00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.160
 Please turn with me in your Bibles to Exodus chapter 25.

00:00:04.940 --> 00:00:09.900
 We are entering the final section in the book of Exodus

00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:12.700
 where it talks about the building,

00:00:13.660 --> 00:00:15.439
 the instructions for the tabernacle

00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:17.260
 and the actual construction of the tabernacle.

00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:22.039
 And it takes extended time to describe

00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.019
 the specific dimensions of and the furnishings

00:00:25.019 --> 00:00:25.719
 within the tabernacle.

00:00:25.900 --> 00:00:28.400
 And then it spends more chapters later on

00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:31.279
 describing almost in identical words,

00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.100
 verbatim, that they did exactly what they were told to do.

00:00:34.579 --> 00:00:37.039
 And so we're gonna actually cover those two parts together

00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:39.820
 and I'm gonna explain why it's repeated in the text

00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:41.879
 as we go through this final section together.

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.939
 So we're gonna look at Exodus 25 verses one to nine

00:00:44.939 --> 00:00:48.439
 and then Exodus 35 verses four to 29.

00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:51.379
 And then lastly, we're gonna look at Exodus 38

00:00:51.379 --> 00:00:53.219
 verses 21 to 31.

00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:56.899
 So please have your Bibles open

00:00:56.899 --> 00:00:59.259
 and ready to kind of flip through and follow along.

00:01:00.060 --> 00:01:02.439
 And let me pray for the reading and preaching of God's word.

00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:11.459
 Heavenly Father, we want to lay aside our distractions.

00:01:13.299 --> 00:01:15.280
 This morning, some of us are distracted

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:18.019
 by things that happen this week.

00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:21.920
 Some of us are distracted by what's gonna happen later today

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:23.460
 or later this week.

00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.460
 And some of us are distracted with service here

00:01:27.460 --> 00:01:29.180
 during our worship.

00:01:30.620 --> 00:01:31.820
 But Lord, right now,

00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:33.599
 as we come to your word,

00:01:34.340 --> 00:01:35.719
 we want to sit at your feet

00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:37.700
 and we want to listen.

00:01:38.740 --> 00:01:40.599
 We want to hear from you.

00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:45.400
 So help us

00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:50.700
 to incline our ears and our hearts

00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:52.719
 as you speak to us from your word

00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.160
 that we might stand in awe of you

00:01:56.160 --> 00:01:56.940
 and your glory,

00:01:57.360 --> 00:01:59.740
 that we might rejoice

00:01:59.740 --> 00:02:02.200
 and delight in

00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:05.380
 the great grace you have shown us

00:02:05.380 --> 00:02:06.880
 in coming to dwell among us.

00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:11.900
 In Jesus' name we pray.

00:02:12.539 --> 00:02:12.859
 Amen.

00:02:14.799 --> 00:02:15.560
 If you are able,

00:02:15.659 --> 00:02:17.740
 please stand for the reading of God's word.

00:02:17.939 --> 00:02:19.799
 I'm gonna first read Exodus 25,

00:02:20.219 --> 00:02:21.439
 1 to 9.

00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:25.879
 The Lord said to Moses,

00:02:26.180 --> 00:02:27.620
 Speak to the people of Israel

00:02:27.620 --> 00:02:30.060
 that they take for me a contribution.

00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:33.620
 From every man whose heart moves him,

00:02:33.620 --> 00:02:36.079
 you shall receive the contribution for me.

00:02:36.880 --> 00:02:38.020
 And this is the contribution

00:02:38.020 --> 00:02:39.700
 that you shall receive from them,

00:02:39.820 --> 00:02:41.700
 gold, silver, and bronze,

00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:44.280

00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:45.580
 and fine twined linen,

00:02:46.060 --> 00:02:46.680

00:02:52.160 --> 00:02:53.480

00:02:53.480 --> 00:02:55.020
 and for the fragrant incense,

00:02:55.600 --> 00:02:56.320

00:02:56.320 --> 00:02:57.680
 and stones for setting

00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:58.960
 for the ephod

00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:00.540
 and for the breast piece.

00:03:01.220 --> 00:03:03.100
 And let them make me a sanctuary

00:03:03.100 --> 00:03:05.000
 that I may dwell in their midst.

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.680
 Exactly as I show you

00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:08.879
 concerning the pattern

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:09.960
 of the tabernacle

00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:11.520
 and of all its furniture,

00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:13.740
 so you shall make it.

00:03:15.020 --> 00:03:17.979
 Going ahead to Exodus 35, 4 to 29.

00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.439
 Moses said to all the congregation

00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:24.620
 of the people of Israel,

00:03:25.620 --> 00:03:26.539
 This is the thing

00:03:26.539 --> 00:03:27.860
 that the Lord has commended.

00:03:28.340 --> 00:03:29.439
 Take from among you

00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.099
 a contribution to the Lord.

00:03:31.099 --> 00:03:33.659
 Whoever is of a generous heart,

00:03:34.099 --> 00:03:36.159
 let him bring the Lord's contribution,

00:03:36.699 --> 00:03:38.199

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:39.259

 and for the breast piece.

00:03:55.020 --> 00:03:59.600
 Let every skillful craftsman among you

00:03:59.600 --> 00:04:00.640
 come and make all

00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:01.780
 that the Lord has commanded.

00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:03.180

 of the people of Israel

00:05:00.599 --> 00:05:02.300
 departed from the presence of Moses

00:05:02.300 --> 00:05:03.500
 and they came,

00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:06.500
 everyone whose heart stirred him

00:05:06.500 --> 00:05:09.120

 And every skillful woman spun with her hands

00:05:55.420 --> 00:05:57.500
 and they all brought what they had spun

00:05:57.500 --> 00:05:59.760

 to use their skill

00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:06.940

 the people of Israel,

00:06:22.180 --> 00:06:23.319
 whose heart moved them

00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:24.879
 to bring anything for the work

00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:25.859
 that the Lord had commanded

00:06:25.859 --> 00:06:27.039
 by Moses to be done,

00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.099
 brought it as a freewill offering

00:06:30.099 --> 00:06:31.199

00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:42.199
 These are the records of the tabernacle.

00:06:43.359 --> 00:06:45.399
 The tabernacle of the testimony

00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:47.099
 as they were recorded

00:06:47.099 --> 00:06:48.219
 at the commandment of Moses.

00:06:49.219 --> 00:06:50.899

00:07:02.039 --> 00:07:03.539
 And with him was Oholiab,

00:07:03.540 --> 00:07:06.200
 the son of Ahisamak of the tribe of Dan,

00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:08.160

 was 29 talents and 730 shekels

00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:23.540
 by the shekel of the sanctuary.

00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.200
 The silver from those of the congregation

00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:32.580
 by the shekel of the sanctuary.

00:07:32.579 --> 00:07:34.399
 A becca, a head,

00:07:34.659 --> 00:07:35.680
 that is half a shekel

00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:37.060
 by the shekel of the sanctuary

00:07:37.060 --> 00:07:39.459
 for everyone who was listed in the records

00:07:39.459 --> 00:07:41.419
 from 20 years old and upward

00:07:41.419 --> 00:07:44.300
 for 603,550 men.

00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:46.699
 The 100 talents of silver

00:07:46.699 --> 00:07:49.060
 were forecasting the basis of the sanctuary

00:07:49.060 --> 00:07:50.620
 and the basis of the veil.

00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:53.519
 A hundred basis for the 100 talents,

00:07:53.719 --> 00:07:54.639
 a talent, a base.

00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:57.860
 And of the 1,775 shekels,

00:07:57.879 --> 00:07:59.219
 he made hooks for the pillars

00:07:59.219 --> 00:08:00.560
 and overlaid their capitals

00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.379
 and made fillets for them.

00:08:03.139 --> 00:08:04.540
 The bronze that was offered

00:08:04.540 --> 00:08:05.500
 was 70 talents

00:08:05.500 --> 00:08:07.399
 and 2,400 shekels.

00:08:07.860 --> 00:08:09.199
 With it, he made the basis

00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:10.780
 for the entrance of the tent of meeting,

00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:12.139
 the bronze altar

00:08:12.139 --> 00:08:13.680
 and the bronze grating for it

00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:15.360
 and all the utensils of the altar,

00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:17.259
 the bases around the court

00:08:17.259 --> 00:08:19.279
 and the basis of the gate of the court,

00:08:19.660 --> 00:08:21.439
 all the pegs of the tabernacle

00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:24.279
 and all the pegs around the court.

00:08:24.980 --> 00:08:26.139
 This is God's holy

00:08:26.139 --> 00:08:27.340
 and authoritative word.

00:08:27.339 --> 00:08:28.000
 You may be seated.

00:08:29.919 --> 00:08:31.500
 You guys were very patient

00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:32.659
 through a longer reading.

00:08:34.139 --> 00:08:35.879
 We've been in our sermon series

00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:36.559
 in the book of Exodus

00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:38.519
 for exactly a year

00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:39.720
 as of last week.

00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:40.500
 And of course,

00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:41.899
 we took some breaks here and there

00:08:41.899 --> 00:08:42.819
 for a sermon series

00:08:42.819 --> 00:08:44.139
 through Advent and Christmas

00:08:44.139 --> 00:08:45.199
 and with guest preachers

00:08:45.199 --> 00:08:45.539
 and whatnot.

00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.120
 And when we first began the series,

00:08:48.220 --> 00:08:48.980
 I'd mentioned to you

00:08:48.980 --> 00:08:50.639
 that chapters 1 to 18

00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:52.720
 tell us about the salvation of the Lord,

00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:54.779
 the deliverance of the Israelites,

00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:55.819
 the Exodus.

00:08:56.740 --> 00:08:58.579
 And then chapters 19 to 24

00:08:58.579 --> 00:09:00.159
 tell us about the law of the Lord,

00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:01.199
 the 10 commandments

00:09:01.199 --> 00:09:02.620
 and the book of the covenant

00:09:02.620 --> 00:09:03.959
 that we've been going through

00:09:03.959 --> 00:09:06.039
 over the last two months or so,

00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:07.519
 a few months or so.

00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:08.259
 And then finally,

00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:09.860
 chapters 25 to 40,

00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:10.740
 which is where we're at,

00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.220
 tell us about the presence of the Lord,

00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:14.879
 where Israel follows

00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:16.240
 God's detailed instructions

00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:18.779
 for the construction of the tabernacle

00:09:18.779 --> 00:09:22.480
 so that God may dwell in their midst.

00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.300
 This last section of Exodus

00:09:25.300 --> 00:09:28.600
 is the part that preachers

00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.080
 are often tempted to skip

00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.200
 for, I think, reasons

00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:36.759
 that are probably apparent to you.

00:09:37.220 --> 00:09:39.200
 They worry that the repetitive section

00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.060
 with its seemingly tedious details

00:09:41.060 --> 00:09:42.120
 about the tabernacle

00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:43.480
 would bore their listeners.

00:09:44.340 --> 00:09:46.039
 But the final section of Exodus

00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:47.920
 is actually an indispensable

00:09:47.920 --> 00:09:49.440
 and fitting conclusion

00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.060
 to the book as a whole.

00:09:51.059 --> 00:09:52.759
 Throughout the narratives

00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:54.919
 of the Exodus in chapters 7 to 10,

00:09:55.339 --> 00:09:56.939
 the Lord repeatedly said,

00:09:57.419 --> 00:09:58.679
 let my people go.

00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:00.879
 And there was a purpose for that,

00:10:01.439 --> 00:10:04.139
 that they may serve me.

00:10:04.959 --> 00:10:06.379
 And that's why the Lord

00:10:06.379 --> 00:10:08.419
 freed the Israelites from slavery

00:10:08.419 --> 00:10:10.659
 so that they might serve him.

00:10:10.819 --> 00:10:12.259
 That's why some theologians

00:10:12.259 --> 00:10:13.299
 prefer to call this

00:10:13.299 --> 00:10:15.019
 not emancipation,

00:10:15.139 --> 00:10:16.339
 but repatriation.

00:10:16.459 --> 00:10:18.939
 They're taking one master,

00:10:18.939 --> 00:10:20.559
 a cruel, harsh master in Egypt,

00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:22.639
 to a gracious and benevolent master

00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:24.019
 in Yahweh, the Lord.

00:10:24.939 --> 00:10:25.959
 And so God,

00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:27.779
 the serving God

00:10:27.779 --> 00:10:28.679
 and worshiping God

00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:29.719
 is the direction

00:10:29.719 --> 00:10:31.159
 in which the all of Exodus

00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:32.359
 has been pointing.

00:10:32.619 --> 00:10:33.859
 And now that's where we are.

00:10:34.219 --> 00:10:35.059
 Finally, the people

00:10:35.059 --> 00:10:36.959
 are now getting to serve the Lord,

00:10:37.319 --> 00:10:38.759
 to worship the Lord.

