More on How the Catholic Mass Follows Scriptures

Here are a few of the things that are used in a Catholic Mass, and why.

Incense:

Luke 1:10 -- "And the whole multitude of the people were in prayer outside at the hour of the incense offering. And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense."

Revelation 5:8 -- "When He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints."

Revelation 8:3 -- "Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne."

Also, there are a vast number of references in Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers to burning incense for the LORD on His alter.


Bells:

Zech 14:20 -- "In that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, 'HOLY TO THE LORD.' And the cooking pots in the LORD'S house will be like the bowls before the altar."

Exodus 28:33 -- "You shall make on its hem pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet material, all around on its hem, and bells of gold between them all around."


Priestly Vestments:

Exodus 30:14 -- "You shall put the holy garments on Aaron and anoint him and consecrate him, that he may minister as a priest to Me."

Leviticus 8:7-9 -- "He put the tunic on him and girded him with the sash, and clothed him with the robe and put the ephod on him; and he girded him with the artistic band of the ephod, with which he tied it to him. He then placed the breastpiece on him, and in the breastpiece he put the Urim and the Thummim. He also placed the turban on his head, and on the turban, at its front, he placed the golden plate, the holy crown, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. "
