Was Aaron A Type of Christ? 29:1 And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest's office: Take one young (Taurus) bullock, and two (Aries) rams without blemish, 2 And unleavened (lunar white) bread, and (lunar white) cakes unleavened tempered with (solar golden) oil, and (lunar white) wafers unleavened anointed with (solar golden) oil: of wheaten flour shalt thou make them. 3 And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the (Taurus) bullock and the two (Aries) rams. 4 And Aaron (Hercules) and his (Gemini, Perseus and Auriga) sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with (lunar) water. 5 And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron (Hercules) the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the (golden) breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod: 6 And thou shalt put the (lunar white) mitre upon his head, and put the holy (solar golden) crown upon the (lunar white) mitre. 7 Then shalt thou take the (solar golden) anointing oil, and pour it upon his (Hercules') head, and anoint him. 8 And thou shalt bring his (Gemini, Perseus and Auriga) sons, and put coats upon them. 9 And thou shalt gird them with girdles, (Hercules) Aaron and his (Gemini, Perseus and Auriga) sons, and put the (lunar white) bonnets on them: and the priest's office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute: and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons. 10 And thou shalt cause a (Taurus) bullock to be brought before the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron (Hercules) and his (Gemini, Perseus and Auriga) sons shall put their hands upon the head of the (Taurus) bullock. 11 And thou shalt (red radius) kill the (Taurus) bullock before the Lord, by the door of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation.. 12 And thou shalt take of the (red radius) blood of the (Taurus) bullock, and put it upon the (red radius) horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the (red radius) blood beside the bottom of the (solar brass) altar. 13 And thou shalt take all the (lunar white) fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul that is above the liver, and the two (lunar) kidneys, and the (white lunar) fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the (solar brass) altar. 14 But the flesh of the (Taurus) bullock, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with (solar) fire without the camp: it is a sin offering. 15 Thou shalt also take one (Aries) ram; and (Hercules) Aaron and his (Gemini, Perseus and Auriga) sons shall put their hands upon the head of the (Aries) ram. 16 And thou shalt (red radius) slay the (Aries) ram, and thou shalt take his (red radius) blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the (solar brass) altar. 17 And thou shalt (red radius) cut the (Aries) ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him, and his legs, and put them unto his pieces, and unto his head. 18 And thou shalt (solar) burn the whole (Aries) ram upon the (solar brass) altar: it is a burnt offering unto the Lord: it is a sweet savour, an offering made by (solar) fire unto the Lord. 19 And thou shalt take the other (Aries) ram; and (Hercules) Aaron and his (Gemini, Perseus and Auriga) sons shall put their hands upon the head of the (Aries) ram. 20 Then shalt thou (red radius) kill the (Aries) ram, and take of his (red radius) blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of (Hercules) Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear (Canis Major, Perseus) of his (Gemini, Perseus and Auriga) sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand (Cetus, Canis Minor), and upon the great toe of their right foot (Cepheus, Ophiuchus), and sprinkle the (red radius) blood upon the (solar brass) altar round about. 21 And thou shalt take of the (red radius) blood that is upon the (solar golden) altar, and of the (solar golden) anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon (Hercules) Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his (Gemini, Perseus, Auriga) sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him. 22 Also thou shalt take of the (Aries) ram the (lunar white) fat and the rump, and the (lunar white) fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two (lunar) kidneys, and the (lunar white) fat that is upon them, and the (Perseus, Canis Major) right shoulder; for it is a ram (Aries) of consecration: 23 And one loaf of (lunar white) bread, and one cake of (solar golden) oiled bread, and one (lunar) wafer out of the basket of the (lunar white) unleavened bread that is before the Lord: 24 And thou shalt put all in the hands of (Hercules) Aaron, and in the hands of his (Gemini, Perseus, Auriga) sons; and shalt wave them for a wave offering before the Lord. 25 And thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn them upon the (solar brass) altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the Lord: it is an offering made by (solar) fire unto the Lord. 26 And thou shalt take the breast of the (Aries) ram of Aaron's consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before the Lord: and it shall be thy part. 27 And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the (Aries) ram of the consecration, even of that which is for (Hercules) Aaron, and of that which is for his (Gemini, Perseus and Auriga) sons: 28 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute for ever from the children of Israel: for it is an heave offering: and it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings, even their heave offering unto the Lord. 29 And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them. 30 And that son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven days, when he cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy place. 31 And thou shalt take the (Aries) ram of the consecration, and seethe his flesh in the holy place. 