00:00:00.260 --> 00:00:02.500
 Good morning, it's good to be back with you guys.

00:00:03.800 --> 00:00:06.740
 Whenever you travel, it's nice to come home

00:00:06.740 --> 00:00:08.919
 and not live out of the suitcase anymore

00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:10.439
 and sleep on your own bed and stuff,

00:00:10.580 --> 00:00:13.500
 but even more than that, it's so good to be back

00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:15.640
 with my church family to worship with you all.

00:00:16.179 --> 00:00:18.400
 Just from times hearing people pray

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:19.480
 during the pre-service prayer

00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:22.980
 and hearing your singing, worshiping together,

00:00:23.100 --> 00:00:24.420
 my heart's already full,

00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:26.260
 and I'm very encouraged from this morning.

00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:28.980
 For those of you who don't know me, my name is Sean.

00:00:28.980 --> 00:00:31.219
 I'm one of the pastors of Trinity Cambridge Church,

00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:33.780
 and if you would please turn with me in your Bibles

00:00:33.780 --> 00:00:35.480
 to Exodus chapter 39.

00:00:36.460 --> 00:00:39.259
 We will be there for our service this morning.

00:00:39.939 --> 00:00:41.920
 If you don't have a Bible, please raise your hand.

00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:43.960
 We'd love to bring you a copy that you can use

00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:45.679
 and that you can take home with you if you'd like.

00:00:47.659 --> 00:00:50.719
 We'll be in Exodus 39, starting in verse 32,

00:00:51.299 --> 00:00:54.340
 going all the way to the end of the book, actually.

00:00:54.460 --> 00:00:56.600
 We are done with Exodus today.

00:00:58.979 --> 00:01:06.359
 Exodus 39 to 40.

00:01:08.759 --> 00:01:11.799
 We're in the, I know some of you guys are probably wondering,

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:13.759
 we were in chapter 34 last week,

00:01:14.039 --> 00:01:16.280
 but we're doing chapters 39 and 40 this week.

00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:19.340
 That's because we already covered chapters 35 to 39,

00:01:19.939 --> 00:01:22.060
 which detailed the construction of the tabernacle

00:01:22.060 --> 00:01:23.859
 along with the instructions that were given

00:01:23.859 --> 00:01:25.319
 for the construction of the tabernacle

00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:28.199
 because they repeat each other almost word for word.

00:01:28.759 --> 00:01:32.039
 And so that's why we're actually not skipping it.

00:01:32.099 --> 00:01:32.899
 We've already covered it,

00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:35.000
 and we're going to chapter 39 today.

00:01:35.539 --> 00:01:37.639
 Let me pray for the reading and preaching of God's word.

00:01:37.639 --> 00:01:37.699
 Let's pray.

00:01:37.700 --> 00:01:48.579
 Heavenly Father, we do long for your glory.

00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.879
 To be filled more and more with your Holy Spirit.

00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.859
 To be controlled more and more by your word.

00:02:01.859 --> 00:02:09.419
 To be used more and more by your power.

00:02:13.020 --> 00:02:14.419
 To proclaim your name.

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.219
 To be conformed to the image of Christ.

00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:21.979
 We long for more of you, Father.

00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:24.800
 And as we've been singing,

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:26.400
 as we've been praying this morning,

00:02:26.500 --> 00:02:28.520
 we cry out for more of you now.

00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.520
 Meet with us.

00:02:32.900 --> 00:02:34.020
 Speak to us.

00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:36.840
 Change us.

00:02:39.160 --> 00:02:40.700
 As you promised in your word,

00:02:40.780 --> 00:02:43.379
 as we exhort one another

00:02:43.379 --> 00:02:45.219
 and address one another with singing,

00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:47.820
 as the word of Christ dwells more richly in us,

00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.740
 you said we would be filled with your spirit.

00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:51.560
 So do that now.

00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:51.640
 Now.

00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.080
 In Jesus' name we pray.

00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:01.920
 Amen.

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:07.900
 If you are willing and able,

00:03:07.980 --> 00:03:09.620
 please stand for the reading of God's word

00:03:09.620 --> 00:03:12.080
 from Exodus 39, 32 to 40, 38.

00:03:18.420 --> 00:03:20.580
 Thus all the work of the tabernacle

00:03:20.580 --> 00:03:22.740
 of the tent of meeting was finished.

00:03:23.320 --> 00:03:25.260
 And the people of Israel did according to all

00:03:25.260 --> 00:03:26.700
 that the Lord had commanded Moses.

00:03:26.699 --> 00:03:27.659
 So they did.

00:03:28.519 --> 00:03:30.659
 Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses,

00:03:30.899 --> 00:03:32.899
 the tent and all its utensils,

00:03:33.019 --> 00:03:33.539
 its hooks,

00:03:33.679 --> 00:03:34.259
 its frames,

00:03:34.399 --> 00:03:34.879
 its bars,

00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:35.459
 its pillars,

00:03:35.579 --> 00:03:36.139
 and spaces.

00:03:36.679 --> 00:03:38.799
 The covering of tanned ram skins

00:03:38.799 --> 00:03:39.679
 and goat skins

00:03:39.679 --> 00:03:41.039
 and the veil of the screen.

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:42.919
 The ark of the testimony

00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:43.780
 with its poles

00:03:43.780 --> 00:03:44.819
 and the mercy seat.

00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:47.139
 The table with all its utensils

00:03:47.139 --> 00:03:48.359
 and the bread of the presence.

00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:50.359
 The lampstand of pure gold

00:03:50.359 --> 00:03:52.060
 and its lamps with the lamp set

00:03:52.060 --> 00:03:53.319
 and all its utensils

00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:54.899
 and the oil for the light.

00:03:54.900 --> 00:03:56.620
 The golden altar,

00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:57.960
 the anointing oil,

00:03:58.120 --> 00:03:59.200
 and the fragrant incense.

00:04:00.060 --> 00:04:01.939
 And the screen for the entrance of the tent.

00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:03.460
 The bronze altar

00:04:03.460 --> 00:04:04.800
 and its grating of bronze,

00:04:04.900 --> 00:04:05.480
 its poles,

00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:06.620
 and all its utensils.

00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:08.640
 The basin and its stand,

00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:09.900
 the hangings of the court,

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:11.240
 its pillars and its bases,

00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:12.920
 and the screen for the gate of the court.

00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:14.960
 Its cords and its pegs

00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:15.980
 and all the utensils

00:04:15.980 --> 00:04:17.480
 for the service of the tabernacle,

00:04:17.780 --> 00:04:18.840
 for the tent of meeting.

00:04:19.579 --> 00:04:20.939
 The finely worked garments

00:04:20.939 --> 00:04:22.519
 for ministering in the holy place.

00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:24.620
 The holy garments for Aaron the priest

00:04:24.620 --> 00:04:26.060
 and the garments of his sons

00:04:26.060 --> 00:04:27.659
 for their service as priests.

00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:30.159
 According to all that the Lord

00:04:30.159 --> 00:04:31.120
 had commanded Moses,

00:04:31.579 --> 00:04:33.199
 so the people of Israel

00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:34.740
 had done all the work.

00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:37.579
 And Moses saw all the work

00:04:37.579 --> 00:04:38.439
 and behold,

00:04:38.779 --> 00:04:39.699
 they had done it

00:04:39.699 --> 00:04:41.439
 as the Lord had commanded.

00:04:41.659 --> 00:04:42.959
 So had they done it.

00:04:43.299 --> 00:04:45.319
 Then Moses blessed them.

00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.620
 The Lord spoke to Moses saying,

00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:50.920
 On the first day of the first month,

00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:52.680
 you shall erect the tabernacle

00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:53.699
 of the tent of meeting.

00:04:54.099 --> 00:04:55.339
 And you shall put in it

00:04:55.339 --> 00:04:56.480
 the ark of the testimony,

00:04:56.659 --> 00:04:58.079
 and you shall screen the ark

00:04:58.079 --> 00:04:58.779
 with the veil.

00:04:59.339 --> 00:05:01.060
 And you shall bring in the table

00:05:01.060 --> 00:05:01.839
 and arrange it,

00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:03.439
 and you shall bring in the lampstand

00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:04.719
 and set up its lamps.

00:05:05.339 --> 00:05:07.219
 And you shall put the golden altar

00:05:07.219 --> 00:05:08.759
 for incense before the ark

00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:09.399
 of the testimony,

00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:10.560
 and set up the screen

00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:11.899
 for the door of the tabernacle.

00:05:11.899 --> 00:05:13.799
 You shall set the altar

00:05:13.799 --> 00:05:14.539
 of burnt offering

00:05:14.539 --> 00:05:15.919
 before the door of the tabernacle

00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:16.799
 of the tent of meeting,

00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:18.199
 and place the basin

00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:19.500
 between the tent of meeting

00:05:19.500 --> 00:05:20.079
 and the altar,

00:05:20.219 --> 00:05:21.179
 and put water in it.

00:05:21.599 --> 00:05:23.219
 And you shall set up the court

00:05:23.219 --> 00:05:23.919
 all around,

00:05:24.039 --> 00:05:24.959
 and hang up the screen

00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:26.019
 for the gate of the court.

00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:27.979
 Then you shall take

00:05:27.979 --> 00:05:28.799
 the anointing oil,

00:05:28.939 --> 00:05:29.979
 and anoint the tabernacle

00:05:29.979 --> 00:05:30.899
 and all that is in it,

00:05:31.060 --> 00:05:32.079
 and consecrate it

00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:33.079
 and all its furniture,

00:05:33.239 --> 00:05:34.319
 so that it may become holy.

00:05:35.019 --> 00:05:36.159
 You shall also anoint

00:05:36.159 --> 00:05:37.339
 the altar of burnt offering

00:05:37.339 --> 00:05:38.379
 and all its utensils,

00:05:38.479 --> 00:05:39.519
 and consecrate the altar,

00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:40.159
 so that the altar

00:05:40.159 --> 00:05:41.579
 may become most holy.

00:05:42.359 --> 00:05:43.599
 You shall also anoint

00:05:43.599 --> 00:05:44.839
 the basin and its stand

00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:45.859
 and consecrate it.

00:05:46.219 --> 00:05:47.579
 Then you shall bring Aaron

00:05:47.579 --> 00:05:48.299
 and his sons

00:05:48.299 --> 00:05:48.919
 to the entrance

00:05:48.919 --> 00:05:50.019
 of the tent of meeting,

00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:51.019
 and shall wash them

00:05:51.019 --> 00:05:51.579
 with water,

00:05:51.799 --> 00:05:52.620
 and put on Aaron

00:05:52.620 --> 00:05:53.560
 the holy garments.

00:05:53.919 --> 00:05:54.939
 And you shall anoint him

00:05:54.939 --> 00:05:55.779
 and consecrate him,

00:05:55.819 --> 00:05:56.899
 that he may serve me

00:05:56.899 --> 00:05:57.560
 as priest.

00:05:58.039 --> 00:05:59.560
 You shall bring his sons

00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:01.120
 also and put coats on them,

00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:02.219
 and anoint them,

00:06:02.259 --> 00:06:03.419
 as you anointed their father,

00:06:03.579 --> 00:06:04.539
 that they may serve me

00:06:04.539 --> 00:06:05.079
 as priests.

00:06:05.819 --> 00:06:06.859
 And their anointing

00:06:06.859 --> 00:06:07.739
 shall admit them

00:06:07.739 --> 00:06:09.060
 to a perpetual priesthood

00:06:09.060 --> 00:06:10.039
 throughout their generations.

00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:12.620
 This Moses did

00:06:12.620 --> 00:06:13.540
 according to all

00:06:13.540 --> 00:06:14.900
 that the Lord commanded him,

00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:15.640
 so he did.

00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:17.260
 In the first month,

00:06:17.300 --> 00:06:18.040
 in the second year,

00:06:18.140 --> 00:06:19.240
 on the first day of the month,

00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:20.980
 the tabernacle was erected.

00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:23.120
 Moses erected the tabernacle.

00:06:23.660 --> 00:06:24.840
 He laid its basis

00:06:24.840 --> 00:06:25.980
 and set up its frames

00:06:25.980 --> 00:06:27.060
 and put in its poles

00:06:27.060 --> 00:06:28.200
 and raised up its pillars.

00:06:28.580 --> 00:06:29.720
 And he spread the tent

00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:30.759
 over the tabernacle

00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:31.640
 and put the covering

00:06:31.640 --> 00:06:32.840
 of the tent over it,

00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:34.080
 as the Lord

00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:35.560
 had commanded Moses.

00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:37.600
 He took the testimony

00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:38.720
 and put it into the ark

00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:40.100
 and put the poles on the ark

00:06:40.100 --> 00:06:41.100
 and set the mercy seat

00:06:41.100 --> 00:06:42.040
 above on the ark,

00:06:42.339 --> 00:06:43.280
 and he brought the ark

00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:44.079
 into the tabernacle

00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:44.920
 and set up the veil

00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:45.480
 of the screen

00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:46.680
 and screened the ark

00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:47.339
 of the testimony

00:06:47.339 --> 00:06:48.660
 as the Lord

00:06:48.660 --> 00:06:49.759
 had commanded Moses.

00:06:50.500 --> 00:06:51.660
 He put the table

00:06:51.660 --> 00:06:52.540
 in the tent of meeting

00:06:52.540 --> 00:06:53.480
 on the north side

00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:54.240
 of the tabernacle

00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:55.120
 outside the veil

00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:56.500
 and arranged the bread

00:06:56.500 --> 00:06:57.540
 on it before the Lord

00:06:57.540 --> 00:06:58.120
 as the Lord

00:06:58.120 --> 00:06:59.740
 had commanded Moses.

00:07:00.379 --> 00:07:01.800
 He put the lampstand

00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:02.779
 in the tent of meeting

00:07:02.779 --> 00:07:03.800
 opposite the table

00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:04.660
 on the south side

00:07:04.660 --> 00:07:05.400
 of the tabernacle

00:07:05.400 --> 00:07:06.780
 and set up the lamps

00:07:06.780 --> 00:07:07.700
 before the Lord

00:07:07.700 --> 00:07:08.860
 as the Lord

00:07:08.860 --> 00:07:10.600
 had commanded Moses.

