Exodus 17:19 – “And Moses built an altar and called the name of it Jehovah-Nissi:” What is an altar?

In the Bible, an altar is a raised structure for religious purposes, like offerings, sacrifices, and worship. It serves as a place of communion between God and the people. An altar is a place where spirit beings communicate with a physical person.

An altar is a place where spirit beings and human beings meet to decide the destiny of men. It is a place where you meet with God and step into a new level. There is power behind every altar, and this power can be either of good or evil. The only thing that can activate the altar is a sacrifice.

Every altar must have a sacrifice on it to activate it. An altar is activated by the power of the sacrifice on it. 1 Peter 2:5 – “ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.”

Genesis 18:22 – Noah built an altar to the Living God, and on that altar, Noah sacrificed all clean animals for it to be accepted unto the Lord. God responded by entering into a new covenant with Noah and all his descendants after him.
