Each chapter has insights to treasure and reflect on, in meditation.
Special moments for me:
- the breastplate of the high priest with its twelve precious stones was a picture of the New Jerusalem being carried over the heart of the priest as he ministered before God.
- the Hebrew word for intercession is paga which means to struggle by prayer, to press forward, to travail, to weep, to come between, to touch, to reach, to strike the mark, to attack, to fall upon. Our holy argument with God can avert or postpone judgment.
- the Greek word for evil is "poneros", from a word for pain. And related to "penes", poor.
- the entire chapter on apostolic prayer.
- the secret stairway of Song of Songs 2:14
