A raised structure where sacrifices and offerings were made to God
lightbulbALT-ar — the place where you alter your relationship with God through sacrifice
Altars were the worship stations of the ancient world — built from stone or earth, used to burn sacrifices, pour out offerings, and mark encounters with God. Abraham, Jacob, Moses, and others built altars at key moments. The Tabernacle and Temple each had a bronze altar for burnt offerings and a gold altar for incense. In the NT, Jesus IS the altar and the sacrifice — the entire system converges on Him.
