Materials of Tabernacle

Gold = Glory of GodRev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried

in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that

thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint

thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou

mayest see.

Gold Represents:1. Deity

2. Divine Righteousness

Exo 25:17 And thou shalt make a mercy

seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

Silver = RedemptionNum 18:16 And

those that are to be redeemed from a

month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for

the money of five shekels, after the

shekel of the sanctuary, which is

twenty gerahs.

The meaning of the shekel

offering comes from the following passage:

Exodus 30:12-16

“Then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD”

Brass = Death of ChristExo 27:3 And thou shalt make his pans to receive his ashes, and his shovels, and his basons, and his fleshhooks, and his

firepans: all the vessels thereof thou shalt make of brass.

Rev 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they

burned in a furnace; and his

voice as the sound of many waters.

Gold, Silver, and Brass of the Tabernacle

materials speak of Jesus meeting

Man’s responsibility toward God!
