Exodus 25:1-10
If I told you there was something in the Bible that God spent 50 chapters describing and detailing, would you think it was important to Him? Of course you would! Then let me ask you this: if it's important to God, should it be important to you? Of course it should!
Somebody says, ''Ernest, what was so important to God that He spend 50 chapters of His Word describing and detailing it for us and what makes it so important to us?''
Let me see if I can answer the where, the what and the way.
Lets begin with the where? Where are these 50 chapters anyway?
*13 chapters are in Exodus.
*18 chapters are in Leviticus.
*13 chapters are in Numbers.
*2 chapters are in Deuteronomy.
*4 chapters are in Hebrews.
If my math is correct, that adds up to 50 chapters! That's the where! But what you really want to know is the what. What was so important to God that should be important to us that covers 50 chapters in His word?
Well, the what is the tabernacle, that portable worship center of the children of Israel that went with them those 40 years in the wilderness as they made their way to the Promised Land from Egypt and then set up and used at Shiloh for another 369 years after they entered the Promised Land until the Temple was built in Jerusalem.
Now you say, ''All right Ernest, that's the where and the what, but why was the tabernacle so important to God that He spent 50 chapters describing and detailing it and why is it important to us?''
Here's why the tabernacle is important to us: it shows how a sinful person can go to heaven! If all we had from God was the tabernacle, (No New Testament, no John 3.16, no Romans 8.28, no Revelation 3.10) we would have all we needed to know how to go to heaven! No wonder God spent 50 chapters describing and detailing the tabernacle to Moses.
For the next several weeks we're going to be learning ho ...
