Mount Moriah - the temple mount

Very redemptive place throughout Scriptures:

• • 2 Chronicles 3:1 - plot of land where Solomon builds the temple

Question 4

What is the significance of the bread?

Answer 4

In the bread we have a picture of the bruised servant (Isaiah 53). Jesus is saying, I’m the real covenant sacrifice for sins.

Question 5

What is the significance of the cup?

Answer 5

Jesus is identifying his death as the fulfillment of the new covenant promises in Jeremiah. This is the cup of wrath (Isaiah 51:17) that Israel had been waiting to pour out on God’s enemies and instead God’s son takes it.
