In a class studying Hebrews in our local congregation, we are impressed with the many references to the Tabernacle (9X, NKJV). The Old Testament and its priesthood “serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things” (Heb. 8:5), and are among the things “having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things” (Heb. 10:1). It is a matter of typology: the OT tabernacle, its priests, its sacrifices, point forward to the High Priest Jesus, with His sacrifice (His blood), and the “true tabernacle” (Heb. 8:2) with its “holy place” which is “heaven itself” (Heb. 9:24).
In this post we will share some visuals of the life-size model of the tabernacle in Timna, southern Israel.
Inside the court is the altar of burnt offering, and the laver.
Here is a view inside the tabernacle, where you see the lampstand on your left, the table of showbread on your right, and the altar of incense at back just in front of the veil. Also you can see models of the priest, and High Priest.
Our final photo shows the view behind the veil, with the ark of the covenant, with its mercy seat and cherubim.
These visuals may be helpful in particular in a study of Hebrews, or the Old Testament book of Leviticus. Click images for larger view.