00:07:11.300 --> 00:07:12.840
 He put the golden altar

00:07:12.840 --> 00:07:13.640
 in the tent of meeting

00:07:13.640 --> 00:07:14.380
 before the veil

00:07:14.380 --> 00:07:15.800
 and burned fragrant incense

00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:16.340
 on it

00:07:16.340 --> 00:07:17.160
 as the Lord

00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:18.780
 had commanded Moses.

00:07:19.380 --> 00:07:20.680
 He put in place

00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:21.200
 the screen

00:07:21.200 --> 00:07:21.820
 for the door

00:07:21.820 --> 00:07:22.620
 of the tabernacle

00:07:22.620 --> 00:07:23.780
 and he set the altar

00:07:23.780 --> 00:07:24.460
 of burnt offering

00:07:24.460 --> 00:07:25.080
 at the entrance

00:07:25.080 --> 00:07:25.800
 of the tabernacle

00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:26.600
 of the tent of meeting

00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:27.920
 and offered on it

00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:28.680
 the burnt offering

00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:29.580
 and the grain offering

00:07:29.580 --> 00:07:30.960
 as the Lord

00:07:30.960 --> 00:07:32.580
 had commanded Moses.

00:07:32.579 --> 00:07:32.719
 Moses,

00:07:33.459 --> 00:07:34.620
 he set the basin

00:07:34.620 --> 00:07:35.519
 between the tent

00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:35.959
 of meeting

00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:36.959
 and the altar

00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:37.779
 and put water

00:07:37.779 --> 00:07:38.560
 in it for washing

00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:39.599
 with which Moses

00:07:39.599 --> 00:07:39.979
 and Aaron

00:07:39.979 --> 00:07:40.519
 and his sons

00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:41.359
 washed their hands

00:07:41.359 --> 00:07:41.899
 and their feet.

00:07:42.620 --> 00:07:43.019
 When they went

00:07:43.019 --> 00:07:43.560
 into the tent

00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:43.959
 of meeting

00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:44.620
 and when they

00:07:44.620 --> 00:07:45.740
 approached the altar

00:07:45.740 --> 00:07:46.399
 they washed

00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:47.019
 as the Lord

00:07:47.019 --> 00:07:48.360
 commanded Moses

00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:50.139
 and he erected

00:07:50.139 --> 00:07:50.539
 the court

00:07:50.539 --> 00:07:51.539
 around the tabernacle

00:07:51.539 --> 00:07:52.240
 and the altar

00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:52.959
 and set up

00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:53.339
 the screen

00:07:53.339 --> 00:07:53.759
 of the gate

00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:54.240
 of the court

00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:55.099
 so Moses

00:07:55.099 --> 00:07:56.039
 finished the work.

00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.840
 Then the cloud

00:07:58.840 --> 00:08:00.920
 covered the tent

00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:01.280
 of meeting

00:08:01.280 --> 00:08:02.780
 and the glory

00:08:02.780 --> 00:08:03.540
 of the Lord

00:08:03.540 --> 00:08:05.100
 filled the tabernacle

00:08:05.100 --> 00:08:06.319
 and Moses

00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:07.319
 was not able

00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:08.439
 to enter the tent

00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:08.820
 of meeting

00:08:08.820 --> 00:08:09.960
 because the cloud

00:08:09.960 --> 00:08:10.960
 settled on it

00:08:10.960 --> 00:08:12.320
 and the glory

00:08:12.320 --> 00:08:12.900
 of the Lord

00:08:12.900 --> 00:08:14.500
 filled the tabernacle.

00:08:15.500 --> 00:08:15.980
 Throughout all

00:08:15.980 --> 00:08:16.580
 their journeys

00:08:16.580 --> 00:08:17.680
 whenever the cloud

00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:18.340
 was taken up

00:08:18.340 --> 00:08:19.439
 from over the tabernacle

00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:20.439
 the people of Israel

00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:21.100
 would set out

00:08:21.100 --> 00:08:22.300
 but if the cloud

00:08:22.300 --> 00:08:23.340
 was not taken up

00:08:23.340 --> 00:08:24.379
 then they did not

00:08:24.379 --> 00:08:25.240
 set out till the day

00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:26.480
 that it was taken up.

00:08:26.980 --> 00:08:27.720
 For the cloud

00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:28.360
 of the Lord

00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:29.560
 was on the tabernacle

00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:30.259
 by day

00:08:30.259 --> 00:08:31.379
 and fire

00:08:31.379 --> 00:08:32.120
 was in it

00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:32.740
 by night

00:08:32.740 --> 00:08:33.740
 in the sight

00:08:33.740 --> 00:08:34.980
 of all the house

00:08:34.980 --> 00:08:35.480
 of Israel

00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:36.480
 throughout all

00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:37.659
 their journeys.

00:08:38.419 --> 00:08:39.139
 This is God's

00:08:39.139 --> 00:08:40.340
 holy and authoritative

00:08:40.340 --> 00:08:40.600
 word.

00:08:40.700 --> 00:08:41.279
 Please be seated.

00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:48.120
 Most people

00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:49.139
 associate the book

00:08:49.139 --> 00:08:49.680
 of Exodus

00:08:49.680 --> 00:08:51.560
 only with the story

00:08:51.560 --> 00:08:52.620
 of Israel's

00:08:52.620 --> 00:08:53.060
 Exodus

00:08:53.060 --> 00:08:54.259
 from Egypt

00:08:54.259 --> 00:08:56.200
 with the ten plagues

00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:57.319
 the Passover

00:08:57.319 --> 00:08:58.500
 and the crossing

00:08:58.500 --> 00:08:59.299
 of the Red Sea

00:08:59.299 --> 00:09:01.139
 but that dramatic

00:09:01.139 --> 00:09:02.519
 escape from slavery

00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:03.039
 in Egypt

00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:03.939
 was over

00:09:03.939 --> 00:09:05.340
 at chapter 14

00:09:05.340 --> 00:09:07.980
 25 chapters ago.

00:09:08.939 --> 00:09:09.720
 The book

00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:10.639
 did not end there

00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:11.559
 but has continued

00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:12.399
 to this point

00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:14.159
 because Israel's

00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:15.059
 slavery in Egypt

00:09:15.059 --> 00:09:15.840
 was not

00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:16.960
 the ultimate drama

00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:17.519
 of the book.

00:09:18.819 --> 00:09:19.519
 There is still

00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:20.399
 deeper

00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:21.860
 more fundamental

00:09:21.860 --> 00:09:22.879
 drama going on

00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:23.460
 in this book.

00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:25.039
 Israel's

00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:26.299
 slavery in Egypt

00:09:26.299 --> 00:09:27.159
 was merely

00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:27.980
 a symptom

00:09:27.980 --> 00:09:29.899
 of their exile

00:09:29.899 --> 00:09:30.919
 from the presence

00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:31.439
 of God

00:09:31.439 --> 00:09:33.000
 due to Adam's

00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:33.919
 sin in the Garden

00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:34.279
 of Eden.

00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:36.279
 Escaping Egypt

00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:36.860
 and crossing

00:09:36.860 --> 00:09:37.399
 the Red Sea

00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:38.059
 is great

00:09:38.059 --> 00:09:39.299
 but until

00:09:39.299 --> 00:09:40.139
 Israel's

00:09:40.139 --> 00:09:40.799
 separation

00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:41.879
 from the presence

00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:42.340
 of God

00:09:42.340 --> 00:09:43.000
 is addressed

00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:44.379
 this drama

00:09:44.379 --> 00:09:45.279
 is not resolved.

00:09:46.340 --> 00:09:47.179
 So our passage

00:09:47.179 --> 00:09:47.580
 this morning

00:09:47.580 --> 00:09:49.000
 brings that drama

00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:49.919
 to its fitting

00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:50.819
 climactic

00:09:50.819 --> 00:09:51.839
 conclusion.

00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:55.219
 Similarly for us

00:09:55.219 --> 00:09:55.819
 much like

00:09:55.819 --> 00:09:56.639
 the lives

00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:57.139
 of the Israelites

00:09:57.139 --> 00:09:57.899
 our lives

00:09:57.899 --> 00:09:58.559
 are also full

00:09:58.559 --> 00:09:59.659
 of much drama.

00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:01.959
 Most of you

00:10:01.959 --> 00:10:02.379
 can probably

00:10:02.379 --> 00:10:03.459
 think of a conflict

00:10:03.459 --> 00:10:04.439
 or a problem

00:10:04.439 --> 00:10:05.000
 in your life

00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:05.519
 off the top

00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:05.959
 of your head.

00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:08.559
 Psychologically

00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:09.419
 we deal with

00:10:09.419 --> 00:10:10.199
 anxiety

00:10:10.199 --> 00:10:11.639
 panic attacks

00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.919
 various mental

00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:14.339
 illnesses

00:10:14.339 --> 00:10:15.139
 depression

00:10:15.139 --> 00:10:16.779
 bipolar disorder

00:10:16.779 --> 00:10:18.000
 gender dysphoria

00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.080
 socially

00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:21.299
 we deal with

00:10:21.299 --> 00:10:22.039
 wars

00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:23.159
 and rumors

00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:23.779
 of wars

00:10:23.779 --> 00:10:24.480
 overseas

00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.139
 prejudice

00:10:26.139 --> 00:10:27.139
 and injustice

00:10:27.139 --> 00:10:28.120
 on the streets

00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:29.399
 bullying

00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:31.039
 on the screens

00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:32.000
 loneliness

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:32.820
 and abuse

00:10:32.820 --> 00:10:33.500
 in our homes

00:10:33.500 --> 00:10:35.879
 even physically

00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:36.779
 we deal with

00:10:36.779 --> 00:10:37.720
 various pains

00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:38.639
 and sicknesses

00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:39.480
 like arthritis

00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:40.940
 diabetes

00:10:40.940 --> 00:10:42.580
 pinched nerves

00:10:42.580 --> 00:10:43.740
 migraines

00:10:43.740 --> 00:10:45.200
 cancer

00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:46.920
 and even

00:10:46.920 --> 00:10:47.780
 natural disasters

00:10:47.780 --> 00:10:48.660
 like droughts

00:10:48.660 --> 00:10:49.540
 and wildfires

00:10:49.540 --> 00:10:50.420
 and earthquakes

00:10:50.420 --> 00:10:51.180
 and storms

00:10:51.180 --> 00:10:53.460
 but all of

00:10:53.460 --> 00:10:54.400
 these problems

00:10:54.400 --> 00:10:56.220
 in our lives

00:10:56.220 --> 00:10:57.160
 and in our world

00:10:57.160 --> 00:10:58.320
 are symptoms

00:10:58.320 --> 00:10:58.980
 they are

00:10:58.980 --> 00:11:00.120
 ramifications

00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:01.480
 of a central

00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:02.780
 underlying drama

00:11:02.780 --> 00:11:03.940
 and then that

00:11:03.940 --> 00:11:04.480
 drama

00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:05.160
 namely

00:11:05.160 --> 00:11:06.120
 is humanity's

00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:06.560
 sin

00:11:06.560 --> 00:11:08.280
 and humanity

00:11:08.280 --> 00:11:09.700
 has consequence

00:11:09.700 --> 00:11:10.420
 separation

00:11:10.420 --> 00:11:11.060
 from God

00:11:11.060 --> 00:11:12.879
 and the fall

00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:13.420
 of the world

00:11:13.419 --> 00:11:13.979
 in general

00:11:13.979 --> 00:11:14.719
 as a result

00:11:14.719 --> 00:11:15.199
 of it

00:11:15.199 --> 00:11:16.159
 it's because

00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:16.819
 the world

00:11:16.819 --> 00:11:17.659
 is not rightly

00:11:17.659 --> 00:11:18.339
 ordered in its

00:11:18.339 --> 00:11:19.479
 relationship to God

00:11:19.479 --> 00:11:20.360
 that there's so much

00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:21.659
 disorder in it

00:11:21.659 --> 00:11:23.699
 and chaos in it

00:11:23.699 --> 00:11:25.699
 it's tempting

00:11:25.699 --> 00:11:26.360
 to think that

00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:27.259
 all our problems

00:11:27.259 --> 00:11:27.819
 are due to

00:11:27.819 --> 00:11:29.019
 that sickness

00:11:29.019 --> 00:11:30.579
 or that toxic

00:11:30.579 --> 00:11:31.099
 individual

00:11:31.099 --> 00:11:32.679
 or that stubborn

00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:34.839
 mental problem

00:11:34.839 --> 00:11:36.039
 but the most

00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:37.240
 fundamental problem

00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:38.419
 that we must address

00:11:38.419 --> 00:11:39.360
 is the problem

00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:40.399
 that lies at the root

00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:41.279
 of all our problems

00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:42.659
 it's sin

00:11:42.659 --> 00:11:44.079
 and its consequence

00:11:44.079 --> 00:11:44.719
 separation

00:11:44.719 --> 00:11:45.659
 our separation

00:11:45.659 --> 00:11:46.179
 from God

00:11:46.179 --> 00:11:48.079
 and this passage

00:11:48.079 --> 00:11:49.339
 offers us a solution

00:11:49.339 --> 00:11:49.839
 to that

00:11:49.839 --> 00:11:52.179
 and brings this drama

00:11:52.179 --> 00:11:53.199
 to a conclusion

00:11:53.199 --> 00:11:55.100
 this passage teaches us

00:11:55.100 --> 00:11:56.120
 that we are newly

00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:56.740
 created

00:11:56.740 --> 00:11:58.480
 as the tabernacle

00:11:58.480 --> 00:11:59.480
 for God's glory

00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.120
 by the atoning work

00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:03.240
 of Jesus Christ

00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:04.100
 tabernacle is just

00:12:04.100 --> 00:12:04.919
 the word for tent

00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:06.259
 the dwelling place

00:12:06.259 --> 00:12:07.120
 for God

00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:08.819
 and I'm going to talk

00:12:08.819 --> 00:12:09.519
 first about the new

00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:10.000
 creation

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:11.039
 then about the new

00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:11.819
 tabernacle

00:12:11.820 --> 00:12:12.500
 and finally about

00:12:12.500 --> 00:12:13.820
 the new mediator

00:12:13.820 --> 00:12:15.900
 the first section

00:12:15.900 --> 00:12:16.440
 of this passage

00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:16.980
 that we read

00:12:16.980 --> 00:12:17.940
 in chapter 39

00:12:17.940 --> 00:12:19.180
 verses 32 to 43

00:12:19.180 --> 00:12:20.220
 it begins with

00:12:20.220 --> 00:12:21.480
 this summary statement

00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:23.000
 that all the work

