About this episode
As we continue through this section of Exodus, we find ourselves in the middle of God's divine architectural plans for His house, the Tabernacle. We see lists of materials, precise measurements, and detailed instructions for furniture, and we are tempted to think of it as little more than a spiritual inventory list. But to do so is to miss the entire point. This is not a manual for ancient interior decorating. This is the gospel in gold, acacia wood, and linen. Every detail in the Tabernacle is a pointer, a signpost, a shadow pointing to the substance, which is Jesus Christ. When God gives a blueprint, there are no extraneous details. When He specifies a handbreadth here or a gold ring there, He is teaching us something profound about Himself and the nature of the worship He requires.
