Ex. 28:1-4 Faithful God

"Aaron, Aaron!" 

Aaron heard the voice and got up from sleep. "who is this?" he asked.

"this is me, Mr. Satan"

"Oh, what is it?" Aaron asked.

"I got a doubt Aaron. Can i ask?" Satan asked.

"Yes, you can ask", Aaron replied.

Satan asked, "Did Moses had a call in his life? I mean did God call him to serve him?"

"ha ha ha" Aaron laughed. He said, "you don't know the story? He saw the Lord in a bush. God called him and sent him. He saw the Lord and he speaks with him face to face. Nobody can doubt it. We have lot of proofs."

"Oh ok, i dont know that. Now, i have an another question. Shall i ask?"

"Yes you can ask. I can easily answer your stupid questions" Aaron replied

"My question is, do you have a call?" Devil asked.

"Yes, I have a call. hmmm... yes i do have a call." Aaron replied

"Did God call you from a bush? Did you hear his voice in a dream or a vision calling you to serve him?"

Aaron said, "hmm... No... but Moses told me that God told him to be his mouth because I can speak good. I think its.. its my call..."

Devil replied, "So you THINK that it is your call. So you dont have any proofs that God called you. So... ok. I got to believe this. Ok i will do?"

"Actually... God's words are put in my mouth" Aaron replied but it seems that devil already left.

Aaron kept silent. Aaron could not sleep well that night. When he got up in the morning, Moses was ready to go. Moses said, "brother, Aaron. get ready we need to go"

Aaron replied, "yes i am getting ready. you just go on. I will meet you on the way."

Aaron looked through the doors and saw that Moses was walking through the tents and the people standing with respect and saluting him. Aaron got ready. He made some extra furnishing to his beard. He came out to walk through the tents. No one is standing. But he felt people are standing behind him after he passed over them. He wanted to tell them that its okay, no need to stand. He turned back to tell them. When he turned back, he found that Miriam was coming. People are standing to greet her. It was humiliating. These people are common people. They really dont know my talents  He said to a man standing next to him, "I am going out. You know i have to catch Moses. I have to speak for him. He cannot speak for himself you know."

Then the next person to Aaron replied, "yes. But you got to wait until he speaks. You cannot speak until he speaks. You really have great brothers and sisters. Miriam is a prophetess and Moses is a great leader."

Aaron smiled and said, "yes, yes i have a great family" Now Aaron thought, if Moses is a leader and Miriam is a prophetess, then what is me? What is my title? Do i really have a call?"

There came day. Someone knocked the door. Aaron opened the door. Moses was standing at the door. "Hi Moses, how are you?"

"I am fine. I came to tell you that God wants you to come up to the hill."

"Come up to the hill?"

"Yes, and you need to come along with your two sons, Nadab and Abihu. I will be waiting there. I got to go" Saying this Moses left.

Aaron was very happy. He said to himself, Its not just me. "Nadab! hey, Abihu! get ready, we need to go up the holy mountain."

Eleazar and Ithamar came to Aaron and said, "are we also coming dad?"

"No, only Nadab and Abihu."

He went up along with his two sons. He came down along with his two sons. He said to himself, "what is my call. Now what is the call of my sons?"

Few days later, someone knocked the door. Aaron opened the door. He saw someone. That someone said to Aaron, "Moses wants to see you. He said that you bring all your four sons."

"Why", Aaron said to himself. He took all his sons and went to Moses.

When he met Moses, Moses smiled and said, "Before God told me to tell you that you speak well and speak for me, he also said 'Who gave a mouth to man, or who makes a person mute or deaf or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the LORD?' He did not call you because you speak well but he created you like this because he called you. Call exists before it actually comes to you. The call he gave you is not for you alone. It is not going to cease. It will continue in your children's mouth. All these days you served him without a special garment and a title. Now you will have an ephod, special garment. Your title is "high priest" and your sons are the priests. This job will continue in your seed for generations and you will serve the Lord in his own house."

Tears rolling down his cheeks, Aaron embraced Moses tightly and looked up the mountain of God with the heart of gratitude. His mind started thinking all the things happened in his life in the past and how God trained him all these years for this purpose.

Isa 59:21 “As for me, this is my promise to them,” says the LORD. “My spirit, who is upon you, and my words, which I have placed in your mouth, will not depart from your mouth or from the mouths of your children and descendants from this time forward,” says the LORD.

Ex. 26.31-33 My Saviour on a vail

Ex 26:31-33 My Saviour on the Vail

It reminds me the Sacrifice of my Saviour

Exod 26:31 

"And thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet"

These colors came because they got to kill a jelfish and some worms. So it is a vail of sacrifice. ".... And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?"(Heb. 1:14)

Jesus was that worm and the fish. He was killed. He said, "But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people." (Ps. 22:6)

God wants to have the remembrance of Jesus on the vail of most holy place. Jesus was rejected by people like a worm and he also went through a painful thought of Father forsaking him. If someone looks us down like a worm or forsakes you, remember that you are nearest place to the Lord, near to his most holy place. He takes you to very near to him. 

It reminds me Faithful One

"with cherubims shall it be made"

Cherubims are the intimate angels of the Lord. They stand in the presence of the Lord. Faithful can watch the face of the Lord. Moses is a faithful man. The Lord said about him, "...and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold"  (Num. 12:8)

When Gabriel said "I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee" (Luke 1:19), it was like he was questioning "how come you dont believe me?" The question at the moses' incident was "wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?"

The punishment to Zacharias was to be dumb and the punishment at the Moses' incident was Leprosy. If FAITHFUL can watch the face of the Lord its like a WARNING to us if we dont believe them. According to John 1:18 Jesus is the only one that saw the Father. He is named "...These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness..." Rev. 3:14 What if we dont believe this faithful Jesus?

He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Heb. 11:28-31

It reminds me my Saviour on the nails

Exod 26:32 And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold: their hooks shall be of gold, upon the four sockets of silver.

This remembers the Lord who hanged on the nails. It is a vail on nails. Jesus hanged on the nails. 

It reminds me my Savior who rent his body

Exod 26:33 ... and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy.

The word for dividing here is "parochet". This is from the word paroch which means divide or rend etc. Jesus was that veil divided. By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; Heb. 10:20
