Let me share a few scattered thoughts I remember from a teaching I once did on the wilderness tabernacle. The tabernacle served as a copy and shadow of the heavenly things (Heb 8:5). It was actually a “blueprint of our salvation” thru Jesus Christ. The purpose of the tabernacle was so God could dwell among His people (Exo 25:8). John 1:14 says “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” The tabernacle was made up of 3 parts: the outer court, the Holy place, and The Holy of Holies. This is symbolic of the 3 stages of Christianity. Redemption in OC (Eph 1:7), sanctification in HP (Heb_10:14), Glorification in the HoH (Heb_10:35-37). The wall of the outer court was symbolic of how man is separated from God thru sin (Isa 59:2). Jesus has brought the wall down and given us access to God (Eph_2:14-18). There was only 1 gate into OC, only 1 door into HP, and only I way into HoH. There is only 1 way to salvation; only thru Jesus ( Joh_10:9, Joh_14:6). The brazen alter was a symbol of the cross. The sacrificial lamb is Jesus. The brazen laver was for ceremonial washings of priest before he could minister. This was symbolic of believers baptism. The veil was a divider between HP and the HoH. The veil was the body of Christ (Heb_10:19-20). The veil of the temple was torn in two when Jesus died (Mar_15:37-38). This gave us access to God’s throne. The HoH was symbolic of God’s throne in heaven (Heb_9:24). Heb_4:16 says we can now come boldly to God’s throne. That is only possible by Jesus. The sacrifices offered by the priest were a reminder of sin (Heb_10:3). Jesus offered one sacrifice for sins forever (Heb_10:11-12). Notice the priest stands ministering daily, because his work was never done. Jesus sat down, because His work was complete! Jesus lives!!! |
