Thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: … and thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee. And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: … and when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations.1 |
[Jesus] is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.2 – The smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.3 |
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.4 |
Pray without ceasing.5 |
