the tabernacle pointed forward to Christ.
The completion of the Tabernacle is an
external pledge of the permanence of
the Covenant of Grace. The God of
deliverance (the Lord) has taken up
His abode in the midst of His people.
Yet, they are excluded from immediate
access into His presence by the vail
which shut o the most Holy place to
all but the high priest and to him also,
save on the Day of Atonement.
Through endeavor to obey the Sinaitic
legislation the people would be taught
their need of a Mediator, a Mediator
who would combine the prophetic
o ce of Moses and the priestly o ce
of Aaron. Thus, the arrangements of
the
Tabernacle
were
typical,
preparatory for the one Sacri ce that
has taken away the sins of the world.14
The key phrase of the closing paragraph of
Exodus is “glory of the LORD.” Whereas the
book had opened on the grievous note of
bondage, the people’s groan has now been
swallowed up in the Lord’s glory. In the
opening chapter of Exodus, the pressing
need of the people was deliverance; in the
closing chapters, the need is that of
fellowship—fellowship
with
God
for
assurance, sustenance, and protection. To
provide for all three, God gave the
wilderness experiences for their testing, the
Law for their living, and the tabernacle for
their worship. In all, He proved Himself the
gracious Redeemer.
