25
The Tabernacle be saved, born again, by faith in His atoning blood. Then you, too, immediately become a member of that temple, not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. You will not be interested in this series of studies unless you love our Lord Jesus. But once you love Him, you will let the Holy Spirit take the things of Christ, and show them unto you. May God add His blessing to our study of this portion of His wonderful Word!
24 The Tabernacle God will dwell in the midst of His people, indeed; and He will be "all and in all." His rest will then be ab olute, eternal, and glorious. There will be no more sin and sor- row. There will be no more curse. God Himself shall wipe away all tears. Of this future day of rejoicing the be- loved disciple wrote, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, :ind be their God" (Rev. 21:3). As we enter upon this wonderful study of the Jewish tabernacle, "a shadow of good things to come," this "earthly sanctuary" with a heavenly meaning, may the Holy Spirit prepare our hearts to receive the deeply spir- itual message of this portion of the sacred Scriptures. Then only shall we see "The Glories of Christ as Foreshadowed in the Jewish Tabernacle." And now, as we bring this first lesson to a close, may we let Him remind us from His in- fallible Word that in Christ "dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily" (Col. 2:9); and that our bodies are "the temple of the Holy Ghost" (I Cor. 6:19). It is a solemn thought, a heart-searching thought-that we have been "bought with a price," even the precious blood of the Son of God! As we see, from our study of the Jewish tabernacle, how God was preparing His people for the manifestation of Him who was to "tabernacle" among men; then as we see how He was also picturing the union of Christ and His church, surely we shall praise Him with ever-increasing adoration for such grace! My unsaved friend, you can not see the beauties of Him, of whom the tabernacle speaks, unless you meet Him at His cross. Only the believer-priests may enter into His presence! But He invites you to meet Him at Calvary,