00:10:38.839 --> 00:10:40.919
 This is really not an afterthought

00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:42.239
 or an appendix.

00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:43.519
 It's the climax

00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:45.539
 of the book of Exodus.

00:10:45.539 --> 00:10:48.399
 And the theological significance

00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:49.519
 of the tabernacle

00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:50.419
 is highlighted

00:10:50.419 --> 00:10:51.579
 by just how many chapters

00:10:51.579 --> 00:10:52.339
 in the book

00:10:52.339 --> 00:10:54.219
 are dedicated to this subject.

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:56.099
 By comparison,

00:10:56.459 --> 00:10:57.639
 it took only one chapter

00:10:57.639 --> 00:10:59.120
 to tell us about 80 years

00:10:59.120 --> 00:10:59.980
 of Moses' life.

00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.379
 It took only one chapter

00:11:03.379 --> 00:11:04.599
 to give us the Decalogue,

00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:05.759
 the Ten Commandments.

00:11:06.419 --> 00:11:07.500
 Even when you count

00:11:07.500 --> 00:11:08.419
 the subsequent book

00:11:08.419 --> 00:11:09.019
 of the covenant,

00:11:09.139 --> 00:11:10.399
 that's still only five chapters.

00:11:11.459 --> 00:11:13.339
 The entire Exodus narrative

00:11:13.340 --> 00:11:14.639
 from the time Moses and Aaron

00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:15.759
 first confront Pharaoh

00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:17.139
 to the crossing of the Red Sea

00:11:17.139 --> 00:11:18.899
 took nine chapters.

00:11:19.500 --> 00:11:20.759
 That climactic event

00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:22.120
 of divine deliverance

00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:23.580
 in the Old Testament

00:11:23.580 --> 00:11:25.780
 is told in nine chapters.

00:11:26.660 --> 00:11:27.560
 But this book

00:11:27.560 --> 00:11:29.440
 devotes 13 chapters

00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:30.639
 for the construction

00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:31.420
 of the tabernacle.

00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.180
 Chapters 25 to 31

00:11:35.180 --> 00:11:36.340
 is the blueprint,

00:11:36.700 --> 00:11:37.360
 seven chapters.

00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:39.060
 And then there's a break

00:11:39.060 --> 00:11:40.620
 in chapters 32 to 34

00:11:40.620 --> 00:11:42.080
 due to Israel's idolatry

00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:42.540
 and the worship

00:11:42.540 --> 00:11:43.400
 of the golden calf.

00:11:43.940 --> 00:11:45.320
 And then in the chapters

00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:46.340
 35 to 40

00:11:46.340 --> 00:11:47.700
 is the actual building

00:11:47.700 --> 00:11:48.620
 of the tabernacle

00:11:48.620 --> 00:11:50.680
 over six more chapters.

00:11:51.060 --> 00:11:52.580
 So 13 chapters in total.

00:11:53.500 --> 00:11:54.960
 And that makes us ask,

00:11:55.180 --> 00:11:56.379
 why so much emphasis

00:11:56.379 --> 00:11:59.560
 on all these hooks

00:11:59.560 --> 00:12:00.680
 and frames

00:12:00.680 --> 00:12:01.520
 and bars

00:12:01.520 --> 00:12:02.220
 and poles

00:12:02.220 --> 00:12:02.860
 and pegs

00:12:02.860 --> 00:12:03.360
 and cords

00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:03.940
 and linens

00:12:03.940 --> 00:12:04.879
 and curtains?

00:12:06.940 --> 00:12:08.160
 Well, because

00:12:08.160 --> 00:12:11.200
 it's not just a tent.

00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.080
 The word tabernacle

00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:16.840
 comes from the Latin word

00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:18.840
 that means tent.

00:12:20.180 --> 00:12:21.700
 So it is a tent.

00:12:22.520 --> 00:12:24.160
 But when the word

00:12:24.160 --> 00:12:25.140
 in the Hebrew Bible

00:12:25.140 --> 00:12:25.900
 is translated

00:12:25.900 --> 00:12:27.120
 as tabernacle,

00:12:27.540 --> 00:12:29.280
 it actually means

00:12:29.280 --> 00:12:30.660
 the dwelling place.

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:32.320
 That's what the word

00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:32.840
 is translating.

00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:34.620
 Every time it says tabernacle,

00:12:34.680 --> 00:12:35.759
 it's not just saying tent.

00:12:35.980 --> 00:12:37.200
 It's saying the dwelling.

00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:39.140
 The dwelling place

00:12:39.139 --> 00:12:39.960
 of God.

00:12:41.539 --> 00:12:43.139
 And so it's called

00:12:43.139 --> 00:12:44.080
 sometimes the tent

00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:44.740
 of meeting

00:12:44.740 --> 00:12:45.860
 because it's where

00:12:45.860 --> 00:12:46.399
 the Israelites

00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:47.679
 would convene with God,

00:12:47.819 --> 00:12:48.659
 meet with Him.

00:12:51.199 --> 00:12:52.699
 And so this is

00:12:52.699 --> 00:12:53.980
 a significant development

00:12:53.980 --> 00:12:55.240
 in the biblical narrative

00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:56.299
 because we know

00:12:56.299 --> 00:12:57.360
 from Genesis

00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:59.840
 that Adam and Eve

00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:01.179
 had enjoyed

00:13:01.179 --> 00:13:01.939
 communion with God

00:13:01.939 --> 00:13:02.439
 in the garden.

00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:03.159
 And it says

00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.220
 in Genesis chapter 3

00:13:05.220 --> 00:13:06.340
 that God sometimes

00:13:06.340 --> 00:13:07.600
 even walked in the garden.

00:13:08.060 --> 00:13:09.060
 They enjoyed fellowship

00:13:09.060 --> 00:13:09.980
 with Him.

00:13:10.280 --> 00:13:11.060
 But because they

00:13:11.060 --> 00:13:12.019
 sinned against God

00:13:12.019 --> 00:13:13.019
 and ate from the tree

00:13:13.019 --> 00:13:13.740
 of knowledge of good

00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:14.160
 and evil

00:13:14.160 --> 00:13:15.019
 that they were forbidden

00:13:15.019 --> 00:13:15.759
 to eat from,

00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:17.019
 they were cut off

00:13:17.019 --> 00:13:17.960
 from the tree of life

00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:18.720
 in the midst of the garden

00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:19.639
 and then expelled

00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:20.860
 from the garden.

00:13:22.820 --> 00:13:23.920
 Ever since then,

00:13:24.100 --> 00:13:25.379
 humanity has been

00:13:25.379 --> 00:13:26.480
 living in exile

00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:27.759
 from the presence of God.

00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:29.080
 And this question

00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:29.960
 has hung over

00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:31.160
 all of Scripture

00:13:31.160 --> 00:13:32.500
 up to this point.

00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:34.960
 can God's people

00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:36.539
 ever be reconciled to God?

00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:39.679
 Can we ever be restored

00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:40.879
 to His presence again?

00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:43.840
 Will God ever dwell

00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.500
 with us again?

00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:49.440
 And the tabernacle

00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:51.179
 is God's temporary

00:13:51.179 --> 00:13:53.240
 but gracious yes

00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:54.259
 to that question.

00:13:54.659 --> 00:13:55.879
 And it points to

00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:57.139
 God's ultimate answer

00:13:57.139 --> 00:13:57.840
 to that question

00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:58.799
 in Jesus Christ.

00:13:59.220 --> 00:14:00.740
 That God does intend

00:14:00.740 --> 00:14:03.019
 to dwell with His people again.

00:14:03.940 --> 00:14:04.560
 And remarkably,

00:14:04.779 --> 00:14:05.779
 we learn from this passage

00:14:05.779 --> 00:14:06.799
 that not only does He

00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:07.580
 intend to do that,

00:14:08.019 --> 00:14:09.759
 the Lord invites us

00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:10.820
 to give to

00:14:10.820 --> 00:14:11.919
 and work for

00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:12.659
 the construction

00:14:12.659 --> 00:14:14.860
 of His very dwelling place

00:14:14.860 --> 00:14:15.399
 among us.

00:14:16.220 --> 00:14:17.159
 And we're going to explore

00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:19.100
 that in three phases.

00:14:19.259 --> 00:14:19.840
 First, we're going to look

00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:20.639
 at the loftiness

00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:21.519
 of God's dwelling.

00:14:22.379 --> 00:14:22.779
 Secondly,

00:14:22.899 --> 00:14:23.560
 the lowliness

00:14:23.560 --> 00:14:24.919
 of God's dwelling.

00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:25.820
 And third,

00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:26.820
 the costliness

00:14:26.820 --> 00:14:28.779
 of the people's offering.

00:14:28.779 --> 00:14:30.639
 So let's first look

00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:32.399
 at the loftiness

00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:33.379
 of God's dwelling.

00:14:34.100 --> 00:14:34.980
 Exodus 25,

00:14:35.059 --> 00:14:35.860
 verses 8 to 9

00:14:35.860 --> 00:14:36.740
 clearly tell us

00:14:36.740 --> 00:14:37.539
 what the tabernacle

00:14:37.539 --> 00:14:38.879
 is meant to be.

00:14:39.419 --> 00:14:40.100
 The Lord says,

00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:41.740
 And let them make me

00:14:41.740 --> 00:14:42.759
 a sanctuary

00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:44.879
 that I might dwell

00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:45.679
 in their midst,

00:14:46.419 --> 00:14:47.860
 exactly as I show you

00:14:47.860 --> 00:14:48.720
 concerning the pattern

00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:49.699
 of the tabernacle

00:14:49.699 --> 00:14:50.959
 and of all its furniture,

00:14:51.139 --> 00:14:53.039
 so you shall make it.

00:14:53.659 --> 00:14:54.399
 This tent

00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:55.339
 that they are to build

00:14:55.339 --> 00:14:56.059
 for the Lord

00:14:56.059 --> 00:14:57.379
 is a sanctuary,

00:14:58.119 --> 00:14:59.099
 which is derived

00:14:59.099 --> 00:14:59.919
 from the Latin word

00:14:59.919 --> 00:15:00.919
 that means holy.

00:15:01.259 --> 00:15:02.759
 It's a consecrated place.

00:15:03.579 --> 00:15:04.099
 That's why

00:15:04.099 --> 00:15:05.179
 the inner tent

00:15:05.179 --> 00:15:06.339
 of the tabernacle

00:15:06.339 --> 00:15:06.879
 is called

00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:07.879
 the holy place.

00:15:08.079 --> 00:15:08.500
 It's divided

00:15:08.500 --> 00:15:09.059
 into two rooms,

00:15:09.119 --> 00:15:09.719
 the holy place

00:15:09.719 --> 00:15:11.199
 and the most holy place.

00:15:12.179 --> 00:15:13.179
 In the Old Testament,

00:15:13.379 --> 00:15:15.719
 sometimes a guilty fugitive

00:15:15.719 --> 00:15:17.559
 ran to the sanctuary

00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:18.399
 or the temple

00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:20.119
 in order to kind of

00:15:20.119 --> 00:15:21.519
 plead guilty

00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:23.259
 and seek clemency.

00:15:23.719 --> 00:15:24.619
 It was their way

00:15:24.619 --> 00:15:25.639
 of seeking asylum.

00:15:26.059 --> 00:15:26.679
 And it's because

00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:27.639
 of that association

00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:28.939
 with the sanctuary

00:15:28.939 --> 00:15:30.099
 that the word sanctuary

00:15:30.099 --> 00:15:31.219
 is nowadays often used

00:15:31.219 --> 00:15:32.419
 to mean a refuge

00:15:32.419 --> 00:15:33.579
 or a shelter.

00:15:34.179 --> 00:15:35.239
 But its original meaning

00:15:35.239 --> 00:15:36.979
 is simply a holy place,

00:15:37.059 --> 00:15:38.399
 a place that is set apart.

00:15:38.939 --> 00:15:40.819
 It's not an ordinary place,

00:15:40.979 --> 00:15:42.319
 a place that is uncommon,

00:15:42.959 --> 00:15:43.959
 a special place

00:15:43.959 --> 00:15:45.079
 that's unlike any other.

00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:47.159
 And the tabernacle

00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:48.559
 is one such place.

00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:49.299
 It's set apart

00:15:49.299 --> 00:15:50.119
 by its design

00:15:50.119 --> 00:15:51.619
 and by its building material.

00:15:52.259 --> 00:15:53.099
 So before starting

00:15:53.099 --> 00:15:53.619
 the construction,

00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:53.959
 of course,

00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:54.519
 you need to gather

00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:55.959
 all the required materials.

00:15:56.059 --> 00:15:56.739
 And that's what God

00:15:56.739 --> 00:15:58.439
 instructs Moses to do.

