Seven Elements of the Tabernacle Temple

From the wilderness of Sinai to the vision of John on the Isle of Patmos, Scripture tells one continuous story: God’s desire to dwell among His people.

In Exodus, He said, “Have them make a sanctuary for Me, and I will dwell among them.” (Exodus 25:8). Centuries later, Revelation reveals that same promise fulfilled in fullness — “the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd… and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” (Revelation 7:17).

This study walks through the seven sacred elements of the Tabernacle — from the Brazen Altar to the Holy of Holies — showing how each stage foreshadows our spiritual journey toward the New Jerusalem. Every piece of furniture, every ritual, and every ordinance was not just an ancient symbol, but a living prophecy pointing to Yeshua the Messiah — the true High Priest who leads us into God’s eternal presence.

Here we’ll see how the tabernacle pattern mirrors heaven itself, revealing how we are called as priests to serve before His throne — not only in the life to come, but even now, day and night, in spirit and in truth.

Scripture Study:
5 Therefore, “they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence. 16 ‘Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst.  The sun will not beat down on them,’ nor any scorching heat. 17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’” Rev 7:15-17

...have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them. 9 Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you. Exodus 25:1-9

#1 - The Brazen Altar - Burnt Offerings (LIFE - PURITY) 

The altar of sacrifice (bronze altar) was within the court, facing the entrance.  Altar the souls of those who had been slain - Exodus 27; Exodus 30; Exodus 31:8-10; Rev 6:9-11;

#2 - Laver (ETERNAL LIFE - PREPARATION)

17 Then the Lord said to Moses, 18 “Make a bronze basin, with its bronze stand, for washing. Place it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it. 19 Aaron and his sons are to wash their hands and feet with water from it. 20 Whenever they enter the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water so that they will not die.  Also, when they approach the altar to minister by presenting a food offering to the Lord, 21 they shall wash their hands and feet so that they will not die. This is to be a lasting ordinance for Aaron and his descendants for the generations to come.”  Exodus 30:17-21

#3 - The Table (MACRO PURPOSE) 

And make its plates and dishes of pure gold, as well as its pitchers and bowls for the pouring out of offerings (Ex 25:29 - 30) Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it (Re 2:17)

#4 - The ShewBread (MICRO PURPOSE)  

Put the bread of the Presence on this table to be before me at all times.  Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life (25:30, Re 6:9-11, Re 21:27).  

Matthew 12:4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Showbread

#5 - The Lampstand/Menorah (REV 2 AND 3 - CONSECRATION)

In the tent of meeting, outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law, Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps burning before the Lord from evening till morning. This is to be a lasting ordinance among the Israelites for the generations to come (Ex 27:21) The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches (Re 1:20)


#6 - Golden Altar Incense (DISCIPLESHIP - WORSHIP) 

34 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Take fragrant spices —gum resin, onycha and galbanum—and pure frankincense, all in equal amounts, 35 and make a fragrant blend of incense, the work of a perfumer. It is to be salted and pure and sacred. 36 Grind some of it to powder and place it in front of the ark of the covenant law in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be most holy to you. 37 Do not make any incense with this formula for yourselves; consider it holy to the Lord. 38 Whoever makes incense like it to enjoy its fragrance must be cut off from their people.” (Ex 30:34-38)

Four horns of the golden altar/incense  (prayer/worship)

The golden altar of incense, which is not to be confused with the brazen altar, sat in front of the curtain that separated the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies. This altar was smaller than the brazen altar. It was a square with each side measuring 1.5 feet and was 3 feet high. It was made of acacia wood and overlaid with pure gold. Four horns protruded from the four corners of the altar.  God commanded the priests to burn incense on the golden altar every morning and evening, the same time that the daily burnt offerings were made. The incense was to be left burning continually throughout the day and night as a pleasing aroma to the Lord. It was made of an equal part of four precious spices (stacte, onycha, galbanum and frankincense) and was considered holy. God commanded the Israelites not to use the same formula outside the tabernacle to make perfume for their own consumption; otherwise, they were to be cut off from their people (Exodus 30:34-38).

Worshipers - Exodus 33:7-11; Rev 11:1;

7 Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the camp some distance away, calling it the “tent of meeting.” Anyone inquiring of the Lord would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp. 8 And whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose and stood at the entrances to their tents, watching Moses until he entered the tent. 9 As Moses went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and stay at the entrance, while the Lord spoke with Moses.  Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshiped, each at the entrance to their tent. 11 The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.

