The Menorah

Our Identity
The Menorah was a lamp stand of gold with six branches extending from the center trunk to remind the people of the seven feasts that the Lord instructed the Israelite to follow.  The Menorah is also God’s road map that points to Jesus.  It laid out his birth, death, burial, resurrection, and eventual return.
 
Jesus explained this, “… beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.” (Luke 24:27)
 
The Seven lights of the Menorah speak of seven feasts that shine Jesus.

  1. PASSOVER = FREEDOM
Passover is when God brought deliverance to His people from the bondage of Egypt by sacrificing a perfect lamb.
Jesus said that He was the Passover lamb that would be sacrificed for us to be delivered from spiritual bondage.Jesus died on the cross on the actual Passover date to bring us spiritual freedom.
  1. UNLEAVEN BREAD = ANSWER TO PRAYER
This was a feast day requiring you were to eat bread that didn’t rise while you prayed for God to “bring fruit out of the ground that you most needed” for the next day of First fruits.
This festival occurred on the actual day that Jesus was in the ground. All of Jerusalem was praying that night that God would “bring out of the ground that which they most needed.” Jesus’s death and resurrection was the answer to the prayers of Unleaven Bread.
  1. FIRST FRUITS = RESURRECTION
The third candle is First Fruits, which occurred three days after Passover.On this festival, God’s people were to bring to God the first thing out of the ground from the spring harvest.
Jesus is called the First Fruit of resurrection. He was raised from the dead on the actual date of First Fruits because He was the “first thing out of the ground” at His resurrection.
  1. FEAST OF PENTECOST = GOD’S WORD
The fourth candle points to the Feast of Pentecost. Fifty days after First fruits, Pentecost celebrated the “50 days after Passover” when Moses came down and gave God’s Word to the People.
Fifty days after Jesus death, His spirit came down and gave God’s Word to the People in the Book of Acts at the Festival of Pentecost.
  1. FEAST OF TRUMPETS = RETURNING KING
The fifth Menorah candle points to the Feast of Trumpets.This was a time of blowing the Shofar. Trumpets were often used as a celebration of the returning king.
Jesus said that He will one day return to earth as a king with the sounds of trumpets.
  1. DAY OF ATONEMENT = PRIEST (Scapegoat)
The sixth feast is the Day of Atonement.This was the day the priest went into the Holiest place and put his hands on a “scapegoat” to take the consequences of our wrong doing.You would place your hands on the goat symbolizing the blame-transfer from us to the goat.The goat would then be released into the wilderness as a symbol that you had escaped punishment.
Jesus claims to be our scapegoat and great High Priest. He goes into the presence of God, places all our wrong doing on Himself, and the curtain of the temple is torn upon his death.
  1. FEAST OF TABERNACLE = IMMANUEL (God with us)
The middle candle of the Menorah points to the Feast of Tabernacles.This feast actually featured a Menorah.It was a longing for God’s light to come and dwell (or tabernacle) among his people.God said it was to be a day of rejoicing and celebration among the people.This feast was in the autumn, a time when “Shepherds are out in their fields by night.”Herod created giant 70-feet tall Menorah’s to light up the temple on this day.
Jesus was born on the date of the Feast of Tabernacle.The Angels reference this festival when they tell the shepherds that this is a time of great joy for all people. John tells us that “Jesus was the Word made flesh” that came to dwell or tabernacle among us. (John 1:14)
