Easter//the Tabernacle

Having been on vacation for the past two weeks and still away, I have been some time since I have given some more thoughts on the subject at hand, that being the tabernacle. Also being this is the Easter weekend and churches meeting all over the world to commemorate the Ressurection of our Lord, I feel that I should offer something regarding the resurrection as it is portrayed in the Tabernacle. After all, it is God's pattern for us to live by as we see the portraying of the Plan of Salvatiion in the very construction of it.


We have been studying the furnishings to date and some of the ceremonial rituals associated with them and it is time to proceed with further study and I shall begin with the foundation of the structure and that is found in Exodus ch. 26 and in particular the portion regarding the boards and sockets. The boards speaks of humanity and the silver sockets speak of redemption

Jesus purchased redemption for you and I when He went to the cross as represented in the sacrifices on the Brazen Altar of Sacrifice and there we see the cross represented where Jesus shed His own blood at Easter time for you and for me as well as every man, woman and child who ever lived. That includes 1.2 billion in India; that includes something over 1.3 billion in China and billions more around the world. Flesh and blood is not our enemy today but rather we should love and pray for all men everywhere because Jesus died for each and every one. He gave His life as a ransom and we see that in the sockets of silver that supported the boards of the Tabernacle. Judas betrayed his Lord for thirty pieces of silver. What would you or I betray our Lord for or would we like Peter say "I will never forsake You' Lord."
