The Tabernacle Numbers

     The structure of the Tabernacle was held up by sixty columns.  Two ropes supported the columns.  Sixty is the number of the bloodline from Adam to Jesus Christ.  Jesus is revealing information in everything about the Tabernacle.  One hundred and twenty ropes held up the sixty posts.  God gave mankind one hundred and twenty years to get their act together and repent of their sins.  He promised if they didn't the flood would come.  God is laying out pictures in constructing the Tabernacle to teach us Bible lessons.  He is a merciful God that is long suffering not willing that any should perish, but all come to repentance.  Moses lived to be one hundred and twenty years.  God had one hundred and twenty priest blowing one hundred and twenty trumpets.  In the New Testament there are one hundred and twenty in the Upper Room at the day of Pentecost.  All of them received power from on high.  Priest called the ropes the Word and the Spirit both are needed to keep us upright.  Without these two we would get lost in this messed up world.  God is revealing facts and things about Him that should be remembered .  A book reminding us of the past and wisdom for the future.
     Let's pray to be a joy to the heart of God.  Who has been such a joy to us.

Today the Tabernacle is Within Us
     If we have trusted Jesus as our Savior, the Tabernacle lives within us.  We are His people and Christ lives within us.  We die inside to the old selfish way of reacting to circumstances and have the mind of Christ.
    Jesus brings us to the brazen altar within and says die to self and live for me.  Take up your cross daily and follow me.  Love the unlovely, pray for them that despitefully use you, and make your life miserable.  Go to the shewbread of my presence and learn of me.  Get what you need and go take it to a lost and dying world.  Feed them around you with the Word of the Living God.  The bread from above will build you up and sustain you.  It will keep you strong, when the pressures around you are trying to pull you down.  Jesus is faithful fasten your soul to Him and to His promises that never changes.  He will carry you through.
Psalms 3:5  I lay down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.   Lord bless us and cause us to be a blessing to all we meet.  Thank you Lord for hearing our prayer.  In Jesus name Amen.
