What are we supposed to do with the detailed instructions of Exodus? Are we supposed to use them to build a new ark or temple? Why would God keep such minutiae in the Bible?

We can always count on asking 2 questions no matter where we are in scripture:
What does this tell me about God's character?
Where is Jesus (the gospel) in this?

Let's take a look at the details found in the back half of Exodus and see if we can answer both of those questions.