00:15:59.079 --> 00:16:00.159
 So in chapter 25,

00:16:00.219 --> 00:16:01.059
 verses 3 to 7,

00:16:01.259 --> 00:16:02.859
 we see this list.

00:16:03.500 --> 00:16:03.719
 It says,

00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:04.679
 this is the contribution

00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:05.519
 that you shall receive

00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:06.019
 from them,

00:16:06.179 --> 00:16:06.579
 gold,

00:16:07.219 --> 00:16:07.639
 silver,

00:16:08.259 --> 00:16:09.119
 and bronze.

00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:11.759
 So again,

00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:13.019
 those are precious metals

00:16:13.019 --> 00:16:14.079
 that have been prized

00:16:14.079 --> 00:16:15.399
 through centuries,

00:16:15.599 --> 00:16:16.339
 through millennia,

00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:18.059
 because of their luster

00:16:18.059 --> 00:16:19.219
 and because of their rarity.

00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:20.840
 And even now,

00:16:21.060 --> 00:16:21.920
 even nowadays,

00:16:22.040 --> 00:16:23.320
 during financial downturns,

00:16:23.379 --> 00:16:24.180
 investors often

00:16:24.180 --> 00:16:26.040
 put their money in gold

00:16:26.040 --> 00:16:28.600
 because gold is more likely

00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:29.920
 to retain its value

00:16:29.920 --> 00:16:31.480
 than dollar.

00:16:32.580 --> 00:16:33.779
 And so the gold

00:16:33.779 --> 00:16:34.379
 will be used

00:16:34.379 --> 00:16:35.259
 for the furnishings

00:16:35.259 --> 00:16:36.700
 within the tabernacle proper,

00:16:37.019 --> 00:16:37.740
 the holy place

00:16:37.740 --> 00:16:38.720
 and the most holy place.

00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:39.860
 The ark,

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:40.820
 the mercy seat,

00:16:41.060 --> 00:16:41.920
 the cover for the ark,

00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:42.660
 the cherubim

00:16:42.660 --> 00:16:43.420
 attached to that,

00:16:43.620 --> 00:16:44.519
 as well as the altar

00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:45.220
 of incense

00:16:45.220 --> 00:16:45.800
 and the pillars

00:16:45.800 --> 00:16:46.879
 inside the tabernacle

00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:47.980
 will be all overlaid

00:16:47.980 --> 00:16:48.439
 with gold.

00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:49.879
 And then,

00:16:50.059 --> 00:16:52.720
 according to Exodus 38

00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:53.799
 to 27, 31,

00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:55.399
 which we read earlier,

00:16:55.899 --> 00:16:56.860
 silver will be used

00:16:56.860 --> 00:16:57.500
 for the bases

00:16:57.500 --> 00:16:58.419
 of the pillars

00:16:58.419 --> 00:16:59.200
 in the tabernacle

00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:00.279
 and for the capitals

00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:01.379
 and the fillets

00:17:01.379 --> 00:17:01.939
 and hooks

00:17:01.939 --> 00:17:02.539
 of the pillars

00:17:02.539 --> 00:17:03.179
 in the courtyard.

00:17:04.539 --> 00:17:05.720
 And then bronze

00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:06.519
 will be used

00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:07.279
 for the bases

00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:08.920
 and for the bronze altar

00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:09.859
 and the bronze basin

00:17:09.859 --> 00:17:10.900
 in the courtyard

00:17:10.900 --> 00:17:12.480
 of the tabernacle.

00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:14.200
 Why is this relevant?

00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:15.779
 There are levels,

00:17:15.940 --> 00:17:16.759
 there's a gradation

00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:19.180
 within the tabernacle structure

00:17:19.180 --> 00:17:21.279
 which sets God apart

00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:22.180
 as holy.

00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:23.700
 It's almost like

00:17:23.700 --> 00:17:24.480
 the tabernacle

00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:25.619
 has three stories.

00:17:26.299 --> 00:17:27.500
 The land outside

00:17:27.500 --> 00:17:28.019
 the courtyard

00:17:28.019 --> 00:17:29.119
 is just dirt,

00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:30.579
 but the courtyard

00:17:30.579 --> 00:17:31.359
 is made up

00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:32.759
 of bronze materials.

00:17:33.579 --> 00:17:35.660
 And the top tip

00:17:35.660 --> 00:17:36.420
 of the courtyard

00:17:36.420 --> 00:17:37.339
 is made of silver.

00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:38.579
 The rest of it

00:17:38.579 --> 00:17:38.859
 underneath

00:17:38.859 --> 00:17:39.740
 is made of bronze.

00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:41.539
 So if you go further in,

00:17:41.619 --> 00:17:42.599
 then the bottom

00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:44.500
 of the pillars

00:17:44.500 --> 00:17:45.039
 surrounding

00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:46.359
 the actual

00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:46.980
 tabernacle

00:17:46.980 --> 00:17:47.480
 of the tent

00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:49.119
 is made of silver.

00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:50.399
 And then the rest of it

00:17:50.399 --> 00:17:50.960
 above it

00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:51.799
 is gold.

00:17:52.259 --> 00:17:53.039
 And then once you step

00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:53.920
 into the tabernacle,

00:17:54.059 --> 00:17:54.879
 everything you see

00:17:54.879 --> 00:17:55.779
 is gold.

00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:56.680
 So there's a gradation.

00:17:56.859 --> 00:17:58.339
 You should get closer

00:17:58.339 --> 00:18:00.779
 to the most holy place,

00:18:00.879 --> 00:18:01.819
 to the holy place,

00:18:02.339 --> 00:18:03.819
 the more royal

00:18:03.819 --> 00:18:04.740
 and exquisite

00:18:04.740 --> 00:18:05.899
 and beautiful it gets.

00:18:05.980 --> 00:18:06.859
 And the further away

00:18:06.859 --> 00:18:07.339
 you get

00:18:07.339 --> 00:18:08.659
 from that place,

00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:09.460
 the more common

00:18:09.460 --> 00:18:10.220
 and ordinary

00:18:10.220 --> 00:18:11.440
 it gets.

00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:12.580
 the idea

00:18:12.580 --> 00:18:13.600
 is reinforcing

00:18:13.600 --> 00:18:14.539
 the important fact

00:18:14.539 --> 00:18:15.120
 that God

00:18:15.120 --> 00:18:16.400
 is holy,

00:18:16.600 --> 00:18:17.120
 set apart.

00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:19.160
 He is the sovereign

00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:20.799
 ruler of the universe

00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:21.500
 before whom

00:18:21.500 --> 00:18:22.180
 we should stand

00:18:22.180 --> 00:18:22.660
 in awe

00:18:22.660 --> 00:18:24.180
 and pay homage.

00:18:25.259 --> 00:18:26.120
 Let's return

00:18:26.120 --> 00:18:27.480
 to 2537

00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:28.140
 and look at

00:18:28.140 --> 00:18:28.720
 the rest of the

00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:29.279
 building materials.

00:18:29.360 --> 00:18:30.220
 In addition to gold,

00:18:30.420 --> 00:18:30.700
 silver,

00:18:30.840 --> 00:18:31.299
 and bronze,

00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:32.259
 which was given

00:18:32.259 --> 00:18:33.400
 in order of descending

00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:35.120
 significance or value,

00:18:35.660 --> 00:18:36.460
 we also get

00:18:36.460 --> 00:18:37.360
 blue and purple

00:18:37.360 --> 00:18:38.580
 and scarlet yarns

00:18:38.580 --> 00:18:39.700
 and fine twine linen,

00:18:39.820 --> 00:18:40.380
 which is again

00:18:40.380 --> 00:18:41.360
 listed in descending

00:18:41.360 --> 00:18:42.860
 order of value.

00:18:43.500 --> 00:18:44.620
 The colored yarns

00:18:44.620 --> 00:18:45.560
 were very expensive

00:18:45.560 --> 00:18:46.920
 and rare in those days

00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:47.760
 because this is

00:18:47.760 --> 00:18:48.680
 before the invention

00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:49.840
 of synthetic dyes.

00:18:50.340 --> 00:18:51.520
 So dyes had to be

00:18:51.520 --> 00:18:52.520
 extracted from

00:18:52.520 --> 00:18:53.380
 natural sources

00:18:53.380 --> 00:18:54.700
 and in this

00:18:54.700 --> 00:18:57.060
 region of the world

00:18:57.060 --> 00:18:57.760
 they would have to

00:18:57.760 --> 00:18:59.240
 rely on sea mollusks

00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:00.920
 like clams

00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:02.800
 and they would have

00:19:02.800 --> 00:19:04.180
 to get plant barks

00:19:04.180 --> 00:19:04.760
 and leaves

00:19:04.760 --> 00:19:05.500
 and berries

00:19:05.500 --> 00:19:07.100
 or precious minerals

00:19:07.100 --> 00:19:08.540
 to get the color

00:19:08.540 --> 00:19:09.140
 that they want.

00:19:09.140 --> 00:19:10.900
 So think about

00:19:10.900 --> 00:19:11.600
 the long

00:19:11.600 --> 00:19:12.980
 and painstaking

00:19:12.980 --> 00:19:13.940
 labor that would

00:19:13.940 --> 00:19:14.540
 be required

00:19:14.540 --> 00:19:16.200
 to extract

00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:17.420
 even modest

00:19:17.420 --> 00:19:18.540
 amounts of dye,

00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:20.100
 let alone

00:19:20.100 --> 00:19:21.280
 enough to dye,

00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:22.080
 enough to color

00:19:22.080 --> 00:19:23.600
 an entire skin

00:19:23.600 --> 00:19:25.540
 of yarn.

00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:26.940
 Skin of yarn.

00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:28.680
 So the next items

00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:29.560
 listed are

00:19:29.560 --> 00:19:30.360
 goat's hair,

00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:31.500
 tanned ram skins

00:19:31.500 --> 00:19:32.100
 and goat skins,

00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:32.960
 which I'll talk more

00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:33.520
 about when we get

00:19:33.520 --> 00:19:33.860
 to them.

00:19:34.860 --> 00:19:35.800
 And these are

00:19:35.800 --> 00:19:36.980
 the next three layers

00:19:36.980 --> 00:19:37.599
 of coverings

00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:38.660
 for the tabernacle.

00:19:38.779 --> 00:19:40.480
 So first the colored

00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:41.819
 yarns and the

00:19:41.819 --> 00:19:42.700
 fine twine linen

00:19:42.700 --> 00:19:43.500
 and then goat's hair,

00:19:43.660 --> 00:19:44.299
 tanned ram skin

00:19:44.299 --> 00:19:45.420
 and then what this

00:19:45.420 --> 00:19:46.180
 translation says

00:19:46.180 --> 00:19:46.720
 goat skins.

00:19:47.940 --> 00:19:49.000
 I won't go into

00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:50.000
 these details for now

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:50.519
 but it's sufficient

00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:51.519
 to note that this

00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:52.440
 tabernacle doesn't

00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:53.120
 have a single

00:19:53.120 --> 00:19:54.700
 flimsy rain fly

00:19:54.700 --> 00:19:55.839
 like my tent.

00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:57.559
 It has three

00:19:57.559 --> 00:19:58.880
 hefty, durable

00:19:58.880 --> 00:19:59.960
 covers over the

00:19:59.960 --> 00:20:01.019
 blue and purple

00:20:01.019 --> 00:20:01.940
 and scarlet yarn.

00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:03.480
 So four total layers

00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:03.880
 of covering.

00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:05.980
 The next few items

00:20:05.980 --> 00:20:07.080
 are acacia wood

00:20:07.080 --> 00:20:08.120
 which is known

00:20:08.120 --> 00:20:09.020
 for its hardiness

00:20:09.020 --> 00:20:09.780
 and durability.

00:20:10.260 --> 00:20:11.300
 It's even stronger

00:20:11.300 --> 00:20:11.860
 than oak.

00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:13.520
 And then the oil

00:20:13.520 --> 00:20:14.080
 for the lamb,

00:20:14.220 --> 00:20:14.960
 spices for the

00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:15.480
 anointing oil

00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:15.960
 and for the

00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:17.020
 fragrant incense.

00:20:17.700 --> 00:20:18.260
 The spices

00:20:18.260 --> 00:20:19.180
 are specifically

00:20:19.180 --> 00:20:20.380
 described in Exodus

00:20:20.380 --> 00:20:21.480
 30 as the

00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:22.600
 finest spices

00:20:22.600 --> 00:20:23.800
 including myrrh,

00:20:23.940 --> 00:20:24.480
 sweet smelling

00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:24.960
 cinnamon,

00:20:25.500 --> 00:20:26.380
 aromatic cane,

00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:27.400
 acacia and

00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:28.200
 olive oil.

