00:00:44,850 --> 00:00:47,460
Exodus chapter 37.

12
00:00:47,460 --> 00:00:51,574
Bezaleel made the arc of acacia
wood. Its length was two and a

13
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,754
half cubits and it's with the
qubit and a half and a qubit and

14
00:00:55,821 --> 00:00:59,736
a half its height. He overlaid
it with pure gold inside and

15
00:00:59,802 --> 00:01:03,784
outside and made a molding of
gold for it around it. He cast

16
00:01:03,850 --> 00:01:08,163
four rings of gold for it in its
four feet, even two rings on its

17
00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:12,079
one side and two rings on its
other side. He made poles of

18
00:01:12,145 --> 00:01:16,259
acacia wood and overlaid them
with gold. He put the poles into

19
00:01:16,326 --> 00:01:20,307
the rings on the sides of the
ark to bear the ark. He made a

20
00:01:20,373 --> 00:01:24,421
mercy seat of pure gold. Its
length was two and a half cubits

21
00:01:24,488 --> 00:01:28,668
and a cubit in half its width.
He made two cherubim of gold. He

22
00:01:28,735 --> 00:01:32,782
made them have beaten work at
the two ends of the Mercy Seat,

23
00:01:32,849 --> 00:01:36,963
one cherub at the one end, and
one cherub at the other end. He

24
00:01:37,029 --> 00:01:41,077
made the cherubim of one piece
with the mercy seat at its two

25
00:01:41,144 --> 00:01:45,258
ends. The cherub been spread out
their wings on high, covering

26
00:01:45,324 --> 00:01:49,239
the mercy seat with their wings
with their faces toward one

27
00:01:49,306 --> 00:01:53,022
another. The faces of the
chairman were toward the mercy

28
00:01:53,088 --> 00:01:56,937
seat. He made the table of
acacia wood. Its length was two

29
00:01:57,003 --> 00:02:01,118
qubits. Its width was a qubit
and its height was a qubit and a

30
00:02:01,184 --> 00:02:05,099
half. He overlaid it with pure
gold and made a gold molding

31
00:02:05,165 --> 00:02:09,412
around it. He made a border of a
hand width around it and made a

32
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:13,527
golden molding on its border
around it. He cast four rings of

33
00:02:13,593 --> 00:02:17,707
gold for it and put the rings in
the four corners that were on

34
00:02:17,774 --> 00:02:21,821
it's four feet. The rings were
close by the border the places

35
00:02:21,888 --> 00:02:25,471
for the poles to carry the
table. He made the poles of

36
00:02:25,538 --> 00:02:29,652
acacia wood and overlaid them
with gold to carry the table. He

37
00:02:29,718 --> 00:02:33,434
made the vessels which were on
the table it's dishes its

38
00:02:33,501 --> 00:02:37,217
spoons, its bowls in its
pictures with which to pour out

39
00:02:37,283 --> 00:02:41,066
of pure gold. He made the
lampstand of pure gold. He made

40
00:02:41,132 --> 00:02:45,047
the lampstand of Beaton work,
its base its shaft, its cups,

41
00:02:45,113 --> 00:02:49,294
its buds, and its flowers were
of one piece with it. There were

42
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,275
six branches going out of its
sights, three branches of the

43
00:02:53,342 --> 00:02:57,058
lampstand out of its one side,
and three branches of the

44
00:02:57,124 --> 00:03:01,106
lampstand out of its other side.
Three cups made like almond

45
00:03:01,172 --> 00:03:05,220
blossoms in one branch of Bud
into flower and three cups made

46
00:03:05,286 --> 00:03:08,870
like almond blossoms and the
other branch of Bud and a

47
00:03:08,936 --> 00:03:13,117
flower. So for the six branches
going out of the lampstand into

48
00:03:13,183 --> 00:03:17,098
Lampstand were four cups made
like almond blossoms. Its bud

49
00:03:17,165 --> 00:03:21,345
and its flowers in the bud under
two branches of one piece with

50
00:03:21,412 --> 00:03:25,526
it. And Ubud under two branches
of one piece with it, and Ubud