21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”  John 4:21-23

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. 10 They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” 11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been. Rev 6:9-11

5 Therefore, “they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence. 16 ‘Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst.  The sun will not beat down on them,’ nor any scorching heat. 17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’” Rev 7:15-17

3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. 4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand. 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake. Rev 8:3

I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, “Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers"  Rev 11: 1

#7 - The Holy of Holies (HAVILAH - THE HOLY CITY THE NEW JERUSALEM)


The Tabernacle itself was located at the western part of the court. The Tabernacle was divided by a veil or hanging curtain into two chambers.  The first chamber was called the Holy Place, it contained the Table, Lampstand, and Altar of Incense. Only priests were allowed into this section.  The High Priest the Holy of Holies only once a year on the Day of Atonement.  The second chamber was called the Holy of Holies, it contained the Ark of the Covenant Matt 27:51-53, Exodus 2:9-10, Exodus 25.

City of my God, the New Jerusalem

I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.  The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.  Revelation 21:22-27

For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land-a land with streams and pools of water, with springs flowing in the valleys and hills; a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey;

Song Of Solomon 4:13 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates with choice fruits, with henna and nard,

Song Of Solomon 7:12 Let us go early to the vineyards to see if the vines have budded, if their blossoms have opened, and if the pomegranates are in bloom- there I will give you my love.

Song Of Solomon 8:2 I would lead you and bring you to my mother's house- she who has taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the nectar of my pomegranates.

Life after Death: Overview and Structure

Once, on being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” 

Luke 17:20-21

WARNING
Please note the following information is of little spiritual value to believers seeking eternal life.  This article is an overview of Gods order and structure both today and forever more.  These facts will not save souls and should only be considered by believers who understand the Seven Spirits of the Lord and practice them daily.

Overview and Structure  

8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:8-9;

Retention of the being remains in tact.  This is why suicide is not an escape of responsibility.  The human consciousness (the person in the body) transfers from one location to another after death.  Therefore death is not a terminal point, rather it is a gate to separate the souls of the elect from everyone else.  The souls of the elect are elevated to the altar of heaven while the rest both the righteous and unrighteous to judgement.  In any case the heavens and the person who dies does not perceive death as a being, rather a moment in life.  In heaven death is a transaction or a gate from one form of being to another.  Here on earth death should be perceived as a moment of sleeping.   Matt 17:3; 1 Samuel 28; Mark 5:38-42; Mark 9:2-8; Mark 12:26-27; Luke 8:55; Luke 20:38; Luke 23:46; 1 Thessalonians 4:13; 1 Corinthians 15:29-34;

The natural body, the body our soul dwells within today on earth is the seed of the spiritual body to come.  Therefore each day we live to build a seed suitable for the service of Christ Jesus in the days to come.  The seed we build today will be planted to raise the crop of our spiritual bodies when we die.  1 Corinthians 15: 35-50; 2 Cor 5:1-6

When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven  Mark 12:25; Luke 20:34-40; Matthew 22:23-33;

Birth is a by product of inescapable purpose  Mark 14:21

The spirit and the soul are one in the same.  However the soul is the detail of how ones spirit became to be.  The relationship between the soul and spirit are expressed much like math, were there are always two sides of an equation.  Take the equation 2 x 2 = 4.  Both sides of the equation are the spirit.  However the left side explains how the spirit became, therefore it is the soul.  In either case the usage of the word spirit or soul to define ones being is correct.  The objective of the soul should be to align herself with the Holy Spirit.  Therefore the soul is the Ark and the Holy Spirit of God, yes the word of Christ is her covenant.  Genesis 2:7; Luke 8:55; Luke 23:46; Matthew 10:28

Resurrection Order:

1) First Fruits  the first fruits are the 144,000 listed in the book of Revelations are the chosen first male children of the twelve tribes of Israel. ex 1:15 - 22;ex 13:11 - 16; re 7:3 - 9; re 14: 1 - 5

2) The Elect  when he comes, those who belong to him the Elect will be resurrected Rev 6:9 - rev 7

3) The First Resurrection of the living dead   the return of the souls of the Elect who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus, they came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.  Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years  Rev 20:4-6

4) The Second Resurrection of the sleeping dead  And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened.  Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 

5) Second Death 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

Possible Attributes of a Spiritual Body  
30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight.   Luke 24:30-43

4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep 1 Corinthians 15:4-5

From these scripture we can conclude that a human body with flesh and bone, that eats and drinks can dwell on earth and in heaven.  It is possible for a dead body to be resurrected, surly within 1 - 4 days.  This we know from the three examples scripture give us.  The first being the little girl who died for one day, Jesus three, and Lazarus four.  We can conclude that all mankind for all eternity have and will always require the need to consume earthly substance to live.  Luke 24:36-5, Mark 5:21-42, John 11:1-45

