The tabernacle is constructed in accordance with all the detailed instructions the Lord had given Moses. Since the tabernacle was a physical model of spiritual things to come, the details were purposeful and necessary to follow even if the artisans did not understand the reason why. We examine the importance of following God’s commands even when we don’t fully understand the reason. The book of Exodus closes with the glory of the Lord filling the tabernacle, transforming it into something spectacular: a house of prayer for all nations, and a model of the church to come, in which God’s spirit shall dwell.
