Bible Question: What was the Jewish tabernacle and what purpose did it serve? How did the tabernacle differ from the temple that came along later? Of what significance was the temple and did it replace the tabernacle? --Hank |
Bible Answer: the purpose of the tabernacle was to demonstrate the plan of salvation as a person comes to Jesus the Lamb of God. To illustrate our part in the plan and to demonstrate Christ's part in that plan also, and as you follow the work of the priest in the earthly tabernacle you see the work of Christ in our behalf in the heavenly sanctuary. |
