Acacia 1 Dram

ACACIA - IMAGE OF CHRIST

 

Acacia or shittim wood was a virtually incorruptible wood that God chose for the construction of the Tabernacle of Moses and its contents; excluding the laver, the golden lamp stand and the mercy seat.  All of the acacia wood was overlaid with pure gold representing the deity of the Lord.  The acacia wood depicts the Lord's humanity and His sinless incorruptible nature.

 

We enter into this anointing through the framework of the tabernacle.  There were 20 boards to the north, 20 to the south and 8 to the west.  These boards stood upright in sockets of silver (which speaks of redemption).  This imagery clearly brings forth a prophetic picture of the body of Christ being jointly fit together, standing 'shoulder-to-shoulder' and resting in the finished work of the cross.  Overlaid in gold represent His Bride taking on His image from glory to glory through His refining fire!
