Journey Through “The Tabernacle”
TO GET THE MOST OUT OF
THIS “JOURNEY”
“U” MUST BE SPIRITUALLY
PREPARED
Tabernacle With us “LORD”
Desire, it is a dainty word! It were
much that He should satisfy the need,
the want; but He goeth far beyond
that. Pity is moved to meet our need;
duty may sometimes look after our
wants; but to satisfy the desire implies a tender watchfulness, a sweet
and gracious knowledge of us, an
eagerness of blessing.
God is never satisfied until He
has satisfied our desires.
REMEMBER THIS AND LIVE
I WOULD RATHER LIVE
MY LIFE AS IF THERE IS A
GOD, AND DIE TO FIND
OUT THERE ISN’T; THAN
LIVE MY LIFE AS IF
THERE ISN’T, AND DIE TO
FIND OUT THERE IS………

Journey Through “The Tabernacle”
The Veil and The Ark of The Covenant
And the last thing encountered;
is the first thing made
“The Ark Of The Covenant”
Covenant being so very
important to God; is why we
enter into it with Him, and
why He is so easily angered
when we break it!!
>Our word is our Covenant<
>with God<

1. The New Jerusalem…Rev. 21:16
“The city was laid out like a square as long as
it was wide. He measured the city with the rod
and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and
as wide and high as it is long”
The city’s measurements are symbolic of a place that
will hold all God’s people. These measurements are
all multiples of 12, the number for God’s people:
there were 12 tribes in Israel and 12 Apostles who
started the church. The walls are 144 cu (12x12)
200ft thick; there are 12 layers in the walls and, 12
gates in the city, and the height, length, and breadth
are all the same 12,000 stadia (1400 miles). The New
Jerusalem is a perfect cube, the same as the Most
Holy Place in the temple. These measurements
illustrate that this new home will be perfect for us.

God; the Children of Israel were
separated from God by (TheVeil)
2. When you gain entry…
Matt. 27:50,51 “And when Jesus had cried out
again in a loud voice, He gave up His spirit. At

shook and the rocks split”

3. Now it’s on us to approach; the
way is clear…
Heb. 4:14-16 “Therefore, since we have a great high
priest who has gone through the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God,…For we do not have a
high priest who is unable to sympathize with
our weakness,…Let us then approach the
throne of grace with confidence, so that we
may receive mercy and find grace to help us in
our time of need”
Heb. 10:19 “Therefore we have confidence to enter
the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus”

“The poles are to remain in the rings of
this ark; they are not to be removed”
The ark represented the presence of
God and its design is of purity. To touch
such, as unclean as we are, would mean
certain death

Ex. 25:22 “There, above the cover between the two
cherubim that are over the ark of the Testimony, I will meet you and give you My commands

of the whole world”

Me, so that they will not die”

for the generations to come, so they can see the
bread I gave you to eat in the desert when I
brought you out of Egypt…—they ate manna until
they reached the border of Canaan’”

“He humbled you, causing you to hunger
and then feeding you with manna, which
neither you nor your fathers had known,
to teach you that man does not live on

This bread I give is a food for LIFE;

redemption”

surrender and He’ll receive you as His
own!

WHAT IT SAYS
This is my Bible, I am who my Bible say I am,
I can do what my Bible say I can do. I have
what my Bible say I have, my Bible
teaches my spirit, my spirit teaches my
mind, and my mind teaches my body. My
Bible is full of promises and commandments, my Bible has good and bad examples. How do I know my Bible is true? By
comparing scripture with scripture and
spiritual things with spiritual things. I
study my Bible to show myself approved,
rightly dividing the Word of God.
