Heb 8:5 Who serve unto the example ( hupodeigma) and shadow (skia) of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern (5179/ tupos) shewed ( deiknuo) to thee in the mount
Pattern: Is the Greek word “tupos.”
Tupos is an impression, mark or imprint caused by a blow of an instrument. It is the chiseling of a statue or figurine.
Tupos, therefore, is the imprint or mark of a prototype, a model, blueprint, an example, an archetype, a foreshadow and a forerunner of an original.
All flawless, unmarred and uncorrupted originals things which God created for the good of humanity and the universe, dwell safely with Him locked in heavenly places. These originals are revealed by God to us in our spirits as tupos.
Tupos is the Strong’s word # 5179.
The Strong’s Concordance is the second most important book after the Bible. It is very cheap to get and easy to use.
I am of the opinion that Christians should have a fundamental knowledge of NT Greek. It’s the revelation of the truth which sets us free. Having a basic knowledge of NT Greek exponentially increases revelation knowledge and subsequent freedom.
Php 3:17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample <5179>.
1Ti 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example <5179> of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Tit 2:7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern <5179> of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
Paul uses the word tupos for himself as an example, a blueprint, a forerunner or model of the Christian life which is to be followed, and urges other believers to do the same.
Will you be a tupos of the Christ today?
Heb 8:5 Who serve unto the example ( hupodeigma) and shadow (skia) of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern (5179/ tupos) shewed ( deiknuo) to thee in the mount
When Moses was to build the tabernacle, God cautioned him to accurately construct it in accordance to the tupos; the specific pattern, blueprint or model of the unflawed heavenly originals that He would reveal to him in the Spirit.
The Lord has a specific and unique tupos for everything which He does. This is because God wants to manifest His unflawed heavenly originals in glory upon the earth.
The tupos of God are revealed to us in the Spirit through revelation knowledge.
We cannot access the tupos of God’s with our minds. This is why conducting our lives in the Spirit is the most vital thing
Every tupos of God is hid in mysteries within the believer. Mysteries are only accessed through revelation knowledge. They cannot be accessed through our physical senses. This is why praying for the revelation knowledge of the tupos is the most important thing .
The closer we work and reproduce the tupos of God’s heavenly originals the greater will be our anointing. The further from tupos, the less will be the anointing.
This problem with most churches is that they do not function according to the tupos or blueprints which God has for their local congregations.
People put out their own agendas and programs. Much effort goes into them, but little fruit is produced, because they are not building according to the heavenly tupos.
Moses was the apostle of the tupos par excellence.
Every bit of building of the desert tabernacle was done according to the tupos of God.
From Exodus 25 through Exodus 30 we have a list the many tupos which God gave to Moses through revelation knowledge.
The greatness of Moses was that he meticulously reproduced every heavenly tupos upon the earthy desert tabernacle.
Today, God is looking for those who will minister, build, and reproduce the heavenly tupos here on earth, in everything they do.
Heb 8:5 Who serve unto the example ( hupodeigma) and shadow (skia) of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern (5179/ tupos) shewed ( deiknuo) to thee in the mount
The word “admonished” is “divine instruction according to revelation.” This serves as an exhortation for us to cautiously build all step by step in conformity with the tupos of God.
Every earthly ministry or activity is as “an example and shadow of heavenly things.”
An “example” is the compound hupodeigma.
Hupo describes something as being beneath, a foundation, or something which supports.
Deigma is something that is so clear that it can be clearly seen and used for proof. Thus the hupodeigma, or example, will always give us a foundation of revelation knowledge that it is so plain that it will be proof of what God is saying and desires for us to do. The hupodeigma is the evident foundation of proof of the tupos of God’s flawless originals locked in heavenly places.
The brilliancy and the glory of the tupos revealed to us by the hupodeigma create a shadow, a skias, in our spirit through revelation knowledge.
The sole purpose of the Christian is to get the revelation of the tupos in hupodeigma and skias and reproduce it as accurately as possible on earth.
Again, this was the exceeding importance of Moses.
The danger today is that most Christian’s do not value the tupos.
The church has forfeited the tupos of God to embrace social and cultural issues. God is only obligated to fully bless what is done according to His tupos. Social and cultural issues are important, but even all of them, must be tackled by the tupos of God.
