The Most Difficult Blessing in the Wilderness(Exodus 25:1~9)
Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you(9).
Hymn #393 Great is Thy Faithfulness(Unified Hymn 447)
There are many parts of God’s Word that are difficult to comprehend. To Adam, instead of calling him to repent, God gave the covenant of the offspring of the woman. To Noah, He told him to build an ark not by the sea but on a mountain. To Abraham, He told him to leave his home. To Moses, He made him stand before Pharaoh when he was already old in his years. In the wilderness, He told the Israelites to build the tabernacle. Then after 70 years in Babylon, He told them to rebuild the temple. The Early Church faced persecution and every path was blocked, yet God told them to go to all nations, to every people, and to the ends of the earth. When God’s Word doesn’t match your thoughts, you shouldn’t try to change God. Instead, change your own standards. In the tabernacle, God told the Israelites to make the Most Holy Place, where the blessings of Heaven were, and the Holy Place, where earthly blessings were. So, with a joyful heart, they had to follow the detailed directions God gave, offering everything they had to build the tabernacle. The tabernacle was also the place where they enjoyed and carried out the Three Feasts that changed their fates and future.
1. The Bartizan that Breaks Down the Darkness
The tabernacle was the Bartizan that broke down darkness in the wilderness. The Israelites set their direction Centered on the tents around the tabernacle 24 and worshiped around the tent of meeting. They gave offerings to God with joy and enjoyed answers that saved the posterity.
2. The Tabernacle That Gives True Power
The tabernacle was the place where their imprints, roots, and nature were changed. They imprinted the miracles of the Exodus, rooted their faiths in the wilderness, and prepared their nature for Canaan conquest.
3. The Tabernacle of True Answers
Inside the Most Holy place of the tabernacle were the blessings of the Throne, the presence of angels, and the Ark of the Covenant. Without these answers, world evangelization can’t take place. Inside the Holy place were the lampstand, the bread of the Presence, the altar of incense, and the basin. These show the blessings of the Throne, the light of life, spiritual food, the works of the Holy Spirit, and the grace of cleansing.
You must build the temple and open the three courtyards within it, the Three Day Weekend Age, and the age of holy meditation, so that the Remnants can receive the joy and power of 7·7·7 prayer. Then, just as Paul boldly explained the Kingdom of God, when you let go of the standard of yourself and let God be your master, His power will come upon you.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may I receive new grace and power this week. Help me to see Your mysteries Just as you rightfully gave Canaan to the Israelites, I believe You rightfully gave the temple to me as well. Within this, help me properly hold onto my personal covenant. In Jesus Christ’s name, I pray. Amen.