32 And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the (lunar white) bread that is in the (lunar) basket by the door of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation. 33 And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy. 34 And if ought of the flesh of the consecrations, or of the (lunar white) bread, remain unto the (sun on red radius horizon) morning, then thou shalt (solar) burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy. 35 And thus shalt thou do unto (Hercules) Aaron, and to his (Gemini, Perseus and Auriga) sons, according to all things which I have (red radius) commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them. 36 And thou shalt offer every day a (Taurus) bullock for a sin offering for atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the (solar brass) altar, when thou hast made an atonement for it, and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it. 37 Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the (solar brass) altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy. 38 Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two (Aries) lambs of the first year day by day continually. 39 The one (Aries) lamb thou shalt offer in the (sun on red radius horizon) morning; and the other (Aries) lamb thou shalt offer at (sun on red radius horizon) even: 40 And with the one (Aries) lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering. 41 And the other (Aries) lamb thou shalt offer at (sun on red radius horizon) even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by (solar) fire unto the Lord. 42 This shall be a continual (solar) burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee. 43 And there I will meet with the (Gemini) children of Israel, and the (red radius) tabernacle shall be sanctified by my (Shekinah) glory. 44 And I will sanctify the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation, and the (solar) altar: I will sanctify also both (Hercules) Aaron and his (Gemini, Perseus and Auriga) sons, to minister to me in the priest's office. 45 And I will dwell among the (Gemini) children of Israel, and will be their God. 46 And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the Lord their God. Was Aaron a Type of Christ?The Scriptures show Aaron's priesthood foreshadowing Christ's priesthood. The intercession of Aaron is a type of the intercession of Christ. 12.) The rod of Levi with Aaron's name on it, was transformed from dead to alive, but the other tribes' wooden sticks remained dead wood. It indicated that the tribe of Levi was alive unto God, but the other tribes were as good as dead. Thus Aaron was undeniably the High Priest of Israel. All the murmurings against Moses and Aaron were actually rebellion against God. Aaron's “ROD” that budded is the Hebrew word “matteh”. God used this same word “matteh” in Psalm 110 where it refers to Christ. "The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The LORD shall send the ROD of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies" (110:1-2). Aaron's ROD that budded was put inside the Ark of the Covenant (Hebrews 9:4). But why was Aaron’s ROD so special that it should be kept in the golden Ark of the Covenant? It was because Aaron’s ROD, together with the two other items in the Ark of the Covenant, were types of Christ as Savior, and Christ the giver of life.That word matteh has been translated “ROD” 52 times, but the same word has been translated “TRIBE” 182 times. Of course it was not the whole TRIBE of Levi that was locked up in the Ark of the Covenant. But Aaron’s ROD was representing the whole TRIBE of Levi. But how does this apply to us? Well, this ROD that Budded was representing a whole TRIBE that was dead, and was made alive. Aaron’s ROD that Budded was a picture of Christ as the life giver of the TRIBE OF ALL BELIEVERS, because He as our High Priest was giving His blood behind the veil. When the High Priest, once a year, on the Day of Atonement, went behind the veil with the blood of a goat and of a bullock, that was a spiritual picture of Christ as our High Priest going behind the veil, sprinkling His blood on the Mercy Seat. "Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us" (Heb. 9:12). Aaron’s ROD that Budded was a picture of Christ as the life giver of the TRIBE OF ALL BELIEVERS, because He as our High Priest was giving His blood behind the veil. Aaron’s ROD became a symbol of the Atonement. Christ became the giver of Life to those CHRISTIANS for whom He died on the Cross of Calvary. First, there is the bull. The bull which was given as a sin offering (Leviticus 8:14) was sacrificed so that Aaron could make atonement for the sins of the people. The bull was burned OUTSIDE THE CAMP (Leviticus 8:17), as Jesus, the antitype was also sacrificed as a sin offering OUTSIDE OF JERUSALEM, at Golgotha. As with Aaron, this sacrifice made Jesus High Priest of Israel, but in his case he is High Priest forever of spiritual Israel: the church (Hebrews 7:11-28). The parallels with the thieves "sacrificed" along with Jesus are uncanny. The FIRST RAM for the burnt offering (Leviticus 8:18-21) was slaughtered and burned, but the entrails and shanks were washed with water before being burnt because they were unclean. This can be seen as representing the THIEF WHO REJECTED JESUS was not forgiven of his sins. This parallels the symbolism of the normal burnt offering (Leviticus 1). In this case, the head of the bull, which represents Jesus, did not have to be washed, but the body of the bull, which represents "us" (those who are saved by the sacrifice of Jesus) was washed before being burned. In the case of the FIRST RAM, the entire body was burned up in the sacrifice. None was "saved." The differences between the first and second rams in this sacrifice is interesting as a type. The SECOND RAM was also sacrificed and burned, but the differences are striking. First, it