Inside the Tabernacle
When God gave instructions to Moses concerning the
tabernacle, He had three distinct purposes in mind.
1. God planned to dwell in the midst of Israel 2. To
teach man the holiness of God and the sinfulness of mankind
3.To show sinful man the only way of salvation.
Heb.9:24 For Christ did not enter a man-made
sanctuary that was only a copy of the true one; he entered
heaven itself, now to appear for us in God's
presence.
In the Most Holy Place was
the ark containing the Ten Commandments which revealed His
holy standards. A thick viel separated the Most Holy Place
for the Holy Place.
In the Holy Place were the
table of shewbread - Jesus said "I am the bread of
life"
the candlestick of pure gold
- "I am the light of the world".The altar of incense which
is associated with the prayer. Another veil separated the
Holy Place from the outer court.
In the outer court was the
laver, a large container of water for cleansing -
representing the Word of God.
EPH
5:26 ...to make
her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through
the word,
JN
15:1
3 You are already clean because of the
word I have spoken to you.
Also the bronze altar which
the sacrifices were made. This altar represents the
sacrifice of Christ.
HEB
10:11 Day after
day every priest stands and performs his religious duties;
again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can
never take away sins. 12 But when this priest had offered for
all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right
hand of God.
The outer court was veiled
off from the outside world by a curtain gate.
Jacob prophesies regarding
Judah
GE
49:10 The scepter
will not depart from Judah,nor the ruler's staff from
between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs and the
obedience of the nations is his.
