Zechariah Message 10

In this video Dr Woodhead discusses one of the components of the Tabernacle, the lampstand (Hebrew Menorah). It was filled with pure olive oil, which is a representation of God’s Holy Spirit. This was to provide a physical image of the light of God to the Israelites. So during the dispensation of the Law the lampstand would represent God’s light and presence giving off Himself to the Jews and the world in general through them. This light was the only light in the Tabernacle. There was no light from outside the Tabernacle that was allowed to enter in, only the perpetual light of the Lampstand. It was supposed to but at all times. The middle of the seven lamps would burn all night with the outer six burning from morning to night.
