James 4:10

Grace bigger than sins

The forehead is especially that portion of the human face on which is pictured the purpose, will and mind.

.....................Throughout Christ's earthly ministry, the holiness of Jehovah God was the ruling purpose of His mind.

The golden plate is described before the matre, the object of the matre was to enable the High Priest to wear the plate of god before the Lord.

...........Engraved on the golden plate was the writing
......................"HOLINESS TO JEHOVAH"
without it, he couldn' be in the presence of the Lord on behalf of Israel.

The white, fine linen that the head gear was made of,
.......represented the righteousness and purity
..............that must be manifested in one
.....................who stands in the presence of God
.............................on the behalf of others.

The High Priest was never to lose sight of his glorious calling.

..........................His life was to be spent in the tabernacle, always being ready to do God's will.

The Mitre that covered the head of the High Priest was a type of his being subject to God and that he was always supposed to be standing the God's presence.

Exodus 39:28 And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen.


The word "Mitre" is used for the head of the High Priest.

It comes from the verb to "roll" or to "wind around"; possibly saying the the mitre was wound around the High Priest's head.

Between each two pomegranates there was a golden bell on the hems of their robes.
.............................................The bells sounded as the High Priest entered the Most Holy Place, his steps made a Heavenly melody, and when he returned again from the presence of God, his footsteps rang out.

Around the High Priest skirts were pomegranates of three colors, blue, purple and scarlet: and alternated with each pomegranate was a bell of pure gold.

The High Priest with the Urim in his breastplate became the channel that God manifested His counsels.

...................The Lord Jesus makes known the counsels and purposes of God.

..................................He is the light and in Him is no darkness and through Him God's will is made known to us.