51
00:03:25,592 --> 00:03:29,640
under two branches of one piece
with it, for the six branches

52
00:03:29,706 --> 00:03:33,887
going out of it. Their buds in
their branches were of one piece

53
00:03:33,953 --> 00:03:38,001
with it. The whole thing was one
beaten work of pure gold. He

rings for it under its molding
crown on its two ribs on its two

62
00:04:10,915 --> 00:04:14,897
sides, four places for poles
with which to carry it. He made

63
00:04:14,963 --> 00:04:19,011
the poles of acacia wood and
overlaid them with gold. He made

64
00:04:19,077 --> 00:04:22,992

67
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,967
He made the altar of burnt
offering of acacia wood, it was

68
00:04:32,034 --> 00:04:36,056
square. Its length was five
cubits its width was five cubits

69
00:04:36,123 --> 00:04:40,279
and its height was three cubits.
He made its horns on its four

70
00:04:40,347 --> 00:04:44,436
corners. Its horns were of one
piece with it, and he overlaid

71
00:04:44,503 --> 00:04:48,592

76
00:05:04,881 --> 00:05:08,634
grating to be places for the
poles. He made the poles of

77
00:05:08,701 --> 00:05:12,589

78
00:05:12,656 --> 00:05:16,678
into the rings on the sides of
the altar with which to carry

79
00:05:16,745 --> 00:05:20,432
it. He made it hollow with
planks. He made the basin of

80
00:05:20,499 --> 00:05:24,722
brass and its base of brass out
of the mirrors of the ministry,

81
00:05:24,789 --> 00:05:29,079

And so for the other side, on
this hand in on that hand by the

93
00:06:14,260 --> 00:06:17,745
gate of the court, we're
hangings of 15 cubits their

94
00:06:17,812 --> 00:06:21,968
pillars three and their sockets
three. All the hangings around

95
00:06:22,035 --> 00:06:26,057
the court were a fine twined
linen, the pillars of the court

96

00:06:59,239 --> 00:07:03,328
used for the tabernacle, even
the tabernacle of the testimony

105
00:07:03,395 --> 00:07:07,618

that was used for the work and
all the work of the sanctuary.

113
00:07:37,045 --> 00:07:41,000
Even the gold of the offering
was 29 talents in 730 shekels

114
00:07:41,067 --> 00:07:44,754
after the shackle of the
sanctuary. The silver of those

115
00:07:44,821 --> 00:07:48,508
who are numbered to the
congregation was 100 talents in

116
00:07:48,575 --> 00:07:52,128
1775. shackles, after the
shackle of the sanctuary, a

117
00:07:52,195 --> 00:07:56,082
Becca ahead that is half a
shekel after the shackle of the

118
00:07:56,149 --> 00:07:59,903
sanctuary for everyone who
passed over to those who were

119
00:07:59,970 --> 00:08:04,126
numbered from 20 years old and
upward, or 603,550 men, the 100

120
00:08:04,193 --> 00:08:07,813
talents of silver we're
forecasting the sockets of the

121
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,969
sanctuary and the sockets of the
Vale 100 sockets for the 100

122
00:08:12,036 --> 00:08:15,924
talents, a talent for a socket
of the 1775 shekels he made

123
00:08:15,991 --> 00:08:19,745
hooks for the pillars, overlaid
their capitals, and made

124
00:08:19,812 --> 00:08:23,968
Phillips for them. The brass of
the offering was 70 talents in

125
00:08:24,035 --> 00:08:28,124
2400 shekels with this he made
the sockets to the door of the

126
00:08:28,191 --> 00:08:32,347
tin of meeting the bronze altar,
the bronze grating for it all

127

130
00:08:43,140 --> 00:08:44,820
Exodus chapter 39.

131
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,040
They used blue, purple and red
thread to make woven clothes for

132
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,000
the priests to wear when they
served in the holy place. They

133
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,810
made the holy clothes for Erin
as the Lord had commanded Moses.

