Exodus 25:7 (c) The high priest wore a breastplate in which were brilliant stones, each one bearing the name of one of the tribes of Israel. This is a figure of the nearness to GOD and dearness of each believer wherein his own High Priest carries him on His breast close to His heart.

Isaiah 59:17 (c) Here as in Ephesians 6:14 (a) the breastplate is a type of a righteous life. Those who live right fear no wrong. Their hearts are protected. Their feelings are protected. They have done that which is just and they are not afraid of evil consequences.

1 Thessalonians 5:8 (a) This breastplate of faith and love guards the believer from being hurt or hindered by the shafts that may be shot at him from enemy sources. Faith in GOD and love for his fellowmen keep him from getting his feelings hurt.
