READ EXODUS 25 The Tabernacle, as we’ve seen, was always designed to point you and me forward to Christ! The place of God’s presence among men was brought into fullness in the person of Jesus Christ. As heaven and earth met in the Incarnation, we need look no further for God’s promise to dwell among
READ EXODUS 28 We now come to the final and most holy place in the Tabernacle — the Holy of Holies, properly named. We have come to the ultimate place of God’s presence. Read Exodus 24:1-16. Summarize what we learned about the Ark of the Covenant. How was it designed? What was its
READ EXODUS 25 Yesterday we saw how the courtyard and altar are brought into their proper focus in Christ. But what about in the Tabernacle itself? What about in the Holy Place and in the Holy of Holies? Where do we see Christ in this system of worship? Read Exodus 25:31-40. What did we learn

Chapter 29 outlines for us what
READ EXODUS 28 The priestly garments were to be holy garments for glory and for beauty. They reminded God’s people of the holiness of His presence, the weight of His presence, and the beauty of His presence. But, what were they like? And why? As we learned last week, our hermeneutic is important here. If
READ EXODUS 28 The Tabernacle was a place where all of Israel could come and be made right before God. There, they could make offerings of thanksgiving or offer sacrifices for sin. But, as commentator R. Kent Hughes puts it, the Tabernacle was not a “self-serve” station. It was not a free-for-all worship hall. It
READ EXODUS 27 The courtyard of the Tabernacle reminds us that God delights in calling many to Himself. The call into relationship with Him – into proximity to Him – goes out far and wide. And yet, the entrance to the Tabernacle is narrow. The fabric walls with cherubim woven into them stand as a