00:20:28.840 --> 00:20:29.400
 These are

00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:30.220
 ingredients that

00:20:30.220 --> 00:20:30.840
 are still used

00:20:30.840 --> 00:20:32.000
 nowadays in perfumes

00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:32.860
 and so it would

00:20:32.859 --> 00:20:34.099
 fill the tabernacle

00:20:34.099 --> 00:20:34.959
 with sweet

00:20:34.959 --> 00:20:36.119
 aromas that

00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:36.719
 are perhaps

00:20:36.719 --> 00:20:37.679
 even therapeutic

00:20:37.679 --> 00:20:38.339
 as you would

00:20:38.339 --> 00:20:38.859
 smell it

00:20:38.859 --> 00:20:40.959
 that would set

00:20:40.959 --> 00:20:41.639
 the tabernacle

00:20:41.639 --> 00:20:42.779
 apart from the

00:20:42.779 --> 00:20:43.679
 common orders

00:20:43.679 --> 00:20:44.459
 of life

00:20:44.459 --> 00:20:45.740
 that you're used

00:20:45.740 --> 00:20:46.479
 to smelling

00:20:46.479 --> 00:20:47.299
 with your animals

00:20:47.299 --> 00:20:47.879
 and with your

00:20:47.879 --> 00:20:49.000
 sweaty self.

00:20:49.639 --> 00:20:50.679
 So it's being

00:20:50.679 --> 00:20:51.379
 set apart

00:20:51.379 --> 00:20:52.579
 not only visually

00:20:52.579 --> 00:20:54.240
 but also in

00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:55.519
 your olfactory sense

00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:56.699
 it's being set apart

00:20:56.699 --> 00:20:57.740
 as a holy place

00:20:57.740 --> 00:20:58.379
 like no other.

00:20:59.679 --> 00:21:00.099
 And finally

00:21:00.099 --> 00:21:00.879
 verse 7 adds

00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:01.680
 onyx stones

00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:02.160
 and stones

00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:02.700
 for setting

00:21:02.700 --> 00:21:03.440
 for the ephod

00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:04.080
 and for the

00:21:04.080 --> 00:21:04.720
 breast piece.

00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:06.560
 I won't get

00:21:06.560 --> 00:21:07.440
 into this now

00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:08.020
 but these are

00:21:08.020 --> 00:21:08.940
 precious stones

00:21:08.940 --> 00:21:10.620
 of great value

00:21:10.620 --> 00:21:11.700
 that will be used

00:21:11.700 --> 00:21:12.920
 as attached

00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:14.620
 to the garb

00:21:14.620 --> 00:21:15.320
 of the priests

00:21:15.320 --> 00:21:16.560
 and of the high priest.

00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:17.720
 And so

00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:18.880
 all that to say

00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:19.580
 the rare

00:21:19.580 --> 00:21:20.940
 and costly materials

00:21:20.940 --> 00:21:21.600
 used for the

00:21:21.600 --> 00:21:21.960
 construction

00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:23.240
 of the tabernacle

00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:24.540
 show that it was

00:21:24.540 --> 00:21:25.060
 designed

00:21:25.060 --> 00:21:26.260
 to be beautiful,

00:21:26.620 --> 00:21:27.360
 designed to be

00:21:27.360 --> 00:21:27.960
 glorious,

00:21:28.420 --> 00:21:29.040
 so that it might

00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:30.220
 be a sanctuary,

00:21:30.420 --> 00:21:31.139
 a holy place

00:21:31.139 --> 00:21:31.759
 for Yahweh

00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:32.599
 so that the

00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:33.579
 Lord is not

00:21:33.579 --> 00:21:34.500
 cheapened

00:21:34.500 --> 00:21:35.879
 before the eyes

00:21:35.879 --> 00:21:37.559
 of his people.

00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:39.599
 Everything about

00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:40.240
 this place

00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:41.440
 screams royalty,

00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:42.599
 it screams

00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:43.480
 sovereignty,

00:21:44.059 --> 00:21:44.539
 majesty,

00:21:45.139 --> 00:21:46.519
 and according

00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:47.339
 to Numbers 2

00:21:47.339 --> 00:21:47.960
 the entire

00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:48.799
 Israelite camp

00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:49.539
 was arranged

00:21:49.539 --> 00:21:50.299
 around the

00:21:50.299 --> 00:21:50.779
 tabernacle,

00:21:50.859 --> 00:21:51.379
 the tabernacle

00:21:51.379 --> 00:21:52.000
 at the center,

00:21:52.420 --> 00:21:53.000
 three tribes

00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:53.720
 to the north,

00:21:53.980 --> 00:21:54.639
 three to the south,

00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:55.480
 three to the east,

00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:56.220
 three to the west.

00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:57.379
 The king

00:21:57.380 --> 00:21:58.060
 residing

00:21:58.060 --> 00:21:58.960
 at the center

00:21:58.960 --> 00:21:59.780
 of his people,

00:22:00.180 --> 00:22:02.080
 of his loyal subjects,

00:22:02.860 --> 00:22:03.700
 reigning over them.

00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:05.120
 And this is a lesson

00:22:05.120 --> 00:22:06.100
 for the Israelites.

00:22:06.800 --> 00:22:07.460
 God is not

00:22:07.460 --> 00:22:08.120
 to be regarded

00:22:08.120 --> 00:22:08.500
 lightly.

00:22:09.460 --> 00:22:10.520
 He is among you,

00:22:11.060 --> 00:22:12.360
 but he is not

00:22:12.360 --> 00:22:13.460
 like you.

00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:15.760
 He is holy.

00:22:16.820 --> 00:22:18.020
 He is set apart.

00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:20.280
 Listen to him.

00:22:21.140 --> 00:22:21.660
 Obey him.

00:22:23.900 --> 00:22:25.260
 The specific instructions

00:22:25.259 --> 00:22:26.059
 for the tabernacle

00:22:26.059 --> 00:22:27.299
 also tell us

00:22:27.299 --> 00:22:27.839
 the importance

00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:28.879
 of strict adherence

00:22:28.879 --> 00:22:29.920
 to God's commands.

00:22:30.420 --> 00:22:31.000
 Notice what God

00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:31.599
 says to Moses

00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:32.519
 in chapter 25,

00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:33.180
 verse 9.

00:22:34.779 --> 00:22:36.539
 Exactly as I show you

00:22:36.539 --> 00:22:37.640
 concerning the pattern

00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:38.460
 of the tabernacle

00:22:38.460 --> 00:22:39.759
 and of all its furniture,

00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:41.519
 so you shall make it.

00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:44.119
 The tabernacle

00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:44.920
 is supposed to be built

00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:46.740
 exactly the way

00:22:46.740 --> 00:22:48.720
 the instruction says.

00:22:49.259 --> 00:22:50.099
 The same thing

00:22:50.099 --> 00:22:50.500
 is repeated

00:22:50.500 --> 00:22:51.319
 in Exodus 25,

00:22:51.500 --> 00:22:51.879
 40,

00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:53.519
 and quoting that verse,

00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:55.299
 Hebrews 8, 5 says this,

00:22:55.639 --> 00:22:56.759
 the priests serve

00:22:56.759 --> 00:22:57.619
 a copy

00:22:57.619 --> 00:22:58.579
 and shadow

00:22:58.579 --> 00:22:59.980
 of the heavenly things.

00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:01.339
 For when Moses

00:23:01.339 --> 00:23:02.559
 was about to erect

00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:03.160
 the tent,

00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:04.160
 he was instructed

00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:05.119
 by God saying,

00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:06.220
 see that you make

00:23:06.220 --> 00:23:07.160
 everything according

00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:08.259
 to the pattern

00:23:08.259 --> 00:23:09.359
 that was shown you

00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:10.519
 on the mountain.

00:23:11.460 --> 00:23:12.740
 The tabernacle,

00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:14.599
 God's earthly dwelling place,

00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:15.720
 is a copy.

00:23:16.619 --> 00:23:17.519
 It's a shadow

00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:19.079
 of the reality,

00:23:19.180 --> 00:23:19.920
 which is God's

00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:20.639
 heavenly dwelling.

00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:21.900
 For example,

00:23:22.059 --> 00:23:23.299
 Psalm 11, 4 speaks

00:23:23.299 --> 00:23:23.940
 of how the Lord

00:23:23.940 --> 00:23:25.159
 is in his holy temple

00:23:25.159 --> 00:23:26.359
 and the Lord's throne

00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:27.639
 is in heaven.

00:23:28.659 --> 00:23:30.119
 And in John's vision

00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:30.960
 of God's throne

00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:32.399
 in Revelation 11, 19,

00:23:32.460 --> 00:23:32.740
 it says,

00:23:32.919 --> 00:23:33.700
 then God's temple

00:23:33.700 --> 00:23:35.000
 in heaven was opened

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:36.159
 and the ark

00:23:36.159 --> 00:23:37.119
 of his covenant

00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:37.960
 was seen

00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:38.799
 within his temple.

00:23:39.859 --> 00:23:41.940
 There is in heaven itself

00:23:41.940 --> 00:23:43.379
 a temple for the Lord

00:23:43.379 --> 00:23:44.819
 and it's complete

00:23:44.819 --> 00:23:45.960
 with its own ark

00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:46.599
 of the covenant

00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:48.700
 of which the earthly temple

00:23:48.700 --> 00:23:49.399
 and its ark

00:23:49.399 --> 00:23:50.819
 is merely a copy,

00:23:51.339 --> 00:23:52.019
 a shadow.

00:23:52.019 --> 00:23:53.700
 So Moses

00:23:53.700 --> 00:23:54.900
 on the top

00:23:54.900 --> 00:23:55.460
 of Mount Sinai

00:23:55.460 --> 00:23:56.400
 got to see

00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:57.740
 this,

00:23:58.200 --> 00:23:59.759
 glimpse this temple

00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:00.500
 of God,

00:24:00.740 --> 00:24:01.639
 this heavenly temple.

00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:03.680
 He saw the archetype

00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:04.839
 of God's dwelling place

00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:06.400
 and now he's commissioned

00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:07.019
 to build

00:24:07.019 --> 00:24:08.740
 an earthly copy

00:24:08.740 --> 00:24:10.180
 according to that pattern.

00:24:11.139 --> 00:24:12.039
 So you can think

00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:12.700
 of the tabernacle

00:24:12.700 --> 00:24:13.240
 in a way

00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:14.119
 like almost

00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:14.799
 like a miniature,

00:24:15.660 --> 00:24:16.559
 a scale model,

00:24:17.500 --> 00:24:18.779
 representative replica

00:24:18.779 --> 00:24:20.299
 of the heavenly reality.

00:24:20.299 --> 00:24:21.919
 The temple

00:24:21.919 --> 00:24:23.059
 that Solomon built

00:24:23.059 --> 00:24:23.680
 for God

00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:24.440
 in Jerusalem

00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:25.579
 is no longer standing,

00:24:25.740 --> 00:24:26.500
 it's been destroyed

00:24:26.500 --> 00:24:28.220
 but in Jerusalem

00:24:28.220 --> 00:24:29.039
 they do have

00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:30.440
 a scale model

00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:32.240
 of the temple

00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:33.799
 which is helpful

00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:35.379
 for letting people

00:24:35.379 --> 00:24:36.419
 see what it would

00:24:36.419 --> 00:24:37.079
 have looked like.

00:24:37.339 --> 00:24:37.680
 I mean,

00:24:37.700 --> 00:24:38.319
 it's a lot smaller

00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:39.659
 but what would it have looked like

00:24:39.659 --> 00:24:40.500
 in this day and time

00:24:40.500 --> 00:24:41.639
 and also to show them

00:24:41.639 --> 00:24:42.659
 that this is a real thing,

00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:43.740
 it really used to exist,

00:24:43.859 --> 00:24:44.899
 this is a copy

00:24:44.899 --> 00:24:46.460
 of the original

00:24:46.460 --> 00:24:48.220
 and that's the purpose

00:24:48.220 --> 00:24:49.039
 of the tabernacle.

00:24:49.220 --> 00:24:50.380
 It tells us that

00:24:50.380 --> 00:24:51.600
 there's a real thing

00:24:51.600 --> 00:24:52.079
 out there.

00:24:52.819 --> 00:24:54.120
 This is just a copy.

00:24:54.539 --> 00:24:55.240
 It's a shadow

00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:56.160
 of reality

00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:56.860
 and this is why

00:24:56.860 --> 00:24:57.740
 it's so important

00:24:57.740 --> 00:24:59.039
 for that the Israelites

00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:00.380
 follow the blueprint

00:25:00.380 --> 00:25:01.500
 to a T.

00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:03.700
 That's why there are

00:25:03.700 --> 00:25:04.299
 seven chapters

00:25:04.299 --> 00:25:05.700
 of painstaking instructions

00:25:05.700 --> 00:25:06.720
 and then another

00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:07.360
 six chapters

00:25:07.360 --> 00:25:07.860
 to tell us

00:25:07.860 --> 00:25:09.000
 that they did exactly

00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:10.400
 according to the pattern

00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:11.860
 shown to Moses

00:25:11.860 --> 00:25:12.519
 on the mountain.

