There were other tents carried by other religions at the time, Moses and the Israelites were building the Tabernacle. But, none were anything compared to the Tabernacle Moses was commanded by God to build. It has been said its the most costly building for its size ever to be build. It was forty-five feet long and fifteen feet wide, and only consisted of two rooms. It has been estimated the cost of two million dollars. All its furniture and framework was overlaid with pure gold.
The fence was to keep man out. It was seven and one half feet tall. Too tall for man to climb over and too low for them to crawl under. The fence was suspended on sixty pillars or posts of solid brass. It rested on sockets of brass. Brass was a picture of judgment. The white fence was a picture of the perfect righteousness of Christ. He was spotless without spot or blemish. God had given Moses a picture of what it was to be perfect in the Ten Commandments. No one, but Christ could keep it perfectly. The law demanded perfect obedience. The fence says God is perfect and you can't enter.
The linen fence separated the camp of Israel from the presence of the Lord. It represented the law that said keep out, stay away, you are not good enough to go in.
Titus 3:5 says Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy He saved us... There is no other name given among men,;whereby, we must be saved. The name above every name the name of Jesus.
