The Bread of the Presence

The showbread (or shewbread), also translated as "Bread of the Presence," were twelve loaves of fine bread that were placed on a special table in the Holy Place of The Tabernacle. The twelve loaves were ceremonially symbolic of the twelve tribes of Israel, but ultimately represented, after the coming of the Messiah, spiritual Israel, just as the Tabernacle foreshadowed "a greater and more perfect tabernacle" (Hebrews 9:11). Beyond the Holy Place, where the showbread was placed, was the Most Holy Place where The Ark Of The Covenant was situated. In the Ark, along with the tables of stone on which were written The Ten Commandments, was a jar of manna. Christ himself explained the ultimate meaning of that bread:

"I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." (John 6:48-51 KJV)

nice proceeding..too bad is PAGAN

[stevesilvia]

martalog121, your rantings is becoming noise...If you have a question, just ask. If you want to condemn, look into a mirror...

[baldwalrus7]

Pagan in precisely what way? Which pagan religion taught something similar? Please enlighten me.

[stevesilvia]

martalog121 is a one person church where you just condemn, and never mind the truth. Thanks for speaking up baldwalrus7.

God is offended by receiving Him on "dirty" hands(ONLY priest can touch Him) in the Holy Eucharist!

Only accepted by Heaven form of receiving living Heart of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist of the Catholic Church is into our mouth and on our both knees!

God bless you and be brave

magic mushrooms are the bread of the presence----------

I am of the same mind.

Yes a great deal of sense very clear now.

Yes SPIES Infiltrators teaching things, contrary things. The HIrelings the false shepherds!

Like some Catholics (including politicians and church shepherds) who support ABORTION OBAMINATION !

What are we to do. Be peaceful as the dove but as cunning like a fox. I have seen a few things which are very disappointing and hurt!

PRAY, HOPE and DON'T WORRY,

Be brave, show Mercy Love and pray for them and ourselves!

[HolyCatholicApostoli]

John 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe and who he was that would betray him.

a direct reference to Judas "who he was that would betray him" Again this was to show that Jesus is God because he could read their hearts!

[HolyCatholicApostoli]

There are many factors which affect Faith. The apostles asked our Lord "increase our faith" we too need to ask our Lord "Lord increase our Faith" the father with the possessed son said " I believe, help my unbelief".Just like the parable of the sower and the seed and the different environments it was placed in. (Mt13) so to in the church, different people different reasons, different outcomes. Warm, Cold and Lukewarm, habit, fear of hell, conscience, routine, political convenience etc.

[HolyCatholicApostoli]

St John inspired by the Holy Spirit, and an eyewitness. The scene: a "great multitute" following our Lord (Jn6:2) because of the healings, then the miracle of the multiplication of bread and fishes. before this miracle Philip said :"But what are these among so many? (Jn6:9) A multitute of people (many) followed. The Doctrine of the Eucharist and "Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard; and who can hear it?" (Jn 6:60). If many left therefore only a few stayed.

[ChulaKirby]

I firmly believe Jesus is God and knew and still knows the future. People naturally think of St John Chap 13 when they read this line. But being a devil doesn't mean one day you will be possessed by a devil. I think St John was referring to something by using these words but something that was related to the story at hand.

[ChulaKirby]

"usually those who do not believe abstain from the Eucharist and prayer (St. Ignatius 90AD) leave and can attack the church"

Usually. But that is the key word. But not always. Was it the same way back in the days of St John and the early Church? Many left but not all?

[ChulaKirby]

And some of our politcians? I have more respect for those who refuse to believe and leave and attack. Cause they are acting outwardly what they believe inwardly. But there are those within who do not believe, hate, but pretend to believe, and all the while secretly attack. Like spies in a foreign country. These people are not outwardly honest. Jesus refered to them in a parable as weeds his enemy has planted. Am I making sense?
