Chapter Eight<br />

The Table <strong>of</strong><br />

the Bread <strong>of</strong> Presence<br />

To get into the manifest presence <strong>of</strong> God, which is revival, we see a<br />

pattern beginning to emerge. The first step we have discovered is entering<br />

by the pure gospel. This will prevent false conversions <strong>and</strong><br />

hypocrites believing they are heaven bound. The next step after the pure<br />

gospel being preached is visiting the cross. After the cross we see a washing<br />

<strong>of</strong> the laver. This gives us access to the table <strong>of</strong> fellowship with the Lord.<br />

We see the outer court was lit up by natural sunlight, <strong>and</strong> it was distant from<br />

the manifest presence <strong>of</strong> God. As we move from the outer court where blood<br />

was shed, we can enter the actual enclosed tent <strong>of</strong> the Holy Place. The Holy<br />

Place was lit up by the light <strong>of</strong> the lampst<strong>and</strong>, which speaks <strong>of</strong> the spiritual<br />

revelation that is given by the Holy Spirit. I will discuss this in the next chap­<br />

ter. Moving into the tent, we leave natural revelation <strong>and</strong> move into spiritual<br />

revelation! This is a place <strong>of</strong> fellowship with God by his Spirit.<br />

The Table was made <strong>of</strong> acacia wood overlaid with pure gold. The wood<br />

speaks <strong>of</strong> humanity, <strong>and</strong> the gold speaks <strong>of</strong> divinity. So we see a mixture <strong>of</strong><br />

fellowship with God <strong>and</strong> man. The Table had two crowns which show Jesus<br />

as the king <strong>of</strong> the Jews <strong>and</strong> Gentiles. On the table were gold pitchers for<br />

wine, dishes, <strong>and</strong> plates. This is a table for communion or fellowship. The<br />

bread was to be baked fresh with frankincense on it. This bread is translated<br />

the bread <strong>of</strong> presence or bread <strong>of</strong> faces. It speaks <strong>of</strong> seeing God face to<br />

face. There are basically two revelations we see in the Table. The first is the<br />

power <strong>of</strong> the Lord’s Supper, <strong>and</strong> the second is the power <strong>of</strong> prayer. I will<br />

discuss these two revelations in this chapter.<br />

Communion<br />

This is a very neglected or abused subject in the body <strong>of</strong> Christ right now.<br />

There are some that actually worship the bread <strong>and</strong> fruit <strong>of</strong> the vine, thus<br />

making it an idol, while others only take communion once a month, if that<br />

<strong>of</strong>ten. There is a balance here. I personally take communion daily on my<br />

own. It is very powerful, as I will discuss in this chapter. The Bible says we<br />

can take it as <strong>of</strong>ten as we want. There is scriptural reference that leads<br />

many scholars to believe the early church may have taken it daily as we see<br />

in Acts 2:42. We can with certainty deduct that the early church took com­<br />
