The Tabernacle
Introduction:
When God delivered the nation of Israel from
Egyptian bondage. While they were in route
to the Promise Land He gave them a
Tabernacle in which to serve Him. Ex.25:8
Moses walked into the Cloud of Glory on
Mount Sinai. God showed him a pattern of the
Tabernacle in heaven from which he made the
earthy Tabernacle. Ex.24:15-18
God said, Moses “Make the Tabernacle exactly
as I showed you in the mount.” Ex.25:40
He said this because every color, metal,
numeral and piece of furniture contained in
the Tabernacle is a type of His complete
plan of redemption that was fulfilled in His
Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, before it
came to pass!
God teaches His Great Spiritual Truths of
Redemption by using types.
Jesus established the typology of His
Tabernacle. In Jn.1:45 Philip finds Nathanel
and said, “We have found Him, of whom Moses
in the Law, and the prophets did
write, (We have
found) Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of
Joseph.” Deut.18:18; Mt.2:23
In chapter 5, verse 46, Jesus said, “Had you
believed Moses, you would have believed Me.
Moses wrote of Me.”
In Lk.24:27 After His Resurrection, Jesus
appeared to His disciples. “Beginning at
Moses and all the prophets, He expounded
unto them in all the Scriptures the
things concerning Himself.”
In verse 44 He said, “These are the words
which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with
you, that all things must be fulfilled,
which were written in the Law of Moses, in
the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning
Me.
In verse 45 “Then Jesus opened their
understanding that they might understand the
Scriptures.”
Deut.18:15; Jere.23:5; Ac.3:22,23; 13:23 |
