"And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the Lord continually." The Spirit uses 'forever' continually as tags to use the fulness of Christ in the context. This quote must make the meaning clear. "For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect."(He.10:1) continually in both quotes hold Jesus Christ the High Priest of our profession within the frame of reference. He "hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father."(Re.1:6)
God made Aaron an associate so he ministered in the holy place as the high priest.This dual charge placing Moses leading the civil and Aaron the ecclesiastical nation is a memorial for us.(Ex.4:15-16) The blessing that would come upon through Aaron is compared in the Psalm 133:3. "As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore."(Ps.45:7). Aaron is compared to Jesus Christ the Rock and the oil of gladness poured, drips down the hem. "And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:/A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about."(28:33-35)
For Aaron the bell sounded warning." And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the Lord, and when he cometh out, that he die not." For us golden bell is our faith with works and it is in our daily lives. Pomegranate is a world in itself signifying the cloud of witnesses each with a seed in itself. We are surrounded by them.