Prophecy Related to the Resurrection of the Soul

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 

At least the following four criteria must proceed to fulfill the 1 Thessalonian prophecy.  This sequence will be repeated twice in the future.  The first event presented in (a) Rev 6:12 - Rev 7 and again in (b) Rev 20  as listed below:

1) the Lord will appear and be visible from heaven

     (a) The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up

     (b) They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years

2) call of an arc archangel with trumpet (both events are within the angels trumpet)

     (a) angel coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God called out in a loud voice

     (b) I saw an angel coming down out of heaven

3) the dead in Christ will appear

     (a) seal 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel and great multitude

     (b) souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus, they came to life  

          and reigned with Christ a thousand years and after the thousand years I saw the dead, great and

          small, standing before the throne, and books were opened

4) the remaining saints on earth will rise to meet in the air

     (a) every nation, tribe, people and language

     (b) a new heaven and a new earth

1 Corinthians 15: 23-28 

The following six criteria will proceed to fulfill the 1 Corinthians prophecy (the scriptures references are the fulfillment of each criteria):

1) Christ must be the first to die and be resurrected from the dead Mt 28, Mk 16, Lk 24, Jn 20

2) the first fruits are the 144,000 listed in the book of Revelations are the chosen first male children of the twelve tribes of Israel. ex 1:15 - 22;ex 13:11 - 16; re 7:3 - 9; re 14: 1 - 5

3) when he comes, those who belong to him the Elect will be resurrected Rev 6:9 - rev 7

4) the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. Rev 20:8-10

5) The last enemy to be destroyed is death Rev 20:13-15

6) For he “has put everything under his feet.” When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all. Rev 21:1-7

The Story of Adam and Eve

Adam - the sea the being of all mankind

Eve - the two part kingdom with selected souls of Adam slated for one of two kingdoms - Either the bride of Christ or the bride of the Anti Christ (the Beast).  The bride of Christ is the Holy City - The New Jerusalem.  The bride of the Anti Christ is Babylon the great the Mother of Prostitutes and of the Abominations of the Earth. 

Ge 2:15; Rev 17; Rev 21

Weeping and Gnashing of teeth

Many hear the call of Christ, however only a few will enter the great kingdom of heaven.  Their will be great sadness and anger in the two courts outside the gates of The New Jerusalem the Holy City.    

Matthew 8:12; Matt 13:42; Matt 13:50; Matthew 22:1-14; Matt 24:51; Matt 25:30; Luke 13:28

Death and Hades 

Death and Hades is the name of a program designated for those that die and are slated for the second death.  Hades is not the second death but the holding place of those routed for the second death that is located in the belly of the Abyss.   As the people of the Altar remain conscious so do those held in Hades.  The people of the Altar and those of Hades will be close enough to communicate with each other, but gathered in such away that they will not be able to cross over to other zone.  Hades is a place of torment, agony by fire, eternal thirst.
Luke 16:19-31; ge 19:27-28; Matthew 11:20-24; Rev 1:18; Rev 6:7-8; Rev 20:11-15;

Book of Life vs. Tree of Life  

All people currently living on earth are written in the Book of Life.  At the very least all people will make their dwelling place upon the new earth to come and will be citizens of the Holy City.  All people will retain this position so long as their behavior does not violate the following laws stated by King Jesus in Rev 21:8:

The cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars — they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.

King Jesus also mandates for those that dwell upon the earth in Anno Domini Apollyon Exterminatore Rev 14:9-11:

“If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”

The Tree of Life will only be found within the gates of the The book of life is the right to eat of the Tree of Life which is located in Havilah.  Havilah is the virgin promised land given to us in Genesis that will be the ground for the foundations of the New Jerusalem.  Their is only one alternative outside of the Book of Life and that is in the wrath of God - The Second Death.