00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:14.660
 There is no room

00:25:14.660 --> 00:25:16.759
 for creative license here

00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:19.700
 because God's people

00:25:19.700 --> 00:25:20.359
 must know

00:25:20.359 --> 00:25:21.519
 that God's dwelling place

00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:22.099
 is real

00:25:22.099 --> 00:25:23.500
 and that it is not

00:25:23.500 --> 00:25:24.099
 a figment

00:25:24.099 --> 00:25:25.379
 of Moses' imagination.

00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:27.200
 The tabernacle

00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:28.740
 is a replication

00:25:28.740 --> 00:25:30.700
 not an innovation

00:25:30.700 --> 00:25:33.160
 and that's why

00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:33.859
 it is beautiful

00:25:33.859 --> 00:25:34.480
 and glorious.

00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:35.680
 It resembles God's

00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:37.099
 heavenly temple,

00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:38.200
 dwelling place.

00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:40.319
 So in this way

00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:41.180
 the loftiness

00:25:41.180 --> 00:25:42.220
 of God's dwelling

00:25:42.220 --> 00:25:43.519
 place communicates

00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:44.200
 His glory

00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:45.940
 but the relative

00:25:45.940 --> 00:25:46.480
 lowliness

00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:47.519
 of God's dwelling

00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:48.460
 communicates

00:25:48.460 --> 00:25:49.160
 His grace.

00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:51.259
 The tabernacle

00:25:51.259 --> 00:25:53.299
 was a splendid tent

00:25:53.299 --> 00:25:55.660
 but it was still

00:25:55.660 --> 00:25:56.180
 a tent.

00:25:57.539 --> 00:25:58.460
 It was merely

00:25:58.460 --> 00:25:59.120
 a copy

00:25:59.120 --> 00:26:00.559
 of the heavenly reality.

00:26:01.380 --> 00:26:02.100
 How can

00:26:02.100 --> 00:26:03.259
 the Lord God

00:26:03.259 --> 00:26:03.980
 Yahweh

00:26:03.980 --> 00:26:05.900
 stoop to such a level

00:26:05.900 --> 00:26:07.660
 to inhabit

00:26:07.660 --> 00:26:08.900
 that?

00:26:08.900 --> 00:26:12.340
 the Lord

00:26:12.340 --> 00:26:12.880
 commissioned

00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:13.380
 the building

00:26:13.380 --> 00:26:14.200
 of the tabernacle

00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:15.880
 in Exodus 25

00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:16.360
 8 saying

00:26:16.360 --> 00:26:17.240
 that I may

00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:17.940
 dwell

00:26:17.940 --> 00:26:19.420
 in their midst.

00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:22.080
 That's an amazing

00:26:22.080 --> 00:26:22.519
 statement.

00:26:22.700 --> 00:26:23.259
 God is not

00:26:23.259 --> 00:26:24.300
 merely visiting

00:26:24.300 --> 00:26:25.800
 or stopping

00:26:25.800 --> 00:26:26.380
 by

00:26:26.380 --> 00:26:27.160
 the Israelites.

00:26:27.560 --> 00:26:28.800
 He is moving

00:26:28.800 --> 00:26:29.960
 into the neighborhood.

00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:33.160
 As I mentioned

00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:33.460
 earlier

00:26:33.460 --> 00:26:33.840
 the word

00:26:33.840 --> 00:26:34.420
 tabernacle

00:26:34.420 --> 00:26:35.100
 is a translation

00:26:35.100 --> 00:26:35.579
 of the word

00:26:35.579 --> 00:26:35.920
 that literally

00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:36.819
 means the dwelling.

00:26:37.059 --> 00:26:37.600
 It's where

00:26:37.600 --> 00:26:38.240
 God will

00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:39.240
 take residence.

00:26:39.940 --> 00:26:40.420
 But think

00:26:40.420 --> 00:26:40.799
 about that

00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:41.319
 for a moment.

00:26:42.940 --> 00:26:43.720
 Last time

00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:44.819
 I went camping

00:26:44.819 --> 00:26:45.340
 my tent

00:26:45.340 --> 00:26:46.380
 collapsed twice

00:26:46.380 --> 00:26:48.079
 before I was able

00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:48.519
 to actually

00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:49.299
 put it up properly.

00:26:50.420 --> 00:26:51.200
 It was

00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:52.480
 pretty flimsy.

00:26:54.779 --> 00:26:55.620
 When we think

00:26:55.620 --> 00:26:56.100
 of the most

00:26:56.100 --> 00:26:57.180
 royal and glamorous

00:26:57.180 --> 00:26:58.240
 accommodations

00:26:58.240 --> 00:26:59.059
 we do not

00:26:59.059 --> 00:26:59.859
 think of tents.

00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:02.319
 No matter

00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:02.940
 how glorious

00:27:02.940 --> 00:27:03.339
 it is

00:27:03.339 --> 00:27:04.000
 the tabernacle

00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:04.500
 is still

00:27:04.500 --> 00:27:05.339
 a portable

00:27:05.339 --> 00:27:06.400
 shelter

00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:07.640
 used for

00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:08.140
 camping

00:27:08.140 --> 00:27:09.620
 in the wilderness.

00:27:10.980 --> 00:27:11.440
 That's why

00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:12.720
 later in 2 Samuel 7

00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:13.299
 2 David

00:27:13.299 --> 00:27:13.980
 laments to

00:27:13.980 --> 00:27:14.740
 Nathan the prophet

00:27:14.740 --> 00:27:15.680
 see now

00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:16.559
 I dwell

00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:17.519
 in a house

00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:18.039
 of cedar

00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:19.120
 but the ark

00:27:19.120 --> 00:27:19.759
 of God

00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:20.420
 dwells

00:27:20.420 --> 00:27:21.180
 in a tent.