00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:23.720
 of the tabernacle

00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:24.080
 of the tent

00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:24.379
 and meeting

00:12:24.379 --> 00:12:25.200
 was finished

00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:26.200
 and the people

00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:26.660
 of Israel

00:12:26.660 --> 00:12:27.180
 did according

00:12:27.180 --> 00:12:27.820
 to all

00:12:27.820 --> 00:12:28.500
 that the Lord

00:12:28.500 --> 00:12:29.260
 had commanded

00:12:29.260 --> 00:12:29.660
 Moses

00:12:29.660 --> 00:12:31.879
 and then in verse 43

00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:32.920
 that same section

00:12:32.920 --> 00:12:34.520
 ends with the same

00:12:34.520 --> 00:12:34.960
 summary

00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:35.860
 in verse 42

00:12:35.860 --> 00:12:37.240
 according to all

00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:37.800
 that the Lord

00:12:37.800 --> 00:12:38.260
 had commanded

00:12:38.260 --> 00:12:38.600
 Moses

00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:39.220
 so the people

00:12:39.220 --> 00:12:39.560
 of Israel

00:12:39.560 --> 00:12:40.160
 had done

00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:41.600
 all the work

00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:43.500
 the fact that

00:12:43.500 --> 00:12:44.559
 Moses and the Israelites

00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:45.639
 completed the work

00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:46.319
 of building

00:12:46.319 --> 00:12:47.100
 the tabernacle

00:12:47.100 --> 00:12:47.980
 exactly

00:12:47.980 --> 00:12:49.360
 according to

00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:50.259
 the specifications

00:12:50.259 --> 00:12:50.819
 that God

00:12:50.819 --> 00:12:51.620
 had given them

00:12:51.620 --> 00:12:52.559
 is something

00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:53.259
 that will be

00:12:53.259 --> 00:12:54.439
 repeated and highlighted

00:12:54.439 --> 00:12:55.279
 all throughout

00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:55.959
 chapter 40

00:12:55.959 --> 00:12:56.919
 as we read

00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:58.519
 this is because

00:12:58.519 --> 00:12:59.919
 earlier in chapter 25

00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:00.620
 verse 9

00:13:00.620 --> 00:13:01.480
 God had said

00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:01.980
 to Moses

00:13:01.980 --> 00:13:03.199
 exactly

00:13:03.199 --> 00:13:05.279
 as I show you

00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:06.959
 concerning the pattern

00:13:06.959 --> 00:13:07.839
 of the tabernacle

00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:09.040
 and all of its furniture

00:13:09.040 --> 00:13:10.720
 so you shall

00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:11.399
 make it

00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:13.580
 God showed

00:13:13.580 --> 00:13:14.580
 Moses the blueprint

00:13:14.580 --> 00:13:15.540
 on Mount Sinai

00:13:15.540 --> 00:13:16.740
 the pattern

00:13:16.740 --> 00:13:17.680
 of the tabernacle

00:13:17.680 --> 00:13:18.480
 and Moses

00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:18.960
 was supposed

00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:19.899
 to supervise

00:13:19.899 --> 00:13:20.480
 the work

00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:21.379
 to ensure

00:13:21.379 --> 00:13:22.860
 that it was built

00:13:22.860 --> 00:13:24.019
 exactly according

00:13:24.019 --> 00:13:25.139
 to that blueprint

00:13:25.139 --> 00:13:27.259
 and that's because

00:13:27.259 --> 00:13:28.420
 the earthly tabernacle

00:13:28.420 --> 00:13:29.300
 as Hebrews 8

00:13:29.300 --> 00:13:30.100
 5 tells us

00:13:30.100 --> 00:13:31.139
 is intended to be

00:13:31.139 --> 00:13:32.139
 a copy

00:13:32.139 --> 00:13:33.019
 and a shadow

00:13:33.019 --> 00:13:34.420
 of the heavenly

00:13:34.420 --> 00:13:35.639
 tabernacle

00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:36.700
 the dwelling place

00:13:36.700 --> 00:13:37.080
 of God

00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.020
 so the tabernacle

00:13:39.020 --> 00:13:39.759
 is almost like

00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:40.560
 a miniature

00:13:40.560 --> 00:13:41.400
 replica

00:13:41.400 --> 00:13:43.160
 a scale model

00:13:43.160 --> 00:13:44.120
 of the heavenly

00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:44.620
 reality

00:13:44.620 --> 00:13:46.160
 this is why

00:13:46.160 --> 00:13:46.680
 the Israelites

00:13:46.680 --> 00:13:47.440
 are to follow

00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:48.200
 the instructions

00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:48.940
 given by God

00:13:48.940 --> 00:13:49.460
 to a T

00:13:49.460 --> 00:13:51.100
 this is why

00:13:51.100 --> 00:13:51.800
 Moses takes

00:13:51.800 --> 00:13:52.900
 seven chapters

00:13:52.900 --> 00:13:54.080
 to relay

00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:55.280
 specific instructions

00:13:55.280 --> 00:13:56.420
 concerning the tabernacle

00:13:56.420 --> 00:13:57.460
 and then he takes

00:13:57.460 --> 00:13:57.860
 them another

00:13:57.860 --> 00:13:58.759
 six chapters

00:13:58.759 --> 00:13:59.379
 to relay

00:13:59.379 --> 00:13:59.860
 to

00:13:59.860 --> 00:14:01.960
 follow those

00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:02.400
 instructions

00:14:02.400 --> 00:14:03.360
 painstakingly

00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:04.259
 word for word

00:14:04.259 --> 00:14:04.879
 and build

00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:05.879
 the tabernacle

00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:07.240
 this conveys

00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:07.620
 the truth

00:14:07.620 --> 00:14:08.399
 that the tabernacle

00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:09.620
 is not an invention

00:14:09.620 --> 00:14:11.519
 it's not an innovation

00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:13.019
 but an imitation

00:14:13.019 --> 00:14:13.899
 of the heavenly

00:14:13.899 --> 00:14:14.779
 dwelling place

00:14:14.779 --> 00:14:15.240
 of God

00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:16.919
 people say

00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:17.419
 that imitation

00:14:17.419 --> 00:14:18.759
 is the sincerest

00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:20.559
 form of flattery

00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:22.500
 when you can improve

00:14:22.500 --> 00:14:23.039
 on something

00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:24.179
 then you innovate

00:14:24.179 --> 00:14:26.080
 but when you cannot

00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:27.179
 improve on something

00:14:27.179 --> 00:14:28.799
 you imitate it

00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.379
 God is the architect

00:14:31.379 --> 00:14:33.059
 and the designer

00:14:33.059 --> 00:14:34.399
 and the engineer

00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:36.139
 behind the tabernacle

00:14:36.139 --> 00:14:37.600
 Moses is merely

00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:38.639
 the project manager

00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:39.360
 and the Israelites

00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:39.919
 are merely

00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:41.179
 the construction workers

00:14:41.179 --> 00:14:43.379
 the construction worker

00:14:43.379 --> 00:14:44.379
 does not get

00:14:44.379 --> 00:14:45.820
 to go off script

00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:46.939
 and alter

00:14:46.939 --> 00:14:47.539
 the design

00:14:47.539 --> 00:14:48.100
 of the house

00:14:48.100 --> 00:14:49.220
 that they have received

00:14:49.220 --> 00:14:50.500
 from the architect

00:14:50.500 --> 00:14:51.240
 and the engineer

00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:52.740
 likewise

00:14:52.740 --> 00:14:54.340
 God is the originator

00:14:54.340 --> 00:14:56.120
 God is the creator

00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:57.340
 and the Israelites

00:14:57.340 --> 00:14:58.019
 must remember

00:14:58.019 --> 00:14:59.299
 that they are servants

00:14:59.299 --> 00:15:01.159
 doing the Lord's bidding

00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:02.000
 that's the point

00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:03.359
 that is being driven home

00:15:03.359 --> 00:15:05.500
 these verses

00:15:05.500 --> 00:15:06.299
 also emphasize

00:15:06.299 --> 00:15:07.019
 the importance

00:15:07.019 --> 00:15:07.479
 of obedience

00:15:07.479 --> 00:15:08.120
 in general

00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:10.359
 Moses and the Israelites

00:15:10.359 --> 00:15:11.079
 had to do

00:15:11.079 --> 00:15:12.559
 all that the Lord

00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:13.659
 had commanded them

00:15:13.659 --> 00:15:15.299
 the same is true

00:15:15.299 --> 00:15:16.120
 for us

00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:18.799
 James 2 verse 10

00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:19.120
 says

00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:19.759
 whoever keeps

00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:20.599
 the whole law

00:15:20.599 --> 00:15:21.899
 but fails

00:15:21.899 --> 00:15:23.379
 in one point

00:15:23.379 --> 00:15:25.219
 has become guilty

00:15:25.219 --> 00:15:26.879
 of all of it

00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:29.320
 you don't have to

00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:30.399
 break every law

00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:31.000
 of the land

00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:31.879
 in order to become

00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:32.419
 a lawbreaker

00:15:32.419 --> 00:15:34.439
 you only have to

00:15:34.439 --> 00:15:35.179
 break one

00:15:35.179 --> 00:15:36.580
 to be fined

00:15:36.580 --> 00:15:37.639
 or jailed

00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:38.679
 or otherwise punished

00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:39.379
 as a lawbreaker

00:15:39.379 --> 00:15:41.580
 God's law

00:15:41.580 --> 00:15:43.159
 is an interdependent

00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:43.519
 whole

00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:44.220
 that has

00:15:44.220 --> 00:15:45.639
 a single author

00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:46.519
 and lawgiver

00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:47.220
 behind it

00:15:47.220 --> 00:15:48.519
 it's not like

00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:49.039
 if you break

00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:49.960
 law one point

00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:50.159
 A

00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:50.799
 then you appoint

00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:52.000
 then you offend

00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:52.620
 person A

00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:53.320
 but if you break

00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:54.080
 law one point

00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:54.340
 B

00:15:54.340 --> 00:15:55.279
 you offend

00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:56.139
 person B

00:15:56.139 --> 00:15:56.759
 because there's

00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:57.639
 only one author

00:15:57.639 --> 00:15:59.199
 and one lawgiver

00:15:59.199 --> 00:16:00.519
 one authority

00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:01.360
 behind it

00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:02.860
 if you break

00:16:02.860 --> 00:16:03.980
 one part of the law

00:16:03.980 --> 00:16:04.460
 if you fail

00:16:04.460 --> 00:16:05.360
 at one point

00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:06.159
 then you offend

00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:07.159
 the living God

00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:07.960
 and you have

00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:09.199
 broken the whole

00:16:09.199 --> 00:16:11.100
 you have become

00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:11.980
 guilty

00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:14.919
 just as one drop

00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:15.740
 of blank ink

00:16:15.740 --> 00:16:16.860
 in a clear glass

00:16:16.860 --> 00:16:17.199
 of water

00:16:17.199 --> 00:16:18.519
 contaminates the whole

00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:19.939
 sin

00:16:19.939 --> 00:16:20.819
 one sin

00:16:20.819 --> 00:16:21.919
 brings guilt

00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:23.620
 and condemnation

00:16:23.620 --> 00:16:26.080
 this truth

00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:26.820
 has two very

00:16:26.820 --> 00:16:27.659
 important implications

00:16:27.659 --> 00:16:28.200
 for us

00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:28.720
 as Christians

00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:30.100
 one is that

00:16:30.100 --> 00:16:31.159
 we should strive

00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:31.740
 to obey

00:16:31.740 --> 00:16:32.740
 all that God

00:16:32.740 --> 00:16:33.560
 has commanded us

00:16:33.560 --> 00:16:36.080
 we don't have

00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:36.560
 the luxury

00:16:36.560 --> 00:16:37.600
 to pick and choose

00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:38.120
 the commands

00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:38.740
 we like

00:16:38.740 --> 00:16:39.360
 and commands

00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:40.000
 we don't like

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:41.480
 that's not

00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:42.379
 our prerogative

00:16:42.379 --> 00:16:44.220
 we are servants

00:16:44.220 --> 00:16:45.720
 and we have to do

00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:46.759
 all that the master

00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:47.779
 has commanded

00:16:47.779 --> 00:16:50.860
 this God

00:16:50.860 --> 00:16:51.379
 his way

00:16:51.379 --> 00:16:52.139
 is perfect

00:16:52.139 --> 00:16:53.699
 the word of the Lord

00:16:53.699 --> 00:16:54.659
 proves true

00:16:54.659 --> 00:16:56.860
 so as Christians

00:16:56.860 --> 00:16:57.759
 we have to strive

00:16:57.759 --> 00:16:58.839
 to obey everything

00:16:58.839 --> 00:17:00.019
 that God has commanded

00:17:00.019 --> 00:17:00.919
 every word

00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:02.779
 because we are servants

00:17:02.779 --> 00:17:03.519
 who ought to do

00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:04.420
 all that the master

00:17:04.420 --> 00:17:04.920
 has commanded

00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:06.819
 this God

00:17:06.819 --> 00:17:07.279
 his way

00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:07.899
 is perfect

00:17:07.899 --> 00:17:08.940
 the word of the Lord

00:17:08.940 --> 00:17:09.980
 proves true

00:17:09.980 --> 00:17:12.379
 we can't improve

00:17:12.379 --> 00:17:13.220
 upon God's word

00:17:13.220 --> 00:17:15.700
 whenever we veer away

00:17:15.700 --> 00:17:16.619
 from the commandments

00:17:16.619 --> 00:17:17.160
 of God

00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:18.080
 big or small

00:17:18.080 --> 00:17:19.259
 we are falling short

00:17:19.259 --> 00:17:20.279
 of his glory

00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:21.160
 and hurting ourselves

