Delight in Preaching God's Word Always- Isaiah 6:9 -13

  "Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed."  (Isaiah 6:10). Polycarp, who lived in the first generation after the apostles, was born in Smyrna and later became the bishop of the city. He was the last survivor of those who had talked with the eyewitnesses of Jesus. As a very old man, he was arrested, tried and condemned. When asked to renounce his faith in Christ, he replied, "Eighty-six years have I served him and he hath done me no wrong. How can I speak evil of my King who saved me? He was set ablaze.

The number 10 in the Bible is the number of maturity – spiritual maturity and responsibility attained through testing and trial. Spiritual maturity does not come by head-knowledge.

God could have used gold for the sockets but He chose to use silver. Why? Because silver is, as we saw, a symbol of redemption in the Bible. It is a symbol of the price our Lord Jesus paid to redeem us to Himself.

      The number two in the Bible is a symbol of unity in fellowship (Matt. 18:19). Each board had to rest upon two sockets; otherwise it would not be steady. The two tenons resting on the sockets of silver tell us that we have all been bought by the same redemption price, and are all equally precious to the Lord.
