Philippians 3:3 For we are the circumcision, the ones who serve by the Spirit of God and boast in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh. (RcV Bible)
The tunic of fine woven linen signifies the covering of Christ as our perfect righteousness in a humanity that has been dealt with (Revelation 19:8); the turban of fine linen signifies Christ as the glory of perfect righteousness and Christ as our boast (Philippians 3:3; Romans 5:2; 1 Corinthians 1:31); the girding sash as the work of an embroiderer signifies the strengthening by the Spirit’s constituting work (Ephesians 3:16); these three pieces of the priestly garments, with the linen trousers (Exodus 28:42), all signify Christ as righteousness to cover the entire fallen being of the priests (Luke 15:22; 1 Corinthians 1:30) that they might be preserved in life and kept away from death (Exodus 28:43). (S2015 ITERO, msg. 3 outline)