134
00:08:58,650 --> 00:09:02,850
They made the holy vest of gold
and blue, purple and red thread

135
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,690
and fine linen. They hammered
the gold into sheets and then

136
00:09:06,690 --> 00:09:10,770
cut it into long thin strips.
They worked the gold into the

137
00:09:10,770 --> 00:09:14,760
blue, purple and red thread and
find linen. This was done by

138
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,660
skilled craftsmen. They made the
shoulder straps for the Holy

139
00:09:18,660 --> 00:09:22,710
vest which were attached to the
top corners of the vest and tied

140
00:09:22,710 --> 00:09:27,330
together over each shoulder. The
skillfully woven belt was made

141
00:09:27,330 --> 00:09:32,610
in the same way it was joined to
the holy vest is one piece. It

142
00:09:32,610 --> 00:09:36,390
was made of gold and blue,
purple and red thread and fine

143
00:09:36,390 --> 00:09:41,310
linen the way the Lord commanded
Moses. They put gold around the

144
00:09:41,340 --> 00:09:44,910
onyx stones and then wrote the
names of the sons of Israel on

145
00:09:44,910 --> 00:09:48,840
those gems as a person carves
words and designs on a seal.

146
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,220
Then they attached the gems on
the shoulder straps of the holy

147
00:09:53,220 --> 00:09:58,200
vest, as reminders of the 12
Sons of Israel. This was done

148
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,740
just as the Lord had commanded
Moses This, the skilled

149
00:10:01,740 --> 00:10:05,580
craftsmen made the chest
covering like the holy vest. It

150
00:10:05,580 --> 00:10:09,090
was made of gold and blue,
purple and red thread and fine

151
00:10:09,090 --> 00:10:13,620
linen. The chest covering was
square, nine inches long and

152
00:10:13,620 --> 00:10:17,670
nine inches wide, and it was
folded double to make a pocket.

153
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,140
Then they put four rows of
beautiful jewels on it. In the

154
00:10:22,140 --> 00:10:26,820
first row there was a Ruby, a
Topaz and a yellow quartz. In

155
00:10:26,820 --> 00:10:29,760

turquoise, a sapphire and an

156
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,810

a Jasson an agate in an

157
00:10:33,810 --> 00:10:38,070
amethyst. In the fourth there
was a chrysolite and onyx and a

158
00:10:38,070 --> 00:10:42,630
jasper gold was put around these
jewels to attach them to the

159
00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:46,020
chest covering and the names of
the sons of Israel were carved

160
00:10:46,020 --> 00:10:50,340
on these 12 jewels as a person
carves the seal. Each jewel had

161
00:10:50,340 --> 00:10:54,420
the name of one of the 12 tribes
of Israel. They made chains of

162
00:10:54,420 --> 00:10:58,260
pure gold twisted together like
a rope for the chest covering.

163
00:10:58,890 --> 00:11:03,720
The workers made two gold pieces
into gold rings. They put the

164
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,960
two gold rings on the two upper
corners of the chest covering.

165
00:11:07,230 --> 00:11:10,560
Then they put two gold chains
into the two rings at the ends

166
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:13,710
of the chest covering and they
fastened the other two ends of

167
00:11:13,710 --> 00:11:18,180
the chains to the two gold
pieces. They attached these gold

168
00:11:18,180 --> 00:11:21,120
pieces to the two shoulder
straps in the front of the holy

169
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,840
vest. They made two gold rings
and put them at the lower

170
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,950
corners of the chest covering on
the inside edge next to the holy

171
00:11:28,950 --> 00:11:32,670
vest. They made two more gold
rings on the bottom of the

172
00:11:32,670 --> 00:11:36,690
shoulder straps in front of the
holy vest near the seam just

173
00:11:36,690 --> 00:11:41,340
above the woven belt of the holy
vest. They used a blue ribbon

174
00:11:41,370 --> 00:11:44,130
and tied the rings of the chest
covering to the rings of the

175
00:11:44,130 --> 00:11:48,960
holy vest connecting it to the
woven belt. In this way the

176
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,950
chest covering would not swing
out from the holy vest. They did

177
00:11:52,950 --> 00:11:57,300
all these things the way the
Lord commanded. Then they made

