10: The Covenant and Blueprint — Teaching Plan — 2 Comments

  1. I just still do not understand why God is giving Moses such complete detail about building the Sanctuary (as teaching devices) ? Thank you

    • Hello Robert! You ask a good and pertinent question. Psalm 77:13 makes a declaration and asks a rhetorical question. The first part of the verse declares that the way(s) of God are revealed in the Sanctuary. Meaning that God reveals Who He is through the Sanctuary. Everything about the Sanctuary service pointed to how God was going to deal with the sin issue. This is why so much detail was given to Moses. Our God is a God of order and detail. Nothing that He does is accidental, but deliberate and for a specific purpose. Sadly, the Sanctuary service denigrated into a ritual when all along it was designed to be God's "show and tell" about the plan of Salvation and deliverance from sin. This also reveals much about the character of our God. He actually devised a way for lost sinners to be reconciled to Himself. The study of the Sanctuary is a fruitful and beautiful study when understood. The interesting thing is that in John's vision of the New Jerusalem he states that there isn't a temple. (Rev. 21:22) Why would that be? Could it be because the sin problem has been dealt with and is in the past? There is no longer a need for a Temple in the New Jerusalem because the "sin problem," no longer exists. The Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are now it temple. They are literally tabernacling, or dwelling, in the presence of redeemed mankind.

      Everything about the Sanctuary is for point, nothing is of no consequence. "Who is like our God?" Psalm 77:11 No one in all of Creation is like our great and glorious God.

      I hope that I helped to answer your question.
