BRAGADAYJAH 236

Instructions for the Ark of the Covenant and for the mercy seat are complete; so now the Lord turns to the Table of showbread.
            “Thou shall also make a table of acacia wood, two cubits long, one cubit wide and one and a half cubits high.”  The table was to be overlaid with gold and have a golden rim around it; the table was to have a border around it a handbreadth in width, with a golden edge around the border.
            In addition the table was to have four rings of gold, and the rings placed on the four corners corresponding with the four legs thereof; and over against the border the rings were to be placed for fitted staves to bear the table.
            The instructions for the staves were that they were to be made of acacia wood, overlaid with gold, that they may be used to carry the table,
            Upon the table were to be various utensils, dishes, spoons, bowls, and covers, all made of pure gold; and upon the table was to be showbread, which should always be placed there.        
            The showbread was a type of Christ; the bread of God.  It also symbolized that manna, angel food, which came down from heaven. It also typified that bread of heaven, the germ of wheat ground in the mill of suffering, and brought in to the fire of judgment.
            So the showbread was a perpetual symbol of the Christ, the bread of life, who was to come down from heaven. More