178
00:11:57,300 --> 00:12:01,860
the outer robe to be worn under
the holy vest. It was woven only

179
00:12:01,860 --> 00:12:06,090
of blue cloth. They made a hole
in the center of the outer robe

180
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,560
with a woven collar sewn around
it so it would not tear. Then

181
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:13,440
they made balls like
pomegranates of blue, purple and

182
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,680
red thread and find linen and
hung them around the bottom of

183
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:20,730
the outer robe. They also made
bells of pure gold and hung

184
00:12:20,730 --> 00:12:25,230
these around the bottom of the
outer robe between the balls. So

185
00:12:25,230 --> 00:12:28,320
around the bottom of the outer
robe. There was a bell and a

186
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,730
pomegranate ball, a bell and a
pomegranate ball. The priest

187
00:12:32,730 --> 00:12:36,270
wore this outer robe when he
served as a priest, just as the

188
00:12:36,270 --> 00:12:40,770
Lord had commanded Moses. They
will have inner robes of fine

189
00:12:40,770 --> 00:12:45,000
linen for Aaron and his sons and
they made turbans headbands, and

190
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,780
under clothes of fine linen.
Then they made the cloth belt of

191
00:12:48,780 --> 00:12:52,650
fine linen and blue, purple and
red thread. And designs were

192
00:12:52,650 --> 00:12:55,620
sewn into it just as the Lord
had commanded Moses.

193
00:12:56,639 --> 00:13:00,464
They made a strip of pure gold
which is the Holy Crown and

194
00:13:00,530 --> 00:13:04,487
carved these words in the gold
as one might carve on a seal,

195
00:13:04,553 --> 00:13:08,708
holy to the Lord. Then they tied
this flat piece to the turbine

196
00:13:08,774 --> 00:13:12,863
with a blue ribbon as the Lord
had commanded Moses. So all the

197
00:13:12,929 --> 00:13:16,688
work on the meeting tent was
finished. The Israelites did

198
00:13:16,754 --> 00:13:20,579
everything just as the Lord had
commanded Moses. Then they

199
00:13:20,645 --> 00:13:24,800
brought the holy tent to Moses,
the tent and all its furniture,

200
00:13:24,866 --> 00:13:28,889
hooks frames, cross bars, posts
in bases, the covering native

201
00:13:28,955 --> 00:13:33,110
nail sheepskins color dread, the
covering made of fine leather,

202
00:13:33,176 --> 00:13:37,463
and the curtain that covered the
entrance to the most holy place.

203
00:13:37,529 --> 00:13:41,618
The Ark of the agreement, its
poles in lid, the table, all its

204
00:13:41,684 --> 00:13:45,377
containers, and the bread that
showed they were in God's

205
00:13:45,443 --> 00:13:48,939
presence. The pure gold
Lampstand with its lamps in a

206
00:13:49,005 --> 00:13:52,896
row, all its tools in the olive
oil for the light, the gold

207
00:13:52,962 --> 00:13:56,985
altar, the special olive oil
used for appointing priests, the

208
00:13:57,051 --> 00:14:00,744
sweet smelling incense, and the
curtain that covered the

209
00:14:00,810 --> 00:14:04,965
entrance to the holy tent, the
bronze altar and its screen, its

210
00:14:05,031 --> 00:14:08,922
poles and all its tools, the
bowl and it stand the curtains

211
00:14:08,988 --> 00:14:12,748
for the courtyard with their
posts and bases. The curtain

212
00:14:12,814 --> 00:14:16,771
that covered the entry to the
courtyard, the cords, pegs and

213
00:14:16,837 --> 00:14:20,794
all the things in the meeting
tent. They brought the clothes

214
00:14:20,860 --> 00:14:24,685
for the priests to wear when
they served in the holy tent,

215
00:14:24,751 --> 00:14:28,774
the holy clothes for Aaron the
priest and the clothes for his

216
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,336
sons which they wore when they
served as priests. The

217
00:14:32,402 --> 00:14:35,963
Israelites had done all this
work just as the Lord had

218
00:14:36,029 --> 00:14:40,052
commanded Moses. Moses looked
closely at all the work and saw

219
00:14:40,118 --> 00:14:44,207
that they had done it just as
the Lord had commanded. So Moses

220
00:14:44,273 --> 00:14:44,999
bless them.

