On the Cross: Christ -- zig zagging through the Sanctuary

Christ walked into the outer court to the Altar of Sacrifice (that was for the Forgiveness of sins) and said Father Forgive Them.




He then proceeded to the
Brazen Laver (representing Baptism) and said Today thou shalt be with Me in paradise, as He was about go through the Baptism of Death.


He then entered the inner court and went to the
Table of Bread (that contained the cups for the drink offering) and said I thirst.




He then crossed over to the
7 Branch Candlestick and said Woman,
Behold Thy Son
.


He then went to the
Altar of Incense (representing the Prayers of God's people) and communed with the Father -- My God, My God, Why hast Thou Forsaken Me?

He then entered the Most Holy Place and approached the Ark of the
Covenant
(where the Law of God was placed -- the Law that requires complete submission) and uttered a Prayer of total submission Father into Thy Hands I commit My spirit.

Finally, He climbed up on the Judgment Seat and gave a decree while wearing a Crown of Thorns -- It Is Finished.
Then He bowed His head and gave up the ghost.
