It is important to believe that the construction of the Tabernacle was given to Moses on mount Sinai. We must believe that this was the dwelling place of God among the people of Israel as they traveled to the prtomise Land - Cannan. Its construction is as given by the Lord in Exodus 27:9-21.
The Tabernacle consisted of the Outer Court surrounded White Linen hangings suported by 60 Pillars in Bronze sockets and Capitas and tent Pegs; the Holy Place and the Holy of Hollies with the Mercy Seat. The Holy Place and the Holy of Hollies were seperated by a Curtain. Into this Holy of Hollies went the High Priest once a year to offer the blood of the Sacrifice on the Mercy Seat for the remission of the sins of Israel observing all the requirements of the offering according to the Law of faith.
The fence of the Tabernacle measured 100 Cubits in length: about 45m (150 ft.) The width of it was about 50 Cubits : approx. 22.5m (75 ft). The gate of the Tabernacle was woven of blue, purple, and scarlet thread and the fine woven linen. Now entering the gate we would find the Altar of burnt offering, then the Laver and then the Sanctuary ( Tabernacle ). The tebernacle ( Sanctuary ) was built with 48 boards all over laden with Gold and 9 Pillars.
God dwelt inside the Tabernacle built with 48 boards, and manifested His presence to the people of Israel with the pillar of cloud by day and that of Fire by night above the Tabernacle. Inside the Sanctuary wher God dwelt, the glory of God filled the place.
Inside the Holy place, there were the Table of showbread, the lampstand, and the alter of incense. Inside the Holy of Hollies were the Ark of the Testimony and the Mercy Seat. These places were out of bounds to the common man; only the priest and the High priest could enter the places according to their ministries in the Tabernacle. This is telling us only those who have the faith of Gold in today`s age in the gospel of the water and the Spirit can live their lives with God while serving Him.
What then is the spiritual message about the Sanctuary to the true church of God? The brilliance of the inside of the sanctuary and all the utensils overlaid with Gold point to the nature of the faith of the gospel of the water and the Spirit we give back to God in return for the faith of His righteousness for the remission of sins. The sanctuary is the true church of God, and believers of the gospel the water and the Spirit are found in such church because of the remission of sins from the heart of such believers.
In beginning this series I have reached the point of realising that to walk with the Lord in righteousness, we must belong to the church that teaches the truth of the faith of the gospel of the water and the Spirit, for this is the righteousness of God to forgive the sins of mankind and to give the remission of sins committed throughout believers lives on this earth due to the weaknesses of man ( see Rom.8:1-4). The Sanctuary is the true church of God: the church or the family that believes and walk by the faith of the gospel of the water and the Spirit. As we get to follow the significance of the materials and the colours used in the construction of the Tabernacle we could understand the righteousness, Holiness and the Power of God to save mankind because of His love and mercy. Above all, we get to grasp the gospel of Jesus Christ as in Jn.3:5; " Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
