The Tabernacle had to be able to be dismantled. God’s wonderful plans for His first earthly house obviously were designed for the type of life they lived. There has never been another nation with whom God had such a personal relationship.

BIBLE STUDY EXPOSED
Imagine taking a cross section of the tabernacle, or better still, imagine yourself on the roof of the completed tabernacle and peeling it away layer by layer from the outside heading in.
The first covering we encounter are the hides of sea cows. From the outside that would be all we see. Not very appealing really. A dark grey covering, nothing to look at, but very practical and weatherproof. Exploring the layers of the tabernacle is a lot like exploring God's word. From the outside it looks like hard work, heavy going, but we can see or have heard of, it's practical benefits.
Let's peel back this layer and see what is underneath. The fist thing we notice is a colour change. The underneath layer is of rams skins dyed red. This is significant in that it takes us to the next level in our Bible study, showing us the Lamb of God whose blood was shed in order that God's people could be forgiven and live.
Curtains of goat hair are found as the layer under the red ram skins. They give us another colour change from red to white. Here we begin to see, as we explore God's word, God's holiness, righteousness and purity.
Then we come to the final cover, the one we have had to dig to find. This is where it gets really exciting as the glory of God, his beauty and majesty is revealed. This is where we see intricate patterns and splendour we would never have imagined. But exploring God's word is only the beginning. On lifting the last layer of the Tabernacle, the glory of God himself, his Son and his light are revealed to us in person.

Exo 26:1-30 The Tabernacle was designed to emphasise the oneness of the whole tabernacle. Complete unity in all its parts The 10 curtains of fine twined linen were coupled together in order that “it shall be one Tabernacle “(Ex 26:1-6.). The 11 curtains, covering (<168> - tent) the tabernacle (<4908> - dwelling place) were coupled together “that it may be one”(Ex.26:11). Five bars were used to hold each wall of the gold covered shittim wood boards together (Ex.26:26-28). The candlestick was “one beaten work of pure gold” (Ex.25:36).
The lesson is clear for us today. If the ecclesia is to be an acceptable place for God to be among His people, our aim must be to seek harmony by being of one mindaround the Word of Truth.
That “ye be perfectly joined togetherin the same mind and in the same judgment.”(1Cor.1:10) in ecclesial life.
“In whom all the building fitly framed togethergroweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:” (Eph.2:21)
“…the whole body fitly joined togetherand compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.” (Eph.4:16).

SOMETIMES BAD THINGS HAPPEN
God's people are not exempt from bad things happening to them. In Psalm 79 and Psalm 80 we read of Israel and Jerusalem brought to their knees by foreign invaders. The children of Israel, the people of Jerusalem and Judah were all God's special chosen people. They took a special place in the heart of God. He gave them a land flowing with milk and honey but they sinned against God and failed to uphold their side of the covenant. They had promised to obey God, to have him as their only God, but instead had rejected him and worshipped and served idols instead of the living God. So God did what he said he would do if his people were unfaithful and he brought other armies against them to bring them to their knees and to turn them back to the living God. Israel and Judah suffered greatly under the attacks of these other nations and eventually they were taken from that land altogether.
Even though Israel and Judah were God's special people, they still suffered and bad things happened to them. Even though we are Christians bad things may happen to us too. When they do, let us humble ourselves and accept God's way knowing that in the end we will be with those who will praise him for ever.

