12:42 It was a night of watching unto the Lord and to be much observed for bringing them out of Egypt; this same night of watching unto the Lord is to be observed by all the Israelites throughout their generations.
12:43 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the Passover: No foreigner shall eat of it;
VIII. MAIN BODY:
A. Moses built an altar
"And Moses built an altar"
Moses signifies, represents or symbolizes any CHRISTian believer eager to worship GOD.
Altar is any elevated place or a table where sacrifices are offered. Nowadays, it's the altar is the Church, where we living sacrifices are offered or it's the stage where GOD's message is being preached, is the front of the stage where an altar call is held or the pulpit where GOD's WORD is supported and read.
Romans 12:1 (Amplified Bible)
12:1 I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship.
Hebrews 13:10 (Amplified Bible)
13:10 We have an altar from which those who serve and worship in the tabernacle have no right to eat.
Those who serve and worship in the tabernacle in the Old Testament are not entitled to serve, because altar in the New Testament is the church, pulpit or CHRIST Himself, but during the Old testament, the altar are full of dead sacrifices of animals, blood of animals, while the altar are filled with living sacrifices. This is to separate the worship system of the Old testament and the New testament worship.
We have CHRIST as our altar where we are offered as a living sacrifice. Wherever and whenever we choose to worship we "build" altars of worship for the LORD.
In the Old Testament:
The altar - elevated place made of stones
The priest - human priest that offers sacrifices
The sacrifice - dead animal whose blood was spilled
In the New Testament:
The altar - CHRIST
The priest - CHRIST
The sacrifice - CHRIST (dead and now alive) and us (living sacrifice)
Isaiah 11:10 (Amplified Bible)
11:10 And it shall be in that day that the Root of Jesse shall stand as a signal for the peoples; of Him shall the nations inquire and seek knowledge, and His dwelling shall be glory [His rest glorious]!
John 12:32 (Amplified Bible)
12:32 And I, if and when I am lifted up from the earth [on the cross], will draw and attract all men [Gentiles as well as Jews] to Myself.
We only attract people to come thru the cross, there's no other way, or other way of attracting them.
1 Corinthians 1:17-18 (Amplified Bible)
1:17 For Christ (the Messiah) sent me out not to baptize but [to evangelize by] preaching the glad tidings (the Gospel), and that not with verbal eloquence, lest the cross of Christ should be deprived of force and emptied of its power and rendered vain (fruitless, void of value, and of no effect).
1:18 For the story and message of the cross is sheer absurdity and folly to those who are perishing and on their way to perdition, but to us who are being saved it is the [manifestation of] the power of God.
B. The LORD is my Banner
"and called the name of it, The Lord is my Banner;"
Jehovah-Nissi - The LORD is my Victory. The LORD is my Sign or Flag. Unbelievers can carry different sign, banner or flag but as believers we only carry one flag, one sign, one banner - the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Genesis 22:14 (Amplified Bible)
22:14 So Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide. And it is said to this day, On the mount of the Lord it will be provided.
Genesis 33:20 (Amplified Bible)
33:20 There he erected an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel [God, the God of Israel].
Psalms 60:4 (Amplified Bible)
60:4 [But now] You have set up a banner for those who fear and worshipfully revere You [to which they may flee from the bow], a standard displayed because of the truth. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
The LORD gives me victory or the LORD is my Victory.
1 Corinthians 15:57-58 (Amplified Bible)
15:57 But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory [making us conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ.
15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose].
1 John 5:4 (Amplified Bible)
5:4 For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith.
When you start to worship and pray, you build an altar and that's the time you exercise and practice your faith.
Every time we have enemies, or face enemies, the LORD will introduce Himself with a new name. Some of the people in the bible who got has a revelation of GOD's new name after encountering an enemy:
1. Jacob - after running from Canaanites and the Perizzites. He got the name of El-Bethel
Genesis 34:30 (Amplified Bible)
34:30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have ruined me, making me infamous and embroiling me with the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites! And we are few in number, and they will gather together against me and attack me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my household.
Genesis 35:7 (Amplified Bible)
35:7 There he built an altar, and called the place El-bethel [God of Bethel], for there God revealed Himself to him when he fled from the presence of his brother.
2. Moses - after defeating the Amalekites. He got the name of Jehovah Nissi a new revealed name of GOD.
Exodus 17:15 (Amplified Bible)
17:15 And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord is my Banner;
3. Jacob - after encountering Esau, that tried to kill him. He got the name of "El-Elohe-Israel"
Genesis 33:20 (Amplified Bible)
33:20 There he erected an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel [God, the God of Israel].
4. Gideon - prophesied to defeat the Midianites. He got the name of "Jehovah-Shalom"
Judges 6:24 (Amplified Bible)
6:24 Then Gideon built an altar there to the Lord and called it, The Lord is Peace. To this day it still stands in Ophrah, which belongs to the Abiezrites.
These are but some people of the bible who got a new revealed name of GOD upon their lives after they encounter an enemy. I'm sure you will find more of them. Whatever name will you find, it's guaranteed it's the LORD JESUS CHRIST - LORD of lords, KING of kings.
Philippians 2:10-11 (Amplified Bible)
2:10 That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
2:11 And every tongue [frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
IX. CONCLUSION:
Psalms 60:4 (Amplified Bible)
60:4 [But now] You have set up a banner for those who fear and worshipfully revere You [to which they may flee from the bow], a standard displayed because of the truth. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
Isaiah 13:2 (Amplified Bible)
13:2 Raise up a signal banner upon the high and bare mountain, summon them [the Medes and Persians] with loud voice and beckoning hand that they may enter the gates of the [Babylonian] nobles.
Praise, worship and thank You very much, LORD JESUS for the LORD JESUS is our altar, sacrifice, high priest and Banner, All in One. I worship, glorify and honor You JESUS in my life.