221
00:14:44,999 --> 00:14:47,489
Exodus chapter 40.

222
00:14:47,489 --> 00:14:51,123
Then the Lord said to Moses, on
the first day of the first

223
00:14:51,186 --> 00:14:54,883
month, set up the holy tent,
which is the meeting tent, put

224
00:14:54,946 --> 00:14:58,894
the Ark of the agreement in it
and hang the curtain in front of

225
00:14:58,956 --> 00:15:02,904
the ark. Bring in the table and
arrange everything on the table

226
00:15:02,967 --> 00:15:06,977
that should be there. Then bring
in the lampstand and set up its

227
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,863
lamps. Put the gold altar for
burning incense in front of the

228
00:15:10,925 --> 00:15:14,873
Ark of the agreement and put the
curtain at the entrance to the

229
00:15:14,936 --> 00:15:18,633
holy tent. Put the altar of
burnt offerings in front of the

230
00:15:18,696 --> 00:15:22,205
entrance of the holy tent the
meeting tent. Put the bowl

231
00:15:22,268 --> 00:15:26,216
between the meeting tent and the
altar and put water in it. Set

232
00:15:26,278 --> 00:15:30,289
up the courtyard around the holy
tent and put the curtain at the

233
00:15:30,352 --> 00:15:34,362
entry to the courtyard. Use the
special olive oil and pour it on

234
00:15:34,425 --> 00:15:38,247
the holy tent and everything in
it. In order to give the tent

235
00:15:38,310 --> 00:15:41,819
and all that is in it for
service to the Lord, they will

236
00:15:41,882 --> 00:15:45,830
be holy. Pour the special oil on
the altar for burnt offerings,

237
00:15:45,893 --> 00:15:49,778
and on all its tools. Give the
altar for service to God and it

238
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,726
will be very holy. Then pour the
special olive oil on the bowl

239
00:15:53,788 --> 00:15:57,548
and the bass under it so that
they will be given for service

240
00:15:57,611 --> 00:16:01,559
to God. Bring Aaron and his sons
to the entrance of the meeting

241
00:16:01,622 --> 00:16:05,319
tent and wash them with water.
Then put the holy clothes on

242
00:16:05,381 --> 00:16:09,267
Aaron, pour the special oil on
him and give him for service to

243
00:16:09,329 --> 00:16:13,403
God so that he may serve me as a
priest. Bring Aaron sons and put

244
00:16:13,465 --> 00:16:17,225
the inner robes on them. Pour
the special oil on them in the

245
00:16:17,288 --> 00:16:20,860
same way that you appointed
their father's priest so that

246
00:16:20,922 --> 00:16:24,557
they may also serve me as
priests. pouring oil on Dan will

247
00:16:24,620 --> 00:16:28,442
make them a family of priests
they and their descendants from

248
00:16:28,505 --> 00:16:32,265
now on. Moses did everything
that the Lord commanded him. So

249
00:16:32,328 --> 00:16:36,087
the Holy tent was set up on the
first day of the first month

250
00:16:36,150 --> 00:16:39,910
during the second year after
they left Egypt. When Moses set

251
00:16:39,973 --> 00:16:43,670
up the holy tent, he put the
bases in place, and he put the

252
00:16:43,733 --> 00:16:47,493
frames on the basis. Next he put
the crossbar is through the

253
00:16:47,555 --> 00:16:51,190
rings of the frames and set up
the posts. After that Moses

254
00:16:51,252 --> 00:16:55,075
spread the cloth over the holy
tent and put the covering over

255
00:16:55,138 --> 00:16:59,086
it just as the Lord commanded.
Moses put the stone tablets that

256
00:16:59,148 --> 00:17:02,783
had the agreement written on
them into the ark. He put the

257
00:17:02,846 --> 00:17:06,731
poles through the rings of the
ark and put the lid on it. Next

