This section is kind of separate but I still want to bring it up.
I think there is something here as to timing of Revelation.
But I don't quite understand it and maybe someone can help me with it.
Ellen White says this...
I was shown what did take place in heaven at the close of the prophetic periods in 1844. As Jesus ended His ministration in the holy place and closed the door of that apartment, a great darkness settled upon those who had heard and rejected the message of His coming, and they lost sight of Him. Jesus then clothed Himself with precious garments. Around the bottom of His robe was a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate. A breastplate of curious work was suspended from His shoulders. As He moved, this glittered like diamonds, magnifying letters which looked like names written or engraved upon the breastplate. Upon His head was something which had the appearance of a crown. When fully attired, He was surrounded by angels, and in a flaming chariot He passed within the second veil. {EW 251.2}
You will notice that she says Jesus put on precious garments including the breastplate.
But in the scripture I don't see that the High Priest did this on the Day of Atonement.
Lev 16:3 "Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering."
Lev 16:4 "He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on."
Lev 16:32 "And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments:"
Maybe in heaven you don't to worry so much about the blood getting on your clothes and the reason the High Pries went into the Most Holy with only linen garments was because of that?
I don't know, but according to Ellen White we can see Jesus put on his precious garments when going into the Most Holy Place.
Which that does lead me back to this verse.
Rev 1:13 "And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
We don't find a golden girdle in the priestly clothes on earth but we do find a curious girdle.
Ex 39:21 "And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses."
Ex 39:29 "And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.".
So here is the differences.
High Priest Clothes | Day Of Atonement Clothes | Jesus in Revelation Clothes | Ellen White - Precious Garments |
So again I don't know what all of this means, if you have some insight please let me know.
