I have never before considered the tabernacle and the priesthood together, but this week I have seen something further concerning this: the Lord’s heart’s desire is the building, the main emphasis of the Bible is life and building, and the tabernacle (the building of God) is actually the same as the priesthood (the built up […]
The Emphasis in the Bible is on God’s Building; our Unique Need is to be Built Up
September 23, 2016 by 7 Comments
Christ today is building up His church; God’s goal is His building, and our unique need is for us to be built up. The entire Bible speaks of life and building: God is life, He gives Himself to man as life in the form of food (the tree of life) and drink (the living water) […]
Only when we are Built and Coordinated into the Building can we Serve the Lord

As believers in Christ we are both living stones being built up into a spiritual house and a priesthood that is built up and coordinated into the building of God. In Exodus we see that the goal of God delivering His people from Egypt, bringing them across the Red Sea, giving them heavenly food and drink in […]

After seeing that the entire Bible speaks mainly of life and building, we today come to the matter of the tabernacle and the priesthood: the tabernacle is the priesthood, and the church is both a spiritual house and the priesthood. The basic and central revelation of the Bible are life and building; from Gen. 2 all […]
Seeing that Life and Building are the Basic and Central Revelation of the Bible

The entire Bible speaks of life and building, and when we look at the priesthood in the book of Exodus we realize that it is inseparable from the building of God. As one of the hymns says, holy priests are living stones (see Hymns #849). The building in the type of the tabernacle and the […]
Enjoying and Experiencing Christ for the Church, the Dwelling Place of God (Psa. 84)
September 17, 2016 by 6 Comments
Psa. 84 is very enlightening and encouraging as we try to deepen our study of the tabernacle in the Bible; in this psalm we see the yearning, desire, and love of the psalmist for the house of God, and at the same time we see God’s desire being fulfilled and Him blessing those who are […]
