Detailed instructions about the tabernacle can be boring to read and hard to understand. But the tabernacle represented a gracious work by God- to create a place where He could be in the midst of His people. The tabernacle was to travel everywhere with Israel and create this place for God's presence. But even with the creation of the tabernacle, separation still marked God and his people. Until the New Testament, when some of the very elements of the tabernacle were torn in two, and now the separation has been replaced by something extraordinary. Not only is God among us, He is found within us.