00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:23.320
 so are we living

00:17:23.320 --> 00:17:24.080
 in submission

00:17:24.080 --> 00:17:25.100
 and surrender

00:17:25.100 --> 00:17:27.960
 Jesus says

00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:28.980
 in Matthew 548

00:17:28.980 --> 00:17:29.620
 you therefore

00:17:29.620 --> 00:17:30.880
 must be perfect

00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:32.460
 as your heavenly father

00:17:32.460 --> 00:17:33.540
 is perfect

00:17:33.540 --> 00:17:34.900
 for it is written

00:17:34.900 --> 00:17:36.380
 it says in Galatians 310

00:17:36.380 --> 00:17:37.759
 curse be everyone

00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:38.660
 who does not abide

00:17:38.660 --> 00:17:39.860
 by all things

00:17:39.860 --> 00:17:40.500
 written in the book

00:17:40.500 --> 00:17:40.940
 of the law

00:17:40.940 --> 00:17:41.600
 and do them

00:17:41.600 --> 00:17:44.360
 God does not grade

00:17:44.360 --> 00:17:45.160
 on a curve

00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:47.200
 life is either

00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:47.759
 a pass

00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:48.920
 or a fail

00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:50.580
 and passing grade

00:17:50.580 --> 00:17:51.360
 is perfection

00:17:51.360 --> 00:17:53.860
 so don't settle

00:17:53.860 --> 00:17:55.120
 for being a somewhat

00:17:55.120 --> 00:17:56.160
 obedient Christian

00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:58.300
 or an above average Christian

00:17:58.300 --> 00:17:59.580
 you should imitate Christ

00:17:59.580 --> 00:18:00.680
 work hard

00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:01.920
 to become more like Christ

00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:02.759
 in every way

00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:04.420
 and seek to obey God

00:18:04.420 --> 00:18:05.320
 in everything

00:18:05.320 --> 00:18:08.480
 but we have to remember

00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:09.060
 that truth

00:18:09.060 --> 00:18:10.220
 with a second truth

00:18:10.220 --> 00:18:12.079
 because if not

00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:12.700
 we would be

00:18:12.700 --> 00:18:13.960
 depressed

00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:14.920
 and dejected

00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:16.720
 because God's standard

00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:17.440
 is perfection

00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:18.180
 and we have all

00:18:18.180 --> 00:18:19.299
 fallen short of that

00:18:19.299 --> 00:18:20.480
 we must rely

00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:22.180
 not on our own righteousness

00:18:22.180 --> 00:18:24.640
 but on the perfect righteousness

00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:25.640
 of Jesus

00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:27.019
 for our salvation

00:18:27.019 --> 00:18:29.480
 Hebrews 1014

00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:30.019
 says that

00:18:30.019 --> 00:18:31.180
 by a single offering

00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:33.079
 Jesus has perfected

00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:34.680
 for all time

00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:36.000
 those who are being

00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:36.680
 sanctified

00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:38.740
 we must not

00:18:38.740 --> 00:18:39.480
 delude ourselves

00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:40.019
 into thinking

00:18:40.019 --> 00:18:40.600
 that we can be

00:18:40.600 --> 00:18:41.580
 good enough for God

00:18:41.580 --> 00:18:42.560
 on our own accord

00:18:42.560 --> 00:18:43.960
 that we can meet

00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:44.580
 his standards

00:18:44.580 --> 00:18:45.880
 with our own good works

00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:47.820
 we are atoned

00:18:47.820 --> 00:18:49.180
 by Jesus' death

00:18:49.180 --> 00:18:50.000
 and justified

00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:51.420
 by his resurrection

00:18:51.420 --> 00:18:53.240
 apart from

00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:54.220
 the perfect righteousness

00:18:54.220 --> 00:18:54.779
 of Christ

00:18:54.779 --> 00:18:56.100
 being imputed to us

00:18:56.100 --> 00:18:57.480
 we have no hope

00:18:57.480 --> 00:18:58.100
 of salvation

00:18:58.100 --> 00:18:59.980
 so repetition

00:18:59.980 --> 00:19:01.279
 of the summary statement

00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:02.240
 that the people

00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:02.620
 of Israel

00:19:02.620 --> 00:19:03.100
 did according

00:19:03.100 --> 00:19:04.120
 to all that the Lord

00:19:04.120 --> 00:19:04.940
 had commanded Moses

00:19:04.940 --> 00:19:06.420
 highlights the importance

00:19:06.420 --> 00:19:07.160
 of obedience

00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.400
 but these summary statements

00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:11.740
 also serve another function

00:19:11.740 --> 00:19:12.779
 in chapter 39

00:19:12.779 --> 00:19:13.400
 verse 32

00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:13.820
 it says

00:19:13.820 --> 00:19:14.900
 thus all the work

00:19:14.900 --> 00:19:15.700
 of the tabernacle

00:19:15.700 --> 00:19:16.660
 of the tenth meeting

00:19:16.660 --> 00:19:18.380
 was finished

00:19:18.380 --> 00:19:19.900
 which is similar

00:19:19.900 --> 00:19:21.480
 to Genesis 2-1

00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:23.120
 referring to God's

00:19:23.120 --> 00:19:23.720
 seventh day

00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:24.840
 of creation

00:19:24.840 --> 00:19:26.660
 thus the heavens

00:19:26.660 --> 00:19:27.220
 and the earth

00:19:27.220 --> 00:19:28.360
 were finished

00:19:28.360 --> 00:19:29.940
 if that were

00:19:29.940 --> 00:19:30.880
 the only parallel

00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:32.519
 we probably wouldn't think

00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:33.340
 that it's an intentional

00:19:33.340 --> 00:19:33.779
 allusion

00:19:33.779 --> 00:19:34.600
 but there's more

00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:36.740
 verses 42-43

00:19:36.740 --> 00:19:37.419
 say this

00:19:37.419 --> 00:19:38.699
 according to all

00:19:38.699 --> 00:19:39.159
 that the Lord

00:19:39.159 --> 00:19:39.980
 had commanded Moses

00:19:39.980 --> 00:19:40.559
 so the people

00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:40.919
 of Israel

00:19:40.919 --> 00:19:42.099
 had done all the work

00:19:42.099 --> 00:19:43.619
 and Moses saw

00:19:43.619 --> 00:19:44.359
 all the work

00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:45.359
 and behold

00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:46.319
 they had done it

00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:47.119
 as the Lord

00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:47.639
 had commanded

00:19:47.639 --> 00:19:48.799
 so had they done it

00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:49.319
 then Moses

00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:50.519
 blessed them

00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:52.599
 similarly it says

00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:53.679
 in Genesis 1-31

00:19:53.679 --> 00:19:55.339
 God saw everything

00:19:55.339 --> 00:19:56.199
 he had made

00:19:56.199 --> 00:19:57.399
 and behold

00:19:57.399 --> 00:19:59.099
 it was very good

00:19:59.099 --> 00:20:02.039
 in Genesis 2-3

00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:02.539
 he says

00:20:02.539 --> 00:20:03.559
 God blessed

00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:05.179
 the seventh day

00:20:05.179 --> 00:20:06.959
 Moses seeing

00:20:06.959 --> 00:20:08.159
 and then beholding

00:20:08.159 --> 00:20:09.199
 and then blessing

00:20:09.199 --> 00:20:10.619
 followed the sequence

00:20:10.619 --> 00:20:11.559
 of God's actions

00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:12.159
 at the end

00:20:12.159 --> 00:20:13.359
 of his creative work

00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:14.259
 after seven days

00:20:14.259 --> 00:20:14.740
 of creation

00:20:14.740 --> 00:20:16.559
 in this way

00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:17.139
 the construction

00:20:17.139 --> 00:20:18.059
 of the tabernacle

00:20:18.059 --> 00:20:19.259
 is patterned

00:20:19.259 --> 00:20:20.199
 after the creation

00:20:20.199 --> 00:20:21.139
 of the world

00:20:21.139 --> 00:20:22.459
 and serves

00:20:22.459 --> 00:20:23.339
 as a type

00:20:23.339 --> 00:20:24.859
 of a new creation

00:20:24.859 --> 00:20:25.439
 that points

00:20:25.439 --> 00:20:26.079
 to the ultimate

00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:26.779
 new creation

00:20:26.779 --> 00:20:27.619
 in Jesus Christ

00:20:27.619 --> 00:20:29.119
 the tabernacle

00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:29.779
 is a step

00:20:29.779 --> 00:20:31.119
 toward unbroken

00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:31.619
 fellowship

00:20:31.619 --> 00:20:32.519
 that Adam and Eve

00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:33.299
 once enjoyed

00:20:33.299 --> 00:20:33.839
 at the beginning

00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:35.079
 of the created world

00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:37.379
 the new creation

00:20:37.379 --> 00:20:38.739
 motif has surfaced

00:20:38.739 --> 00:20:39.319
 several times

00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:39.899
 already throughout

00:20:39.899 --> 00:20:40.459
 this book

00:20:40.459 --> 00:20:41.339
 through the use

00:20:41.339 --> 00:20:42.259
 of the number seven

00:20:42.259 --> 00:20:44.759
 which mirrors

00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:45.479
 the seven days

00:20:45.479 --> 00:20:45.959
 of creation

00:20:45.959 --> 00:20:46.639
 the feast

00:20:46.639 --> 00:20:47.379
 of unleavened bread

00:20:47.379 --> 00:20:48.339
 was to be observed

00:20:48.339 --> 00:20:49.319
 for seven days

00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:50.199
 and the Passover

00:20:50.199 --> 00:20:51.599
 celebrated on the seventh day

00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:53.439
 Israelites were to observe

00:20:53.439 --> 00:20:54.619
 the seventh day

00:20:54.619 --> 00:20:55.119
 of rest

00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:56.099
 the Sabbath day

00:20:56.099 --> 00:20:57.339
 just as God

00:20:57.339 --> 00:20:58.579
 rested on the seventh day

00:20:58.579 --> 00:20:59.980
 they were to let

00:20:59.980 --> 00:21:01.019
 the land rest

00:21:01.019 --> 00:21:01.939
 and lie fallow

00:21:01.939 --> 00:21:03.000
 on the seventh year

00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:04.099
 and also

00:21:04.099 --> 00:21:04.879
 on the seventh year

00:21:04.879 --> 00:21:06.059
 they were to emancipate

00:21:06.059 --> 00:21:07.579
 all of their Hebrew slaves

00:21:07.579 --> 00:21:09.039
 free them from their work

00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:10.839
 and when the glory

00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:11.240
 of the Lord

00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:12.819
 dwelt on Mount Sinai

00:21:12.819 --> 00:21:13.519
 the cloud

00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:14.319
 it said covered

00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:15.259
 the cloud of God's glory

00:21:15.259 --> 00:21:15.720
 covered it

00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:16.500
 six days

00:21:16.500 --> 00:21:18.099
 and on the seventh day

00:21:18.099 --> 00:21:19.299
 God called to Moses

00:21:19.299 --> 00:21:20.139
 out of the midst

00:21:20.139 --> 00:21:20.679
 of the cloud

00:21:20.679 --> 00:21:23.220
 there were seven lamps

00:21:23.220 --> 00:21:24.720
 on the golden lampstand

00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:25.659
 within the tabernacle

00:21:25.660 --> 00:21:27.080
 and the consecration

00:21:27.080 --> 00:21:27.720
 and ordination

00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:28.180
 of priests

00:21:28.180 --> 00:21:29.480
 took seven days

00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:32.540
 in addition

00:21:32.540 --> 00:21:33.300
 to all of this

00:21:33.300 --> 00:21:33.759
 I mentioned

00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:34.600
 several weeks ago

00:21:34.600 --> 00:21:35.140
 that throughout

00:21:35.140 --> 00:21:36.259
 the tabernacle narrative

00:21:36.259 --> 00:21:37.440
 we find the phrase

00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:38.519
 the Lord said

00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:39.060
 to Moses

00:21:39.060 --> 00:21:39.860
 exactly

00:21:39.860 --> 00:21:41.160
 seven times

00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:42.940
 six times

00:21:42.940 --> 00:21:43.620
 it is connected

00:21:43.620 --> 00:21:44.660
 to various instructions

00:21:44.660 --> 00:21:45.720
 regarding the tabernacle

00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:46.980
 but on the seventh time

00:21:46.980 --> 00:21:49.080
 it's connected

00:21:49.080 --> 00:21:50.160
 to the Lord's instruction

00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:51.000
 regarding the Sabbath

00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:53.119
 interestingly enough

00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:54.460
 in chapter 40

00:21:54.460 --> 00:21:55.920
 verses 16 to 32

00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:57.859
 after the summary statement

00:21:57.859 --> 00:21:58.819
 in verse 16

00:21:58.819 --> 00:22:00.200
 it says that

00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:00.519
 this

00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:02.279
 this Moses did

00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:02.920
 according to all

00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:03.359
 that the Lord

00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:04.059
 had commanded him

00:22:04.059 --> 00:22:05.160
 the phrase

00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:06.319
 as the Lord

00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:06.960
 commanded

00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:07.720
 as the Lord

00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:08.140
 had commanded

00:22:08.140 --> 00:22:08.500
 Moses

00:22:08.500 --> 00:22:09.980
 also occurs

00:22:09.980 --> 00:22:11.460
 exactly seven times

00:22:11.460 --> 00:22:12.259
 throughout the narrative

00:22:12.259 --> 00:22:14.680
 forming another parallel

00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:15.759
 so

00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:17.440
 all of this

00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:18.500
 is also similar

00:22:18.500 --> 00:22:19.140
 to how

00:22:19.140 --> 00:22:20.259
 in Genesis 8 13

00:22:20.259 --> 00:22:21.359
 after the flood

00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:22.379
 of judgment

00:22:22.379 --> 00:22:24.799
 of the sinful world

00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:26.319
 God brings about

00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:27.660
 the waters to recede

00:22:27.660 --> 00:22:29.539
 and that happened

00:22:29.539 --> 00:22:30.779
 on the first day

00:22:30.779 --> 00:22:32.200
 of the first month

00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:33.000
 new creations

00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:34.359
 surfaced from the flood judgment

00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:35.319
 on the first day

00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:36.000
 of the first month

00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:37.160
 and not surprisingly

00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:38.460
 in Exodus 40 verse 2

00:22:38.460 --> 00:22:39.859
 it is on the first day

00:22:39.859 --> 00:22:40.519
 of the first month

00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:41.339
 that the tabernacle