00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:23.140
 So he

00:27:23.140 --> 00:27:23.740
 realized that

00:27:23.740 --> 00:27:24.339
 there is

00:27:24.339 --> 00:27:25.019
 a gross

00:27:25.019 --> 00:27:25.960
 incongruity

00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:26.339
 there and

00:27:26.339 --> 00:27:27.339
 he sets out

00:27:27.339 --> 00:27:27.859
 right away

00:27:27.859 --> 00:27:28.199
 to make

00:27:28.199 --> 00:27:28.720
 preparations

00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:29.119
 for the

00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:29.359
 building

00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:29.879
 of God's

00:27:29.879 --> 00:27:30.199
 temple

00:27:30.199 --> 00:27:30.959
 and it's

00:27:30.959 --> 00:27:31.399
 his son

00:27:31.399 --> 00:27:31.779
 Solomon

00:27:31.779 --> 00:27:32.059
 that

00:27:32.059 --> 00:27:32.679
 completes

00:27:32.679 --> 00:27:33.299
 that

00:27:33.299 --> 00:27:33.799
 task

00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:34.199
 and

00:27:34.199 --> 00:27:34.379
 even

00:27:34.379 --> 00:27:34.779
 Solomon

00:27:34.779 --> 00:27:35.159
 after

00:27:35.159 --> 00:27:35.699
 finishing

00:27:35.699 --> 00:27:36.079
 building

00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:36.539
 the temple

00:27:36.539 --> 00:27:37.079
 which is

00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:37.859
 grander than

00:27:37.859 --> 00:27:38.759
 the tabernacle

00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:39.539
 and twice

00:27:39.539 --> 00:27:40.459
 as big

00:27:40.459 --> 00:27:41.039
 in all its

00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:41.679
 proportions

00:27:41.679 --> 00:27:43.199
 1 Kings 8

00:27:43.199 --> 00:27:44.039
 27 he says

00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:44.240
 this

00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:44.779
 but will

00:27:44.779 --> 00:27:45.160
 God

00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:45.579
 indeed

00:27:45.579 --> 00:27:46.039
 dwell

00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:46.480
 on the

00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:46.880
 earth

00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:47.960
 behold

00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:48.440
 heaven

00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:48.779
 and the

00:27:48.779 --> 00:27:49.160
 highest

00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:49.480
 heaven

00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:49.799
 cannot

00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:50.339
 contain

00:27:50.339 --> 00:27:50.640
 you

00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:51.519
 how much

00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:51.779
 less

00:27:51.779 --> 00:27:52.039
 this

00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:52.440
 house

00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:52.880
 that I

00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:53.059
 have

00:27:53.059 --> 00:27:53.400
 built

00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:55.400
 if

00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:55.880
 even

00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:56.120
 the

00:27:56.120 --> 00:27:56.599
 temple

00:27:56.599 --> 00:27:57.000
 is

00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:57.500
 inadequate

00:27:57.500 --> 00:27:58.380
 accommodation

00:27:58.380 --> 00:27:59.140
 for the

00:27:59.140 --> 00:27:59.799
 Lord God

00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:00.660
 then how

00:28:00.660 --> 00:28:00.980
 can

00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:01.359
 this

00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:01.940
 tent

00:28:01.940 --> 00:28:03.359
 possibly

00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:04.240
 be

00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:04.920
 a

00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:05.180
 fitting

00:28:05.180 --> 00:28:05.579
 dwelling

00:28:05.579 --> 00:28:06.000
 place

00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:06.240
 for

00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:06.579
 almighty

00:28:06.579 --> 00:28:06.900
 God

00:28:06.900 --> 00:28:10.299
 remember

00:28:10.299 --> 00:28:10.740
 the last

00:28:10.740 --> 00:28:11.099
 time we

00:28:11.099 --> 00:28:11.500
 heard of

00:28:11.500 --> 00:28:11.720
 God

00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:12.180
 dwelling

00:28:12.180 --> 00:28:12.660
 somewhere

00:28:12.660 --> 00:28:13.279
 it was in

00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:13.740
 the previous

00:28:13.740 --> 00:28:14.160
 chapter

00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:15.079
 when it

00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:15.339
 said

00:28:15.339 --> 00:28:15.720
 that

00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:15.899
 the

00:28:15.899 --> 00:28:16.220
 cloud

00:28:16.220 --> 00:28:16.579
 covered

00:28:16.579 --> 00:28:16.720
 a

00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:17.000
 mountain

00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:17.500
 the

00:28:17.500 --> 00:28:17.859
 glory

00:28:17.859 --> 00:28:18.019
 of

00:28:18.019 --> 00:28:18.139
 the

00:28:18.139 --> 00:28:18.379
 Lord

00:28:18.379 --> 00:28:19.160
 dwelt

00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:19.700
 on

00:28:19.700 --> 00:28:19.960
 Mount

00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:20.500
 Sinai

00:28:20.500 --> 00:28:21.259
 and

00:28:21.259 --> 00:28:21.379
 the

00:28:21.379 --> 00:28:21.599
 cloud

00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:22.059
 covered

00:28:22.059 --> 00:28:22.220
 it

00:28:22.220 --> 00:28:22.500
 six

00:28:22.500 --> 00:28:22.879
 days

00:28:22.879 --> 00:28:23.460
 and

00:28:23.460 --> 00:28:23.559
 on

00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:23.700
 the

00:28:23.700 --> 00:28:23.980
 seventh

00:28:23.980 --> 00:28:24.180
 day

00:28:24.180 --> 00:28:24.339
 he

00:28:24.339 --> 00:28:24.619
 called

00:28:24.619 --> 00:28:24.819
 to

00:28:24.819 --> 00:28:25.139
 Moses

00:28:25.139 --> 00:28:25.599
 out

00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:25.700
 of

00:28:25.700 --> 00:28:25.819
 the

00:28:25.819 --> 00:28:26.480
 cloud

00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:26.660
 now

00:28:26.660 --> 00:28:26.779
 the

00:28:26.779 --> 00:28:27.160
 appearance

00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:27.299
 of

00:28:27.299 --> 00:28:27.399
 the

00:28:27.399 --> 00:28:27.639
 glory

00:28:27.639 --> 00:28:27.759
 of

00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:27.859
 the

00:28:27.859 --> 00:28:28.019
 Lord

00:28:28.019 --> 00:28:28.220
 was

00:28:28.220 --> 00:28:28.440
 like

00:28:28.440 --> 00:28:28.660
 a

00:28:28.660 --> 00:28:29.359
 devouring

00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:30.099
 fire

00:28:30.099 --> 00:28:30.799
 on

00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:30.920
 the

00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:31.180
 top

00:28:31.180 --> 00:28:31.279
 of

00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:31.379
 the

00:28:31.379 --> 00:28:31.680
 mountain

00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:31.899
 in

00:28:31.899 --> 00:28:32.019
 the

00:28:32.019 --> 00:28:32.220
 side

00:28:32.220 --> 00:28:32.319
 of

00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:32.399
 the

00:28:32.399 --> 00:28:32.660
 people

00:28:32.660 --> 00:28:32.839
 of

00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:33.180
 Israel

00:28:33.180 --> 00:28:34.879
 use

00:28:34.879 --> 00:28:34.960
 your

00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:35.339
 imagination

00:28:35.339 --> 00:28:35.839
 for a

00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:35.940
 bit

00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:43.519
 eruption

00:28:43.519 --> 00:28:44.619
 I'm

00:28:44.619 --> 00:28:44.740
 not

00:28:44.740 --> 00:28:44.879
 saying

00:28:44.879 --> 00:28:45.019
 that

00:28:45.019 --> 00:28:45.119
 it

00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:45.339
 was

00:28:45.339 --> 00:28:45.460
 a

00:28:45.460 --> 00:28:45.740
 volcanic

00:28:45.740 --> 00:28:46.119
 eruption

00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:46.359
 I

00:28:46.359 --> 00:28:46.500
 think

00:28:46.500 --> 00:28:46.619
 it

00:28:46.619 --> 00:28:46.720
 would

00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:46.940
 look

00:28:46.940 --> 00:28:47.339
 similar

00:28:47.339 --> 00:28:48.079
 there's

00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:48.200
 a

00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:48.619
 devouring

00:28:48.619 --> 00:28:49.180
 fire

00:28:49.180 --> 00:28:49.639
 atop

00:28:49.639 --> 00:28:49.859
 Mount

00:28:49.859 --> 00:28:50.319
 Sinai

00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:51.200
 consuming

00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:51.779
 everything

00:28:51.779 --> 00:28:52.059
 that

00:28:52.059 --> 00:28:52.299
 dares

00:28:52.299 --> 00:28:52.480
 to

00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:52.799
 cross

00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:52.960
 its

00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:53.420
 paths

00:28:53.420 --> 00:28:54.160
 and

00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:54.299
 the

00:28:54.299 --> 00:28:54.740
 clouds

00:28:54.740 --> 00:28:55.039
 with

00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:55.579
 billowing

00:28:55.579 --> 00:28:55.980
 crowds

00:28:55.980 --> 00:28:56.160
 with

00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:56.299
 the

00:28:56.299 --> 00:28:56.779
 massive

00:28:56.779 --> 00:28:57.440
 cauliflower

00:28:57.440 --> 00:28:57.740
 like

00:28:57.740 --> 00:28:58.039
 shape

00:28:58.039 --> 00:28:58.240
 just

00:28:58.240 --> 00:28:58.980
 ballooning

00:28:58.980 --> 00:28:59.660
 everywhere

00:28:59.660 --> 00:28:59.940
 and

00:28:59.940 --> 00:29:00.259
 covering

00:29:00.259 --> 00:29:00.940
 so you

00:29:00.940 --> 00:29:01.279
 can't

00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:01.700
 see

00:29:01.700 --> 00:29:02.500
 anything

00:29:02.500 --> 00:29:02.920
 around

00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:03.319
 you

00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:04.960
 how

00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:05.339
 does

00:29:05.339 --> 00:29:05.819
 God

00:29:05.819 --> 00:29:06.119
 whose

00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:06.619
 glory

00:29:06.619 --> 00:29:06.879
 is

00:29:06.879 --> 00:29:07.139
 like

00:29:07.139 --> 00:29:07.619
 a

00:29:07.619 --> 00:29:08.180
 devouring

00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:10.680
 inside

00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:10.859
 a

00:29:10.859 --> 00:29:11.180
 tent

00:29:11.180 --> 00:29:14.160
 it's

00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:14.279
 an

00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:26.960
 mug

00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:31.400
 how

00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:31.759
 can

00:38:51.380 --> 00:38:51.819
 amazing

00:38:51.819 --> 00:38:52.980
 think

00:38:52.980 --> 00:38:53.139
 about

 it

00:38:53.279 --> 00:38:53.639
 God

00:38:56.500 --> 00:38:58.119

 something

00:39:03.460 --> 00:39:04.199
 king

00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:04.739

00:39:04.739 --> 00:39:05.279
 ask

00:39:05.279 --> 00:39:05.799
 something

00:39:05.799 --> 00:39:06.019

 the

 men

 and

00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:38.619
 women

00:39:38.619 --> 00:39:39.119
 of

00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:39.480
 Israel

00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:40.280
 donated

00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:41.639
 valuables

00:39:41.639 --> 00:39:42.200
 precious

00:39:42.200 --> 00:39:42.740
 commodities

00:39:42.740 --> 00:39:43.200
 and they

00:39:43.200 --> 00:39:43.619
 volunteered

00:39:43.619 --> 00:39:44.720
 their time

00:39:44.720 --> 00:39:45.160
 and skill

00:39:45.160 --> 00:39:45.480
 for the

00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:45.860
 construction

00:39:45.860 --> 00:39:46.160
 of the

00:39:46.160 --> 00:39:46.579
 tabernacle

00:39:46.579 --> 00:39:47.320
 not because

00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:48.200
 they had

00:39:48.200 --> 00:39:48.519
 to

00:39:48.519 --> 00:39:49.280
 but because

00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:49.960
 they wanted

00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:50.220
 to

00:39:50.220 --> 00:39:50.460
 because

00:39:50.460 --> 00:39:51.160
 their hearts

00:39:51.160 --> 00:39:51.920
 stirred

00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:52.420
 them to

00:39:52.420 --> 00:39:52.860
 and their

00:39:52.860 --> 00:39:53.380
 spirit

00:39:53.380 --> 00:39:54.220
 moved

00:39:54.220 --> 00:39:54.680
 them to

00:39:54.680 --> 00:39:56.220
 my

00:39:56.220 --> 00:39:56.579
 gold

00:39:56.579 --> 00:39:57.000
 earring

00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:58.400
 can

00:39:58.400 --> 00:39:58.900
 become a

00:39:58.900 --> 00:39:59.200
 part

00:39:59.200 --> 00:39:59.680
 of the

00:39:59.680 --> 00:40:00.059
 ark

00:40:00.059 --> 00:40:01.000
 of the

00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:01.480
 covenant

00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:04.500
 the

00:40:04.500 --> 00:40:04.920
 linens

00:40:04.920 --> 00:40:05.380
 that I

00:40:05.380 --> 00:40:05.740
 weave

00:40:05.739 --> 00:40:06.319
 with my

00:40:06.319 --> 00:40:06.819
 hands

00:40:06.819 --> 00:40:07.599
 and the

00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:07.859
 leather

00:40:07.859 --> 00:40:08.339
 that I

00:40:08.339 --> 00:40:08.719
 tan

00:40:08.719 --> 00:40:09.199
 with my

00:40:09.199 --> 00:40:09.559
 hands

00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:10.019
 can

00:40:10.019 --> 00:40:10.299
 become

00:40:10.299 --> 00:40:10.500
 the

00:40:10.500 --> 00:40:10.959
 covering

00:40:10.959 --> 00:40:11.339
 for

00:40:11.339 --> 00:40:12.179
 God's

00:40:12.179 --> 00:40:12.759
 holy

00:40:12.759 --> 00:40:13.539
 dwelling

00:40:13.539 --> 00:40:14.079
 place

00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:14.979
 by all

00:40:14.979 --> 00:40:15.319
 means

00:40:15.319 --> 00:40:15.779
 take

00:40:15.779 --> 00:40:16.159
 it

00:40:16.159 --> 00:40:19.459
 what

00:40:19.459 --> 00:40:19.779
 else

00:40:19.779 --> 00:40:20.159
 can I

00:40:20.159 --> 00:40:20.479
 do

00:40:20.479 --> 00:40:21.359
 what

00:40:21.359 --> 00:40:21.799
 else

00:40:21.799 --> 00:40:22.199
 can I

00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:22.639
 give

00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:23.299
 to my

00:40:23.299 --> 00:40:23.659
 Lord

00:40:23.659 --> 00:40:24.299
 my

00:40:24.299 --> 00:40:24.759
 king

00:40:24.759 --> 00:40:33.379
 in

00:40:33.379 --> 00:40:33.719
 Exodus

00:40:33.719 --> 00:40:34.419
 38

00:40:34.419 --> 00:40:35.059
 21

00:40:35.059 --> 00:40:35.219
 to

00:40:35.219 --> 00:40:35.719
 31

00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:36.279
 which

00:40:36.279 --> 00:40:36.419
 we

00:40:36.419 --> 00:40:36.619
 read

00:40:36.619 --> 00:40:36.939
 earlier

00:40:36.939 --> 00:40:37.199
 there's

00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:37.339
 a

00:40:37.339 --> 00:40:37.699
 careful

00:40:37.699 --> 00:40:38.179
 accounting

00:40:38.179 --> 00:40:39.059
 of the

00:40:39.059 --> 00:40:39.579
 contribution

00:40:39.579 --> 00:40:40.059
 that the

00:40:40.059 --> 00:40:40.339
 people

00:40:40.339 --> 00:40:40.699
 brought

00:40:40.699 --> 00:40:41.259
 recorded

00:40:41.259 --> 00:40:41.559
 by

00:40:41.559 --> 00:40:42.099
 Ithamar

00:40:42.099 --> 00:40:42.980
 the son

00:40:42.980 --> 00:40:43.359
 of Aaron

00:40:43.359 --> 00:40:43.879
 the priest

00:40:43.879 --> 00:40:45.259
 every time

00:40:45.259 --> 00:40:45.719
 people give

00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:46.239
 money they want

00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:46.779
 to know how

00:40:46.779 --> 00:40:47.219
 their money is

00:40:47.219 --> 00:40:47.679
 being used

00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:47.959
 that it's

00:40:47.959 --> 00:40:48.939
 being stewarded

00:40:48.939 --> 00:40:49.379
 wisely

00:40:49.379 --> 00:40:51.039
 that's why we as a church

00:40:51.039 --> 00:40:52.379
 also take particular care

00:40:52.379 --> 00:40:53.219
 to make sure every

00:40:53.219 --> 00:40:54.939
 offering and every expense

00:40:54.939 --> 00:40:55.839
 is noted

00:40:55.839 --> 00:40:58.259
 and cataloged

00:40:58.260 --> 00:41:00.260
 and maybe

00:41:00.260 --> 00:41:00.280
 and maybe

00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:01.600
 one day we too

00:41:01.600 --> 00:41:02.340
 will get a chance

00:41:02.340 --> 00:41:02.820
 to use

00:41:02.820 --> 00:41:03.660
 some of the money

00:41:03.660 --> 00:41:04.460
 for a sanctuary

00:41:04.460 --> 00:41:05.860
 to worship God

00:41:05.860 --> 00:41:06.120
 in

00:41:06.120 --> 00:41:07.300
 because it's

00:41:07.300 --> 00:41:08.340
 hard-earned money

00:41:08.340 --> 00:41:09.260
 that God's people

00:41:09.260 --> 00:41:10.380
 have generously

00:41:10.380 --> 00:41:10.820
 given

00:41:10.820 --> 00:41:13.140
 and if you look

00:41:13.140 --> 00:41:14.120
 at Ithamar's

00:41:14.120 --> 00:41:14.820
 bookkeeping

00:41:14.820 --> 00:41:16.320
 in chapter 38

00:41:16.320 --> 00:41:17.800
 it says

00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:18.580
 that the people's

00:41:18.580 --> 00:41:19.320
 offerings amounted

00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:20.540
 to 29 talents

00:41:20.540 --> 00:41:21.520
 and 730

00:41:21.520 --> 00:41:22.700
 shekels of gold

00:41:22.699 --> 00:41:24.379
 that's a total

00:41:24.379 --> 00:41:28.119
 of 2,210.65 pounds

00:41:28.119 --> 00:41:28.619
 of gold

00:41:28.619 --> 00:41:31.960
 the current gold

00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:32.899
 price per pound

00:41:32.899 --> 00:41:33.439
 is said to be

00:41:33.439 --> 00:41:35.639
 22,103 dollars

00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:36.960
 so that's nearly

00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:38.679
 50 million dollars

00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:39.659
 worth of gold

00:41:39.659 --> 00:41:41.960
 that God's people

00:41:41.960 --> 00:41:43.659
 willingly brought

00:41:43.659 --> 00:41:44.719
 as an offering

00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:45.099
 to him

00:41:45.099 --> 00:41:50.879
 I did the math

00:41:50.879 --> 00:41:51.500
 for the silver

00:41:51.500 --> 00:41:52.319
 and the bronze too

00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:52.860
 but I won't get

00:41:52.860 --> 00:41:53.260
 into that

00:41:53.260 --> 00:41:54.140
 it's just total

00:41:54.140 --> 00:41:56.300
 it's 52 million

00:41:56.300 --> 00:41:56.800
 or so

00:41:56.800 --> 00:41:57.880
 dollars

00:41:57.880 --> 00:41:58.880
 not counting

00:41:58.880 --> 00:41:59.260
 the value

00:41:59.260 --> 00:41:59.700
 of all the

00:41:59.700 --> 00:42:00.500
 precious stones

00:42:00.500 --> 00:42:01.200
 the jewels

00:42:01.200 --> 00:42:04.100
 the dyed yarn

00:42:04.100 --> 00:42:06.600
 this is a massive

00:42:06.600 --> 00:42:08.340
 financial undertaking

00:42:08.340 --> 00:42:10.480
 but where in the world

00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:11.320
 did the Israelites

