The Book Of Mysteries: The Final MysteryExemplo

DAY 3: The Mystery of the Tamid  

“Tamid was the name given to the sacrifices that were to be offered every day in the Temple,” said the teacher. “Each day, the offerings would begin with the sacrifice of the morning lamb and finish with that of the evening lamb.”

“Was there a specific ritual to the offering of the Tamid?”

“The morning lamb would be offered up at the third hour of the day…which is what time?”

“Nine in the morning, the same hour Messiah was crucified.”

“So as the morning lamb was slain on the altar, the Lamb of God was lifted up on the altar of the cross.”

“And the evening lamb,” I said, “at the ninth hour, the same hour Messiah died on the cross.”

“So the sacrifice of Messiah began with the offering of the morning lamb and ended with the offering of the evening lamb. The Lamb of God,” said the teacher, “is all in all, covering every moment, every need, every sin, every problem, and every answer. He is the Tamid which means continual, daily, perpetual, always, and forever.”

The Mission: Meditate on the fact that Messiah is your Tamid—the covering for every moment of your life—always, and forever. Live accordingly.
