No Israelite, however, was permitted to touch it unless he belonged to the seed of Aaron; and even they were not permitted to approach the altar till they had first washed their hands and feet in the Brazen Sea.
The Altar of Burnt-Offering prefigured the Messiah’s Body in sacrificial manifestation.
The altar was overlaid with plates of brass. These plates represented “the flesh of sin” purified by fiery-trial.
The Brazen Altar, which was four-square, had four Horns of Brass, one at each corner; and in sacrifice the blood was applied to the Horns by the Priest’s fingers; and the rest was. all poured beside the bottom of the altar (Exod. 29:12). These Horns represent the same things as the Four Cherubims, the Four Carpenters, and the Four Living Ones, of Ezekiel, Zechariah, and John; only in the Brazen State which precedes the Golden Olahm, or Millennium. As Horns of Brass, they “execute the judgment written” as a consuming fire; for brass and offering by fire are the association of things in the type.
The Horns of the Brazen and Golden Altars are His Eternal Spirit’s strong ones,......
The saints, then, are the brazen arms and feet of the Man of the One Spirit, who have all passed through the fire, and the water of separation, and been consecrated by the blood of the covenant; and “are partakers with the Altar,” even Jesus (1 Cor. 9:13; 10:18; Heb. 13:10, 12); and those of them who have been slain, have been poured out “beside the bottom,” or “under the altar,” from whence the cry ascends to the Father, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell upon the earth?” (Rev. 6:10; 11:1).
