Daily Devotional Day 86

God speaks to us in the paradigm of the Tabernacle of Moses. He takes the natural elements of creation and transforms them into a symbolic language to depict eternal truth about humans and how we operate.

The Tabernacle becomes God's secret code for revealing truth to the sincere seeker of God and a restoration of the voice of God. In fact the whole of the Mosaic system becomes God's tool to teach Divine truth to the people of God in order to build relationship back with Him and to return to the garden experience in our personal lives.

The New Testament gives the doctrinal exposition of the types and symbols of the old. These symbols are abstract statements of truth that are much easier to understand if the visible form of the Tabernacle is used as an example and type.

The Tabernacles are full of illustrative types and shadows that involve the substance of the Christian's transformation to perfection and completion. All these things were object lessons and material examples of spiritual truths.

Studying these spiritual truths by using the Tabernacle model helps us to see and understand the inner workings of the human being and the process of transformation. God gave us a picture, a model of this to show us the way.

As we continue to study this paradigm, ask the Holy Spirit to give you a revelation of its truth. Pray, Lord, make me a living Tabernacle for your presence.
