Some Tabernacle Prophesy

A few years ago I sit in a classroom and listen to a women give a report on the Tabernacle. There are a couple of things I would like to pass along. I do not remember The name of the lady so I can not give her the proper credit.

In Exodus 26:7 we see that the curtains were covered with a goats hair curtain. The Bible does not tell us the color of the first tent roof, but other Hebrew writing say it was black. In verse 14 two more coverings are made, the first here is made of rams skin and is dyed red. The next layer is made of Badger skin( or sea cow as some translation say). This layer is said to left white. So when we put them in order the colors are from the bottom are black, red, white. This was to done to show that sin(black) was washed with Blood(red) and makes us spotless(white) in Gods eyes.

The arrangement of the furniture is also a prophesy. As one entered from the East you came first to the Altar of Burnt Offering. In a strait line behind It was the Bronze Laver. The next two items The Table of Showbread, and the Golden Lampstand, which are placed on each side of the Tabernacle. The next was the Altar of Incense placed in a line through the first two. Then the Holy of Holies. If you draw a small drawing of the lay out you find that it forms a cross. You will also see that at the top of the cross is the Most Holy, the very spot where Jesus head would be.

Our Lord was showing the Children of Israel about the death of The Messiah even at this early date. It is hard for me understand how they can not see what He was telling them. Only He Who knows all knows.

Praise God that He made a WAY FOR US.
