Take a moment to consider the detailed description of how God wanted His meeting place to be and compare that with the level of detail we’re given in the creation of the world. We know from reading these passages today that every aspect of what was to be included in the Tabernacle was measured to the smallest degree. What about the earth? Did we ever get the circumference of it? How about the sun? The moon? The stars? Any measurements, list of materials, or distances there? No. Why? Could it be because the world we inhabit – while “good” – is seriously insignificant as compared to what God provided as the way to have a a personal and intimate relationship with Him? The Tabernacle was a “copy and shadow” of the heavenly things. How exciting to have this detailed layout! God wanted it “just so” to show us a glimpse of heaven. How amazing to consider that the creator of the universe wasn’t finished when He rested from creation. God went on to provide a way for us to restore what we broke: relationship with Him. Let's be thankful for the minute details of creation and the details of this Tabernacle that point us to the Father.
