The Ten, Torah & Tabernacle (The Story, #5)
This class touched on several topics that require deeper study: the Ten Commandments, the Law of Moses (Torah) and God's tent.
Remember: Moses' law or what we sometimes call the "Old" Covenenant or Testament is really only 'old' for Jewish people. For us Gentiles, there's really only one covenant: the law of liberty - or the law of love. It's the covenant we have because of Jesus. The "old" testament isn't old to us ... it's rather a covenant between God and a very specific group of people. We are not supposed to post this in the courtrooms of the US or any other earthly government - now, or ever, for they were never for US (Gentiles).
Rather, the Covenant between God and the descendants of Jacob was intended to be a: Physical model of a Spiritual Reality. The temple was a real building, but it was only God's house when God lived there ... and even then it didn't really contain Him. Now the reality is that we are all components of the 'real' temple that is eternal. Our 'eternal' High Priest serves in the 'true' tabernacle - and we who are the true worshippers, worship in spirit and truth. The old system was a model - an image - an example to show us what the invisible reality looks like.
Scriptures you may want to review: Jesus' interpretation of various laws of Moses in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5.21-48). Or any of the stories of obedience or disobedience in the "old" testament that play off against the Torah.
Homework: Study 1 Corinthians 10.1-13, and review the 5 stories Paul alludes to there, which are all from the period of the Exodus. (Quail, Calf, Phinehas, Nehushtan, Korah)
