Tabernacle – the Meeting Place between God and Man

05TabernacleLayout

To the casual reader of the Bible the account of the Tabernacle of Israel may seem a chronicle of no real import for Christians today. The sacrifice of bulls and goats upon a brazen altar may seem to be just another meaningless tradition. But, the Apostle Paul explains that this drama, played out among the Jews for over 500 years, was not only a “schoolmaster” designed to lead them to the Messiah, but also abounds with significance for the Christian—“a shadow of good things to come.” Galatians 3:24; Hebrews 10:1

Yes, the Tabernacle arrangement of the nation of Israel speaks volumes to the Christian! To further study about the instructions for the Tabernacle arrangement, read Exodus 25-27. For the construction of the Tabernacle, read Exodus 35-40. For the fulfillment of these types and shadows, read the Book of Hebrews.

To what a glorious gospel, then, is this the key!”

Numbers 17:4; 2 Kings 17:35-36
As precious as that scenario is, a question still presents itself to the thinking mind: Why should a 21st Century Christian care about a 3,600-year-old Jewish relic? For that matter, why should a modern-day Jew care about this ancient artifact?”
