The Altar of Gold

And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony. (Ver. 5.) The worship of the Father, in spirit and in truth, by purged, worshippers drawing nigh in conscious acceptance through Christ Jesus, and in all the preciousness and perfume of his sacred name, —this worship is to be presented and maintained before God.
The altar of gold for the incense was to be set immediately before the ark of the testimony, as teaching that this worship is connected with Christ risen and glorified within the vail, through whom the believer has boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him, in drawing nigh to God.
