Breastplate of righteousness The breastplate is described as: Medieval weaponry, the breastplate is the front portion of plate armour covering the torso. It has been an armour mainstay since ancient times and was one of the last pieces of functional armour to be used on the battlefield because it protected the vital organs without limiting mobility. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breastplate The protection was designed to cover/protect the heart and other organs within the rib cage. When we look at the concept of the breastplate from a spiritual point of view only God knows the heart (Heb. 4:12). Though David sinned and made grave mistakes, due to his attitude of repentance he was a man after God’s own heart (Acts 13:22), which is a huge credit or honour to King David. In the First year of this Sabbath cycle at Passover, we did the series on The Garments of the High Priest (No. CB61). We will now briefly look at which aspects of the High Priest’s garments seem to correspond to the armour of Eloah’s breastplate.
