When I read about all the regulations and offerings the Israelites made in the Temple up until Jesus’ death and the Temple’s destruction, I can’t help but think the incense burning symbolizes our prayers going up to God. How’s your prayer life? Is it offered daily? Do your prayers flow up to God?
3 Then another angel with a gold incense burner came and stood at the altar. And a great amount of incense was given to him to mix with the prayers of God’s people as an offering on the gold altar before the throne. 4 The smoke of the incense, mixed with the prayers of God’s holy people, ascended up to God from the altar where the angel had poured them out.
