The Symbolism of the Tabernacle

1 Corinthians 2:9, "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them who love Him."

3

HOW GOD TEACHES THROUGH THE TABERNACLE

I Corinthians 2:10But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

4

Hebrews 6:1&2Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Messiah, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection, of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

5

Our spiritual walk is all about moving:It is important to grow, to mature, to move forward in your faith

Proverbs4:18:But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

6

Paul said this to the men of Athens:

Acts 17:28 - For in him we live, and move, and have our being;"

7

The poles and staves always stayed with the furniture in the Tabernacle: This implies a lifestyle of movement

God uses symbolism to teach truths in Scripture:Hebrews 9:23 & 24It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Messiah is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

9

Hebrews 8:5Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shown to thee in the mount.

10

THE TABERNACLECONCLUSIONA STUDY OF THEMIND, WILL AND EMOTIONS.See, saith he, THE SOUL

THE WAY INTO THE HOLIEST...See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount."............Hebrews 8:5b

11

Throughout the Bible, God teaches us truths about the New Covenant through types, shadows and patterns from the Old CovenantThe feastsThe sacrificesRuthAbraham, Isaac and the servantSong of SolomonJudas/OhipathelThe Book of Hebrews unlocks so much

12

SYMBOLISM OF THE TABERNACLEPerhaps the greatest example of symbolic teaching given by God in the Scriptures is the study of Moses Tabernacle in the wilderness

We are looking at this subject for divine truth

The Tabernacle shows various things From the same pattern

13

Moses Tabernacle in the wilderness is a pattern that shows truths about several different topicsIts a replica of HeavenIt portrays Yeshua the Messiah and His attributesThe nature of manThe Biblical FeastsThe 7 Congregations of RevelationThe nature of GodAnd others ..

14

Moses Tabernacle progressively gives us a roadmap of spiritual growth intended on preparing us for fellowshipping with the LORD in the Holy of Holies

We will study the Tabernacle as it shows us this path of spiritual growth and maturity

15

THE BIBLE IS A TREASURE CHEST!MANY OF GODS TRUTHSARE LIKE A MYSTERY BEING UNVEILED

THIS MAKES THE STUDY OF HIS WORD EXCITINGWHEN YOU KNOW THE KEYSOF HOW TO STUDY

16

Our study of the Tabernacle will be an in depth look at the types, shadows and patterns from Scripture The various subjects are:The Outer FenceThe Brazen AltarThe Brazen LaverThe Holy PlaceThe Table of ShewbreadThe MenorahThe Altar of IncenseThe Holy of HoliesThe Mercy SeatThe Ark of the CovenantGods Roadmap for spiritual growth inYeshua Ha Mashiach

17

An important point to make are the 3 basic areas of the Tabernacle and the light available

The Outer CourtHoly of HoliesThe Holy Place

HOLY PLACE:LIT BY MENORAHOUTER COURT:LIT BY NATURAL MEANS,SUN BY DAY, MOON & STARS AT NIGHTHOLY OF HOLIES:LIT BY THE PRESENCEOF GOD HIMSELF

18

Remember, we are created in Gods image and we are triune too:1 Thessaloneans 5:23, And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

19

Another important point to make is the truth of who we are, and how we function:

The Outer CourtHoly of HoliesThe Holy Place

HOLY PLACE:SOULOUTER COURT: BODYHOLY OF HOLIES:SPIRIT

20

An interesting and important principle to consider when reading this divine roadmap:John 14:6 Yeshua saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
