The Altar of Burnt Offering
And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. (Ver. 6.) Christ, in death and resurrection, in his atoning and accepted sacrifice, is to be set forth as the only ground of communion with God and with his saints.
Before the door of the tabernacle, or dwelling-place of God. For it is only through. the accepted sacrifice of Christ that communion with God can be enjoyed, or that anyone can form part of God’s habitation.
And before the door of the tent of the congregation. For only on this ground can real fellowship with saints be realized, or any one be admitted to their number.
