Speak to the people of Israel, that they take for me a contribution. From every man whose heart moves him you shall receive the contribution for me.
#exodus 25:2
Anything given to God is holy. Don't change your mind or take it back. Remember Achan in Joshua 7. Remember Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5. Our contributions to God's Kingdom are God's, not ours. We might benefit from the things that God has enabled us to bring, but that's not why we give. #trumah

The #tabernacle (Mishkan) isn't just a model of the Heavenly Tabernacle. It is also a model of God Himself. Its arrangement, materials, and furnishings hint at a complex and mysterious structure within God. Consider just the Ark of the Covenant:
The inner gold ark is inner purity and a right heart.
The middle acacia ark is a heart of flesh instead of stone.
The outer gold ark is outward obedience, which earns crowns in heaven.
We are each made in the image of God, yet we are not complete outside of a family. As the Mishkan is a reflection of God and ourselves, it is also a reflection of a family. What does that say about God himself?

The #tabernacle (Mishkan) is made after the pattern of a Greater Mishkan in Heaven, which is patterned after God himself. Since we are an image of God, the Tabernacle can also tell us about ourselves, our marriages, and our lives as believers.
The order of furnishings in the Mishkan mirrors the life of a believer:
Outer Gate = repentance
Fire Altar = commitment
Bronze Lavre = sanctification
Five Pillars = obedience to Torah (aka God's Law)
Menorah and Table = fellowship with the Spirit and Son
Altar of Incense = worship
Four Pillars = Spiritual maturity?
Holy of Holies = judgment before God
The Ark = fellowship with the Father, through the Son

WISDOM FOR TODAY: Pro 19:21 Many plans are in a man's heart, But the counsel of the LORD will stand.