258
00:17:06,793 --> 00:17:10,679
he brought the Ark into the tent
and hung the curtain to cover

259
00:17:10,741 --> 00:17:14,063
the Ark just as the Lord
commanded him. Moses put the

260
00:17:14,125 --> 00:17:18,073
table in the meeting tent on the
north side of the holy tent in

261
00:17:18,136 --> 00:17:21,645
front of the curtain. Then he
put the bread on the table

262
00:17:21,708 --> 00:17:25,530
before the Lord just as the Lord
commanded him. Moses put the

263
00:17:25,593 --> 00:17:29,604
lampstand in the meeting tent on
the south side of the holy tent

264
00:17:29,666 --> 00:17:33,552
across from the table. Then he
put the lamps on the lamp stand

265
00:17:33,614 --> 00:17:36,560
before the Lord just as the Lord
commanded him.

266
00:17:37,650 --> 00:17:41,413
Moses put the gold altar for
burning incense in the meeting

267
00:17:41,477 --> 00:17:45,240
tent in front of the curtain.
Then he burned sweet smelling

268
00:17:45,304 --> 00:17:49,322
incense on it, just as the Lord
commanded him. Then he hung the

269
00:17:49,386 --> 00:17:53,341
curtain at the entrance to the
holy tent. He put the altar for

270
00:17:53,404 --> 00:17:57,295
burnt offerings at the entrance
to the holy tent, the meeting

271
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,314
tent and offered a whole burnt
offering and grain offerings on

272
00:18:01,378 --> 00:18:05,332
it, just as the Lord commanded
him. Moses put the bowl between

273
00:18:05,396 --> 00:18:09,351
the meeting tent and the altar
for burnt offerings, and he put

274
00:18:09,415 --> 00:18:13,305
water in it for washing. Moses,
Aaron and Aaron sons use this

275
00:18:13,369 --> 00:18:17,069
water to wash their hands and
feet. They washed themselves

276
00:18:17,133 --> 00:18:20,705
every time they entered the
meeting tent, and every time

277
00:18:20,768 --> 00:18:24,404
they went near the altar for
burnt offerings, just as the

278
00:18:24,468 --> 00:18:28,550
Lord commanded Moses. Then Moses
set up the courtyard around the

279
00:18:28,614 --> 00:18:32,632
holy tent and the altar. And he
put up the curtain at the entry

280
00:18:32,696 --> 00:18:36,141
to the courtyard. So Moses
finished the work. Then the

281
00:18:36,204 --> 00:18:40,287
cloud covered the meeting tent,
and the glory of the Lord filled

282
00:18:40,350 --> 00:18:44,305
the holy tent. Moses could not
enter the meeting tent, because

283
00:18:44,369 --> 00:18:48,515
the cloud had settled on it. And
the glory of the Lord filled the

284
00:18:48,579 --> 00:18:52,023
holy tent. When the cloud rose
from the holy tent, the

285
00:18:52,087 --> 00:18:55,786
Israelites would begin to
travel. But as long as the cloud

286
00:18:55,850 --> 00:18:59,677
stayed on the holy tent, they
did not travel. They stayed in

287
00:18:59,741 --> 00:19:03,632
that place until the cloud rose.
So the cloud of the Lord was

288
00:19:03,696 --> 00:19:07,650
over the holy tent during the
day. And there was a fire in the

289
00:19:07,714 --> 00:19:11,350
cloud at night. So all the
Israelites could see the cloud

290
00:19:11,414 --> 00:19:12,690
while they traveled.

