The Tabernacle of Moses and the temple of Solomon lay before us a pathway into God's presence that finds its fullness and reality in the New Testament.
The Tabernacle comprised:
The Brazen Altar: This was a place of judgement, picturing the cross of Christ.
The Brazen Laver: A place of cleansing, picturing for us the washing of water by the Word.
The Seven Branched Candlestick: Pictures for us the light of revelation and the seven fold Holy Spirit (Isaiah 11)
The Table of Shewbread: Picturing for us Jesus, the bread of life, the sustaining Word of God.
The Altar of Incense: Symbolising prayer, praise and worship being lifted toward God.
The Ark of the Covenant: Picturing the place of God's presence and habitation, where He speaks intimately to us.
Through the blood of Jesus this whole avenue has been opened to us. We are invited into the very intimate presence of God the holy of holies.
Tabernacle prayer explains how the born again Christian can come into this present reality. Through the death and resurrection of Christ the holy of holies has been opened to all who will believe.
The Tabernacle pictures a pathway of approach to God's presence which now finds its reality in the New Covenant through Christ. Through application of New Testament reality to the Old Testament picture in the Tabernacle of Moses, a profound and holy pathway of prayer is opened to the believing soul, which when practiced transforms the pray-er and ushers him or her into the very presence of God to hear Him speak intimatley to their heart.
