Bible Nugget: The Tabernacle

The tabernacle is an interesting study, i do not plan on going into it much (its a nugget after all, not a full course meal!)

Three materials were used with the furniture

  • Brass - symbolized fire and judgement
  • Gold - symbolized kingship or deity
  • Silver - symbolized the blood (temple coin was silver, remember Judas used a silver coin!)

Tabernacle was 75 feet wide and 150 long and surrounded by a 7-1/2 ft white linen fence

seven pieces of furniture & how it relates to salvation:

  • altar of fire - repentance
  • brass laver - water baptism
    • hold's 3,000 baths (about 3,000 gallons) which is interesting that 3,000 were saved on the day of Pentecost
  • candlestick - receiving the holy Ghost (getting the light)
  • table of shew bread - eat of the bread - the hidden manna 
    • Jesus said "i am the bread that come down from heaven" 
  • altar of incense - shows prayers of the saints
  • the veil - revelation of his deity
  • ark of the covenant - into his presence


The furniture layout was a cross also!!