291
00:19:12,690 --> 00:19:16,699
Well, beloved, as we close the
book of Exodus, I think it's

292
00:19:16,767 --> 00:19:20,776
important to talk about the
significance of the tabernacle,

293
00:19:20,844 --> 00:19:24,650
given the fact that God gave
Moses such intricate detail

294
00:19:24,718 --> 00:19:28,115
about how it was to be
constructed, we can see how

295
00:19:28,183 --> 00:19:32,533
important the tabernacle was to
God and therefore his people. So

296
00:19:32,601 --> 00:19:36,882
why was it so important? Well,
it represented the very presence

297
00:19:36,950 --> 00:19:41,231
of God. His presence was there
in a very tangible way. And this

298
00:19:41,299 --> 00:19:44,833
was where the Ark of the
Covenant was. This is where

299
00:19:44,901 --> 00:19:48,706
sacrifices were made for the
sins of the people. This is

300
00:19:48,774 --> 00:19:52,716
where the priests did their
ministries. The tabernacle was

301
00:19:52,783 --> 00:19:57,201
the center of the spiritual life
for the children of Israel. This

302
00:19:57,269 --> 00:20:01,346
is where they could draw near to
God and at the same time be

303
00:20:01,414 --> 00:20:05,559
reminded that he is holy. But
more than that, the town Knakal

304
00:20:05,627 --> 00:20:09,501
was a picture of the coming
Messiah. How so? Well, first,

305
00:20:09,569 --> 00:20:13,918
the name itself points to Jesus
tabernacle means dwelling place.

306
00:20:13,986 --> 00:20:18,063
And when Jesus came to earth, He
truly was Emmanuelle, which

307
00:20:18,131 --> 00:20:22,005
means God with us or God
dwelling with us. Now there were

308
00:20:22,072 --> 00:20:25,402
eight main parts of the
tabernacle. First was the

309
00:20:25,470 --> 00:20:29,276
enclosure around the tabernacle,
which was made of linen

310
00:20:29,344 --> 00:20:33,489
curtains. This illustrated the
separation between God and man

311
00:20:33,557 --> 00:20:37,566
caused by sin. This separation
shows our need for Jesus the

312
00:20:37,634 --> 00:20:41,848
Messiah. The second part of the
tabernacle was the door, there

313
00:20:41,916 --> 00:20:46,129
was only one entrance, one door
to the tabernacle through that

314
00:20:46,197 --> 00:20:50,478
enclosure. The fact that there
was a door showed that God wants

315
00:20:50,546 --> 00:20:54,691
us to come near to him. And in
John 10 Nine, Jesus said, I am

316
00:20:54,759 --> 00:20:58,973
the door inside the outer court.
The first thing you saw after

317
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,982
you walked through the door was
the bronze altar for burnt

318
00:21:03,050 --> 00:21:06,652
offerings. The priests would
offer sacrifices for the

319
00:21:06,719 --> 00:21:10,525
atonement of sin or for giving
thanks worship or praise.

320
00:21:10,593 --> 00:21:14,602
Animals used in the sacrifices
were bowls, goats are lambs,

321
00:21:14,670 --> 00:21:19,020
Jesus, he is what the Lamb of
God, the ones and final sacrifice.

322
00:21:20,339 --> 00:21:23,519
The next object in the outer
court of the tabernacle was the

323
00:21:23,519 --> 00:21:27,299
bronze basin, which the priests
used each day for cleaning

324
00:21:27,299 --> 00:21:31,859
themselves before meeting with
God. The sacrifice Jesus made

325
00:21:31,859 --> 00:21:37,079
for us cleanses us from all
unrighteousness. Now at the back

326
00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:41,099
of the outer court was an
enclosed tent called the holy

327
00:21:41,099 --> 00:21:45,539
place where only a priest could
enter. Inside the holy place was

328
00:21:45,539 --> 00:21:49,409
a curtain which divided it into
a front half in the back half.

329
00:21:50,189 --> 00:21:54,749
The back was the Holy of Holies,
or most holy place or inner

330
00:21:54,749 --> 00:21:59,969
sanctuary. Inside of the holy
place, were three more objects

331
00:21:59,999 --> 00:22:04,229
that pointed to Jesus. There was
the table with the show bread or

332
00:22:04,229 --> 00:22:08,069
the bread of the presence, there
were 12 loaves of bread which

333
00:22:08,069 --> 00:22:11,939
were in offering to God, the
bread represented God's presence

334
00:22:11,939 --> 00:22:16,589
with mankind is provisioned for
us, and that he is our source of

335
00:22:16,589 --> 00:22:23,039
life. And Jesus said in John
635, I am the bread of life. Now

