For this reason, the author has tried to approach the subject simply, systematically, and scripturally.

Top Highlights

“The gold in the lampstand pictured the true faith that Christians possess. Jesus told the Laodicean church, ‘I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich’(Rev. 3:18). Christ, who is the pure gold, produces true faith in believers. Christians go through the hammering experience of suffering to try their faith so that it will come forth as gold tried in the fire. This type of faith is ‘much more precious than of gold that perisheth’(1 Pet. 1:7).” (source)

“Only two chapters of the Bible are devoted to a description of the creation of the world and mankind, but 50 chapters are devoted to a description of the Tabernacle and its related ministries.” (source)

“The laver had no measurements, symbolic of the limitless cleansing power of God.” (source)

“The showbread was a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, who is the true bread of life, giving unfailing sustenance to all who partake of Him. He was born in the city of Bethlehem which means house of bread.” (source)

“For almost 500 years, the Tabernacle served as a place for God to dwell among His people and a place where His people could commune with Him (Ex. 25:8; 40:34-37). Throughout Israel’s history, there was a propensity toward idolatry; thus, the Tabernacle stood as a visual reminder to Israel that they served the true and living God.” (source)