00:42:11.320 --> 00:42:12.120
 get all these

00:42:12.120 --> 00:42:14.620
 after all

00:42:14.620 --> 00:42:15.380
 they're

00:42:15.380 --> 00:42:15.980
 but former

00:42:15.980 --> 00:42:17.059
 Egyptian slaves

00:42:17.059 --> 00:42:19.220
 fleeing captivity

00:42:19.220 --> 00:42:20.220
 and wandering

00:42:20.220 --> 00:42:20.800
 in the wilderness

00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:21.620
 where in the world

00:42:21.619 --> 00:42:22.059
 did they get

00:42:22.059 --> 00:42:23.460
 these precious

00:42:23.460 --> 00:42:23.859
 commodities

00:42:23.859 --> 00:42:24.779
 we see a clue

00:42:24.779 --> 00:42:25.920
 in Exodus 35

00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:26.900
 22-23

00:42:26.900 --> 00:42:27.960
 it says

00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:28.500
 men and women

00:42:28.500 --> 00:42:29.359
 brought brooches

00:42:29.359 --> 00:42:30.000
 and earrings

00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:30.859
 and signet rings

00:42:30.859 --> 00:42:31.539
 and armlets

00:42:31.539 --> 00:42:32.480
 and all sorts

00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:33.299
 of gold objects

00:42:33.299 --> 00:42:34.199
 and everyone

00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:34.699
 who possessed

00:42:34.699 --> 00:42:35.460
 blue or purple

00:42:35.460 --> 00:42:36.400
 or scarlet yarns

00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:36.980
 or fine linen

00:42:36.980 --> 00:42:37.679
 or goat's hair

00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:38.539
 or tanned rammed skin

00:42:38.539 --> 00:42:39.179
 or goat skins

00:42:39.179 --> 00:42:39.839
 brought them

00:42:39.839 --> 00:42:41.239
 in other words

00:42:41.239 --> 00:42:42.579
 they're not going

00:42:42.579 --> 00:42:43.559
 mining somewhere

00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:45.279
 for gold

00:42:45.279 --> 00:42:46.880
 they're bringing

00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:47.440
 the gold

00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:48.000
 gold and silver

00:42:48.000 --> 00:42:48.880
 and bronze

00:42:48.880 --> 00:42:49.659
 and precious stones

00:42:49.659 --> 00:42:50.659
 that they already

00:42:50.659 --> 00:42:51.139
 have

00:42:51.139 --> 00:42:53.400
 they're not

00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:54.539
 engaging in any

00:42:54.539 --> 00:42:55.260
 kind of maritime

00:42:55.260 --> 00:42:56.000
 trade

00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:57.059
 for these expensive

00:42:57.059 --> 00:42:58.000
 dyed yarn

00:42:58.000 --> 00:42:59.460
 they're bringing

00:42:59.460 --> 00:43:00.400
 what they already

00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:01.039
 had

00:43:01.039 --> 00:43:01.940
 or what they

00:43:01.940 --> 00:43:02.700
 could make

00:43:02.700 --> 00:43:03.280
 with what they

00:43:03.280 --> 00:43:04.000
 already have

00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:05.820
 and if you look

00:43:05.820 --> 00:43:06.619
 back at Exodus

00:43:06.619 --> 00:43:08.139
 12-35-36

00:43:08.139 --> 00:43:09.099
 when the Israelites

00:43:09.099 --> 00:43:10.400
 were leaving Egypt

00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:11.340
 it says that

00:43:11.340 --> 00:43:12.320
 they asked the

00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:13.340
 Egyptians for

00:43:13.340 --> 00:43:13.740
 what?

00:43:13.739 --> 00:43:15.979
 silver and gold

00:43:15.979 --> 00:43:17.859
 jewelry and clothing

00:43:17.859 --> 00:43:19.659
 and the Lord

00:43:19.659 --> 00:43:20.939
 had given the people

00:43:20.939 --> 00:43:21.979
 favor in the side

00:43:21.979 --> 00:43:22.500
 of the Egyptians

00:43:22.500 --> 00:43:23.619
 so that they let

00:43:23.619 --> 00:43:24.500
 them have what

00:43:24.500 --> 00:43:25.199
 they asked

00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:26.579
 thus they plunder

00:43:26.579 --> 00:43:27.379
 the Egyptians

00:43:27.379 --> 00:43:29.119
 they are building

00:43:29.119 --> 00:43:30.399
 the tabernacle

00:43:30.399 --> 00:43:31.639
 with materials

00:43:31.639 --> 00:43:32.859
 from their plunder

00:43:32.859 --> 00:43:33.979
 their peaceful

00:43:33.979 --> 00:43:34.419
 plunder

00:43:34.419 --> 00:43:35.659
 of the Egyptians

00:43:35.659 --> 00:43:37.659
 which by the way

00:43:37.659 --> 00:43:38.599
 they had

00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:39.519
 only because

00:43:39.519 --> 00:43:39.959
 the Lord

00:43:39.959 --> 00:43:40.679
 had already

00:43:40.679 --> 00:43:42.099
 disposed the Egyptians

00:43:42.099 --> 00:43:43.000
 to be favorable

00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:43.940
 and generous

00:43:43.940 --> 00:43:45.059
 toward them

00:43:45.059 --> 00:43:46.400
 so in essence

00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:47.000
 the Israelites

00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:48.239
 are giving back

00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:48.800
 to God

00:43:48.800 --> 00:43:49.519
 a portion of

00:43:49.519 --> 00:43:50.480
 what he has

00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:51.760
 given to them

00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:53.119
 in fact

00:43:53.119 --> 00:43:53.780
 that's the case

00:43:53.780 --> 00:43:54.559
 with everything

00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:55.420
 we bring to God

00:43:55.420 --> 00:43:57.260
 David captures

00:43:57.260 --> 00:43:57.880
 this sentiment

00:43:57.880 --> 00:43:58.760
 in 1 Chronicles

00:43:58.760 --> 00:43:59.500
 29-14

00:43:59.500 --> 00:44:00.440
 he gathers

00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:01.280
 all the supplies

00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:02.039
 for the construction

00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:02.800
 of the temple

00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:03.760
 and then he thanks

00:44:03.760 --> 00:44:04.099
 God

00:44:04.099 --> 00:44:04.760
 and then he says

00:44:04.760 --> 00:44:05.000
 this

00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:05.940
 but who am I

00:44:05.940 --> 00:44:07.380
 and what is

00:44:07.380 --> 00:44:08.059
 my people

00:44:08.059 --> 00:44:08.960
 that we should

00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:09.659
 be able thus

00:44:09.659 --> 00:44:10.119
 to offer

00:44:10.119 --> 00:44:10.619
 willingly

00:44:10.619 --> 00:44:12.599
 for all things

00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:13.839
 come from you

00:44:13.839 --> 00:44:15.639
 and of your own

00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:17.259
 have we given you

00:44:17.259 --> 00:44:19.960
 how can we be credited

00:44:19.960 --> 00:44:21.819
 with bringing contribution

00:44:21.819 --> 00:44:22.940
 for the Lord's temple

00:44:22.940 --> 00:44:24.619
 when all that we have

00:44:24.619 --> 00:44:25.839
 is actually from him

00:44:25.839 --> 00:44:26.619
 in the first place

00:44:26.619 --> 00:44:28.559
 but that's the privilege

00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:29.619
 that God gives us

00:44:29.619 --> 00:44:30.980
 he counts that

00:44:30.980 --> 00:44:33.119
 the same truth

00:44:33.119 --> 00:44:33.819
 applies to us

00:44:33.819 --> 00:44:35.099
 in our new covenant context

00:44:35.099 --> 00:44:36.019
 I mentioned earlier

00:44:36.019 --> 00:44:37.199
 of how God's people

00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:38.159
 we the church

00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:39.679
 are God's temple

00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:41.099
 and that God's spirit

00:44:41.099 --> 00:44:42.259
 dwells in us

00:44:42.259 --> 00:44:43.679
 God is still

00:44:43.679 --> 00:44:44.500
 in the business

00:44:44.500 --> 00:44:45.659
 of building a dwelling

00:44:45.659 --> 00:44:46.899
 place for himself

00:44:46.899 --> 00:44:48.980
 1 Peter 2 5

00:44:48.980 --> 00:44:50.019
 says that we ourselves

00:44:50.019 --> 00:44:51.419
 like living stones

00:44:51.419 --> 00:44:52.739
 are being built up

00:44:52.739 --> 00:44:54.000
 as a spiritual house

00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:54.699
 as the house

00:44:54.699 --> 00:44:56.039
 of the spirit

00:44:56.039 --> 00:44:56.519
 of God

00:44:56.519 --> 00:44:58.659
 we ourselves

00:44:58.659 --> 00:45:00.059
 are the tabernacle

00:45:00.059 --> 00:45:01.199
 that God is building

00:45:01.199 --> 00:45:02.419
 as a dwelling place

00:45:02.419 --> 00:45:03.139
 for himself

00:45:03.139 --> 00:45:04.179
 and the Lord

00:45:04.179 --> 00:45:05.099
 invites us

00:45:05.099 --> 00:45:06.359
 to contribute to it

00:45:06.359 --> 00:45:07.379
 to give to it

00:45:07.379 --> 00:45:08.659
 to work for it

00:45:08.659 --> 00:45:12.399
 Ephesians 4 12

00:45:12.399 --> 00:45:13.659
 uses that same metaphor

00:45:13.659 --> 00:45:14.779
 of construction again

00:45:14.779 --> 00:45:15.980
 to say that we are

00:45:15.980 --> 00:45:17.359
 building up the body

00:45:17.359 --> 00:45:17.879
 of Christ

00:45:17.879 --> 00:45:19.379
 when we use our gifts

00:45:19.379 --> 00:45:20.399
 when each part

00:45:20.399 --> 00:45:21.440
 is working properly

00:45:21.440 --> 00:45:22.899
 we make the body grow

00:45:22.899 --> 00:45:24.440
 and it builds itself

00:45:24.440 --> 00:45:25.359
 up in love

00:45:25.359 --> 00:45:29.179
 we are being joined

00:45:29.179 --> 00:45:29.739
 together

00:45:29.739 --> 00:45:31.879
 as God's dwelling place

00:45:31.879 --> 00:45:33.899
 brick by brick

00:45:33.899 --> 00:45:35.739
 and each time

00:45:35.739 --> 00:45:37.139
 we bear with one another

00:45:37.139 --> 00:45:39.500
 each time

00:45:39.500 --> 00:45:40.099
 we forgive

00:45:40.099 --> 00:45:40.920
 one another

00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:42.179
 each time

00:45:42.179 --> 00:45:43.019
 we serve

00:45:43.019 --> 00:45:43.500
 one another

00:45:43.500 --> 00:45:44.159
 each time

00:45:44.159 --> 00:45:45.659
 we speak the truth

00:45:45.659 --> 00:45:46.319
 in love

00:45:46.319 --> 00:45:47.119
 to one another

00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:48.099
 each time

00:45:48.099 --> 00:45:49.199
 we encourage

00:45:49.199 --> 00:45:49.679
 one another

00:45:49.679 --> 00:45:50.699
 exhort one another

00:45:50.699 --> 00:45:51.519
 from the scriptures

00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:52.460
 each time

00:45:52.460 --> 00:45:53.059
 we sing

00:45:53.059 --> 00:45:53.659
 to one another

00:45:53.659 --> 00:45:54.319
 the truths

00:45:54.319 --> 00:45:55.119
 of the gospel

00:45:55.119 --> 00:45:56.879
 we are contributing

00:45:56.879 --> 00:45:58.279
 to the building up

00:45:58.279 --> 00:45:59.179
 of God's

00:45:59.179 --> 00:46:01.039
 very dwelling place

00:46:01.039 --> 00:46:03.019
 that's the privilege

00:46:03.019 --> 00:46:03.579
 we have

00:46:03.579 --> 00:46:04.339
 in serving

00:46:04.340 --> 00:46:05.380
 one another

00:46:05.380 --> 00:46:08.880
 we

00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:09.539
 even though

00:46:09.539 --> 00:46:10.519
 we are so weak

00:46:10.519 --> 00:46:12.140
 and so deficient

00:46:12.140 --> 00:46:13.200
 and so frail

00:46:13.200 --> 00:46:14.720
 we get to contribute

00:46:14.720 --> 00:46:16.120
 to the building up

00:46:16.120 --> 00:46:17.280
 of God's dwelling place

00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:22.300
 I've noticed

00:46:22.300 --> 00:46:23.500
 recently that

00:46:23.500 --> 00:46:25.180
 some of the children

00:46:25.180 --> 00:46:25.880
 in our church

00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:27.100
 have been

00:46:27.100 --> 00:46:27.940
 putting in

00:46:27.940 --> 00:46:28.840
 their own offerings

00:46:28.840 --> 00:46:30.060
 into our offering box

00:46:30.060 --> 00:46:32.680
 during worship

00:46:32.680 --> 00:46:34.820
 Jen

00:46:34.820 --> 00:46:36.060
 counts

00:46:36.060 --> 00:46:36.820
 and records

00:46:36.820 --> 00:46:37.580
 and deposits

00:46:37.580 --> 00:46:38.120
 the offerings

00:46:38.120 --> 00:46:38.640
 as our church

00:46:38.640 --> 00:46:39.160
 administrator

00:46:39.160 --> 00:46:40.140
 and she's been

00:46:40.140 --> 00:46:40.620
 telling me

00:46:40.620 --> 00:46:41.200
 that she's been

00:46:41.200 --> 00:46:42.920
 finding offering envelopes

00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:43.860
 with a dollar in it

