Exodus 28:1-6 (CJB)
1\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0\u201cYou are to summon your brother Aharon and his sons to come from among the people of Isra\u2019el to you, so that they can serve me as\u00a0cohanim<\/i>\u00a0\u2014 Aharon and his sons Nadav, Avihu, El\u2018azar and Itamar.
2\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0You are to make for your brother Aharon garments set apart for serving God, expressing dignity and splendor.
3\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0Speak to all the craftsmen to whom I have given the spirit of wisdom, and have them make Aharon\u2019s garments to set him apart for me, so that he can serve me in the office of\u00a0cohen.<\/i>
4\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0\u201cThe garments they are to make are these: a breastplate, a ritual vest, a robe, a checkered tunic, a turban and a sash. They are to make holy garments for your brother Aharon and his sons, so that he can serve me in the office of\u00a0cohen<\/i>.
5\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0They are to use gold; blue, purple and scarlet yarn; and fine linen.
6\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0\u201cThey are to make the ritual vest of gold, of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely woven linen, crafted by a skilled artisan.<\/p>

In a study of the tabernacle in the wilderness we find a pattern for worship. The process of going from outside the gate into the very presence of God is laid out by the methods and objects that we encounter. The High Priest was not only able to complete this process, but was able once that he had entered into the Holy of Holies to perform the service of ministry that was distinct to his office. The only way that he was able to perform this service was to be fully clothed with the appropriate garments. In this study we will look into the symbolism in these garments that the High Priest was required to wear to enter into the presence of God, and how they relate to the five-fold ministry.<\/p>

It is important to note that in the outer gate of the tabernacle, in the veil of the tabernacle, and the veil to the Holy of Holies we find four colors; white, red, blue and purple. These four colors represent Yeshua and speak to us of His nature; white for His righteousness, red for His sacrificial blood, blue for His divinity and purple for His royalty. These four colors appear in the garments and show us that not only is He the door, but that He is the way, the truth and the life. And the gold like faith tried by fire, is throughout the Tabernacle proper as well as the garments.<\/p>

In Exodus 28 and verse 1 the Lord says to take Aaron and his 4 sons to serve Him as priest. He refers to all 5 of them together as one \u201c\u2026take Aaron your brother, and his sons\u2026that he may minister unto me as priest,\u2026\u201d, then again in verse 4 \u201c\u2026So they shall make holy garments for\u00a0Aaron your brother and his sons,\u00a0that he\u00a0may minister to Me as priest.\u201d God saw all five of them together fulfilling one role, with Aaron being the one to come before Him. These five men functioned together to accomplish the work of the High Priest. We are not sure exactly how this was accomplished but it is clear from the Scripture that it was the Fathers intent that they all work together to achieve the result He wanted.<\/p>

Ephesians tells us about five-fold ministry:<\/p>

Ephesians 4:10-13 (CJB)
10\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0The one who went down is himself the one who also went up, far above all of heaven, in order to fill all things.
11\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0Furthermore, he gave some people as emissaries, some as prophets, some as proclaimers of the Good News, and some as shepherds and teachers.
12\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0Their task is to equip God\u2019s people for the work of service that builds the body of the Messiah,
13\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0until we all arrive at the unity implied by trusting and knowing the Son of God, at full manhood, at the standard of maturity set by the Messiah\u2019s perfection.<\/p>

We see here that it takes this five ministry anointing working as one to produce the necessary results needed in the body of Yeshua. The body needs to mature and grow into His nature and fulness.<\/p>

We have seen the five-fold relationship in Aaron and his sons. Now let\u2019s look at the next example, the garments themselves.<\/p>

5\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0They are to use gold; blue, purple and scarlet yarn; and fine linen.\u00a0<\/sup>6\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0\u201cThey are to make the ritual vest of gold, of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely woven linen, crafted by a skilled artisan.<\/sup><\/p>

The garments were made of materials in the same four colors that were in the veils of the tabernacle, plus gold has now been added. So we find that\u00a0five\u00a0colors of materials are in the garments. Each of these colors can represent one of the five-fold offices.<\/p>

