Tabernacle 5: Emmanuel at the Altar of Incense

The Altar of Incense is a symbol of prayer, located just before the veil before you enter the Most Holy Place. The burning of incense represents the prayers of the people, with the variety of spices symbolizing the different ways we can approach God in prayer. Jesus, our High Priest, models prayer in a beautiful way and continues to intercede for us so that we can deepen our relationship with God. Just as incense fills the Tabernacle with a sweet aroma, our prayers delight the Lord and are a vital part of our spiritual journey from death to abundant life in Christ, leading to a personal and intimate relationship with God.
