Well we are knee deep into the building of the tent of meeting and the fashioning of all it's implements. We are also reading about the adornment of the priests and their ordination. I have read this account many times and had often wondered why everything was so exact. I had a hard time trying to picture what everything looked like even after reading God's detailed directions. As I grew in the knowledge of the Lord, I realized that this temple was the forerunner of things to come and how God wants us to worship him and relate to him. There is just so much in these verses.
If you are interested in learning more about the building of the tent of meeting, how everything really looked and its significance as a shadow of things to come, I recommend getting a book entitled A Dwelling Place for God, authored by Ruth Specter Lascelle. It is publisted by Rock of Israel, PO Box 9200, Van Nuys, CA 91409. Rock of Israel is an international ministry committed to reaching the Jewish people with the good news of Messiah. The book is a verse by verse description from Exodus 25-30 of the ancient Hebrew Tabernacle with new convenant applications. It includes drawings of the tent, implements and priestly garments.
