THE GLORY OF THE LORD FILLED THE TABERNACLE
Keywords 40:34
Then the cloud covered the Tent of
Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
1. Moses placed and set up all the
elements of the Tabernacle just as the Lord commanded him. The elements all had
to be anointed and consecrated to be made holy. God is holy. His people must
come to him and worship him according to his word. God showed them how by
writing it down in the covenant law kept in the ark and giving them the
Tabernacle. God, through Jesus, has given us a new covenant that enables us to
come to God and worship him in holiness by the shed blood of Jesus.
2. After everything was put in place and
properly consecrated, the glory of the LORD came upon it and filled it. The
LORD who called them out of Egypt to dwell with him in worship (3:12; 4:23;
etc.) was now going to travel with them to fulfill his promise to Abraham
(3:8). The people spent nine months (cf. v. 17, 19:1) at the mountain to
receive the covenant law, build the tabernacle, and learn to worship God. Now
their journey would resume.
Prayer Father, thank you for sending Jesus to make your dwelling with us and to
show us how to live with you and worship you properly. Help me to do so today.
One Word God’s glory in the face of Christ
