In this episode, scripture scholar Frances Hogan ignites our faith as she unravels the prophetic potency of the Tabernacle's sacred symbols. Starting with the Table of Showbread, Hogan unveils Christ as the ultimate Bread of Life, the cornerstone of our salvation. The table's symbolic layers—blue for heaven, scarlet for sacrifice, and badger skins for incorruptibility — paint a vivid picture of the price Jesus paid for our redemption.

Next, Hogan illuminates the Menorah, the seven-branched lampstand that shines as a beacon of Christ's light and the gift of the Holy Spirit. Its almond blossoms herald new life, echoing the resurrection and the eternal glory of the New Jerusalem.

Finally, she delves into the Altar of Incense, a gateway to God's presence. This altar symbolizes the prayers of the saints, a vital connection between repentance and worship. Hogan reveals the profound spiritual meanings hidden within these ancient symbols, inviting listeners to experience a deeper connection with Christ and the divine.
