Understanding the Tabernacle


2 Onyx Stones12 Different Jewel's


The First things made was the Ark of the Covenant or the Dwelling Place of GodThe Mercy Seat was placed on the Ark of the Covenant

Two Promises Given By God!1. Meet with the Priest2. Commune With the Priest

It is at this place that Father will meet with the New Testament Priest and Commune with them also!

We come to the throne of grace to obtain “Mercy & Grace” for the generation who can’t come to God for themselves. Hebrew Chapter 4!

Understanding the TabernacleThe next thing made was the Table of Shewbread Exodus 25:23‐30

This is the only piece of furniture that had a crown.

There were twelve loaves of shewbread placed on the table.

This table was symbolic of Jesus Christ!

The table also had feet.

Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

Understanding the TabernacleThe Candlestick was the next piece of furniture Exodus 25:31‐40

This piece of furniture speaks of the Holy Ghost who brings lights to the Holy Place who shine light on Jesus who gives us our supply.

This lamp could never go out !It is the exact same way today, He must always burn in our hearts!

We must reconnect with the light and presence of the Holy GhostAll of our help comes form the Holy Ghost

Understanding the TabernacleJohn 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. John 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:John 16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;John 16:10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; John 16:11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. John 16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. John 16:14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. John 16:15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. John 16:16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.


Zechariah 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might,H2428 nor by power,H3581 but by my spirit,H7307 saith the LORD of hosts.

Might H24238strength, efficiency, wealth, army

strength ability, efficiency

wealth force, army

Power H3581strength,

human strength strength (of angels) power (of God)

strength (of animals) strength, produce, wealth (of soil)


Without the Holy Ghost there is no light in the Holy Place.

We must have a personal relationship with the Holy Ghost so that we can see everything that is ours through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Understanding the TabernacleThe Golden Altar of Incense is the next piece of furniture

True prayer can’t take place until the Holy Spirit reveals Jesus and the suppythat is available through Him.

The incense was to also burn daily!

This tells us that we must be in prayer daily through the illumination of the Holy Spirit.

•The Tabernacle was established so that God could dwell with and communicate with the nation.

• Remember, it was the nation that rejected God’s offer to make them a Kingdom of Priest

• God still want to be among them for the sake of fellowship and protection

Exodus 25:8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.

Understanding the Tabernacle• The tabernacle provides a way for God to dwell but He will only dwell on His on terms

• The complete pattern for the tabernacle come from God and it must be followed to the letter

• The tabernacle furniture arranged in the 1‐3‐2 pattern which is the numerical value 132 which is the number for ELOHIYM which this the plural form of GOD indicates that the dwelling and everything about the dwelling is for Him.

• Man was created with the purpose of dwelling with and having fellowship with God!

•Father God has never changed His mind!

•And now He dwells IN man!

•Could it be since the Priestly pattern was changed that the church isn’t walking in the divine power of God?

Understanding the Tabernacle• The tabernacle was built by the entire nation, they brought their offerings unto God for the purpose of building the vision

• God did not allow Israel to spoil the Egyptians so that they would first be rich, but for the purpose of the vision

• Exodus 25:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall)

take my offering.

• These people were moved to give because they realized that what they had didn’t come because of their greatness but because of God

• We haven’t pleaded with God to give us the resources that would help the vision happen, instead we pray for our own issues

Understanding the Tabernacle1Co 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.1Co 12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.1Co 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 1Co 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 1Co 12:5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.1Co 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.

Understanding the Tabernacle1Co 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 1Co 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 1Co 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:1Co 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

From the beginning when the Spirit moved over the earth, He is responsible for the movement in the Kingdom of God!

Let Him Move!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Understanding the TabernacleWho are the men that built the tabernacle and how do they fit into the plan?

The Spirit gave them: Wisdom, Understanding, and Knowledge

Bezaleel – from the tribe of Judah was chief builderThe number of his name is 153

The Number 153 •I am the Lord thy God Ani YHVH Elohikah

•The Passover HaPesach

•He is faithful [Num 12.7] Hua Nameen

•He shall cause to inherit [Deut 1.38] yinchilena

•Sons of God [Gen 6.4] Beni HaElohim

•Side, Part [John 21.6] merai

His name means; In the shadow of God or God is my protection

For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. Isaiah 43.3 (Verse Total is 153)

Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken. John 21.11 (The number of fish is 153)

The number of fish in the nets has to do with the end time harvest. I believe that Bezaleel name and number of his names gives the church great insight into how God will built His end time church and reach the end time harvest.

On the West‐‐‐‐‐ Ephraim, Manasseh and Benjamin (888)

On the North‐‐‐‐‐ Dan, Asher and Naphtali

On the South ‐‐‐‐‐ Rueben, Simeon and Gad

Understanding the TabernacleRev 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightning's and thundering and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne,which are the seven Spirits of God.

