VIII. MAIN BODY:
Exodus 29:44 (King James Version)
And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the priest's office.
A. The LORD will sanctify the tabernacle and the altar
"And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar:"
Revelation 1:5-6 (Amplified Bible)
And from Jesus Christ the faithful and trustworthy Witness, the Firstborn of the dead [first to be brought back to life] and the Prince (Ruler) of the kings of the earth. To Him Who ever loves us and has once [for all] loosed and freed us from our sins by His own blood,
And formed us into a kingdom (a royal race), priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the power and the majesty and the dominion throughout the ages and forever and ever. Amen (so be it).
John 10:36 (Amplified Bible)
[If that is true] do you say of the One Whom the Father consecrated and dedicated and set apart for Himself and sent into the world, You are blaspheming, because I said, I am the Son of God?
Leviticus 21:15 (Amplified Bible)
That he may not profane or dishonor his children among his people; for I the Lord do sanctify the high priest.
The signature of ALEPH-TAV, the BEGINNING and the END, the ALPHA and the OMEGA is placed after the word "sanctify" meaning the word sanctify itself became important and infinite, needless to say, the word "sanctify" was sanctified by the LORD's Presence. GOD wants to sanctify everything we use to worship Him, the altar and the tabernacle (our bodies).
John 1:14 (Amplified Bible)
And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth.
B. The LORD will sanctify the priests to minister to Him
"I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the priest's office"
Leviticus 22:16 (Amplified Bible)
And so cause them [by neglect of any essential observance] to bear the iniquity when they eat their holy things; for I the Lord sanctify them.
Only the LORD JESUS CHRIST can sanctify us.
Hebrews 10:10 (Amplified Bible)
And in accordance with this will [of God], we have been made holy (consecrated and sanctified) through the offering made once for all of the body of Jesus Christ (the Anointed One).
