Ancient Altars
Illustration of a Stone AltarIn the ancient world altars were raised platforms usually made of dirt, stones, carved rocks, or elaborate articles of furniture. In the Bible the people of Israel received forgiveness of sins by offering a sacrifice on the day of atonement.
The sacrifice was made in the outer court on the bronze altar, and the blood was brought into the holy place, and even the holy of holies, and sprinkled upon the mercy seat.
The Bible reveals that Cain and Abel brought offerings to the Lord, Cain brought the best of his good works, while Abel brought a sacrifice to receive atonement for his sins.The lesson is well learned that Cain's sacrifice was rejected while Abel's sacrifice of blood was accepted. But the Bible never mentions the use of an altar, in fact the first mention of an altar was with Noah after the flood.
The word altar in the Hebrew means "a place of slaughter", and was to be thought of as a fearful place because the one offering the sacrifice is the one who deserved to die, yet the substitute being offered would receive the punishment. The killing of an animal was an object lesson that would make one's skin crawl, because death is a horrible sight. This was God's purpose, that the sinner would realize that he was the one who deserve to die, and yet a merciful God provided a sacrifice, a substitute, to stand in and receive the punishment of death on behalf of the sinner. The wages of sin is death, and the sinner would temporarily receive forgiveness, year after year until the final debt was paid, when the son of God died on the altar of the cross as a substitute for every sinner who called upon the name of the Lord.
In ancient times animals were not always sacrificed upon the altar, but in a nearby place. The sacrifice was cut in pieces and the fire upon the altar would consume each piece of the sacrifice.
Throughout Israel's history offerings were made in the tabernacle, and in the Temple. It was always in the outer court, upon the bronze altar, the fire being lit by the Lord himself, that the sacrifices were continually made. Israelite families came with their offerings throughout the history of Israel, day after day, until the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D.
In the Old Testament the bronze altar stood outside of the tabernacle in the outer court. In fact every article of furniture in the holy place was made of gold, yet in the outer court the articles were made up of bronze, symbolizing the world, and that the world is under the judgment of God. The Bronze Altar was actually made of wood overlaid with Bronze, it was 7 1/2 feet square and over 4 feet high. It contained a bronze grating at the top of the altar, and next to the altar were the utensils, bronze pots, shovels to remove the ashes.

The altar in the outer courtyard of the Temple of Solomon was three times the size of the tabernacle altar, being 15 feet high and 30 feet square.
When Jesus died as the final sacrifice on the altar of the Cross, sacrifices and offerings became obsolete, and even the altar was done away with once and for all. The Bible says "we have an altar... let us then go to him" (Hebrews 13:10, 13).

When the Jewish Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D., 40 years after the crucifixion, as predicted by Jesus, the altar became obsolete for the Jews as well. How could any Jew make a sacrifice without an altar, and without a Temple. In fact the Temple has not been rebuilt to this day, and many Jews do not believe in the idea of receiving forgiveness without the shedding of blood. Therefore it is necessary to believe in the writings of the ancient prophets, who proclaimed that God would ultimately bring forgiveness even to the Jews, by believing in their God who sacrifice his son on the altar of the cross, once and for all.
