  3. Old Testament Declares a Pattern for Work of God’s People • Exodus 25:9,40 • Pattern – “structure; by implication, a model, resemblance… similitude” • Numbers 8:4 • Pattern – “a view (the act of seeing); appearance, visage, vision”

  4. Noah Building the ArkGenesis 6:13-16 • Gopher Wood – Genesis 6:14 • Rooms – Genesis 6:14 • Pitch in & out – Genesis 6:14 • Exact Measurements – Genesis 6:15 • Single Window/ Three Story – Genesis 6:16

  5. Noah Building the ArkGenesis 6:13-16 • Instructions Exact, Clear & Constituted a Pattern for Noah to Use in Building the Ark • What was the result? • Genesis 6:22 “Thus Noah did; according to ALL that God commanded him, so he did.”

  6. Exodus Chapter 25 • Exodus 25:9,40 Pattern • Exodus 25:10-22 Ark of the Covenant • Exodus 25:23 Table, Shewbread, Candlesticks, & utensils

  7. Joshua Chapter Six March around city wall once a day for six days. Seven priests carry the ark On day seven, the men & priests march around the city seven times, blow long blast on ram’s horns People did ALL of these things

  8. Joshua Chapter Six What Happened? The Walls Fell FLAT! Joshua 6:20 “when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.”

  9. New Testament Teaches a Pattern for The People of God • Greek word tupos • “A prototype, pattern. Particularly of a pattern or model after which something is to be made.” • “A type as a model of some reality which was yet to appear…”

  10. English Language Usage • “Example”- • 1 Corinthians 10:6,11 • Philippians 3:17 • 1 Thessalonians 1:7 • 2 Thessalonians 3:9 • 1 Timothy 4:12 • 1 Peter 5:3

  11. English Language Usage • “Type” (Figure – KJV)- • Romans 5:14 • “Form”- • Romans 6:17 • “Pattern”- • Titus 2:7 • Hebrews 8:5 • Acts 7:44

  12. Use of Hupodeigma in NT • “A sign suggestive of anything, delineation of a thing, representation, figure, copy 2) an example: for imitation 2a) of the thing to be imitated 2b) for a warning, of a thing to be shunned.”

  13. Use of Hupodeigma in NT • “Example”- • John 13:15 • Hebrews 4:11 • Hebrews 8:5 (KJV Example) • James 5:10 • 2 Peter 2:6 • “Copies”- • Hebrews 9:23

  14. Other NT Passages Teach There is a Pattern • Matthew 28:18-20 • Apostles Commanded to teach what Jesus taught them & those disciples in turn would do likewise • 2 Timothy 2:2 • There were TRUTHS that Paul had taught to Timothy which he was required to pass on to others

  15. Other NT Passages Teach There is a Pattern • Christians are NOT to look to the words of Men over the words delivered from God • 1 Corinthians 4:6 • Christians will be judged by the words of Christ • John 12:48 • IF the words of Christ will judge, then there are particulars that are binding

  16. Other NT Passages Teach There is a Pattern • Christians are not to go beyond or change the truth of God’s Word -- 2 John 9-11 • IF there is no pattern, there is no doctrine to NOT abide in! • Revelation 22:18,19 • IF no pattern, how could we be commanded to not ADD or TAKE away from the Word?

  17. Consequences of Not Continuing in the Pattern • Necessary for Faithful Brethren to Cut Ties of Fellowship with Erring Brother – Romans 16:17 • Cuts us off from blessings of God- Galatians 1:6-9

  18. This Teaches: • 1. Paul taught a pattern for their adherence • 2. Strict adherence was necessary for Christians to receive the continued blessings of God • 3. Abandonment of the pattern meant loss of salvation

  19. Consequences of Not Continuing in the Pattern • Causes men to be deceived by false doctrine- Ephesians 4:14,15 • 1) Potential of being deceived by false doctrine, implies a true pattern for religion • 2) Deceived when abandon God’s pattern • 3) Continuing in the truth guarantees being pleasing to Christ

  20. What Have We Learned? • There was a Pattern for God’s people under the Old Law • There is a pattern for God’s people today. • We are not pleasing to God today if we stray from the pattern given in the New Testament for the church of Our Lord.

  21. 1 Timothy 4:16 • 16 Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.”
