1. The anointing oil is Christ as God coming to us from God, and the incense is Christ going from us to God.
2. God's coming to us is a matter of the anointing, and our going to God is a matter of prayer.
3. According to the Bible, prayer is not an offering; it is an incense that ascends to God.
4. The bronze altar is for burning offerings, sacrifices. The incense altar is for burning incense to God.
5. God comes to us through Christ, and we go to God in Christ and through Christ.
6. The bronze altar in the outer court supplied the priests two needs. The blood washed them of their sins, and the meat nourished them.
7. The life supply on the showbread table brought the priests to the lampstand, where they received light.
8. The light received at the lampstand guides us to the ark. At the ark, God's presence leads us to the golden altar of incense.
