The Tabernacle Part 4 - I AM NOT ENOUGH PODCAST

In this episode, Krysta and Traci discuss their study of the Tabernacle that God designed and instructed the young nation of Israel to build as they were traveling through the wilderness (see Exodus 25). The sisters share a few of the parallels between the details of the Tabernacle in the Torah and the life of Yeshua (Jesus) as recorded in the Gospel scriptures.

Krysta also shares a brief synopsis of her experience of Purim (see link to service below).

The hosts encourage listeners to read the Bible as a whole story because it helps us to understand the New Testament scriptures more completely. More details and discoveries will be shared in the next episode in 2 weeks. The original sermon referenced in their discussion is linked within the references below.

Key Points:

Yeshua (Jesus) is our ultimate provision. Bread is an offering, and God is reminding us that He has always provided for us and always will.

The menorah lit the way to the Holy of Holies and God’s presence.

Yeshua is God’s menorah; He leads the way to the Father AND shows us the way.

ADONAI wants imitators, not impersonators. First and foremost, Yeshua (Jesus) was obeying his Father.

Yeshua’s aroma was sweet and pleasing to ADONAI; what is our scent giving off?

The Ark was made of Acacia wood, and had gold overlaid inside and out AND is where the Torah was housed.

Acacia wood was considered incorruptible by Jewish people. Gold represented God/deity.

In Exodus 19, God sets Israel apart as his treasured people, expressed like a marriage ceremony, a holy covenant never to be broken.

God is very specific about each part of the tabernacle; the details matter, as they point to His Son and how to dwell in His presence.

Everything that touched the brazen altar became holy, and all who receive (takes hold of) Jesus becomes holy.

The laver, a water basin, was the next step after the altar used for cleansing. Jesus made a way for us to be cleansed from our sin.

Blood was sprinkled on the altar 7 times. Jesus was pierced in 7 places, including the scourging.

The bread of presence was to be placed perpetually in the tent of meeting before God. Jesus is the bread of life, the provision for our eternal spirit to be renewed and to live eternally with God.

Scriptures and Other References Mentioned:

Exodus 25:17-18, 20 “You are to make a cover for the ark out of pure gold; it is to be three-and-three-quarters feet long and two-and-a-quarter feet high. You are to make two k’ruvim of gold. Make them of hammered work for the two ends of the ark-cover. The k’ruvim will have their wings spread out above, so that their wings cover the ark, and their faces are toward each other and toward the ark-cover.”

Romans 3:25 God put Yeshua forward as the kapparah for sin through his faithfulness in respect to his bloody sacrificial death. This vindicated God’s righteousness; because, in his forbearance, he had passed over with neither punishment nor remission the sins people had committed in the past.

John 20:10-12 So the talmidim returned home, but Miryam stood outside crying. As she cried, she bent down, peered into the tomb, and saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Yeshua had been, one at the head and one at the feet.

Exodus 26:1 “You are to make the tabernacle with ten sheets of finely woven linen and with blue, purple and scarlet yarn You are to make them with k’ruvim worked in, that have been crafted by a skilled artisan.”

Exodus 26:31 “You are to make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely woven linen. Make it with k’ruvim worked in, that have been crafted by a skilled artisan.”

Matthew 2:1-2 After Yeshua was born in Beit-Lechem in the land of Y’hudah during the time when Herod was king, Magi from the east came to Yerushalayim and asked, “Where is the newborn King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.”

Mark 10:45 “For the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve—and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Luke 23:47 When the Roman officer saw what had happened, he began to praise God and said, “Surely this man was innocent!”

John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things came to be through him, and without him nothing made had being.

Revelation 5:5, 19:16 One of the elders said to me, “Don’t cry. Look, the Lion of the tribe of Y’hudah, the Root of David, has won the right to open the scroll and its seven seals.” And on his robe and on his thigh he has a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Hebrews 10:19-20 So, brothers, we have confidence to use the way into the Holiest Place opened by the blood of Yeshua. He inaugurated it for us as a new and living way through the parokhet, by means of his flesh.