The use of the Heb. word "paniym" in the KJV (Strng) <6440> in 6 different verses of this Psalm, vv. 2 and 9 - transl. 'before'; 3, 7 and 19 - transl. 'face'; v. 16 - 'countenance' are from the Hb. paniym which is a noun in the plural (altho always used as a singular). In its translation into the English word 'face' I'm reminded of the 'faces of the cherubim' over the mercy seat. Thus the shining of Gods presence from His 'throne' which we see embodied in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Expanding upon the 'shine' of God's 'face' we are reminded of Moses' face in Exo 34:29,30,35 when he came down from the Mt. with the two tables of stone which God had given him and his face shone. And Matt 17:2 in the transfiguration of Jesus where his face did shine as the sun and Moses and Elijah were seen with him in the kingdom. All three constituents of the multitudinous body of the Christ in glory...upon a multitude of thrones in the Kingdom of God, disciples ruling over the twelve tribes of Israel Matt 19:28
In its translation into the English word 'face' I'm reminded of the 'faces of the cherubim' over the mercy seat. Thus the shining of Gods presence from His 'throne' which we see embodied in our Lord Jesus Christ.

16. It is burned <8313>(8803) with fire <784>, it is cut down <3683>(8803): they perish <6>(8799) at the rebuke <1606> of thy countenance <6440>.

19. Turn us again <7725>(8685), O LORD <3068> God <430> of hosts <6635>, cause thy face <6440> to shine <215>(8685); and we shall be saved <3467>(8735).

Willingly ignoring details
The people flocking onto the streets had done their homework. Isaiah 9:9 speaks of Israel's king coming to Jerusalem riding on a donkey. None of them missed this symbolic act. And naturally they assumed that the rest of the chapter in Isaiah would be fulfilled too; namely the removal of the Roman occupier.
v8 I will camp around my house because of the army
|
v8 no more will an oppressor pass through them
|
v9 your King is coming to you
|
v11 I will set your prisoners free
|
v13 I have bent Judah, my bow
|
v14 His arrow will go forth like lightning
|
v15 The LORD of armies will defend them
|
v16 The LORD their God will save them in that day
|
But this shows how important it is to notice the detail of scripture and not twist it to our own biased outlook. The Jews failed to notice (or ignored) v10 "he shall speak peace to the nations". So when Jesus came to Jerusalem, and to the Temple which was "a house of prayer for all nations" he fulfilled the scripture by clearing a place in the temple courtyard for the Gentiles to worship. The rest would have to come later.

