The Tabernacle has many components and even more symbolism. We have covered a lot of it in previous videos, but here are some additional thoughts on the Tabernacle. 

Zephaniah was a minor prophet with a major message, one of wrath and mercy. The prophet warned Israel of the destruction of the world and how they might avoid it. He gave them hope and a reason to rejoice despite the coming wrath, for there would also be Yahweh’s mercy. 

In this conclusion to our series, The Tabernacle, we find that when everything is put together, the Tabernacle is the way to God. We’ll review each component and look at its spiritual counterpart and how they all show us the path to come before the Father. 

We would like to offer you a welcome to the whole Word. More and more people are realizing the WHOLE Bible is true and applicable to all in the faith today.   If this describes you, then you may have a lot of questions. In this 2-part video we will be taking a brief look at a lot of topics. Here is what we will be covering in part 1:

• What instructions from our Creator should I be following that I am not currently?
• The Sabbath (Exodus 20:8)
• Dietary Instructions (Leviticus 11)
• Circumcision
• Tzitzits (Tzitziyot/Tassels - Numbers 15:38-41)
• Mixing Thread (Deuteronomy 22:11)
• Christmas and Easter (Deuteronomy 12:32)
• The Appointed Times (The Mo'edim - Leviticus 23)
• Teaching Torah (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)
• Tradition vs. Actual Commandments 
  • Laws of Niddah (Women's Menstrual Time - Lev. 15:19-24)

Habakkuk, a minor prophet with the major message. His message wasn’t unique, but he kept an important perspective we should all take, “I will rejoice.” Where does he get this perspective and how can we apply it to our lives today? 

Do you know how the Biblical festivals point to Christ? Many think of the holidays celebrated in Judaism as being just for the Jews and not relevant to believers today. What those people don’t realize is the strong connection they have to our Messiah. The Bible has more to teach us using God’s holidays than may be realized by the average person in the Body of Christ. 

The Tabernacle consists of many pieces, the Tent of Meeting is one of the largest. This tent holds some great parallels for the lives of believers, and reminds us of how physical things can teach us spiritual lessons. 

God will not clear the guilty according to the minor prophet with a major message, Nahum.  How is YHWH not clearing the guilty a comfort to us? What comfort can we find in the condemnation of Nineveh for its evil? 

Talking Torah is something many people love to do, and with good reason!  However, it's not uncommon to find yourself against a brick wall of hostility or rejection.  There can be many reasons for this, but it may all be in the way that you are talking Torah. Are you bullying with your words? Do your actions match your words? We have a few ideas that may help you avoid destroying relationships with your loved ones when sharing your faith. 

The Tabernacle is made up of many pieces, but the heart of the Tabernacle is the Ark of the Covenant. That said, what is it? What is its purpose? What lessons does it hold for believers today?
