When Christ was crucified the veil was the only thing removed from temple worship. The Holy Place, the Table of Shewbread, the Altar of Sacrifice, the Altar of Incense, the Golden Lamp Stand and the Brazen Laver were all left in place. Christ effectively removed the barrier between Himself and His priests. The veil separated the priests from the Holy of Holies where only the High Priest could enter once a year. But Jesus, our High Priest, removed the barrier so that all of us (priests) could access the Ark of the Covenant where the manifest presence of God dwells. Whether Jew or Gentile, if we are a worshipper of Jesus Christ, we are a priest with full access to God's presence.
What does throne room worship look like? It is totally God-focused worship. How often do we sing songs that have nothing to do with us? How often do we sing songs that don't have the words "I" or "me" in them?
When in the throne room, all eyes are focused on the King! When in the throne room, all crowns are laid at His feet. When in the throne room, every knee bows before Him. The King, only, sits on the throne. We find even the elders of heaven falling down in humble worship before the Majesty of the King of Kings. There is no elevating of man. There is no flesh with glory. No darkness is allowed to hold authority. And...there is no question as to who is Lord.
What if our worship regularly reflected what is happening around the throne of God even now? One said, "When the worship of heaven becomes the worship of earth, the things of heaven will become the realities of earth." We are walking tabernacles. When God's people become the most Holy Place, the Lord will establish His throne in the midst of His people. His glory will return to earth.
Come Lord Jesus, Come! mjm