Rev 4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

Rev 4:7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

Also See: Ezekiel Chapter 1


The encampment around the tabernacle was represented by the lead tribe

Judah, Ephraim, Dan and Rueben

Understanding the TabernacleJudah = Lion

Ephraim = Ox

Dan = Eagle

Rueben = ManSee Handout for encampment diagram

Understanding the TabernacleThe encampment does not allow the people to see clearly the pattern!

It is only seen from God’s vantage point.

When Moses goes up on the mount he can see what is coming and how man will truly be able to commune with God!

The Cross!


In front of each set of tribes were one of the divisions of the Priesthood

Aaron and SonsIn Front of Judah

MeraritesIn Front of Dan

GershonitesIn Front of Ephraim

KohathitesIn Front of Rueben


•Merari means Bitter

•Gershon means Exile

•Kohath means AssemblyGen 46:11 And the sons of Levi; Gershon,

Kohath, and Merari.

Understanding the Tabernacle• Merari was responsible for the solid framework of the buildings, the pillars, with the sockets of silver and brass

• The Gershonites care for the curtains, hanging and coverings which they carried during the journeys

• The Kohathites carried the holy vessels

Understanding the TabernacleWe saw the fact that the entire nation was positioned around the Tabernacle in the form of the Cross! (See Diagram)

The new diagram reveals the fact that the furniture in the Tabernacle is across Set up in the form of the Cross! (See Diagram)

This Cross can not be seen even from higher elevations because it is hidden under the badger skins.

This is the presence and power of the cross inside our hearts.

Understanding the TabernacleThere were three Kingdoms used to build the Tabernacle:

Animal KingdomPlant Kingdom

Mineral KingdomGen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Gen 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

Gen 2:11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; Gen 2:12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.


• The Ark Of The Covenant There are 3 Arks found in the bible!

• The Ark does not work if it doesn’t have the presence of God dwelling on it!

• It is only an empty box • God dwells there because it is designed for Him in the way He wants it to be designed

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a livingG2198 sacrificeG2378 (Thusia) , holy, acceptable unto God,which is your reasonable service.

A large portion of the church has not moved beyond this point in their approach to God!

They are converted, They sacrifice, They acknowledge Priestly leadership and They give of their resources!

When we meet these believers they are limited in their knowledge of God and His kingdom realities. It can shock us that they are so limited!

We think they need to be in another church, when they only need to move forward to the next piece of furniture.

If we can, it is our job to help them read the bible with purpose.

Understanding the TabernacleThe Brazen Laver

•The LAVER had no measurements associated with it• It was designed for the Priest use only

•It wasn’t used unto the Lord•It wasn’t used unto the people

• It was fully water and the Priest washed all blood from the sacrifice from his body• He also used the water to wash his feet

•In transit the Altar would swing from side to side, much like a censor in someone's hand•The swinging means this principle must be in operation even in our travel and movement of ministry•The two rings indicate that it takes the Holy Spirit and Jesus to help us in our prayer life


Because of where the Altar is positioned when the tabernacle is constructed, we can see that it is the closes thing to the Ark of the Covenant and the glory of God!

This is also the end of the Holy Place before entering into the Most Holy Place.

Speaking of the prayer that the Priest would have to offer in the end timesHoly Place measurements

10 x 10 x 20 = 2000 cubitsThe church age has been for 2000 years and we are at the end

Understanding the TabernacleRev 8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.Rev 8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.Rev 8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayersG4335 of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.Rev 8:4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel‘s hand.Morning and Evening the Priest had to attend to the Altar

Psa 55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

The two things that had to happen daily by the Priest was to supply the Oil for the lamps and the burning of the Incense

Understanding the TabernacleFive Ingredients in the sweet Incense:

Stacte‐ is a fragrant sap gum from a tree. Stacte means “to drop or to distill”

It had to be crushed fine to be apart of the Incense

Onycha‐ was a ground shell taken from the red seaIt fragrance came from what it ateIt had to be crushed fine also

Galbanum‐ was also a sap that came from a plant A bitter sap used to drive away insectsIf had to be crushed fine also

Frankincense‐ white in color and comes from the sap of a treeWhite (Purity and righteousness)

Salt‐ acts as both a seasoning and a preservativePure, tasty and grace (The lasting affect of the salt)


Incense had to be:

Sweet‐ Christ’s ministry was filled with sweetness

Pure‐ Christ was absolutely pure

Holy‐ Christ ministered in absolute holiness and sinlessness

Perpectual‐ Jesus ministers in the power of an endless life. He ever lives to make intercession for us

Perfume‐ Jesus was fragant in His whole being


• Jesus was crushed – He had to experience bitterness– The fragrance came forth from HIS life– He is the righteous one– He is the one that is keeping us

Amen!