2. And <2532> saith <3004>(5719) unto them <846>, Go your way <5217>(5720) into <1519> the village <2968> over against <2713> you <5216>: and <2532> as soon as <2112> ye be entered <1531>(5740) into <1519> it <846>, ye shall find <2147>(5692) a colt <4454> tied <1210>(5772), whereon <1909> <3739> never <3762> man <444> sat <2523>(5758); loose <3089>(5660) him <846>, and bring <71>(5628) him.
3. And <2532> if <1437> any man <5100> say <2036>(5632) unto you <5213>, Why <5101> do ye <4160>(5719) this <5124>? say ye <2036>(5628) that <3754> the Lord <2962> hath <2192>(5719) need <5532> of him <846>; and <2532> straightway <2112> he will send <649>(5692) him <846> hither <5602>.
4. And <1161> they went their way <565>(5627), and <2532> found <2147>(5627) the colt <4454> tied <1210>(5772) by <4314> the door <2374> without <1854> in <1909> a place where two ways met <296>; and <2532> they loose <3089>(5719) him <846>.
5. And <2532> certain of them <5100> that stood <2476>(5761) there <1563> said <3004>(5707) unto them <846>, What <5101> do ye <4160>(5719), loosing <3089>(5723) the colt <4454>?
6. And <1161> they said <2036>(5627) unto them <846> even as <2531> Jesus <2424> had commanded <1781>(5662): and <2532> they let <863> <0> them <846> go <863>(5656).
7. And <2532> they brought <71>(5627) the colt <4454> to <4314> Jesus <2424>, and <2532> cast <1911> <0> their <848> garments <2440> on <1911>(5627) him <846>; and <2532> he sat <2523>(5656) upon <1909> him <846>.
8. And <1161> many <4183> spread <4766>(5656) their <848> garments <2440> in <1519> the way <3598>: and <1161> others <243> cut down <2875>(5707) branches <4746> off <1537> the trees <1186>, and <2532> strawed <4766>(5707) them in <1519> the way <3598>.
9. And <2532> they that went before <4254>(5723), and <2532> they that followed <190>(5723), cried <2896>(5707), saying <3004>(5723), Hosanna <5614>; Blessed <2127>(5772) is he that cometh <2064>(5740) in <1722> the name <3686> of the Lord <2962>:
10. Blessed <2127>(5772) be the kingdom <932> of our <2257> father <3962> David <1138>, that cometh <2064>(5740) in <1722> the name <3686> of the Lord <2962>: Hosanna <5614> in <1722> the highest <5310>.
11. And <2532> Jesus <2424> entered <1525>(5627) into <1519> Jerusalem <2414>, and <2532> into <1519> the temple <2411>: and <2532> when he had looked round about upon <4017>(5671) all things <3956>, and now <2235> the eventide <3798> <5610> was come <5607>(5752), he went out <1831>(5627) unto <1519> Bethany <963> with <3326> the twelve <1427>.
12. And <2532> on the morrow <1887>, when they <846> were come <1831>(5631) from <575> Bethany <963>, he was hungry <3983>(5656):
13. And <2532> seeing <1492>(5631) a fig tree <4808> afar off <3113> having <2192>(5723) leaves <5444>, he came <2064>(5627), if <1487> haply <686> he might find <2147>(5692) any thing <5100> thereon <1722> <846>: and <2532> when he came <2064>(5631) to <1909> it <846>, he found <2147>(5627) nothing <3762> but <1508> leaves <5444>; for <1063> the time <2540> of figs <4810> was <2258>(5713) not <3756> yet.
14. And <2532> Jesus <2424> answered <611>(5679) and said <2036>(5627) unto it <846>, No man <3367> eat <5315>(5630) fruit <2590> of <1537> thee <4675> hereafter <3371> for <1519> ever <165>. And <2532> his <846> disciples <3101> heard <191>(5707) it.
15. And <2532> they come <2064>(5736) to <1519> Jerusalem <2414>: and <2532> Jesus <2424> went <1525>(5631) into <1519> the temple <2411>, and began <756>(5662) to cast out <1544>(5721) them that sold <4453>(5723) and <2532> bought <59>(5723) in <1722> the temple <2411>, and <2532> overthrew <2690>(5656) the tables <5132> of the moneychangers <2855>, and <2532> the seats <2515> of them <846> that sold <4453>(5723) doves <4058>;
16. And <2532> would <863> <0> not <3756> suffer <863>(5707) that <2443> any man <5100> should carry <1308>(5632) any vessel <4632> through <1223> the temple <2411>.
17. And <2532> he taught <1321>(5707), saying <3004>(5723) unto them <846>, Is it <1125> <0> not <3756> written <1125>(5769), <3754> My <3450> house <3624> shall be called <2564>(5701) of all <3956> nations <1484> the house <3624> of prayer <4335>? but <1161> ye <5210> have made <4160>(5656) it <846> a den <4693> of thieves <3027>.
