The Tabernacle of Israel

By Cuthbert H Dawkins

God graciously gave an illustration of His presence to the Israelites when they were in the desert. It started with a dwelling like their dwellings – a tent. It had an innermost sanctuary where they were to think of the awesome, invisible reality of God holding the words of His bond with them. There was a room representing the daily service of their lives. And there was a courtyard where sacrifices were made. These were most important. The sacrifices represented the end of wrong-doing in death – the death of a substitute animal. And from that the people could have a living and right relationship with God. They could be holy as He was holy.

Publisher’s Note

The main Bible passages in this Study are shown at the start of each of the four Study Parts. However, it may help if you have a separate Bible as you go through each Part, because with an eBook it is difficult to go back to the start of each Part to read the Gospel verses again, and return to the page where you left off.

If you do not have access to a printed Bible (and you may want to read the passages in a different version anyway) you can find free online Bibles of nearly every English version, old and new, on the Bible App you can download at http://www.youversion.com/ or find by entering