336
00:22:23,069 --> 00:22:26,879
also in the holy place was the
Golden Lampstand, which provided

337
00:22:26,879 --> 00:22:29,699
light in this space and
represented the light of God's

338
00:22:29,699 --> 00:22:34,049
presence. In John 812. Jesus
said, I am the light of the

339
00:22:34,049 --> 00:22:37,829
world, Whoever follows me will
never walk in darkness but will

340
00:22:37,829 --> 00:22:41,699
have the light of life. Another
object in the holy place was the

341
00:22:41,699 --> 00:22:46,529
altar of incense. Sacred incense
was burned there all day at all

342
00:22:46,529 --> 00:22:50,189
night, and it represented the
prayers of the people rising up

343
00:22:50,189 --> 00:22:55,499
as a sweet fragrance to God.
Second Corinthians 215 says, our

344
00:22:55,499 --> 00:22:59,489
lives are a Christ like
fragrance rising up to God. And

345
00:22:59,489 --> 00:23:03,239
then behind the veil in the most
holy place, where a priest could

346
00:23:03,239 --> 00:23:06,929
only enter once a year to bring
a sacrifice which would atone

347
00:23:06,929 --> 00:23:10,679
for the sins of the people was
the Ark of the Covenant. Now,

348
00:23:10,679 --> 00:23:14,309
inside the ark was Aaron's rod
which represented God's grace to

349
00:23:14,309 --> 00:23:18,839
deliver also in the ark was a
jar of manna, which showed God's

350
00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:23,069
power to provide. And then
lastly, the stone tablets upon

351
00:23:23,069 --> 00:23:26,459
which God wrote the 10
commandments, which showed God's

352
00:23:26,459 --> 00:23:31,649
holiness as we relate to him and
mankind. So the three things

353
00:23:31,649 --> 00:23:34,649
represented in the Ark of the
Covenant were God's grace to

354
00:23:34,679 --> 00:23:40,739
deliver God's power to provide
and God's holiness, deliverance,

355
00:23:40,769 --> 00:23:45,419
provision and holiness. You see
the parallels? Sure, Jesus

356
00:23:45,419 --> 00:23:48,869
fulfilled the 10 commandments
living a perfect sinless life.

357
00:23:49,019 --> 00:23:51,989
So he could therefore be a
sacrifice for me and you,

358
00:23:52,229 --> 00:23:55,169
delivering us from sin and
judgment, which brought

359
00:23:55,169 --> 00:23:59,189
atonement and forgiveness. Well,
I've only just scratched the

360
00:23:59,189 --> 00:24:02,369
surface of the symbolism found
in the tabernacle. It's really a

361
00:24:02,369 --> 00:24:05,279
worthwhile study. If you want to
dig deeper. I'd love to hear

362
00:24:05,279 --> 00:24:10,439

365
00:24:27,329 --> 00:24:32,459
On this date in church history,
February 7 1832, Hannah Will

366
00:24:32,459 --> 00:24:35,879
Smith was born. She was an
American Quaker evangelist,

367
00:24:35,879 --> 00:24:39,299
reformer, holiness evangelist
and speaker, her most

368
00:24:39,299 --> 00:24:42,569
influential publication The
Christian secret of a happy

369
00:24:42,569 --> 00:24:47,639
life, written in 1875 remains a
popular devotional guide even to

370
00:24:47,639 --> 00:24:50,669
this very day. I remember when I
used to be in the Christian

371
00:24:50,669 --> 00:24:53,579

always a very popular

372

devotional, you might like to

373
00:25:05,339 --> 00:25:09,299
Let's pray. Our heavenly Father,
Lord, we praise you and we thank

374
00:25:09,299 --> 00:25:13,169
you for loving us. As we read

draw us closer to you. We thank
You, Lord, for the picture of

377
00:25:20,369 --> 00:25:23,609
Jesus that we see in the
tabernacle. You're such a God of

378
00:25:23,609 --> 00:25:26,639
detail, and you're so creative
in the way you communicate to

379
00:25:26,639 --> 00:25:29,849
us. I ask Lord, that you bless
each one of the Lifespring
