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?
