—Exodus 40:12-25
by: Stephanie Sholtz.
God established His tabernacle and priesthood so that people would have a way and a place to worship Him. They also provided a way for God to dwell among His people. Because of sin, His presence had to stay in the Holy of Holies where very few could approach and only after serious cleansing rituals. God has always sought a close relationship with His people. This system was the beginning of reestablishing that relationship leading to His walking among us in the person of Jesus and the sending of the Holy Spirit to indwell individual believers.
