Now that God has revealed to us the Miracle of Communion Fire, now we are ready to understand its true message to us by reviewing the foreshadowing of the OT!
Jesus refers to 1 Sam 21:1-9 David sojourns in Nob with Ahimelech
ShowBread = Shewbread (KJV) = Bread of the Faces (Hebrew)
Bread in the Constant Presence of God on the Table of God
Bread in the Constant Presence of God on the Table of God
Torah = Pentateuch = 1st 5 books of our Bible
There are several codes that come from it
Priestly Code, Holiness Code, Covenant Code, Ritual (Ethical) Decalogue
Priestly Code ~1/3 of commandments in Torah = major source of Jewish Law

Cups of frankincense were to be [laced among the rows of cakes. Frankincense constitutes a memorial since it was used in burial!
Shewbread or showbread was always to be present in the Temple. Always in the Presence of the Lord. Look closer of what was on the table!
1. Table of Gold - signifies that most precious - a meal for a King
2. 12 Loaves in 2 piles - 12 Tribes of Israel and 2 Kingdoms
3. Frankincense - the burial in the presence of God that was so precious from the tribe of Judah in Israel
2. 12 Loaves in 2 piles - 12 Tribes of Israel and 2 Kingdoms
3. Frankincense - the burial in the presence of God that was so precious from the tribe of Judah in Israel
This table foreshadows the Chosen people of God represented by the 2 Kingdoms, producing a human, Jesus, from the place that was in the same Kingdom as the Temple, always in the presence of God, lead to burial only to rise a King and a High Priest forever.
This Shewbread was the place of communication where God would come to "dine" (commune) with His people. It was a place that always had its faces (people) prepared to commune with God, waiting on His presence. It was a place of connection and communication!
The veil in the Temple in Jerusalem is rent (torn). What veil?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_of_Holies#Tabernacle
The Holy of Holies - separated from The Holy Place by a veil. The place where God's presence appeared. The Most Holy Place! WHY?

The Bread of the Presence was located in The Holy Place separated by the Holy of Holies by the veil where only special times of the year, the High Priest was allowed to go into the Holy of Holies to advocate for God's people.

From the Courtyard where sacrifices were done (unclean) to the Holy Place of worship where the Clean (the priests were Levites consecrated to God), in the presence of miracles (menorah), were waiting to "commune" with the Presence of God in the Holy place at the table of the bread of Faces, from among which Christ would come and die, to become the High Priest Forever to make them Holy in the Presence of God!
The entire tabernacle and Temple were a foreshadowing of Holy Communion. The purpose, like God, is eternal. It was the same then. It was the same during the Apostolic times, and it is the same NOW!
The Temple is us now! We move from the outer courtyard unclean to The Holy Place where grace keeps us clean through the indwelling of the Holy Spirits. We are his consecrated people (priest and priestesses) in the presence of His moving miracles, with our Faces always in the presence of Jesus Christ (our High Priest) that advocates for us with the Father.
Once we are glorified, we can then be in the presence of the Father as joint heirs (equal to Christ) with Jesus Christ.
The Communion table is communing (dining, communicating) in the presence of God via our High Priest Christ who is one of us at the table of His presence, but glorified!
Communion daily is much more than remembering. It is the way we stay in the very presence of God. We ARE the shewbread!

