Exodus at a Glance
The Tabernacle: A Model of the Real
Designations of the Tabernacle:
“Dwelling place”
“Holy place, Sanctuary”
“Tent of meeting/appointment”
“The house of Yahweh”
“The palace of Yahweh”
The Nature of the Tabernacle as a Model of
a Heavenly Reality
Exod. 25:8–9
. And let them make me a
sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst.
9
Exactly as I show you concerning the pattern of
the tabernacle, and of all its furniture, so you
shall make it.
Heb. 9:23–24
. Thus it was necessary for the
copies of the heavenly things to be purified with
these rites, but the heavenly things themselves
with better sacrifices than these.
24
For Christ has
entered, not into holy places made with hands,
which are copies of the true things, but into
heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of
God on our behalf.
The Design of the Tabernacle
The Revealed Purpose of the Tabernacle
A meeting place with God by atonement through
which to receive his Word (25:1–2)
A Context for Israel to be brought to God’s
regular remembrance (28:29–30)
The Revealed Purpose of the Tabernacle
A meeting place with God by atonement through
which to receive his Word (25:1–2)
A Context for Israel to be brought to God’s
regular remembrance (28:29–30)
The means for Israel through their sacrifices to
be declared holy to Yahweh and thus escape his
wrath (28:36–38)
The means for the priests to serve the people
before Yahweh without dying (28:35, 42–43;
30:20–21)
The means for Israel to know God rightly and to
enjoy lasting relationship with him (29:44–46)
Israel’s Great Failure and Yahweh’s
Amazing Mercy (Exod 32–34)
Israel’s Idolatry and Stubbornness
Israel’s stubborn state and the problem with
God’s glory presence (32:9; 33:3, 5; 34:9)
The mission of God is at stake (34:15–16)
Moses’ Request and the Revelation of Yahweh’s
Nature
Exod. 33:18–19; 34:5–7
. Moses said, “Please show
me your glory.”
19
And [Yahweh] said, “I will
make all my goodness pass before you and will
proclaim before you my name ‘Yahweh.’ And I
will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and
will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.”…
34:6
Yahweh passed before him and proclaimed,
“Yahweh, Yahweh, a God merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and
faithfulness,
7
keeping steadfast love for thousands,
forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but
who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the
iniquity of the fathers on the children and the
children’s children, to the third and the fourth
generation.”
Moses’ Plea (34:9)
Conclusion:
In response to Moses’ prayer, the covenant was
renewed (34:10–35) and the Tabernacle materials
were gathered and the whole constructed (35:1–
40:33)
Then Yahweh graciously filled the Tabernacle with
his glory (40:34–38)
The Lasting Significance of Yahweh’s Dwelling in
Sacred Space:
Stressed Yahweh’s covenant commitment to his
people
Stressed Yahweh’s passion for his own witness and
reputation
Stressed the holiness of God’s presence and all he
touches
Stressed hope for God’s people, even as sinners, to
encounter the holy God.
Dive into the significance of the Tabernacle in the Old Testament, its designations, nature as a model of heavenly reality, purpose as a meeting place with God, and the means it provided for Israel to approach God and maintain a relationship with Him.
