A Specific Way In...

Again we read of the details of how the tabernacle courtyard are to be constructed. The details given to Moses by God are very specific. The tabernacle and courtyard were designed in such a way that people on the outside couldn’t see in. And even more importantly, getting in wasn’t easy. There was a specific procedure to enter. This parallels Heaven. God makes it to where outsiders can’t see in. Those whose hearts that haven’t been regenerated can’t grasp or see into God’s kingdom. And of course, according to the Bible there’s a specific way to enter. No easy access unless one’s heart is right with God (on Jesus’ behalf). Every time I read through this book God reveals more and more to me that I could’ve ever imagined. Wow!!!

9 “Then make the courtyard for the Tabernacle, enclosed with curtains made of finely woven linen. On the south side, make the curtains 150 feet long. 10 They will be held up by twenty posts set securely in twenty bronze bases. Hang the curtains with silver hooks and rings. 11 Make the curtains the same on the north side—150 feet of curtains held up by twenty posts set securely in bronze bases. Hang the curtains with silver hooks and rings. 12 The curtains on the west end of the courtyard will be 75 feet long, supported by ten posts set into ten bases. 13 The east end of the courtyard, the front, will also be 75 feet long. 14 The courtyard entrance will be on the east end, flanked by two curtains. The curtain on the right side will be 22 ½ feet long, supported by three posts set into three bases. 15 The curtain on the left side will also be 22 ½ feet long, supported by three posts set into three bases.16 “For the entrance to the courtyard, make a curtain that is 30  feet long. Make it from finely woven linen, and decorate it with beautiful embroidery in blue, purple, and scarlet thread. Support it with four posts, each securely set in its own base. 17 All the posts around the courtyard must have silver rings and hooks and bronze bases. 18 So the entire courtyard will be 150  feet long and 75  feet wide, with curtain walls 7 ½ feet high, made from finely woven linen. The bases for the posts will be made of bronze.19 “All the articles used in the rituals of the Tabernacle, including all the tent pegs used to support the Tabernacle and the courtyard curtains, must be made of bronze.