00:46:43.860 --> 00:46:45.900
 and one of the children's

00:46:45.900 --> 00:46:46.540
 names on it

00:46:46.539 --> 00:46:48.420
 and she's also been

00:46:48.420 --> 00:46:49.539
 finding loose change

00:46:49.539 --> 00:46:50.360
 in the offering boxes

00:46:50.360 --> 00:46:51.659
 without any name

00:46:51.659 --> 00:46:54.659
 and of course

00:46:54.659 --> 00:46:56.059
 our children

00:46:56.059 --> 00:46:57.099
 don't work jobs

00:46:57.099 --> 00:46:57.900
 so they're

00:46:57.900 --> 00:46:59.179
 giving their parents

00:46:59.179 --> 00:46:59.599
 money

00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:01.099
 money that they got

00:47:01.099 --> 00:47:01.400
 from her

00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:02.380
 or maybe from an uncle

00:47:02.380 --> 00:47:03.279
 or something like that

00:47:03.279 --> 00:47:05.119
 and yet

00:47:05.119 --> 00:47:07.320
 when I see them

00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:07.739
 doing it

00:47:07.739 --> 00:47:08.340
 when I catch them

00:47:08.340 --> 00:47:09.039
 doing it sometimes

00:47:09.039 --> 00:47:09.679
 they do it

00:47:09.679 --> 00:47:10.759
 with such joy

00:47:10.759 --> 00:47:12.139
 and eagerness

00:47:12.139 --> 00:47:13.159
 that they get

00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:14.139
 to be part of this

00:47:14.139 --> 00:47:15.480
 that they get

00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:16.340
 to give something

00:47:16.340 --> 00:47:18.320
 of their own

00:47:18.320 --> 00:47:22.800
 and that's what

00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:23.620
 we get to do

00:47:23.620 --> 00:47:25.000
 what God's

00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:26.300
 graciously provided

00:47:26.300 --> 00:47:27.100
 to us

00:47:27.100 --> 00:47:29.140
 we can use that

00:47:29.140 --> 00:47:29.820
 to give to him

00:47:29.820 --> 00:47:31.920
 what God has

00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:33.300
 graciously gifted us

00:47:33.300 --> 00:47:33.500
 with

00:47:33.500 --> 00:47:34.260
 we get to

00:47:34.260 --> 00:47:35.480
 serve him

00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:36.300
 render service

00:47:36.300 --> 00:47:36.700
 to him

00:47:36.700 --> 00:47:38.600
 the health

00:47:38.600 --> 00:47:39.019
 that God

00:47:39.019 --> 00:47:39.660
 has given us

00:47:39.660 --> 00:47:41.039
 the energy

00:47:41.039 --> 00:47:41.480
 that God

00:47:41.480 --> 00:47:41.960
 has given us

00:47:41.960 --> 00:47:42.559
 the resources

00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:43.180
 God has given us

00:47:43.180 --> 00:47:43.579
 the money

00:47:43.579 --> 00:47:44.019
 that God

00:47:44.019 --> 00:47:44.440
 has given us

00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:45.180
 the experience

00:47:45.179 --> 00:47:45.619
 that God

00:47:45.619 --> 00:47:46.239
 has given us

00:47:46.239 --> 00:47:47.099
 the skills

00:47:47.099 --> 00:47:47.500
 that God

00:47:47.500 --> 00:47:48.000
 has given us

00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:48.559
 the gifts

00:47:48.559 --> 00:47:49.239
 that God

00:47:49.239 --> 00:47:49.799
 has given us

00:47:49.799 --> 00:47:50.219
 let us all

00:47:50.219 --> 00:47:50.759
 eagerly

00:47:50.759 --> 00:47:51.599
 and cheerfully

00:47:51.599 --> 00:47:52.819
 give back

00:47:52.819 --> 00:47:53.259
 to God

00:47:53.259 --> 00:47:53.859
 for the building

00:47:53.859 --> 00:47:54.419
 up of his

00:47:54.419 --> 00:47:55.239
 dwelling place

00:47:55.239 --> 00:47:55.819
 among us

00:47:55.819 --> 00:47:57.139
 and

00:47:57.139 --> 00:47:58.599
 that building

00:47:58.599 --> 00:47:59.619
 will one day

00:47:59.619 --> 00:48:00.339
 be completed

00:48:00.340 --> 00:48:03.620
 and when it's

00:48:03.620 --> 00:48:04.019
 completed

00:48:04.019 --> 00:48:05.400
 this is what's

00:48:05.400 --> 00:48:05.940
 going to happen

00:48:05.940 --> 00:48:07.019
 in Revelation

00:48:07.019 --> 00:48:07.600
 21

00:48:07.600 --> 00:48:08.740
 verses 2 to 4

00:48:08.740 --> 00:48:10.260
 and I saw

00:48:10.260 --> 00:48:11.240
 the holy city

00:48:11.240 --> 00:48:13.420
 new Jerusalem

00:48:13.420 --> 00:48:15.140
 this is the

00:48:15.140 --> 00:48:15.700
 dwelling place

00:48:15.700 --> 00:48:15.980
 of God

00:48:15.980 --> 00:48:16.800
 coming down

00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:17.559
 out of heaven

00:48:17.559 --> 00:48:18.400
 from God

00:48:18.400 --> 00:48:20.320
 prepared as a

00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:20.780
 bride

00:48:20.780 --> 00:48:22.039
 adorned for

00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:22.600
 her husband

00:48:22.600 --> 00:48:23.660
 that's us

00:48:23.660 --> 00:48:24.780
 we are that

00:48:24.780 --> 00:48:25.400
 dwelling place

00:48:25.400 --> 00:48:26.800
 and I heard

00:48:26.800 --> 00:48:27.480
 a loud voice

00:48:27.480 --> 00:48:28.019
 from the throne

00:48:28.019 --> 00:48:28.460
 saying

00:48:28.460 --> 00:48:29.039
 behold

00:48:29.039 --> 00:48:30.260
 the dwelling

00:48:30.260 --> 00:48:31.579
 place of God

00:48:31.579 --> 00:48:32.599
 is with man

00:48:32.599 --> 00:48:34.960
 he will dwell

00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:35.800
 with them

00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:36.980
 and they

00:48:36.980 --> 00:48:38.240
 will be

00:48:38.240 --> 00:48:39.220
 his people

00:48:39.220 --> 00:48:40.720
 and God

00:48:40.720 --> 00:48:42.119
 himself

00:48:42.119 --> 00:48:43.539
 will be

00:48:43.539 --> 00:48:44.320
 with them

00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:45.300
 as

00:48:45.300 --> 00:48:46.260
 their God

00:48:46.260 --> 00:48:48.960
 so let's look

00:48:48.960 --> 00:48:49.619
 forward to that

00:48:49.619 --> 00:48:49.880
 day

00:48:49.880 --> 00:48:51.320
 and keep building

00:48:51.320 --> 00:48:52.559
 let's pray together

00:48:52.559 --> 00:49:10.159
 Father we love

00:49:10.159 --> 00:49:10.380
 you

00:49:10.380 --> 00:49:14.779
 you are so

00:49:14.779 --> 00:49:16.759
 glorious

00:49:16.759 --> 00:49:18.380
 so grand

00:49:18.380 --> 00:49:20.179
 majestic

00:49:20.179 --> 00:49:20.820
 beyond our

00:49:20.820 --> 00:49:21.440
 comprehension

00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:25.079
 and yet

00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:25.420
 you

00:49:25.420 --> 00:49:26.940
 sent your

00:49:26.940 --> 00:49:27.679
 only son

00:49:27.679 --> 00:49:28.200
 Jesus

00:49:28.200 --> 00:49:32.480
 so that

00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:33.099
 in his

00:49:33.099 --> 00:49:33.960
 condescension

00:49:33.960 --> 00:49:34.500
 in his

00:49:34.500 --> 00:49:35.240
 humiliation

00:49:35.240 --> 00:49:37.079
 we might

00:49:37.079 --> 00:49:37.700
 get to know

00:49:37.700 --> 00:49:38.019
 you

00:49:38.019 --> 00:49:39.440
 that we

00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:39.780
 might

00:49:39.780 --> 00:49:40.860
 be saved

00:49:40.860 --> 00:49:43.059
 that we

00:49:43.059 --> 00:49:43.800
 might be

00:49:43.800 --> 00:49:44.800
 consecrated

00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:46.079
 as your

00:49:46.079 --> 00:49:46.780
 dwelling place

00:49:46.780 --> 00:49:48.740
 Father thank

00:49:48.740 --> 00:49:48.940
 you

00:49:48.940 --> 00:49:49.599
 for this

00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:49.960
 grace

00:49:49.960 --> 00:49:53.920
 Lord let

00:49:53.920 --> 00:49:54.559
 this truth

00:49:54.559 --> 00:49:55.340
 transform

00:49:55.340 --> 00:49:55.659
 the way

00:49:55.659 --> 00:49:56.179
 we live

00:49:56.179 --> 00:49:57.900
 as we

00:49:57.900 --> 00:49:58.240
 remember

00:49:58.240 --> 00:49:58.599
 that we

00:49:58.599 --> 00:49:59.059
 are the

00:49:59.059 --> 00:49:59.440
 temple

00:49:59.440 --> 00:49:59.800
 of the

00:49:59.800 --> 00:49:59.980
 Holy

00:49:59.980 --> 00:50:00.320
 Spirit

00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:03.000
 and that

00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:03.360
 in every

00:50:03.360 --> 00:50:03.820
 interaction

00:50:03.820 --> 00:50:04.320
 with one

00:50:04.320 --> 00:50:04.519
 another

00:50:04.519 --> 00:50:04.840
 we are

00:50:04.840 --> 00:50:05.340
 building

00:50:05.340 --> 00:50:05.599
 up

00:50:05.599 --> 00:50:05.980
 your

00:50:05.980 --> 00:50:06.519
 home

00:50:06.519 --> 00:50:12.960
 and as

00:50:12.960 --> 00:50:13.280
 we do

00:50:13.280 --> 00:50:13.480
 that

00:50:13.480 --> 00:50:13.960
 Lord fill

00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:14.340
 us more

00:50:14.340 --> 00:50:14.579
 and more

00:50:14.579 --> 00:50:14.940
 with your

00:50:14.940 --> 00:50:15.300
 Spirit

00:50:15.300 --> 00:50:17.340
 give us

00:50:17.340 --> 00:50:17.800
 a greater

00:50:17.800 --> 00:50:18.599
 foretaste

00:50:18.599 --> 00:50:20.639
 of that

00:50:20.639 --> 00:50:21.280
 eternal

00:50:21.280 --> 00:50:22.239
 dwelling

00:50:22.239 --> 00:50:27.900
 in the new

00:50:27.900 --> 00:50:28.480
 heavens and the

00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:28.900
 new earth

00:50:28.900 --> 00:50:32.199
 when you will be

00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:32.599
 with us

00:50:32.599 --> 00:50:32.960
 forever

00:50:32.960 --> 00:50:35.579
 we look

00:50:35.579 --> 00:50:36.019
 forward to

00:50:36.019 --> 00:50:36.280
 that

00:50:36.280 --> 00:50:38.240
 come Lord

00:50:38.240 --> 00:50:38.500
 soon

00:50:38.500 --> 00:50:38.840
 Lord

00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:42.500
 in Jesus

00:50:42.500 --> 00:50:42.940
 name we

00:50:42.940 --> 00:50:43.159
 pray

00:50:43.159 --> 00:50:44.039
 amen