00:22:41.339 --> 00:22:42.259
 is set up

00:22:42.259 --> 00:22:43.079
 it's erected

00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:46.619
 because the old creation

00:22:46.619 --> 00:22:47.539
 is fallen

00:22:47.539 --> 00:22:48.759
 God is bringing about

00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:49.680
 a new creation

00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:50.860
 where he will have

00:22:50.860 --> 00:22:51.799
 unbroken fellowship

00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:52.620
 with his people

00:22:52.620 --> 00:22:53.560
 once again

00:22:53.560 --> 00:22:56.900
 the tabernacle

00:22:56.900 --> 00:22:58.420
 points to the ultimate

00:22:58.420 --> 00:22:59.539
 new creation

00:22:59.539 --> 00:23:00.120
 that is brought

00:23:00.120 --> 00:23:00.640
 to fulfillment

00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:01.320
 by Jesus

00:23:01.320 --> 00:23:03.279
 it says in Galatians 6

00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:04.140
 14 to 15

00:23:04.140 --> 00:23:05.220
 that the cross

00:23:05.220 --> 00:23:06.220
 of our Lord Jesus Christ

00:23:06.220 --> 00:23:06.860
 brings about

00:23:06.860 --> 00:23:07.880
 a new creation

00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:10.039
 2 Corinthians 5 17

00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:10.620
 says therefore

00:23:10.620 --> 00:23:12.100
 if anyone is in Christ

00:23:12.100 --> 00:23:14.100
 he is a new creation

00:23:14.100 --> 00:23:15.920
 the old has passed away

00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:16.460
 behold

00:23:16.460 --> 00:23:17.420
 the new

00:23:17.420 --> 00:23:18.480
 has come

00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:20.819
 from the destruction

00:23:20.819 --> 00:23:21.500
 and debris

00:23:21.500 --> 00:23:23.220
 of our own sinful lives

00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:24.579
 God brings forth

00:23:24.579 --> 00:23:25.380
 a new creation

00:23:25.380 --> 00:23:25.980
 for us

00:23:25.980 --> 00:23:27.660
 so for those of you

00:23:27.660 --> 00:23:28.200
 who are

00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:29.620
 discouraged

00:23:29.620 --> 00:23:30.740
 and dejected

00:23:30.740 --> 00:23:31.579
 from the sin

00:23:31.579 --> 00:23:32.400
 in your own life

00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:33.480
 if you're not yet

00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:34.039
 a Christian

00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:34.600
 and wondering

00:23:34.600 --> 00:23:35.500
 if God can make

00:23:35.500 --> 00:23:36.579
 something of your life

00:23:36.579 --> 00:23:37.299
 he can

00:23:37.299 --> 00:23:39.480
 he can bring about

00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:40.240
 a new creation

00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:41.559
 in your own life

00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:42.819
 and make you

00:23:42.819 --> 00:23:43.879
 a new tabernacle

00:23:43.879 --> 00:23:45.099
 for his presence

00:23:45.099 --> 00:23:48.079
 speaking of the tabernacle

00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:49.179
 after Moses finishes

00:23:49.179 --> 00:23:49.759
 setting it up

00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:50.799
 it says in chapter 40

00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:51.519
 verse 34

00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:52.819
 then the cloud

00:23:52.819 --> 00:23:54.059
 covered the tent of meeting

00:23:54.059 --> 00:23:55.819
 and the glory of the Lord

00:23:55.819 --> 00:23:57.480
 filled the tabernacle

00:23:57.480 --> 00:23:59.539
 when Yahweh

00:23:59.539 --> 00:24:00.240
 the Lord

00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:02.019
 descended upon Mount Sinai

00:24:02.019 --> 00:24:02.940
 in Exodus 24

00:24:02.940 --> 00:24:04.899
 to confirm the covenant

00:24:04.899 --> 00:24:06.119
 that he had made

00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:06.799
 with Israel

00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:08.480
 the same language

00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:09.599
 was used to describe

00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:10.819
 the appearance of God

00:24:10.819 --> 00:24:13.359
 he said that the cloud

00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:14.539
 covered the mountains

00:24:14.539 --> 00:24:15.700
 in the same way

00:24:15.700 --> 00:24:16.139
 that the cloud

00:24:16.139 --> 00:24:17.500
 now covers the tabernacle

00:24:17.500 --> 00:24:19.099
 it also says

00:24:19.099 --> 00:24:20.139
 that the glory of the Lord

00:24:20.139 --> 00:24:21.779
 dwelt on Mount Sinai

00:24:21.779 --> 00:24:22.460
 in the same way

00:24:22.460 --> 00:24:24.139
 that the glory of the Lord

00:24:24.139 --> 00:24:26.019
 now filled the tabernacle

00:24:26.019 --> 00:24:27.259
 the filling

00:24:27.259 --> 00:24:28.439
 here represents

00:24:28.439 --> 00:24:29.419
 the indwelling

00:24:29.419 --> 00:24:30.419
 of the tent of meeting

00:24:30.419 --> 00:24:31.279
 God himself

00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:32.599
 coming to dwell there

00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:33.859
 make it his dwelling place

00:24:33.859 --> 00:24:35.460
 so the tabernacle

00:24:35.460 --> 00:24:36.359
 represents

00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:37.779
 the new portable

00:24:37.779 --> 00:24:38.579
 Mount Sinai

00:24:38.579 --> 00:24:40.000
 it's a miniature

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:41.259
 portable Mount Sinai

00:24:41.259 --> 00:24:41.880
 that's going to now

00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:43.259
 travel with Israelites

00:24:43.259 --> 00:24:44.759
 God has now moved

00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:46.380
 into the Israelite camp

00:24:46.380 --> 00:24:48.279
 if you recall

00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:49.339
 from chapter 33

00:24:49.339 --> 00:24:50.980
 prior to the completion

00:24:50.980 --> 00:24:51.839
 of the tabernacle

00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:52.759
 or the tent of meeting

00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:53.740
 the Israelites

00:24:53.740 --> 00:24:54.740
 had another

00:24:54.740 --> 00:24:56.500
 more temporary

00:24:56.500 --> 00:24:57.380
 tent of meeting

00:24:57.380 --> 00:24:58.400
 to which Moses

00:24:58.400 --> 00:24:59.279
 would go to meet

00:24:59.279 --> 00:24:59.859
 with the Lord

00:24:59.859 --> 00:25:01.759
 a distinguishing feature

00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:02.720
 of that temporary

00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:03.359
 tent of meeting

00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:03.980
 was that it was

00:25:03.980 --> 00:25:05.099
 outside the camp

00:25:05.099 --> 00:25:06.400
 far away

00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:07.259
 from the camp

00:25:07.259 --> 00:25:09.180
 at that point

00:25:09.180 --> 00:25:10.240
 that signified

00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:10.920
 that Yahweh

00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:12.180
 was inaccessible

00:25:12.180 --> 00:25:12.839
 to the Israelites

00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:14.779
 he could not come

00:25:14.779 --> 00:25:16.480
 into their sinful camp

00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:19.039
 but now

00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:20.119
 that

00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:21.500
 the tabernacle

00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:22.420
 has been completed

00:25:22.420 --> 00:25:25.000
 and some of the sacrifices

00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:26.259
 have been offered

00:25:26.259 --> 00:25:28.319
 the God himself

00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:29.940
 enters the tent

00:25:29.940 --> 00:25:31.039
 and dwells in it

00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:31.779
 previously

00:25:31.779 --> 00:25:32.700
 at the tent of meeting

00:25:32.700 --> 00:25:33.640
 the temporary tent of meeting

00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:34.019
 Moses

00:25:34.019 --> 00:25:35.240
 went into the tent

00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:36.279
 and God spoke to him

00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:37.059
 from the outside

00:25:37.059 --> 00:25:37.779
 by the entrance

00:25:37.779 --> 00:25:39.259
 but now it's the Lord

00:25:39.259 --> 00:25:40.700
 who himself enters

00:25:40.700 --> 00:25:41.480
 the tent

00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:42.299
 to the tabernacle

00:25:42.299 --> 00:25:44.339
 previously

00:25:44.339 --> 00:25:45.859
 the temporary tent

00:25:45.859 --> 00:25:46.880
 was far away

00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:47.519
 from the camp

00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:48.799
 but now the tabernacle

00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:49.900
 is at the very center

00:25:49.900 --> 00:25:51.000
 at the middle

00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:51.839
 of all

00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:52.720
 surrounded by all

00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:53.400
 the other tents

00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:54.359
 of the Israelites

00:25:54.359 --> 00:25:56.000
 so this represents

00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:56.700
 progress

00:25:56.700 --> 00:25:57.960
 in Israel's relationship

00:25:57.960 --> 00:25:59.140
 with Yahweh

00:25:59.140 --> 00:25:59.839
 it's a new level

00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:00.519
 of intimacy

00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:01.620
 and communion

00:26:01.620 --> 00:26:03.940
 then verses 36

00:26:03.940 --> 00:26:04.519
 to 38

00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:05.620
 give us more detail

00:26:05.620 --> 00:26:06.100
 about what

00:26:06.100 --> 00:26:06.660
 the disappearance

00:26:06.660 --> 00:26:07.140
 of God

00:26:07.140 --> 00:26:07.680
 in a cloud

00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:08.220
 was like

00:26:08.220 --> 00:26:10.039
 throughout all

00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:10.600
 their journeys

00:26:10.600 --> 00:26:11.840
 whenever the cloud

00:26:11.840 --> 00:26:12.519
 was taken up

00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:13.740
 from over the tabernacle

00:26:13.740 --> 00:26:15.120
 the people of Israel

00:26:15.120 --> 00:26:15.840
 would set out

00:26:15.840 --> 00:26:17.360
 but if the cloud

00:26:17.360 --> 00:26:18.380
 was not taken up

00:26:18.380 --> 00:26:19.240
 then they did not

00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:19.680
 set out

00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:20.259
 till the day

00:26:20.259 --> 00:26:21.580
 that it was taken up

00:26:21.580 --> 00:26:23.100
 for the cloud

00:26:23.100 --> 00:26:23.539
 of the Lord

00:26:23.539 --> 00:26:24.440
 was on the tabernacle

00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:25.000
 by day

00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:26.039
 and fire

00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:26.559
 was in it

00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:27.100
 by night

00:26:27.100 --> 00:26:27.900
 in the sight

00:26:27.900 --> 00:26:28.720
 of all the house

00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:29.140
 of Israel

00:26:29.140 --> 00:26:29.799
 throughout all

00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:30.360
 their journeys

00:26:30.360 --> 00:26:32.240
 once again

00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:33.000
 as we have seen

00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:34.099
 numerous times

00:26:34.099 --> 00:26:34.819
 throughout Exodus

00:26:34.819 --> 00:26:35.500
 the cloud

00:26:35.500 --> 00:26:36.000
 of the Lord

00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:37.039
 is associated

00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:38.200
 with the fire

00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:39.000
 of the Lord

00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:40.859
 even in chapter 24

