DAILY READINGS: Num. 22:39-23:26; Prov. 20 to 21:11; James 4:13-5:20
And he made the altar of burnt offering… it was foursquare. Ex. 38:1
And he made the incense altar… it was foursquare. Exodus 37:25
It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double. Exodus 39:9
And the city lieth foursquare. Revelation 21:16
Four things here are foursquare; equal and fully balanced in their dimensions. The altar of burnt offering testifies to the atonement offered by the Lord Jesus. The altar of incense testifies to the intercession offered by our great High Priest. The breastplate reminds us that our High Priest is compassionate to those who are on His heart. The city will testify throughout eternity to the power of Christ to bring lost souls to repentance, change sinners to saints, and bring glory to God. —Tom Steere
Jesus! All perfections rise and end in Thee;
Brightness of God’s glory Thou, eternally. —D. A. McGregor
