The Key Verse of the Tabernacle

• Hebrews 924, For Christ is not entered into the
  holy places made with hands, which are the
  figures of the true but into heaven itself, now
  to appear in the presence of God for us
• For Israel, the Tabernacle was instituted for the
  purpose of revealing through object lessons Gods
  plan of redemption. Every part of the Tabernacle
  and all its appointed ministries were to Israel a
  symbol or testimony of the coming Messiah and His
  work of redemption. In the Tabernacle they saw
  Him Who is invisible.

The Tabernacle as a Whole

• The Lord designed His own sanctuary and set it up
  in the midst of Israels camp as His dwelling
  place, meeting place and revealing place. The
  Lord grouped His people as worshipers, workers
  and warriors. The worshipers, the priests, the
  Levites and the workers were encamped close about
  the Tabernacle to minister in and care for the
  Lords tent. The camps of warriors were outside
  to guard the worshipers and the workers.

  the House of the Lord, where His children might

Thoughts on the Foundation

• All needed a ransom. Ex. 3012 with Rom. 323
• Ransom price fixed by God. Ex. 3013
• Ransom is same for all. Ex 3015
• Ransom is personal. Ex. 3014 with Ps. 497
  Also Acts 1630-31. What must I do to be
  saved?
• Ransom only way of acceptance. Ex. 3013 Note
  word shall.
• Ransomed expected to serve. Numbers 145 with
  Psalms 1068. We should want to. Ps 1072
