WEDNESDAY September 3

In the Midst of His People

God was teaching His people through various means, and one of them
was through the sanctuary. All its services pointed to Jesus; they were object
lessons in the plan of salvation, which would be wrought out through Jesus
many centuries later.

In a pillar of cloud by day, and by night in a pillar of fire night.

Exodus 13:21-22 21 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud
to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by
day and night.
22 He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire by night
from before the people.

Read Exodus 25:1–9. What crucial, practical, and theological truths are seen
in these verses?

Exodus 25:1–9 1 “Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 “Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering. From everyone
who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering.
3 And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, and
bronze;
4 blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and goats’ hair; 5 ram skins dyed
red, badger skins, and acacia wood;
6 oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense;
7 onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate.

8 And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.
9 According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the
pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it.

***READ EGW quote***

Even though God was leading the Israelites and already was close to them, He
instructed Moses to build a sanctuary: “ ‘Then have them make a sanctuary for me,
and I will dwell among them’ ” (Exod. 25:8, NIV). God wanted to show them
tangibly that He indeed was with them. Even though they had done wrong many
times, He had not forsaken them, and “after they were again taken into favor with
Heaven” (Ellen G. White, Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 343), they were given the
divine command, and the process of building the sanctuary began.

***READ EGW quote***

The Bible assures us that God does not live in human-made temples and
buildings (Acts 7:47–50) because He is bigger than the heaven of heavens, and heaven
cannot contain Him. Paul at Areopagus in Athens states: “ ‘The God who made the
world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples
built by human hands’ ” (Acts 17:24, NIV). Also, King Solomon states: “ ‘But will God
indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain
you; how much less this house that I have built!’ ” (1 Kings 8:27, ESV). The sanctuary
was to be where God would manifest His presence to them.

The Israelites were to bring a voluntary offering for the building of the sanctuary.
They were to give precious and expensive gifts, including gold, silver, bronze, acacia
wood, various kinds of fine cloth, olive oil, and spices.

In Exodus 25:10–27:21, we are given many details about the tabernacle and
its services. God provided Moses with a blueprint containing specific instructions on
how to build and furnish the tabernacle, including the ark of the covenant, the
shewbread table, the lampstand, the altars, the curtains, the colors, and the
measurements.
Moses had to build the tabernacle according to the pattern God showed
him (Exod. 25:9, 40; Exod. 26:30), which was a reflection of the heavenly sanctuary
(Heb. 8:1, 2; Heb. 9:11). The earthly sanctuary had served a crucial function until the
death of Jesus and His ministry in the heavenly sanctuary, which rendered the earthly
sanctuary null and void, a truth symbolized by the rending of the curtain before the
Most Holy Place at Christ’s death (Matt. 27:51, Mark 15:38).

Exodus 36:4 4 Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the
sanctuary came, each from the work he was doing,
5 and they spoke to Moses, saying, “The people bring much more than enough
for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us to do.”

Matthew 28:19-20 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,

baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am
with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am
I in the midst of them.

Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and
open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Jhn 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Jhn 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for ever;

John 15:1-4 1 I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.

2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He [a]takes away; and every
branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it
abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost
which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

1Co 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body,
and in your spirit, which are God's.

Hebrews 9:10 6 Now when these things had been thus prepared, the priests
always went into the first part of the tabernacle, performing the services.
7 But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without
blood, which he offered for himself and for the people’s sins committed in
ignorance;
8 the Holy Spirit indicating this, that the way into the Holiest of All was not yet
made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing.
9 It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are
offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to
the conscience—
10 concerned only with foods and drinks, various [washings, and fleshly
ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.

Hebrews 9::11-25 11 But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come,
with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of
this creation.
12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered
the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.
13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the
unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh,
14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit
offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to
serve the living God?
15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of
death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that
those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

Revelation 21:1-4 1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first
heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven
from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God
is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God
Himself will be with them and be their God.

4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more
death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things
have passed away.”
