For this study, I want to take a look at Reve 1:10, 12, 13. [I do not dwell on when Revelation was visioned or written, but what it would symbolize to Hebrew Jews/Israelites of today if they were to read it.]
These verses have so much significance concerning the OT types and shadows. This is from my own personal studies, dating back to 2003.
For my 1st post, I would like to give a general outline surrounding this type of "holy place" John is in, then elaborate more on this in following posts. I welcome input from other Christians on this.
Blessings, Steve
Revelation 1:
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day, and I heard behind<3694> me a loud Voice, as of a trumpet,
12 Then I turned<1994> to see the Voice that spoke with me. And having turned<1994> I saw seven golden Lampstands<3087>,
13 and in the midst of the seven Lampstands [One] like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the paps with a golden band.
I can vision John standing inside a symbolic Tabernacle/Sanctuary on Patmos. [John would probably be a Hebrew Jew and perhaps even of a priestly class].
He then hears a Voice BEHIND him.
He TURNS and sees Jesus in midst of lamp-stands. ["turn" can also mean convert]
Symbolically, [this is just my view],
John would have been facing the OC Table of Showbread. ..North.
The Golden Altar and inner curtain would have been on his left...West
Then he turns and faces Jesus and the lamp-stands...South
The outer veil/entrance would then be on his left .....East [facing toward the Mount of Olives from Herod's 1st century Temple]
In essence, John is first facing the Table of the OC Table of Show-bread and when he turns, he sees the NC "Living Bread", Jesus, as testified of Jesus by John in chapt 6:
John 6:
35 And Jesus said to them, “I Am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.
48 I Am the Bread of Life.
51 I Am the Living Bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this Bread, he will live forever. And this Bread, which I will give for the Life of the World, is My flesh.”

A site I had bookmarked on the OT Camp and Tabernacle.
The Camp--The Gate--
The Court--The Brazen Altar--The Laver--
The Tabernacle--The First Veil--The Table--The Lampstand/Menorah--The Golden Altar--
The Second Veil---The Mercy Seat and Ark.................
The Significance of These and Their Antitypes.