00:26:40.859 --> 00:26:41.480
 when the Lord

00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:42.299
 descended upon

00:26:42.299 --> 00:26:42.920
 Mount Sinai

00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:43.359
 it said that

00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:43.900
 the cloud

00:26:43.900 --> 00:26:44.799
 covered the mountains

00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:45.700
 but then

00:26:45.700 --> 00:26:46.400
 the appearance

00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:47.059
 of the glory

00:26:47.059 --> 00:26:47.480
 of the Lord

00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:47.799
 it said

00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:48.200
 was like

00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:48.859
 a devouring

00:26:48.859 --> 00:26:49.500
 fire

00:26:49.500 --> 00:26:50.420
 on top

00:26:50.420 --> 00:26:50.960
 of the mountain

00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:52.599
 the cloud

00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:53.099
 of glory

00:26:53.099 --> 00:26:53.880
 that is filling

00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:54.660
 the tabernacle

00:26:54.660 --> 00:26:55.339
 is probably

00:26:55.339 --> 00:26:55.920
 the same

00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:56.819
 as that cloud

00:26:56.819 --> 00:26:57.440
 and fire

00:26:57.440 --> 00:26:58.519
 the same

00:26:58.519 --> 00:26:59.119
 as the pillar

00:26:59.119 --> 00:26:59.700
 of fire

00:26:59.700 --> 00:27:00.160
 and cloud

00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:00.680
 that we saw

00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:01.059
 earlier

00:27:01.059 --> 00:27:02.019
 in Israel's

00:27:02.019 --> 00:27:02.819
 wilderness journey

00:27:02.819 --> 00:27:04.119
 it said

00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:04.559
 in Exodus

00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:05.159
 13

00:27:05.159 --> 00:27:06.099
 21-22

00:27:06.099 --> 00:27:06.639
 and the Lord

00:27:06.639 --> 00:27:07.319
 went before

00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:08.000
 them by day

00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:08.500
 in a pillar

00:27:08.500 --> 00:27:09.079
 of cloud

00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:09.839
 to lead them

00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:10.460
 along the way

00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:11.679
 and by night

00:27:11.679 --> 00:27:12.139
 in a pillar

00:27:12.139 --> 00:27:12.720
 of fire

00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:13.359
 to give them

00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:13.679
 light

00:27:13.679 --> 00:27:14.220
 that they

00:27:14.220 --> 00:27:14.899
 might travel

00:27:14.899 --> 00:27:15.439
 by day

00:27:15.439 --> 00:27:16.159
 and by night

00:27:16.159 --> 00:27:17.099
 the pillar

00:27:17.099 --> 00:27:17.559
 of cloud

00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:18.019
 by day

00:27:18.019 --> 00:27:18.279
 and the

00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:18.439
 pillar

00:27:18.439 --> 00:27:18.859
 of fire

00:27:18.859 --> 00:27:19.259
 by night

00:27:19.259 --> 00:27:19.659
 did not

00:27:19.659 --> 00:27:20.139
 depart

00:27:20.139 --> 00:27:21.019
 from before

00:27:21.019 --> 00:27:21.859
 the people

00:27:21.859 --> 00:27:23.039
 if you were

00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:23.720
 here with us

00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:24.179
 when we were

00:27:24.179 --> 00:27:24.639
 preaching in

00:27:24.639 --> 00:27:25.319
 Exodus 13

00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:25.720
 you know

00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:26.220
 this already

00:27:26.220 --> 00:27:27.299
 people often

00:27:27.299 --> 00:27:27.919
 think of these

00:27:27.919 --> 00:27:28.539
 two pillars

00:27:28.539 --> 00:27:29.379
 as two different

00:27:29.379 --> 00:27:29.899
 pillars

00:27:29.899 --> 00:27:30.599
 but they're

00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:31.339
 actually one

00:27:31.339 --> 00:27:32.119
 and the same

00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:32.679
 pillar

00:27:32.819 --> 00:27:33.319
 because it

00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:34.179
 tells us

00:27:34.179 --> 00:27:34.539
 in Exodus

00:27:34.539 --> 00:27:34.960
 14

00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:35.819
 that the

00:27:35.819 --> 00:27:36.099
 pillar

00:27:36.099 --> 00:27:36.779
 of cloud

00:27:36.779 --> 00:27:37.240
 was what

00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:38.419
 was lighting

00:27:38.419 --> 00:27:39.279
 up the night

00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:40.980
 and so in

00:27:40.980 --> 00:27:41.700
 Exodus 14

00:27:41.700 --> 00:27:42.119
 24

00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:42.399
 it says

00:27:42.399 --> 00:27:42.659
 that the

00:27:42.659 --> 00:27:43.299
 Lord was

00:27:43.299 --> 00:27:43.960
 in the

00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:44.460
 pillar

00:27:44.460 --> 00:27:45.539
 of fire

00:27:45.539 --> 00:27:46.799
 and of cloud

00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:47.859
 a singular

00:27:47.859 --> 00:27:48.359
 pillar

00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:49.599
 of fire

00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:50.740
 and cloud

00:27:50.740 --> 00:27:52.220
 it's the one

00:27:52.220 --> 00:27:52.639
 and the same

00:27:52.639 --> 00:27:53.119
 pillar during

00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:53.460
 the day

00:27:53.460 --> 00:27:53.779
 and during

00:27:53.779 --> 00:27:54.119
 the night

00:27:54.119 --> 00:27:54.619
 but during

00:27:54.619 --> 00:27:55.139
 the day

00:27:55.139 --> 00:27:55.779
 it's the

00:27:55.779 --> 00:27:56.200
 cloud

00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:56.519
 that is

00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:56.799
 the most

00:27:56.799 --> 00:27:57.200
 visible

00:27:57.200 --> 00:27:58.119
 and during

00:27:58.119 --> 00:27:58.460
 the night

00:27:58.460 --> 00:27:59.299
 it's the fire

00:27:59.299 --> 00:27:59.919
 that is the

00:27:59.919 --> 00:28:00.700
 most visible

00:28:00.700 --> 00:28:01.840
 so it's

00:28:01.840 --> 00:28:02.200
 probably

00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:02.860
 a column

00:28:02.860 --> 00:28:03.620
 of fire

00:28:03.620 --> 00:28:04.420
 with plumage

00:28:04.420 --> 00:28:04.980
 of smoke

00:28:04.980 --> 00:28:06.400
 emanating

00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:06.840
 from it

00:28:06.840 --> 00:28:07.980
 so it's

00:28:07.980 --> 00:28:08.500
 not wrong

00:28:08.500 --> 00:28:09.200
 to describe

00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:10.100
 the pillar

00:28:10.100 --> 00:28:10.700
 of smoke

00:28:10.700 --> 00:28:11.400
 as a pillar

00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:11.940
 of cloud

00:28:11.940 --> 00:28:12.519
 because after

00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:12.860
 all they're

00:28:12.860 --> 00:28:13.180
 made up

00:28:13.180 --> 00:28:13.660
 of the same

00:28:13.660 --> 00:28:13.940
 thing

00:28:13.940 --> 00:28:14.420
 it's water

00:28:14.420 --> 00:28:14.880
 vapors

00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:15.940
 sticking to

00:28:15.940 --> 00:28:16.360
 dust

00:28:16.360 --> 00:28:17.000
 and particles

00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:17.460
 in the air

00:28:17.460 --> 00:28:18.700
 so really

00:28:18.700 --> 00:28:19.259
 smoke is

00:28:19.259 --> 00:28:19.960
 just dirtier

00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:20.620
 or darker

00:28:20.620 --> 00:28:21.420
 cloud

00:28:21.420 --> 00:28:23.240
 and so

00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:23.720
 the pillar

00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:24.340
 of cloud

00:28:24.340 --> 00:28:24.860
 and fire

00:28:24.860 --> 00:28:25.319
 represents

00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:25.759
 the very

00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:26.340
 presence

00:28:26.340 --> 00:28:26.840
 of God

00:28:26.840 --> 00:28:27.799
 of that

00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:28.319
 that never

00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:29.019
 leaves the

00:28:29.019 --> 00:28:29.480
 Israelites

00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:31.360
 when the

00:28:31.360 --> 00:28:31.720
 cloud

00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:32.339
 remained

00:28:32.339 --> 00:28:33.099
 on the

00:28:33.099 --> 00:28:33.680
 tabernacle

00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:34.579
 the Israelites

00:28:34.579 --> 00:28:35.220
 camped

00:28:35.220 --> 00:28:35.759
 but when the

00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:36.039
 cloud

00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:36.460
 lifted

00:28:36.460 --> 00:28:37.360
 and departed

00:28:37.360 --> 00:28:38.259
 they followed

00:28:38.259 --> 00:28:38.740
 the cloud

00:28:38.740 --> 00:28:39.839
 and let the

00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:40.360
 cloud lead

00:28:40.360 --> 00:28:40.799
 them on

00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:41.319
 their journey

00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:42.860
 by day

00:28:42.860 --> 00:28:43.640
 or by night

00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:44.180
 in cloud

00:28:44.180 --> 00:28:44.539
 and fire

00:28:44.539 --> 00:28:44.920
 the Lord

00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:45.539
 dwelled

00:28:45.539 --> 00:28:46.279
 with his

00:28:46.279 --> 00:28:46.640
 people

00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:47.620
 and in this

00:28:47.620 --> 00:28:48.140
 way he led

00:28:48.140 --> 00:28:48.480
 them throughout

00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:49.000
 all their

00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:49.319
 journeys

00:28:49.319 --> 00:28:49.920
 all the way

00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:50.180
 to the

00:28:50.180 --> 00:28:50.480
 promised

00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:50.799
 land

00:28:50.799 --> 00:28:52.740
 that this

00:28:52.740 --> 00:28:53.220
 tabernacle

00:28:53.220 --> 00:28:54.019
 reveals the

00:28:54.019 --> 00:28:54.740
 way God

00:28:54.740 --> 00:28:55.319
 intends to

00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:55.860
 relate to

00:28:55.860 --> 00:28:56.360
 his people

00:28:56.360 --> 00:28:56.799
 and to

00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:57.200
 relate to

00:28:57.200 --> 00:28:57.539
 us

00:28:57.539 --> 00:28:58.700
 he's not

00:28:58.700 --> 00:28:59.180
 in some

00:28:59.180 --> 00:29:00.059
 remote place

00:29:00.059 --> 00:29:00.799
 far away

00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:01.940
 he's nearby

00:29:01.940 --> 00:29:04.019
 nor is there

00:29:04.019 --> 00:29:04.779
 a time in the

00:29:04.779 --> 00:29:05.480
 day or a

00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:05.980
 day in the

00:29:05.980 --> 00:29:06.740
 year when

00:29:06.740 --> 00:29:07.319
 he takes a

00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:08.180
 break or

00:29:08.180 --> 00:29:08.840
 goes off

00:29:08.840 --> 00:29:09.180
 duty

00:29:09.180 --> 00:29:10.420
 God is

00:29:10.420 --> 00:29:11.160
 with us

00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:11.759
 by day

00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:12.840
 and by

00:29:12.840 --> 00:29:13.180
 night

00:29:13.180 --> 00:29:14.200
 vigilantly

00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:15.080
 watching over

00:29:15.080 --> 00:29:15.840
 us and

00:29:15.840 --> 00:29:16.340
 intimately

00:29:16.340 --> 00:29:17.279
 caring for

00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:17.680
 us

00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:19.039
 God desires

00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:19.620
 communion

00:29:19.620 --> 00:29:20.759
 with us

00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:22.500
 as the

00:29:22.500 --> 00:29:23.160
 chorus of

00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:23.539
 the hymn

00:29:23.539 --> 00:29:23.960
 in the

00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:24.240
 garden

00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:24.860
 says he

00:29:24.860 --> 00:29:25.640
 walks with

00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:25.900
 me

00:29:25.900 --> 00:29:26.820
 and he

00:29:26.820 --> 00:29:27.300
 talks

00:29:27.300 --> 00:29:27.820
 with me

00:29:27.820 --> 00:29:28.620
 and he

00:29:28.620 --> 00:29:29.220
 tells me

00:29:29.220 --> 00:29:29.700
 I am

00:29:29.700 --> 00:29:30.160
 his own

00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:31.320
 and the

00:29:31.320 --> 00:29:31.860
 joy we

00:29:31.860 --> 00:29:32.340
 share

00:29:32.340 --> 00:29:33.000
 as we

00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:33.340
 tarry

00:29:33.340 --> 00:29:33.620
 there

00:29:33.620 --> 00:29:34.360
 none

00:29:34.360 --> 00:29:34.759
 other

00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:35.180
 has

00:29:35.180 --> 00:29:35.519
 ever

00:29:35.519 --> 00:29:35.880
 known

00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:37.840
 in order

00:29:37.840 --> 00:29:38.360
 to walk

00:29:38.360 --> 00:29:39.000
 ever more

00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:39.620
 closely

00:29:39.620 --> 00:29:40.560
 with us

00:29:40.560 --> 00:29:41.440
 God sent

00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:41.840
 his only

00:29:41.840 --> 00:29:42.200
 son

00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:42.560
 Jesus

00:29:42.560 --> 00:29:43.019
 to dwell

00:29:43.019 --> 00:29:43.320
 among

00:29:43.320 --> 00:29:43.680
 us

00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:44.280
 and it's

00:29:44.280 --> 00:29:44.440
 in

00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:44.780
 Jesus

00:29:44.780 --> 00:29:45.140
 that we

00:29:45.140 --> 00:29:45.500
 see the

00:29:45.500 --> 00:29:46.140
 embodiment

00:29:46.140 --> 00:29:46.860
 of the

00:29:46.860 --> 00:29:47.280
 pillar of

00:29:47.280 --> 00:29:47.580
 cloud

00:29:47.580 --> 00:29:48.060
 and fire

00:29:48.060 --> 00:29:48.300
 this

00:29:48.300 --> 00:29:48.840
 manifestation

00:29:48.840 --> 00:29:49.380
 of God

00:29:49.380 --> 00:29:50.360
 Jesus

00:29:50.360 --> 00:29:50.700
 is the

00:29:50.700 --> 00:29:50.900
 one

00:29:50.900 --> 00:29:51.060
 who

00:29:51.060 --> 00:29:51.660
 baptizes

00:29:51.660 --> 00:29:51.940
 us

00:29:51.940 --> 00:29:52.320
 with

00:29:52.320 --> 00:29:53.360
 spirit

00:29:53.360 --> 00:29:54.380
 and fire

00:29:54.380 --> 00:29:56.540
 it says

00:29:56.540 --> 00:29:56.800
 in Luke

00:29:56.800 --> 00:29:57.360
 316

00:29:57.360 --> 00:29:58.620
 just as

00:29:58.620 --> 00:29:58.820
 in the

00:29:58.820 --> 00:29:58.940
 old

00:29:58.940 --> 00:29:59.240
 testament

00:29:59.240 --> 00:29:59.620
 when the

00:29:59.620 --> 00:30:00.120
 tabernacle

00:30:00.120 --> 00:30:00.460
 was

00:30:00.460 --> 00:30:00.960
 completed

00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:01.560
 the cloud

00:30:01.560 --> 00:30:02.020
 covered

00:30:02.020 --> 00:30:02.280
 it

00:30:02.280 --> 00:30:02.920
 and his

00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:03.200
 glory

00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:03.540
 filled

00:30:03.540 --> 00:30:03.780
 it

00:30:03.780 --> 00:30:04.420
 just as

00:30:04.420 --> 00:30:04.680
 when

00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:05.160
