Not many believers realize that the veil and the screen (the two curtains in the tabernacle in Exodus) are related to the two aspects of reconciliation Paul speaks about in 2 Cor. 5:18-21. Our God is enterable: He has come through incarnation to become a tabernacle, an enterable God, and in His resurrection we all […]
Allowing the Uniting Spirit to Cross us and Join us to other Believers in the Body
The oneness the Lord Jesus prayed for in John 17 is seen in picture in the tabernacle in Exo. 26 in three main steps: the three gold rings on the standing boards, the gold overlaying the boards, and the uniting bars that joined all the boards. The Lord prayed that we all may be one […]
Oneness is a matter of Sinking Deeply into the Triune God until We’re Mingled with Him
It is quite interesting to see how the oneness in the Triune God is typified by the oneness as seen in the tabernacle in Exodus 26, especially in the gold overlaying the standing boards and causing them to be one – this shows us that oneness is nothing else but sinking deeply into the Triune […]

Taking Christ as Life and Everything for us to be Transformed and Built up Together
I have never before considered the tabernacle and the priesthood together, but this week I have seen something further concerning this: the Lord’s heart’s desire is the building, the main emphasis of the Bible is life and building, and the tabernacle (the building of God) is actually the same as the priesthood (the built up […]
The Emphasis in the Bible is on God’s Building; our Unique Need is to be Built Up
Christ today is building up His church; God’s goal is His building, and our unique need is for us to be built up. The entire Bible speaks of life and building: God is life, He gives Himself to man as life in the form of food (the tree of life) and drink (the living water) […]
Only when we are Built and Coordinated into the Building can we Serve the Lord
As believers in Christ we are both living stones being built up into a spiritual house and a priesthood that is built up and coordinated into the building of God. In Exodus we see that the goal of God delivering His people from Egypt, bringing them across the Red Sea, giving them heavenly food and drink in […]
