our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock
under his care. Today, if you hear his voice.” The pattern begins with praise,
shouting, and joy. Then it moves into a posture of worship and bowing be­
fore the Lord. After that, there is a reference to hearing God’s voice. The
hearing of the Lord’s voice has to do with the Holy of Holies. The path from
the Holy Place into the Holy of Holies is one of worship.
Priestly garments
There is much revelation in the garments the priests would wear. There were
three layers of garments. The layers are revealed in three colors. The first
color of the priestly garments worn was pure white linen. White and linen
both speak of righteousness. Isaiah 61:10 states “I delight greatly in the
Lord; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of
salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom
adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.”
The connection here with a priest and a bride is no accident. The true bride
of Christ will be priests that minister before the Lord in worship and prayer.
The white layer of garments had three parts. Three is the number of God.
The white turban worn on the head speaks of a holy thought life. The white
robe that went from the neck to the wrists and ankles speaks of the robe of
righteousness. Last, there were white “pajama like” bottoms worn that cov­
ered the nakedness of the priest. They were called the “breeches.” This
speaks of sexual purity. If the priests forgot this garment as he went on the
altar, he would have died. God hates nudity. He created Adam and Eve with
a clothing of his glory, which they lost in their sin. Nudity is a continual re­
minder of that fall. Now I do not mean that God hates you taking a shower or
making love in marriage! But I do believe he hates nude beaches, pornogra­
phy, stripping, etc…
The clothing of power
The next layer to cover the priest was the blue tunic. This was like a long
vest. It had no sleeves. On the bottom round about it were bells and pome­
granates. The bells speak of the gifts of the Spirit and the pomegranates
speak of the fruit of the Spirit. A pomegranate is a type of fruit. I want to
mention that since we don’t have a lot of pomegranates in Texas. This blue
tunic was what allowed a priest access into the Holy Place to begin with! So
what is this blue tunic exactly? We see in Luke 24:49 Jesus said, “stay in the
city until you have been clothed with power from on high.” This “clothing of
power” has to do with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I made a statement in
the beginning of this book that if Christians understood their Jewish roots, it
would solve a lot of doctrinal debates. This is a prime example. This shows
the baptism in the Holy Spirit in a powerful way. The result of this baptism
released the gifts and fruit of the Spirit in someone’s life in a very real way,
and gave them access to the Holy Place. Some people believe the baptism