 Solomon

00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:05.440
 later

00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:05.820
 completes

00:30:05.820 --> 00:30:05.980
 the

00:30:05.980 --> 00:30:06.240
 temple

00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:06.520
 of the

00:30:06.520 --> 00:30:06.660
 Lord

00:30:06.660 --> 00:30:06.860
 the

00:30:06.860 --> 00:30:07.260
 cloud

00:30:07.260 --> 00:30:07.740
 covered

00:30:07.740 --> 00:30:07.940
 it

00:30:07.940 --> 00:30:08.640
 and his

00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:09.020
 glory

00:30:09.020 --> 00:30:09.500
 filled

00:30:09.500 --> 00:30:09.760
 it

00:30:09.760 --> 00:30:10.500
 when

00:30:10.500 --> 00:30:10.900
 Jesus

00:30:10.900 --> 00:30:11.620
 glory

00:30:11.620 --> 00:30:11.860
 as

00:30:11.860 --> 00:30:12.000
 the

00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:12.160
 son

00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:12.300
 of

00:30:12.300 --> 00:30:12.540
 God

00:30:12.540 --> 00:30:12.700
 is

00:30:12.700 --> 00:30:13.140
 briefly

00:30:13.140 --> 00:30:13.760
 unveiled

00:30:13.760 --> 00:30:14.080
 at the

00:30:14.080 --> 00:30:14.880
 transfiguration

00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:15.700
 it says

00:30:15.700 --> 00:30:15.980
 in Luke

00:30:15.980 --> 00:30:16.440
 934

00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:16.920
 that a

00:30:16.920 --> 00:30:17.480
 cloud

00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:19.160
 that a

00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:19.559
 cloud

00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:19.960
 came

00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:20.120
 and

00:30:20.120 --> 00:30:20.900
 overshadowed

00:30:20.900 --> 00:30:20.980
 them

00:30:20.980 --> 00:30:21.099
 it

00:30:21.099 --> 00:30:21.460
 covers

00:30:21.460 --> 00:30:21.700
 them

00:30:21.700 --> 00:30:23.180
 and

00:30:23.180 --> 00:30:23.579
 after

00:30:23.579 --> 00:30:23.839
 his

00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:24.299
 resurrection

00:30:24.299 --> 00:30:24.900
 and ascension

00:30:24.900 --> 00:30:25.380
 when Jesus

00:30:25.380 --> 00:30:26.000
 sends his

00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:26.579
 holy spirit

00:30:26.579 --> 00:30:27.180
 to his

00:30:27.180 --> 00:30:27.480
 people

00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:27.779
 in Acts

00:30:27.779 --> 00:30:28.240
 2 3

00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:29.279
 what appears

00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:29.920
 is divided

00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:30.339
 tongues

00:30:30.339 --> 00:30:30.720
 as a

00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:31.319
 fire

00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:32.599
 resting

00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:33.400
 on each

00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:33.839
 of the

00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:34.279
 believers

00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:35.539
 the

00:30:35.539 --> 00:30:35.900
 God

00:30:35.900 --> 00:30:36.099
 who

00:30:36.099 --> 00:30:36.860
 indwelled

00:30:36.860 --> 00:30:37.099
 the

00:30:37.099 --> 00:30:37.819
 tabernacle

00:30:37.819 --> 00:30:38.680
 as the

00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:39.019
 cloud

00:30:39.019 --> 00:30:39.660
 and fire

00:30:39.660 --> 00:30:41.059
 now dwells

00:30:41.059 --> 00:30:41.680
 in us

00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:42.279
 as God's

00:30:42.279 --> 00:30:42.539
 people

00:30:42.539 --> 00:30:43.440
 in Jesus

00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:44.640
 through the

00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:45.279
 holy spirit

00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:48.000
 the

00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:48.240
 God

00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:48.379
 who

00:30:48.379 --> 00:30:48.740
 filled

00:30:48.740 --> 00:30:48.899
 the

00:30:48.899 --> 00:30:49.319
 tabernacle

00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:49.639
 now

00:30:49.639 --> 00:30:50.279
 fills

00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:50.740
 us

00:30:50.740 --> 00:30:51.059
 as

00:30:51.059 --> 00:30:51.259
 his

00:30:51.259 --> 00:30:51.639
 people

00:30:51.639 --> 00:30:51.940
 because

00:30:51.940 --> 00:30:52.299
 we

00:30:52.299 --> 00:30:52.519
 as

00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:52.639
 the

00:30:52.639 --> 00:30:52.859
 people

00:30:52.859 --> 00:30:53.039
 of

00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:53.240
 God

00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:53.379
 are

00:30:53.379 --> 00:30:53.579
 the

00:30:53.579 --> 00:30:54.220
 ultimate

00:30:54.220 --> 00:30:55.299
 tabernacle

00:30:55.299 --> 00:30:55.480
 the

00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:55.819
 dwelling

00:30:55.819 --> 00:30:56.180
 place

00:30:56.180 --> 00:30:56.339
 of

00:30:56.339 --> 00:30:56.579
 God

00:30:56.579 --> 00:30:57.500
 that's

00:30:57.500 --> 00:30:57.619
 why

00:30:57.619 --> 00:30:57.799
 in

00:30:57.799 --> 00:30:58.379
 1 Corinthians

00:30:58.379 --> 00:30:59.559
 3 16

00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:00.220
 and 6 19

00:31:00.220 --> 00:31:01.039
 we are

00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:01.519
 described

00:31:01.519 --> 00:31:02.160
 as God's

00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:02.619
 temple

00:31:02.619 --> 00:31:03.359
 and that

00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:03.839
 God's

00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:04.399
 spirit

00:31:04.399 --> 00:31:05.220
 dwells

00:31:05.220 --> 00:31:05.859
 in us

00:31:05.859 --> 00:31:07.359
 and that's

00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:07.799
 why we

00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:08.359
 are commanded

00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:09.579
 in Ephesians

00:31:09.579 --> 00:31:10.019
 5 18

00:31:10.019 --> 00:31:10.319
 to be

00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:10.740
 filled

00:31:10.740 --> 00:31:11.160
 with the

00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:11.460
 spirit

00:31:11.460 --> 00:31:13.639
 so do

00:31:13.639 --> 00:31:14.259
 you aspire

00:31:14.259 --> 00:31:14.740
 to be

00:31:14.740 --> 00:31:15.139
 filled

00:31:15.140 --> 00:31:15.500
 with the

00:31:15.500 --> 00:31:15.780
 spirit

00:31:15.780 --> 00:31:16.080
 more

00:31:16.080 --> 00:31:16.460
 and more

00:31:16.460 --> 00:31:18.980
 do you

00:31:18.980 --> 00:31:19.840
 seek to

00:31:19.840 --> 00:31:20.400
 manifest

00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:21.040
 the glory

00:31:21.040 --> 00:31:21.500
 of God

00:31:21.500 --> 00:31:21.759
 in our

00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:22.120
 lives

00:31:22.120 --> 00:31:22.480
 more

00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:23.040
 and more

00:31:23.040 --> 00:31:25.520
 if we

00:31:25.520 --> 00:31:25.940
 live

00:31:25.940 --> 00:31:26.700
 in obedience

00:31:26.700 --> 00:31:27.500
 in submission

00:31:27.500 --> 00:31:28.040
 to God

00:31:28.040 --> 00:31:29.000
 and if

00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:29.300
 we are

00:31:29.300 --> 00:31:29.700
 directed

00:31:29.700 --> 00:31:30.140
 and led

00:31:30.140 --> 00:31:30.540
 by his

00:31:30.540 --> 00:31:30.780
 spirit

00:31:30.780 --> 00:31:31.020
 and we

00:31:31.020 --> 00:31:31.340
 become

00:31:31.340 --> 00:31:31.580
 more

00:31:31.580 --> 00:31:31.840
 and more

00:31:31.840 --> 00:31:32.100
 like

00:31:32.100 --> 00:31:32.500
 Christ

00:31:32.500 --> 00:31:33.080
 in the

00:31:33.080 --> 00:31:33.320
 same

00:31:33.320 --> 00:31:33.540
 way

00:31:33.540 --> 00:31:33.860
 that the

00:31:33.860 --> 00:31:34.380
 tabernacle

00:31:34.380 --> 00:31:35.000
 displayed

00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:35.440
 the glory

00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:35.720
 of God

00:31:35.720 --> 00:31:35.960
 to the

00:31:35.960 --> 00:31:36.180
 watching

00:31:36.180 --> 00:31:36.620
 world

00:31:36.620 --> 00:31:37.360
 we too

00:31:37.360 --> 00:31:37.520
 would

00:31:37.520 --> 00:31:38.100
 display

00:31:38.100 --> 00:31:38.660
 the glory

00:31:38.660 --> 00:31:39.080
 of God

00:31:39.080 --> 00:31:39.380
 to our

00:31:39.380 --> 00:31:39.640
 neighbors

00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:42.500
 we too

00:31:42.500 --> 00:31:42.880
 would

00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:43.720
 proclaim

00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:44.240
 the name

00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:44.560
 of

00:31:44.560 --> 00:31:45.020
 Christ

00:31:45.019 --> 00:31:48.599
 we should

00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:49.019
 not be

00:31:49.019 --> 00:31:49.460
 like the

00:31:49.460 --> 00:31:49.759
 rest

00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:50.200
 of the

00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:50.400
 world

00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:50.700
 that is

00:31:50.700 --> 00:31:51.099
 not the

00:31:51.099 --> 00:31:51.420
 dwelling

00:31:51.420 --> 00:31:51.980
 place

00:31:51.980 --> 00:31:52.619
 of God

00:31:52.619 --> 00:31:53.619
 in this

00:31:53.619 --> 00:31:53.980
 special

00:31:53.980 --> 00:31:54.440
 sense

00:31:54.440 --> 00:31:55.220
 we should

00:31:55.220 --> 00:31:55.500
 be set

00:31:55.500 --> 00:31:55.900
 apart

00:31:55.900 --> 00:31:56.440
 for him

00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:57.500
 consecrated

00:31:57.500 --> 00:31:57.980
 to him

00:31:57.980 --> 00:31:58.599
 distinguished

00:31:58.599 --> 00:31:59.339
 from it

00:31:59.339 --> 00:31:59.740
 by our

00:31:59.740 --> 00:32:00.259
 obedience

00:32:00.259 --> 00:32:00.819
 and allegiance

00:32:00.819 --> 00:32:01.359
 to him

00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:03.059
 how

00:32:03.059 --> 00:32:03.480
 differently

00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:03.900
 would we

00:32:03.900 --> 00:32:04.240
 live

00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:05.660
 if we

00:32:05.660 --> 00:32:05.940
 live

00:32:05.940 --> 00:32:06.539
 with daily

00:32:06.539 --> 00:32:07.019
 awareness

00:32:07.019 --> 00:32:07.400
 that we

00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:07.960
 are the

00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:08.379
 very

00:32:08.379 --> 00:32:08.839
 dwelling

00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:09.299
 place

00:32:09.299 --> 00:32:09.559
 of the

00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:09.720
 living

00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:10.059
 God

00:32:10.059 --> 00:32:12.980
 but the

00:32:12.980 --> 00:32:13.299
 book of

00:32:13.299 --> 00:32:13.599
 Exodus

00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:14.159
 presents

00:32:14.159 --> 00:32:14.700
 us

00:32:14.700 --> 00:32:14.899
 with

00:32:14.899 --> 00:32:15.059
 a

00:32:15.059 --> 00:32:15.539
 problem

00:32:15.539 --> 00:32:16.279
 at

00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:16.440
 its

00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:16.940
 conclusion

00:32:16.940 --> 00:32:18.639
 and it

00:32:18.639 --> 00:32:19.079
 ends

00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:20.000
 with a

00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:20.519
 cliffhanger

00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:23.019
 it tells

00:32:23.019 --> 00:32:23.279
 us in

00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:24.039
 verse 35

00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:25.159
 Moses

00:32:25.159 --> 00:32:25.980
 was not

00:32:25.980 --> 00:32:26.639
 able to

00:32:26.639 --> 00:32:27.059
 enter the

00:32:27.059 --> 00:32:27.440
 tent of

00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:27.720
 meeting

00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:28.740
 because the

00:32:28.740 --> 00:32:29.179
 cloud

00:32:29.179 --> 00:32:29.980
 settled

00:32:29.980 --> 00:32:30.419
 on it

00:32:30.419 --> 00:32:31.240
 and the

00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:31.619
 glory of

00:32:31.619 --> 00:32:32.059
 the Lord

00:32:32.059 --> 00:32:32.720
 filled

00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:33.039
 the

00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:33.639
 tabernacle

00:32:33.639 --> 00:32:35.519
 it's

00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:35.839
 easy to

00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:36.119
 overlook

00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:36.480
 this but

00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:36.759
 this is

00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:37.079
 kind of

00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:37.379
 a big

00:32:37.379 --> 00:32:37.919
 problem

00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:39.240
 remember

00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:39.660
 Moses

00:32:39.660 --> 00:32:40.259
 is the

00:32:40.259 --> 00:32:40.660
 privileged

00:32:40.660 --> 00:32:41.060
 prophet

00:32:41.060 --> 00:32:41.440
 with whom

00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:41.740
 the Lord

00:32:41.740 --> 00:32:42.360
 would speak

00:32:42.360 --> 00:32:43.320
 face to

00:32:43.320 --> 00:32:43.800
 face as a

00:32:43.800 --> 00:32:44.380
 man speaks

00:32:44.380 --> 00:32:45.400
 to his

00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:45.800
 friend

00:32:45.800 --> 00:32:47.100
 if Moses

00:32:47.100 --> 00:32:47.940
 their

00:32:47.940 --> 00:32:48.560
 mediator

00:32:48.560 --> 00:32:49.759
 the one

00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:50.180
 guy who

00:32:50.180 --> 00:32:50.440
 didn't

00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:50.680
 commit

00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:51.279
 idolatry

00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:51.920
 like the

00:32:51.920 --> 00:32:52.180
 rest of

00:32:52.180 --> 00:32:52.240
 the

00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:52.640
 Israelites

00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:53.900
 cannot

00:32:53.900 --> 00:32:54.720
 enter

00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:55.539
 the

00:32:55.539 --> 00:32:55.960
 tent of

00:32:55.960 --> 00:32:56.259
 meeting

00:32:56.259 --> 00:32:56.880
 when the

00:32:56.880 --> 00:32:57.279
 Lord is

00:32:57.279 --> 00:32:57.660
 present

00:32:57.660 --> 00:32:57.960
 there

00:32:57.960 --> 00:32:59.600
 how are

00:32:59.600 --> 00:33:00.000
 any of

00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:00.080
 the

00:33:00.080 --> 00:33:00.400
 Israelites

00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:00.759
 supposed

00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:01.019
 to meet

00:33:01.019 --> 00:33:01.200
 with

00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:01.460
 God

00:33:01.460 --> 00:33:03.880
 how are

00:33:03.880 --> 00:33:04.300
 any of

00:33:04.300 --> 00:33:04.580
 God's

00:33:04.580 --> 00:33:04.779
 people

00:33:04.779 --> 00:33:05.080
 supposed

00:33:05.080 --> 00:33:05.500
 to have

00:33:05.500 --> 00:33:05.940
 communion

00:33:05.940 --> 00:33:06.259
 and

00:33:06.259 --> 00:33:06.700
 fellowship

00:33:06.700 --> 00:33:07.100
 with

00:33:07.100 --> 00:33:07.480
 God

00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:11.019
 thankfully

00:33:11.019 --> 00:33:12.019
 Exodus is

00:33:12.019 --> 00:33:12.360
 not the