FOUNDATIONAL SUMMARY
1. God is the Eternal Creator
2. God exists in 3 persons, 1 Common Divine Nature (CDN) – The Trinity - God the Father (Creator/Mastermind), God the Son, Yeshua Hamashiach (Hebrew) (Jesus [of Nazareth] The Christ) (Manager/Administrator/High Priest/King), God the Spirit (Discerning Presence)
3. Truth is Eternal and therefore NEVER changes.
4. God is Omni-benevolent - ALL GOOD
5. God is Omniscient - ALL KNOWING
6. God is Omnipotent - ALL POWERFUL
7. The Bible is therefore the WORD of God and it is never wrong and it never fails. So, the Bible is the standard for the Christian. If we have no standard comparison is pointless and impossible.
8. The Law of Opposites demands that Good is defined as the opposite of Evil. Where 1 is the other MUST exist by definition
9. The Law Opposites therefore introduces the Law of Free Agency
10. The Law of Free Agency demands a choice so the Law of Justice must also be present.
11.Satan (and his demons) has no material being so he must possess the material to be seen as material.
12. Mercy (not getting what you deserve) is eternal since God is good, but God is just, so mercy cannot rob justice!
13. God had to find another way to develop (teach) His creation after innocence was compromised and redeem them back to Himself, without changing His WORD! - The Plan of Salvation
14.God the Son, Yeshua Hamashiach (Hebrew) (Jesus [of Nazareth] The Christ) is our example and Advocate to the Father via the Holy Spirit.

THE MOVING MIRACLE SUMMARY
1. A Prophet or Seer is a person regarded as an inspired teacher or proclaimer of the will of God.
2. God often obscured Truths from His creation (mystery) to protect them from "knowing the Truth" in our humanity (fallen state).
3. The Law of Moses can be summarized as "righteousness by self".
4. The Levitical law over 600 commandments classified humanity into three states - unclean, clean, and holy.
5. Under the Law, only "unintentional" sin was forgivable! Intentional sin (sin done after "knowing" God's TRUTH (Light), was unforgivable.
6. Therefore, mystery was necessary to protect humanity from becoming irredeemable!
7. Prophecies were obscured in mystery to put Truth in the open where only those "enlightened" could grasp its concepts!
8. Hope is a wish that can lead to the feeling of belief that when nurtured leads to the confirmation of trust and a choice, which produces the motive force of Faith!
9. Faith is further increased by exercising and testing it.
10. Seeing isn't believing....Believing IS seeing!
11. Signs and wonders are indicators that appeal to our human senses and bring us in remembrance of some spiritual Truth.
12. Signs and wonders are mysteries to the carnal (human) senses. They display Truth to the believer without revealing themselves to the unbeliever.
13. God shows His faith and trust in signs and wonders.
14. When we, as humans, seek a sign as proof of Truth, we show our lack of faith and trust.
15. A miracle is a sign of spiritual authority that overwhelms the natural or carnal senses, but it is commonplace to the spiritual senses.
16. No matter what church, denomination, or group to which the Christian is attached, communion is the Fire of the Spirit that brings us ALL into one faith, one Lord, one baptism and becomes the basis of sanctification of the Church of Jesus the Christ.
17. Communion should therefore be performed as often as possible, daily is our suggestion.
18. Satan wants us to be complacent about communion because He knows how powerful it is to keep faith focused to the point of intimacy.
19. Humans are the Lord's prize possession being made in Their image both in form and in attributes and character, So all humanity is worthy of honor and respect and were made to be rulers over all God's creation.
20. Love is the main attribute of God that brings all other attributes in perfect unity.
21. Communion is much more than just remembering the salvific (saving) sacrifice of Jesus of Nazareth. It is also the Plan by which the Father draws his converts into an intimate relationship with His Son.
22. We as humans are God's Moving Miracle because faith is a motive force and we use faith to overwhelm the carnal senses in order to bring others in remembrance of the spiritual Truth that Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ is Lord.

SIX REASONS FOR CONSTANT COMMUNION
1. It was a plain command from Jesus the Christ to have communion
2. The benefits to those doing daily communion is so great that it is a disadvantage not to have communion daily
3. “The grace of God gives and confirms the pardon of our sins, enabling us to leave them” (Be Bold. Believe. The Miracle of CommunionFire, p 170)
4. Communicating with God using communion shows our desire to seek Him
5. This sacrament is the continual remembrance of the death of Christ through celebrating with the outward signs of the inward grace
6. Prompts us to take time to prepare ourselves for this solemn ordinance by self-examination and prayer (integral parts of sanctification)