18. And <2532> the scribes <1122> and <2532> chief priests <749> heard <191>(5656) it, and <2532> sought <2212>(5707) how <4459> they might destroy <622>(5692) him <846>: for <1063> they feared <5399>(5711) him <846>, because <3754> all <3956> the people <3793> was astonished <1605>(5712) at <1909> his <846> doctrine <1322>.
19. And <2532> when <3753> even <3796> was come <1096>(5633), he went <1607>(5711) out of <1854> the city <4172>.
20. And <2532> in the morning <4404>, as they passed by <3899>(5740), they saw <1492>(5627) the fig tree <4808> dried up <3583>(5772) from <1537> the roots <4491>.
21. And <2532> Peter <4074> calling to remembrance <363>(5679) saith <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, Master <4461>, behold <2396>, the fig tree <4808> which <3739> thou cursedst <2672>(5662) is withered away <3583>(5769).
22. And <2532> Jesus <2424> answering <611>(5679) saith <3004>(5719) unto them <846>, Have <2192>(5720) faith <4102> in God <2316>.
23. For <1063> verily <281> I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, That <3754> whosoever <3739> <302> shall say <2036>(5632) unto this <5129> mountain <3735>, Be thou removed <142>(5682), and <2532> be thou cast <906>(5682) into <1519> the sea <2281>; and <2532> shall <1252> <0> not <3361> doubt <1252>(5686) in <1722> his <848> heart <2588>, but <235> shall believe <4100>(5661) that <3754> those things which <3739> he saith <3004>(5719) shall come to pass <1096>(5736); he <846> shall have <2071>(5704) whatsoever <3739> <1437> he saith <2036>(5632).
24. Therefore <1223> <5124> I say <3004>(5719) unto you <5213>, What <3745> things <3956> soever <302> ye desire <154>(5731), when ye pray <4336>(5740), believe <4100>(5720) that <3754> ye receive <2983>(5719) them, and <2532> ye <5213> shall have <2071>(5704) them.
25. And <2532> when <3752> ye stand <4739>(5725) praying <4336>(5740), forgive <863>(5720), if <1536> <0> ye have <2192>(5719) ought <1536> against <2596> any <5100>: that <2443> your <5216> Father <3962> also <2532> which <3588> is in <1722> heaven <3772> may forgive <863>(5632) you <5213> your <5216> trespasses <3900>.
26. But <1161> if <1487> ye <5210> do <863> <0> not <3756> forgive <863>(5719), neither <3761> will <863> <0> your <5216> Father <3962> which <3588> is in <1722> heaven <3772> forgive <863>(5692) your <5216> trespasses <3900>.
27. And <2532> they come <2064>(5736) again <3825> to <1519> Jerusalem <2414>: and <2532> as he <846> was walking <4043>(5723) in <1722> the temple <2411>, there come <2064>(5736) to <4314> him <846> the chief priests <749>, and <2532> the scribes <1122>, and <2532> the elders <4245>,
28. And <2532> say <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, By <1722> what <4169> authority <1849> doest thou <4160>(5719) these things <5023>? and <2532> who <5101> gave <1325>(5656) thee <4671> this <5026> authority <1849> to <2443> do <4160>(5725) these things <5023>?
29. And <1161> Jesus <2424> answered <611>(5679) and said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, I will <1905> <0> also <2504> ask <1905>(5692) of you <5209> one <1520> question <3056>, and <2532> answer <611>(5676) me <3427>, and <2532> I will tell <2046>(5692) you <5213> by <1722> what <4169> authority <1849> I do <4160>(5719) these things <5023>.
30. The baptism <908> of John <2491>, was <2258>(5713) it from <1537> heaven <3772>, or <2228> of <1537> men <444>? answer <611>(5676) me <3427>.
31. And <2532> they reasoned <3049>(5711) with <4314> themselves <1438>, saying <3004>(5723), If <1437> we shall say <2036>(5632), From <1537> heaven <3772>; he will say <2046>(5692), Why <1302> then <3767> did ye <4100> <0> not <3756> believe <4100>(5656) him <846>?
32. But <235> if <1437> we shall say <2036>(5632), Of <1537> men <444>; they feared <5399>(5711) the people <2992>: for <1063> all <537> men counted <2192>(5707) John <2491>, that <3754> he was <2258>(5713) a prophet <4396> indeed <3689>.
33. And <2532> they answered <611>(5679) and said <3004>(5719) unto Jesus <2424>, We <1492> <0> cannot <3756> tell <1492>(5758). And <2532> Jesus <2424> answering <611>(5679) saith <3004>(5719) unto them <846>, Neither <3761> do I <1473> tell <3004>(5719) you <5213> by <1722> what <4169> authority <1849> I do <4160>(5719) these things <5023>.
