In this sermon, From The Altar To The Throne Of Power, We discover it all starts at the altar. Sacrifice and prayer. Then there was a laver of water to wash in, and a golden altar of incense. The altar of incense was positioned just before the veil behind which was the ark of the covenant. It represents the throne of God. As we read prayers of the saints, we are gone beyond the altar, and further into the tabernacle to the very threshold of the MOST HOLY PLACE.
