Did you ask me where did I come from, I don't know, I was taught in school that I came from a monkey and am developing into an intelligent human being. If I don't, I understand that there are laws on the books to take away my dignity and my life. By the way, Where did I come from? (We recommend the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible. Use any version you choice, but please compare it with the KJV. Thank you)
INTRODUCTION TO THE OLD TESTAMENT SANCTUARY
In the world we live in there is a tendency to forget where we came from. We remember there once was good and evil, yet, our societies haven't learned what it was like years ago. There is a controversy between Christians and Scientist. If we go with the Christians and the history of each country we find that Christians could be right. The Eternal God created us and we have the Bible and the history of every country to show that the Bible could be right. Therefore, according to the Bible there is a Great Controversy going on in the universe. This controversy has two leaders, a created angel who sought to exalt himself and the Eternal God. Scientists seem to think and since the Bible can not be proved, we developed over millions of years from a monkey or a tiny tadpole in the sea.
I would like to suggest you read nine chapters in the Bible to see what it says about this subject. You can believe it or not believe, stop reading or read more. The chapters are the first three chapters of Genesis and Job, that would make six chapters. The others three chapters has to do with the last three chapters of Job. (Job is pronounced with a long o.) Bible scholars say these two books were written by Moses. He also wrote four other books that tell us about the Sanctuary or Tabernacle that God ask His people to build so He could live or dwell among them. These four books are Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Moses was the one who went upon a mountain to get the ten commandments God had written on two tables of stone (Ex 31:18). Also check out Re 12:7-9; Mt 25:41

Also check out Re 12:7-9; Mt 25:41 The Old Testament Sanctuary (OTS) has some very important teachings in it. It is like a parable that teaches us how to get on God's side of the Great Controversy and to stay on that side. It has three areas to it.
God's way is in the Old Testament Sanctuary (OTS), Psalms 77:13.
Make Me a Sanctuary that I may dwell among you, Exodus 25:8.
God dwells among humans through His people. We, plus our churches and our mission endeavors to help and encourage our fellowman to keep on keeping on are also sanctuaries as God's dwelling place to have His character put before the human race.
God is love in the *purest sense*. This means the positive, uplifting, moral character will reveal the fruits of the spirit (our attitude). Love, joy, etc. (Galations 5:22,23) help us understand His character as well as does the following Scriptures. He 13:20,21; Ex 20:1-7; De 5:4,6-21,22; Js 2:27; 2 Pe 2:4-11; Ps 91, 1 Co 13. Read all of Ephesians. See *JEHOVAH, The LORD God* Bible Study.

I use special Bible-book abbreviations with two letters:
Ge; Ex; Le; Nu; De; Jh; Jg; Ru; 1Sa; 2Sa; 1Ki; 2Ki; 1Ch; 2Ch; Ez; Ne; Es; Jb; Ps; Pr; Ec; SS; Is; Je; La; Ek; Da; Ho; Jl; Am; Ob; Jo; Mi; Na; Hb; Ze; Hg; Za; Ma;

You can learn the Books of the Bible and their locations better by studying and using these abbreviations. There are other ways, choose the best one for you.

Many times God presented Himself to the Isrealites (Jewish people) of the Old Testament (OT). Make you a notebook and as you read the Old Testament keep Scriptures and notes. When you use the King James Version (KJV) you can look up other similar verses in the Strong's Concordance. I believe The New International Version (NIV) has a concordance also. I have a Bible containing KJV, NIV, Living Bible (LB) and Revised Standard Version (RSV). I like the KJV because it was written before most modern teachings came about.
Many of God's commands, instructions and Truths have been changed by Satan's inspirations in using some prophets and teachers. Isrealites were the True people of God in the OT. and since many churches have been raised up, they go so far, reject the New Truth God desires to give then He would have to raise up a new church. The Christian churches have been carrying the Gospel Good News of Jn 3:16 -- Believe in and accept Jesus as Saviour and get to know Jehovah God, Jesus' Father, your's and my Heavenly Father for eternal life. (Jn 17:3; Mt 6:9-13)
I will seek to give you Bibilically True Bible Studies on this website--the Truest Old Testament is the Septugint. I have not found the original New Testament. So we need to understand the order in information we receive. The Septugint was the Bible (Scriptures) Jesus, the disciples and Paul studied. It is our bases to get True Truth. There are some discrapances that you will find throughout the Bible Studies and Articles that you may not be use to. Some may be very foreign to you and you may want to reject them. Study to show yourself approved unto God, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. (2Ti 2:15). This is my email address williams@hyperusa.com and you are welcome to email me at any time telling me all you want to. I will answer as soon as possible. Thank you for your respect for God's Word and your desire to Get to know Him and His Word better.
There are three areas to the OTS. The Courtyard, The Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. Two of these are located in the Tabernacle part of the Sanctuary. As stated above these help us learn where we came from, why we are here and where we are going. We learn from the Bible we came from a special creation. We see how God created (Ps 33:4-9) and Who created (Is 12:2; 26:4; Ge 1, 2 -- JEHOVAH -- The LORD God, or LORD, God. The Name the Jewish or Isrealites used for God was YAHWEH -- The Lord GOD, or Lord, GOD. See the difference in Ps 109:21 & 26; Ek 28-34)
