Exodus 30:1-10

Listen to Exodus 30:1-10
1 facies quoque altare in adolendum thymiama de lignis setthim
2 habens cubitum longitudinis et alterum latitudinis id est quadrangulum et duos cubitos in altitudine cornua ex ipso procedent
3 vestiesque illud auro purissimo tam craticulam eius quam parietes per circuitum et cornua faciesque ei coronam aureolam per gyrum
4 et duos anulos aureos sub corona per singula latera ut mittantur in eos vectes et altare portetur
5 ipsos quoque vectes facies de lignis setthim et inaurabis
6 ponesque altare contra velum quod ante arcam pendet testimonii coram propitiatorio quo tegitur testimonium ubi loquar tibi
7 et adolebit incensum super eo Aaron suave fraglans mane quando conponet lucernas incendet illud
8 et quando conlocat eas ad vesperum uret thymiama sempiternum coram Domino in generationes vestras
9 non offeretis super eo thymiama conpositionis alterius nec oblationem et victimam nec liba libabitis
10 et deprecabitur Aaron super cornua eius semel per annum in sanguine quod oblatum est pro peccato et placabit super eo in generationibus vestris sanctum sanctorum erit Domino

Incense and Intimacy: The Way Into Glory
Incense and Intimacy: The Way Into Glory
Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas

In this powerful episode of First Love, Dr. Robyn Kassas and Dr. Nathan Kassas guide us deeper into the Tabernacle journey, moving from illumination to intimacy. After encountering the Golden Lampstand and the Holy Spirit’s light, we now stand before the Altar of Incense—the final place of alignment before the veil. Here, prayer is no longer urgency-driven but devotion-refined. Incense represents transformed desire: praise and worship rising continually as a sweet fragrance before God, preparing the heart to enter His glory.The Altar of Incense reveals that intimacy with God requires order, balance, and surrender. We cannot step into the Holy of Holies carrying the scent of the world; our inner life must be aligned to “smell like Jesus.” Incense prayer bypasses panic, purifies motivation, and draws us into heart-level communion, where worship becomes who we are—not just what we do.Dr. Robyn and Dr. Nathan call us to return to our first love—yet not to remain immature there. We are invited to grow from the passion of first love into the stability, depth, and devotion of mature love, where intimacy sustains us and glory transforms us.