00:33:12.360 --> 00:33:12.920
 last book

00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:13.559
 that Moses

00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:14.019
 wrote

00:33:14.019 --> 00:33:14.900
 and in

00:33:14.900 --> 00:33:15.380
 the sequel

00:33:15.380 --> 00:33:15.779
 the book

00:33:15.779 --> 00:33:16.380
 of Leviticus

00:33:16.380 --> 00:33:17.240
 Moses spends

00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:18.420
 seven chapters

00:33:18.420 --> 00:33:19.380
 describing the

00:33:19.380 --> 00:33:20.720
 various sacrifices

00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:21.160
 that the

00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:21.720
 Israelites were

00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:22.240
 to offer

00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:23.420
 the burnt

00:33:23.420 --> 00:33:23.819
 offerings

00:33:23.819 --> 00:33:24.240
 the grain

00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:24.559
 offerings

00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:25.000
 the peace

00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:25.400
 offerings

00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:25.799
 the sin

00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:26.120
 offerings

00:33:26.120 --> 00:33:26.400
 and the

00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:26.599
 guilt

00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:27.019
 offerings

00:33:27.019 --> 00:33:27.400
 and then

00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:28.319
 he describes

00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:29.000
 the elaborate

00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:29.799
 seven day

00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:30.420
 process

00:33:30.420 --> 00:33:31.480
 of consecrating

00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:32.400
 and ordaining

00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:33.380
 Aaron and his

00:33:33.380 --> 00:33:34.059
 sons as

00:33:34.059 --> 00:33:34.559
 priests

00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:36.360
 so even

00:33:36.360 --> 00:33:36.799
 though in

00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:37.579
 verses 29

00:33:37.579 --> 00:33:38.019
 to 31

00:33:38.019 --> 00:33:38.319
 of our

00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:38.700
 chapter

00:33:38.700 --> 00:33:39.139
 Moses

00:33:39.139 --> 00:33:39.700
 offers

00:33:39.700 --> 00:33:40.200
 some

00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:40.740
 offerings

00:33:40.740 --> 00:33:41.799
 and they

00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:42.859
 do wash

00:33:42.859 --> 00:33:43.240
 their hands

00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:43.599
 and feet

00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:44.099
 the priest

00:33:44.099 --> 00:33:44.539
 candidates

00:33:44.539 --> 00:33:45.519
 this is not

00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:46.079
 the full

00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:46.759
 process

00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:47.299
 instituted

00:33:47.299 --> 00:33:47.720
 by God

00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:48.039
 for their

00:33:48.039 --> 00:33:48.720
 consecration

00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:49.440
 and ordination

00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:50.759
 before they

00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:51.079
 can enter

00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:51.399
 the tent

00:33:51.399 --> 00:33:51.759
 of meeting

00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:53.000
 it is only

00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:53.639
 after

00:33:53.639 --> 00:33:54.619
 in Leviticus

00:33:54.619 --> 00:33:55.619
 Aaron offers

00:33:55.619 --> 00:33:56.220
 his sin

00:33:56.220 --> 00:33:56.680
 offering

00:33:56.680 --> 00:33:57.619
 and burnt

00:33:57.619 --> 00:33:57.960
 offering

00:33:57.960 --> 00:33:58.379
 and makes

00:33:58.379 --> 00:33:59.399
 atonement

00:33:59.399 --> 00:34:00.039
 for himself

00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:00.619
 and for the

00:34:00.619 --> 00:34:00.960
 people

00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:02.119
 that as it

00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:02.460
 says in

00:34:02.460 --> 00:34:02.859
 Leviticus

00:34:02.859 --> 00:34:03.539
 9 23

00:34:03.539 --> 00:34:04.180
 to 24

00:34:04.180 --> 00:34:05.340
 Moses and

00:34:05.340 --> 00:34:06.120
 Aaron went

00:34:06.120 --> 00:34:07.200
 into the

00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:07.600
 tent

00:34:07.600 --> 00:34:08.300
 of meeting

00:34:08.300 --> 00:34:09.460
 and when

00:34:09.460 --> 00:34:09.880
 they came

00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:10.220
 out

00:34:10.220 --> 00:34:10.980
 they blessed

00:34:10.980 --> 00:34:11.539
 the people

00:34:11.539 --> 00:34:12.559
 and the glory

00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:13.000
 of the Lord

00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:13.760
 appeared to

00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:14.900
 all the

00:34:14.900 --> 00:34:15.220
 people

00:34:15.220 --> 00:34:18.280
 this cliffhanger

00:34:18.280 --> 00:34:18.720
 in Exodus

00:34:18.720 --> 00:34:20.000
 points to the

00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:20.619
 necessity

00:34:20.619 --> 00:34:21.900
 of atoning

00:34:21.900 --> 00:34:22.720
 sacrifice

00:34:22.720 --> 00:34:24.539
 before people

00:34:24.539 --> 00:34:25.320
 can enter into

00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:25.840
 God's presence

00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:26.200
 and have

00:34:26.200 --> 00:34:26.820
 fellowship with

00:34:26.820 --> 00:34:27.000
 him

00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:28.700
 even the

00:34:28.700 --> 00:34:29.180
 priests

00:34:29.180 --> 00:34:30.559
 even Moses

00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:30.920
 and Aaron

00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:31.380
 needed to

00:34:31.380 --> 00:34:31.539
 make

00:34:31.539 --> 00:34:32.059
 atonement

00:34:32.059 --> 00:34:32.500
 for their

00:34:32.500 --> 00:34:32.900
 sins

00:34:32.900 --> 00:34:33.699
 and not

00:34:33.699 --> 00:34:34.159
 once

00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:34.460
 but they

00:34:34.460 --> 00:34:34.759
 had to

00:34:34.759 --> 00:34:35.079
 do this

00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:35.840
 repeatedly

00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:36.619
 because of

00:34:36.619 --> 00:34:37.340
 their weaknesses

00:34:37.340 --> 00:34:38.199
 and because

00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:38.719
 of their

00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:39.259
 sinfulness

00:34:39.259 --> 00:34:40.840
 but this

00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:41.279
 atoning

00:34:41.279 --> 00:34:41.920
 sacrifice

00:34:41.920 --> 00:34:42.739
 of the

00:34:42.739 --> 00:34:43.179
 high priest

00:34:43.179 --> 00:34:43.820
 points to

00:34:43.820 --> 00:34:44.599
 the ultimate

00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:45.420
 atoning work

00:34:45.420 --> 00:34:46.400
 of Jesus

00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:47.699
 our great

00:34:47.699 --> 00:34:48.179
 high priest

00:34:48.179 --> 00:34:48.679
 it says in

00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:49.279
 Hebrews 7

00:34:49.279 --> 00:34:49.679
 27

00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:50.960
 that Jesus

00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:52.139
 has no need

00:34:52.139 --> 00:34:52.920
 like those

00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:53.559
 high priests

00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:54.759
 to offer

00:34:54.759 --> 00:34:55.900
 sacrifices daily

00:34:55.900 --> 00:34:57.139
 first for his

00:34:57.139 --> 00:34:57.679
 own sins

00:34:57.679 --> 00:34:58.139
 and then for

00:34:58.139 --> 00:34:58.579
 those of the

00:34:58.579 --> 00:34:58.920
 people

00:34:58.920 --> 00:35:00.099
 sins

00:35:00.099 --> 00:35:01.159
 he did

00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:01.539
 this

00:35:01.539 --> 00:35:02.099
 once

00:35:02.099 --> 00:35:02.799
 for all

00:35:02.799 --> 00:35:03.420
 when he

00:35:03.420 --> 00:35:04.279
 offered up

00:35:04.279 --> 00:35:05.279
 himself

00:35:05.279 --> 00:35:07.960
 brothers and

00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:08.139
 sisters

00:35:08.139 --> 00:35:08.819
 this is why

00:35:08.819 --> 00:35:09.460
 we don't

00:35:09.460 --> 00:35:09.839
 need to

00:35:09.839 --> 00:35:10.159
 offer

00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:10.880
 sacrifices

00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:12.860
 this is why

00:35:12.860 --> 00:35:13.239
 we don't

00:35:13.239 --> 00:35:14.360
 bring goats

00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:15.480
 and bulls

00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:16.119
 to our

00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:16.440
 worship

00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:17.659
 this is why

00:35:17.659 --> 00:35:18.480
 none of us

00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:19.779
 who put his

00:35:19.779 --> 00:35:20.619
 faith in Jesus

00:35:20.619 --> 00:35:21.539
 has to perish

00:35:21.539 --> 00:35:23.559
 because Christ's

00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:24.139
 blood has been

00:35:24.139 --> 00:35:24.960
 shed on our

00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:25.579
 behalf

00:35:25.579 --> 00:35:27.319
 so this is the

00:35:27.319 --> 00:35:27.980
 amazing grace

00:35:27.980 --> 00:35:28.659
 of God here

00:35:28.659 --> 00:35:29.699
 that even though

00:35:29.699 --> 00:35:30.279
 the Israelites

00:35:30.279 --> 00:35:30.839
 just a few

00:35:30.839 --> 00:35:31.599
 chapters ago

00:35:31.599 --> 00:35:32.159
 they all

00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:32.919
 prostituted

00:35:32.919 --> 00:35:33.559
 themselves with

00:35:33.559 --> 00:35:33.960
 idols

00:35:33.960 --> 00:35:35.339
 and worshipped

00:35:35.339 --> 00:35:35.759
 the golden

00:35:35.759 --> 00:35:36.399
 calf in the

00:35:36.399 --> 00:35:37.000
 place of the

00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:37.619
 living God

00:35:37.619 --> 00:35:39.299
 God graciously

00:35:39.299 --> 00:35:40.099
 forgives them

00:35:40.099 --> 00:35:40.579
 and God

00:35:40.579 --> 00:35:41.239
 gives them a

00:35:41.239 --> 00:35:41.899
 process to be

00:35:41.899 --> 00:35:42.599
 able to enter

00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:43.099
 into their

00:35:43.099 --> 00:35:43.919
 into his

00:35:43.919 --> 00:35:44.899
 presence again

00:35:44.899 --> 00:35:45.919
 and because

00:35:45.919 --> 00:35:46.839
 that pointed

00:35:46.839 --> 00:35:47.439
 ultimately to

00:35:47.439 --> 00:35:48.039
 the grace that

00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:48.559
 we'll receive

00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:49.099
 and the mercy

00:35:49.099 --> 00:35:49.379
 that we'll

00:35:49.379 --> 00:35:50.399
 receive in

00:35:50.399 --> 00:35:51.019
 Jesus

00:35:51.019 --> 00:35:52.079
 in his

00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:52.659
 sacrifice

00:35:52.659 --> 00:35:55.399
 our only

00:35:55.399 --> 00:35:55.899
 chance

00:35:55.899 --> 00:35:57.079
 this is our

00:35:57.079 --> 00:35:57.559
 only chance

00:35:57.559 --> 00:35:58.039
 no matter how

00:35:58.039 --> 00:35:58.820
 hard we try

00:35:58.820 --> 00:35:59.239
 to live a

00:35:59.239 --> 00:35:59.719
 good life

00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:00.820
 even if we

00:36:00.820 --> 00:36:01.199
 were to put

00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:01.920
 together all

00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:02.259
 of our

00:36:02.259 --> 00:36:02.719
 righteousness

00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:03.380
 and all

00:36:03.380 --> 00:36:03.699
 of our

00:36:03.699 --> 00:36:04.199
 good deeds

00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:04.519
 in this

00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:04.800
 room

00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:05.559
 together

00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:06.679
 it would

00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:07.639
 not suffice

00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:09.320
 our only

00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:09.900
 chance

00:36:09.900 --> 00:36:11.179
 of being

00:36:11.179 --> 00:36:11.960
 in relationship

00:36:11.960 --> 00:36:12.500
 with God

00:36:12.500 --> 00:36:13.019
 living in

00:36:13.019 --> 00:36:13.619
 harmony with

00:36:13.619 --> 00:36:14.059
 him and

00:36:14.059 --> 00:36:14.480
 being in

00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:14.820
 fellowship

00:36:14.820 --> 00:36:15.239
 with him

00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:15.599
 again

00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:16.820
 is through

00:36:16.820 --> 00:36:17.420
 the atoning

00:36:17.420 --> 00:36:18.219
 sacrifice of

00:36:18.219 --> 00:36:18.880
 Jesus on

00:36:18.880 --> 00:36:19.400
 the cross

00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:21.699
 because Jesus

00:36:21.699 --> 00:36:22.579
 offered himself

00:36:22.579 --> 00:36:23.460
 as a sacrifice

00:36:23.460 --> 00:36:24.079
 for sin

00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:25.679
 because Jesus

00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:26.639
 defeated sin

00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:27.460
 and death

00:36:27.460 --> 00:36:28.659
 and was raised

00:36:28.659 --> 00:36:29.259
 from the dead

00:36:29.259 --> 00:36:30.759
 we can be

00:36:30.759 --> 00:36:31.159
 forgiven

00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:33.659
 we can enter

00:36:33.659 --> 00:36:34.579
 into the

00:36:34.579 --> 00:36:35.400
 holy of holies

00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:37.299
 live with God

00:36:37.299 --> 00:36:38.819
 walk with him

00:36:38.819 --> 00:36:40.460
 hear from him

00:36:40.460 --> 00:36:42.360
 and be filled

00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:43.699
 indwelled by

00:36:43.699 --> 00:36:44.880
 the very spirit

00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:45.279
 of God

00:36:45.279 --> 00:36:46.840
 the very presence

00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:47.299
 of God

00:36:47.299 --> 00:36:49.400
 and it's my

00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:50.079
 prayer for you

00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:50.759
 all this morning

00:36:50.759 --> 00:36:51.719
 that we will all

00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:52.599
 be filled more

00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:53.319
 and more with

00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:53.900
 that glory

00:36:53.900 --> 00:36:54.780
 and with that

00:36:54.780 --> 00:36:55.080
 spirit

00:36:55.080 --> 00:36:56.080
 so we can live

00:36:56.080 --> 00:36:57.100
 in conformity

00:36:57.100 --> 00:36:57.539
 to Christ

00:36:57.539 --> 00:36:58.100
 and his will

00:36:58.100 --> 00:36:58.980
 let me pray

00:36:58.980 --> 00:36:59.539

00:36:59.539 --> 00:36:59.840
 together

00:37:23.320 --> 00:37:26.820

00:37:35.180 --> 00:37:35.820
 on us

00:37:35.820 --> 00:37:38.940

00:38:04.940 --> 00:38:05.460
 for granted

00:38:05.460 --> 00:38:08.340
