When Israel left Egypt, God instructed Moses to construct the tabernacle as the centre for worship. It was made from the most precious materials available, with intricate and skilful workmanship. Access was carefully controlled, for God may not be approached without proper preparation.

Moving from the tents of the people to the ark in the tabernacle was like the way of life. It involved separation and sacrifice, washing and baptism, prayer and devotion, a recognition of sin, and a desire for righteousness.

Thus, the tabernacle has much to say about our origins and destiny, about God and His holiness, and about the Lord Jesus and his sacrifice. Careful readers will be enlightened.