Book of life - Exod 32:32-33, Deut 29:20, Dan 12:1, Mal 3:16, Rev 3:5, Revelation 20:12-15; Revelation 21:27;

Tree of Life - Gen 2:9, Gen 3:22-24; Prov 3:18; Prov 11:30; Proverbs 13:12; Proverbs 15:4; Rev 2:7; Revelation 22:2-19;

Abyss

Satans workspace the place of Evil Destruction 

Abaddon / Apollyon is king of the Abyss.  The Abyss is the door between ever consuming dark kingdom of Abaddon / Apollyon the destroyer and earth.  The door from earth leads to a deep shaft to the Lake of Burning Sulfur in its belly.  Anything that ever comes out of the Abyss always returns back to the Abyss.  The Abyss is the creation and storage of evil.  The Abyss is the anti Heaven.  
Luke 8:30-31; Rev 9:1-11; Ex 10:1-15; Revelation 17:8; Rev 14:9-11; Rev 20:1-3   

The Second Death
Babylon's Hell the Lake of Burning Sulfur the Everlasting Wrath of God 

The everlasting torment of no return.  Once one enters hell he can never come back.  A place reserved for the uncharitable/stingy; those that receive the mark of the beast; cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, perversion, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars.  Hell is the The Second Death the lake of burning sulfur located in the belly of the Abyss.
Rev 2:11; Rev 14:9-14; Rev 19:19-21; Matt 25:41-43; Rev 20:7-15; Rev 21:8; Matthew 13:24-29; Matthew 13:36-42;  Matthew 13:47-52; Mark 7:20-23; Mark 9:42-50; 1 Thessalonians 5:9-11; Gen 18:20, Gen 19:24, 2Pet 2:6, Jude 1:7; Matt 5:22; Matt 5:29-30; Mark 9:43; James 3:6

The Second Resurrection   

Adam The Sea of Sleeping Dogs

The Sea represents the great majority of mankind who are not the Elect nor are they so evil to deserve the eternal wrath of the Second Death.   These souls dwell upon the new earth outside the gates of The Holy City.

The First Resurrection       

Holy City of the Elect The New Jerusalem  

The Elect are those that remain awake after death and are held at the Altar.  All of these Elect will be tested by the mark of the beast and shall inherit their ultimate victory upon there death as a result of their resistance.  The New Jerusalem will be the dwelling place of God her bride the Lamb Christ Jesus the King.  This  Holy City will be the seat of the everlasting kingdom over the new earth.  The Holy City is the bride of Christ and the ultimate victory of the Saints.  Blessed and holy are those that are dressed in white for they shall dwell within her gates.  Outside are the dogs and the rest of those that practice evil.

Heaven  

Gods workspace the place of Holy Construction    

Heaven is a harbor for the pending will of God and his servants.  No evil is allowed into the gates heaven, nor any servant turned evil remain in heaven.  Heaven has a shore to earth and the two of them have a high degree of activity between them.  It is important to note that Heaven is a Tabernacle meaning it is a seed of something to come.  Heaven is the birth place of the bride of Christ which is the New Jerusalem the Holy City to come.  Heaven is a place of creation and all things that dwell within heaven are either waiting for a new earth or are helping to build that new earth.

The Angel Gabriel "man of God"

1 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Rev 1:1-2

6 The angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.”7 “Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.”8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. 9 But he said to me, “Don’t do that!
I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!” Rev 22:6-9

20 While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel and making my request to the Lord my God for his holy hill— 21 while I was still in prayer, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice. 22 He instructed me and said to me, “Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and understanding. 23 As soon as you began to pray, a word went out, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed. Therefore, consider the word and understand the vision: Dan 9:20-23

5 I looked up and there before me was a man dressed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist. 6 His body was like topaz, his face like lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude. Dan 10:5-6

No strength was left in me; my face grew deathly pale, and I was powerless. 9 I heard the words he said, and when I heard them I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground. 10 Suddenly, a hand touched me and raised me to my hands and knees. 11 He said to me, “Daniel, you are a man treasured by God. Understand the words that I’m saying to you. Stand on your feet, for I have now been sent to you.” After he said this to me, I stood trembling.  12 “Don’t be afraid, Daniel,” he said to me, “for from the first day that you purposed to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your prayers were heard. I have come because of your prayers....

 15 While he was saying these words to me, I turned my face toward the ground and was speechless. 16 Suddenly one with human likeness touched my lips. I opened my mouth and said to the one standing in front of me, “My lord, because of the vision, anguish overwhelms me and I am powerless. 17 How can someone like me, your servant, speak with someone like you, my lord? Now I have no strength, and there is no breath in me.”18 Then the one with human likeness touched me again and strengthened me. 19 He said, “Don’t be afraid, you who are treasured by God. Peace to you; be very strong!”As he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”  Dan 8: 8-19

13 But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard...  Luke 1:13

19 The angel said to him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. 20 And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.”  Luke 1:19-20

28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” Luke 1:28

30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. Luke 1:30

18 Zechariah asked the angel, “How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.”  34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”  Luke 1:18,34
