1 | Old Testament why burn incense | Ex 30:1 | cloud9799 | 20833 | ||
I am in a Bible study group and we are studying the life of Christ. This is not a question asked in the study group but one I need to know . I am not new to the Bible stories but I cant recall why in the Old Testament when they pray in the temple do they burn incense? I know it is mentioned over a hundred times, about burning incense while praying. I also know that this is an aroma pleasing to God and I believe he has even given to some the ingredients for incense. I just cant find out why this is accepted thing to do...I would appreciate any help on this. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide...cloud9799 | ||||||
2 | Old Testament why burn incense | Ex 30:1 | Hank | 20834 | ||
Cloud 9799, the burning of incense was the accepted thing for the Israelites to do because God ordained it and in fact gave detailed instructions for building the altar of incense. (See Exodus 30.) The fragrant aroma of incense symbolized the prayers of God's people. (See Psalm 14:2; Luke 1:10 and Rev.5:8.) The burning of incense is still observed today by certain religious faiths. --Hank | ||||||