The revelation of God that Aaron received and the access that he had came thru the office that he held. It was when he put on the garments and followed the pattern of worship that had been given that he could have access to the very presence of God.<\/p>

These garments represent the character and nature of Christ. The way we put them on is in the receiving of the Word from the perspective of each of the five-fold ministries.<\/p>

Let\u2019s break it down in the order it is put on:<\/p>

White\u00a0\u2013 The foundation garment was of fine linen. It included linen breeches, a bonnet, a belt and a woven robe. They were made of pure white linen and symbolized the righteousness of Christ. The\u00a0teacher\u00a0is called by God to break down the Word and instruct us in righteousness. He reveals to us the \u201clogos\u201d the written Word of God.<\/p>

Blue\u00a0\u2013 Over the linen robe was a blue robe called the robe of the ephod. It was woven to fit the one individual that it was intended for. It symbolizes the divinity of Christ. The\u00a0prophet\u00a0gives a direct \u201crhema\u201d word from God, a right now word. The robe of the ephod also had attached to its hem pomegranates and bells which symbolize gifts of the Spirit and fruit of the Spirit.<\/p>

Yeshua in referring to the \u201chearing of the Word\u201d was referring to the \u201cLaw and the Prophets\u201d.<\/p>

Red \u2013\u00a0The color red symbolizes the blood and is also symbolic of the work of an\u00a0evangelist. Although we all are to win souls the main thrust of the evangelist is to preach salvation. This color is seen in the ephod. There is not an entire garment of red but it is woven into the part over the heart.<\/p>

Purple \u2013\u00a0The color purple stands for authority. This speaks to us of the office of the\u00a0pastor\u00a0who has the charge to oversee a local church or congregation. This color is also not an entire garment but is found in the ephod. Authority must be woven into the part of the garment that holds the stones that represents the tribes, the people. Without proper authority there is no unity to hold the people together.<\/p>

Gold \u2013\u00a0The gold on and in the ephod stands for the\u00a0apostle\u00a0who has been tested and tried in the fire and found to have pure faith. It has properties that cause the ephod to become a device that lends itself to communication with God. It is also a conductor of the power of God.<\/p>

The Ephod:<\/p>

The main item in the garment of the High Priest was the ephod. This item was worn over the white and blue robes, logos and rhema. It was in two pieces a front and a back, it was attached at the shoulders with a gold setting and chain, and it was held in place with a \u201ccurious girdle\u201d. The ephod and the girdle were finely embroidered with all four colors and with gold wire.<\/p>

On the shoulder settings were two stones, each with 6 names of the tribes of Israel in order of birth. On a breastplate about 9 inches square, were 12 stones which were crystals in four rows of three. These stones contained the names of the tribes of Israel according to service, Numbers 10. The whole nation was symbolized by birth and service. They became \u201clively stones\u201d when touched by God\u2019s power. Inside a pouch behind the breastplate were kept the Urim and Thummim. They were used to discern the will of God for a specific situation.<\/p>

When the High Priest entered into the Holy of Holies, wearing the robes and the ephod, God would speak to him what He wanted the people to hear. It is interesting to note that gold wire and plating like that of the ephod is one of the finest conductors of electromagnetic waves in the world. Most of your high end electronics that are used for audio and video have contacts made of gold wire or plating. So when the Ark of the Covenant was struck by the power of God it caused the gold thread and plate to carry the power to the stones which created light and sound.<\/p>

The main purpose of the ephod was to be a communications device for God to talk to men!<\/p>

How do we put on these garments which symbolize the character and nature of Christ?<\/p>

They are put on through the hearing of the Word. Each of the five-fold ministries have a unique way of communicating the Gospel. The teacher and the prophet, the pastor, the evangelist and the apostle all preach from the same Word. But they teach it under a different anointing, each anointing clothing those who receive the Word in the character and nature of Christ.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Yeshua came to the earth with a specific mission. Wrapped up in Him was all of God\u2019s provision for Him to accomplish His task. It was \u201cthe work of God\u201d that He was doing during those 3+ years. As we saw the shadow and pattern of the five-fold gifts in the garments of the High Priest so we will see the substance of those gifts in Christ.
