Encompassing countless chapters of Old Testament Scripture, the tabernacle is often considered an unnecessarily descriptive and archaic historic and architectural oddity. Yet God saw fit to give us these descriptions, to build this story, to construct this theme that would prove so central in the lives of God's chosen people. He wastes nothing. His purposes in this structure and all its many details are pertinent to us, to you. There is meaning and beauty and a distinct, passionate, life changing, spirit combusting, and soul gratifying word for us in the tabernacle. God was thorough and comprehensive; we owe it to the sanctity of His Word to settle ourselves before this ancient structure and find His purpose and passion in it. Find Him in it. Find ourselves in it. Find hope and direction, mercy, faith, and life in it. See the story begin, watch the building arise upon the desert landscape, envision the laborers finding their place within its walls, and discover a sense of belonging as you journey from its ancient beginnings to your own life's purpose.
