Two rooms- Tabernacle

     The holy place was the larger of the two rooms.  It housed three pieces of furniture; the table of shewbread .  The bread of His presence, or the dining table on the north side.  The lamp or golden lamp stand on the south side.  A little further back was the altar of incense.  In the smaller room called the holy o holies was the ark of the covenant and the mercy seat.

     There were seven pieces of furniture throughout the Tabernacle which speaks of the perfection of Christ.  Every part of the building, each piece of furniture speaks of the perfection and ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ.  It was a meeting place with God, who was our Tabernacle.  Now Christ lives in us and we commune with Him at any time or any place for He is in us.  Through the person and work of the Holy Spirit.  He came to live inside the believer at Penecost.  The furniture laid out a perfect picture of the cross.  We need to go to the cross for forgiveness for our sins.  Ask for forgiveness for our sins and let the water of His Word, the laver, wash away our sins.  The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sins.  Jesus was picturing for us Calvary in the Old Testament.  Jesus the Messiah would come to die on the cross for our sins.  The furniture was all of the finest gold.  The curtains and hangings for the Tabernacle was made of the most exquisite needle work made of white linen with purple, blue, and scarlet colors in it.   The purple spoke of His royalty.  He was King Of Kings and Lord of Lords.  Blue represents Heaven, He was Heaven's gift to men.  Scarlet was for the blood that would be shed on Calvary. He came to die.

     Have we been to the Holy of Holies to find grace to help in time of need?  Did we drop our burdens at the feet of Jesus and leave them there or did we pick them back up on the way out.  Take your burdens to the cross and leave them there.
