Just as the Altar represents the Almighty,

The offering also represents the offering-giver.

According to Jesus, the Altar is greater than the gold and offerings that are deposited there because the Altar is what sanctifies them.

To sanctify means to make holy, set apart, consecrate or dedicate to the Lord.

How would the Altar be able to sanctify if it did not represent God Himself?

The priest does not stand between the Altar and the offering (Matthew 23.17,19).

This means that between God (Altar) and the offering-giver (offering) there is no intermediary.

The offering-giver has personal and direct access to the Throne of the Almighty.

Therefore,

Those who want to save their soul from hell;

Those who want to ensure their salvation;

And want to dwell in the secret place of the Most High;

And abide under the shadow of the Almighty…

There is only one way:

Deposit your entire life on the Altar.

Confirm:

“He who dwells (offering-giver) in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty (Altar). I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.” Psalm 91.1-2
