Indeed, if we follow the model of the Tabernacle, it is a model for our entire lives, both in our hearts and our outward actions. If we purify the Temple of our hearts, trust, and practice the commands He gives us for the operations therein, the glory of God will enter in( Exodus 40, 1 Kings 8:10-11). Then we will have the presence and relationship with God that we so desire. I personally believe that God intended the physical commands, layout, and functions of the Tabernacle to teach us about our own hearts in many of the ways I have described. In the next two parts of this series,
I want to further explore these themes of the Temple, the people of God, and God’ s glory. Ultimately, we shouldn ' t just want to study this academically, or with a mere curiosity of interest. Instead, we will study this for the purpose of understanding what it means about our own identities, our hearts, and our relationship to Almighty God.
