S02E22 - Tabernacle Part I - Exodus 25:10-40; 26:1-37

Join Stephen Armstrong for an in-depth exploration of one of the most significant and detailed sections in the Old Testament: God's divine blueprint for the Tabernacle. This study moves beyond simple architectural plans to reveal the rich tapestry of symbolism woven into every element, showing how this ancient sanctuary serves as a profound and intricate picture of Jesus Christ and His work of redemption.Discover how a part of Scripture that can seem dense with measurements and materials comes alive as a powerful revelation of God's sovereign plan. Key topics covered in this detailed lesson include:The Threefold Purpose: Understanding why God commanded the Tabernacle to be built as His dwelling place (Shekinah Glory), a sanctuary set apart from sin, and the Tent of Meeting where humanity could approach Him.The Heavenly Pattern: Learn how the earthly Tabernacle is a copy and shadow of a greater, real sanctuary in heaven, as explained in the book of Hebrews.Typology vs. Illustration: A clear explanation of how to interpret Old Testament pictures of Christ, distinguishing between direct New Testament-confirmed "types" and useful illustrations.An Inside-Out Journey: The study meticulously follows the biblical text, beginning in the Holy of Holies and moving outward to show how God's presence is central to every other detail.You'll gain a deeper understanding of the specific furniture and structural components, and their prophetic meaning:The Ark of the Covenant & Mercy Seat: Unpack the symbolism of its contents—the law, the manna, and Aaron’s budding rod—and see how the Mercy Seat represents Christ’s propitiation for our sins, making it the representation of The Life.The Table of Showbread: Explore its connection to Jesus as the Bread of Life and the sustaining power of God's Word.The Golden Lampstand (Menorah): See how it pictures Christ as the Light of the World, illuminating the truth found only in God’s Word.The Tabernacle's Structure: Learn the meaning behind the materials, from the silver sockets representing the redemption price, to the incorruptible acacia wood (Christ's humanity) overlaid with pure gold (His divinity), and the plain outer covering (His humble appearance).The Way, the Truth, and the Life: Witness the powerful conclusion where the layout of the Tabernacle—the outer court (The Way), the Holy Place (The Truth), and the Holy of Holies (The Life)—is shown to perfectly mirror Jesus’ famous declaration in John 14:6.Notes: https://media.versebyverseministry.org/images/uploads/exodus_25-26.pdfHandout: https://media.versebyverseministry.org/images/uploads/exodus_25-26_slides.pdfSlides: https://media.versebyverseministry.org/images/uploads/exodus_25-26_slides_%28no_background%29.pdfWeb: https://versebyverseministry.org/lessons/exodus_lesson_25_26This is a Sermon delivered by Pastor Stephen Armstrong, Check out the website for more resources: https://versebyverseministry.org/Follow or Subscribe to not miss a study.**Note: All the episodes this podcast will host are already recorded and available on the website.