was not washed with water. Second, only part of this ram was burned. Some of the blood was used to purify Aaron and his sons, while the breast of the ram was saved from the fire. It was "waved" before the Lord and not burned up. The symbolic prefigure of the OTHER THIEF is hard to miss here. The SECOND THIEF ACKNOWLEDGED JESUS and put his faith in him. Because of his faith, Jesus told him "You will be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43) The implication is that he was forgiven of his sins and saved. Like the SECOND RAM, he did not need to be cleaned with water, as he was forgiven of his sins by Jesus. Like the SECOND RAM, he was saved from the fire. He will not be in hell, but instead is with Jesus in Paradise. It is truly striking that this historical detail was so wonderfully prefigured in the ordination ceremony of the High Priest Aaron who was a prefigure of our High Priest Jesus Christ. It is inconceivable that human minds could have produced this dramatic symbolism. This is not a coincidence. It is further evidence, both that the Old Testament is inspired by God and that Jesus Christ is the prophetic fulfillment of the Old Covenant given to the Jews by God well over one thousand years before Jesus was born. Christ in the Tabernacle
30:1 And thou shalt make an altar to (solar) burn (red radius sticks of) incense upon: of shittim wood (Acacia) shalt thou make it. 2 A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of the same. 3 And thou shalt overlay it with pure (solar) gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a (solar) crown of gold round about. 4 And two golden (solar) rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make it; and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal. 5 And thou shalt make the (red radius) staves of shittim wood (Acacia wood), and overlay them with (solar) gold. 6 And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee. 7 And Aaron (Hercules) shall (solar) (red radius) burn thereon sweet (red radius stick) incense every (sun on red radius horizon) morning: when he dresseth the (lunar or solar) lamps, he shall burn (red radius stick) incense upon it. 8 And when (Hercules) Aaron lighteth the (lunar) lamps at even, he shall burn (red radius stick) incense upon it, a perpetual (red radius stick) incense before the Lord throughout your generations. 9 Ye shall offer no strange (red radius stick) incense thereon, nor (solar) burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour (red radius) drink offering thereon. 10 And Aaron (Hercules) shall make an atonement upon the (red radius) horns of it once in a year with the (red radius) blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the Lord. 11 And the (solar Shekinah) Lord (red radius) spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, saying, 12 When thou takest the sum of the (Gemini) children of Israel after their number, then shall they (red radius) give every man a ransom for his soul unto the (solar Shekinah) Lord, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them. 13 This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary (solar or lunar coin cut in half by red radius line): (a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the Lord. 14 Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the Lord. 15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel (solar coin cut in half), when they give an offering unto the Lord, to make an atonement for your souls. 16 And thou shalt take the atonement money of the (Gemini) children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the (Gemini) children of Israel before the Lord, to make an atonement for your souls. 17 And the (solar Shekinah) Lord (red radius) spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, saying, 18 Thou shalt also make a laver of (solar) brass, and his foot also of (solar) brass, to (red radius) wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation and the (solar golden) altar, and thou shalt put (lunar) water therein. 19 For Aaron (Hercules) and his (Gemini) sons shall wash their (Gemini, Perseus) hands and their (Cepheus, Ophiuchus) feet thereat: 20 When they go into the (red radius) tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the (solar golden) altar to minister, to (solar fire) burn offering made by fire unto the Lord: 21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations. 22 Moreover the (solar Shekinah) Lord spake unto (Ophiuchus) Moses, saying, 23 Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh (green Milky Way) five hundred shekels, and of sweet (red radius sticks of) cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels, 24 And of (red radius stick) cassia (cinnamon) five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: 25 And thou shalt make it an oil (solar golden) of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil. 26 And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony, 27 And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense, 28 And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot. 29 And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy. 30 And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office. 31 And thou shalt (red radius) speak unto the (Gemini) children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy (solar golden) anointing oil unto me throughout your generations. 32 Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you. 33 Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be (red radius) cut off from his (Gemini) people. 34 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight: 35 And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy: 36 And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy. 37 And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the Lord. 38 Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be (red radius) cut off from his (Gemini) people.
