Introduction<\/b><\/p>\n

As the previous chapter of Exodus has led us, we have been looking at the various pieces of furniture in the tabernacle. Chapter 26 now turns our attention to the tabernacle itself – the curtains, the structure, the dimensions, and the pieces holding it together. As Jesus Christ in the flesh is our true tabernacle, there is so much here to behold concerning the Lord Jesus, and much that goes beyond my own present understanding. So with the help of the Holy Spirit we will consider the big ideas and themes of the tabernacle curtains and structure, and may God bless it to our Christian lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

So as we have read the description of these things, let us put these details together to get a view of what is going on here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inside View<\/b><\/p>\n

The first curtains for the tabernacle that we read of were concerning the curtains that would be seen from the inside of the tabernacle. We have the curtains of blue, scarlet, and purple on the inside curtains, but those were not the curtains you would see from the outside. There was an outer covering which we will get to in a moment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The curtains that you would see on the inside were made from fine twined linen, with blue, scarlet, and purple yarn, with Cherubim embroidered on them. These colors are ones that we see all throughout the design of the tabernacle, including on the priestly garments, which we will see in future weeks, Lord willing. In fact, these colors are often seen together throughout the Bible.<\/span><\/p>\n

To state the main theme of the design: the inside of the tabernacle was designed after heaven. Some would say it was a type of heaven. It was patterned after the heavenly things as God showed Moses on the mountain. Think of the whole scene. We discussed the ark of the testimony with the cherubim on the mercy seat on top of the ark, which is a picture of the divine throne room with the bread of the presence as a memorial before it, and the golden lampstand, reminding us of the seven spirits of God that are watching the earth and watching over His Church – the Holy Spirit – where it is always light in God\u2019s presence. Now we have more cherubim which are embroidered into the curtains, and the curtains are made with these precious and royal colors of heaven. On top of that you have all of the furniture made with gold and the pieces holding it together of gold – the wooden frames overlaid with gold – would all give a brilliant glorious light with the light of the lampstand reflecting off of it. This was a glorious scene of the divine throne room – indeed it was God\u2019s sanctuary on earth where He would dwell in the midst of His people.<\/span><\/p>\n

But as we particularly consider the curtains of the tabernacle, we should pay special attention to the colors prescribed by God of blue, scarlet, and purple. These were not random colors chosen, but have special biblical significance in light of\u00a0 Jesus Christ being the true tabernacle, and the tabernacle ultimately being a type of Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider the blue. The blue is chiefly a color of heaven. In the bible, blue is heavenly. In God\u2019s creation blue is the most rare color in nature. In fact there is no pigment of \u201ctrue blue\u201d in nature, if you have heard that phrase. So indeed it is out of this world, if you will. It is otherworldly. It is heavenly. In terms of biblical theology, we mainly see blue spoken of in these fine materials, but this is not the first time we have seen blue in Exodus. If you recall from Exodus 24, when Moses, Aaron, and the 70 elders went up the mountain to meet with God, what did they see described as under God\u2019s feet? Exodus 24:10, \u201c…There was under his feet as it were a pavement of sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness.\u201d The sapphire stone is a blue color. And this blue sapphire stone is described as being \u201clike the very heaven for clearness.\u201d It is a color of heaven. We also saw that this is the same thing as Ezekiel saw when He saw a vision of the throne of heaven. In Ezekiel 1:26, Ezekiel looks up and sees the throne which he describes in appearance like sapphire stone. And again he sees the same thing in Ezekiel 10.<\/span><\/p>\n

So we have the heavenly color of blue, and we also have the curtains of the tabernacle made with scarlet – a red like color. This color is of course a color like blood, which speaks of man for it is earthly flesh which bleeds blood. And the Bible speaks to the necessity of blood for the forgiveness of sins. The blood of animals provided a temporary measure until God came in flesh as the true sacrifice for sins upon the cross. Scarlet speaks to the blood which atones for our sins, and cleansing from uncleanness. In Leviticus there are cleansing rites which involve dipping a scarlet yarn into blood which would then be applied and sprinkled on that which was cleansed. It was a scarlet rope which Rahab hung from her home which saved her from the destruction of Jericho. God says in the prophet Isaiah, \u201cThough your sins be as scarlet, I will make them white as snow.\u201d And in Matthew\u2019s gospel it was a scarlet robe that was placed upon Jesus as He was beaten and mocked on trial before His crucifixion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So we have the heavenly color of blue and the color of scarlet which speaks to the blood which comes from flesh, and then we have the purple. As we know, purple was the most expensive of colors, only the most wealthy could afford it, so it was a sign of great riches and wealth, which was most often a sign of royalty. Boys and girls, what happens when you mix blue and scarlet (or red) together? You get purple. So we have the heavenly color of blue and the red of man\u2019s blood coming together to make purple, which is a beautiful picture of the Lord Jesus Christ who was sent from heaven to put on flesh so that He may shed His blood for our sins. Then after Jesus rises from the dead, He ascends to Heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father, at the throne, as a King, having received all authority in heaven and on earth, and having the nations for His inheritance which He purchased with His blood. So we have a type of the hypostatic union, the God-man Jesus Christ, the divine putting on flesh to be our King. This was the very nature of the tabernacle, it was from heaven, patterned after the heavenly things, cloaked in the goats hair skins and tanned rams skins.<\/span><\/p>\n

Outside View<\/b><\/p>\n

This takes us to the outside view of the tabernacle. The outer curtains and coverings of the tabernacle were made of a much more simple and earthy looking material – that of goats hair skins and tanned rams skin. The outer pieces for fitting them together were made of bronze as opposed to gold on the inside. So one would look upon the tabernacle from the outside and see a simple earthy looking tent, but inside was the heavenly scene. So you have this idea that the divine or heavenly was cloaked or veiled with flesh.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is interesting to note that some translations have the tanned ram skins as rams skin dyed red, which gives you the picture of the covering of the tabernacle being a sacrificial animal.<\/span><\/p>\n

One Whole<\/b><\/p>\n

So we have the curtains for the tabernacle and the skins for covering on the outside, and they were large pieces of cloth and skin. The inside curtains were two sets of five, the outside were 11 total. They were made with loops to fit together in the frames with clasps of gold for the inside and clasps of bronze on the outside – bronze being a more red metal compared to gold by the way. So all these pieces were made to be fit together as verse 6 says, \u201cso that the tabernacle may be a single whole.\u201d Here we see the unity of the structure. All of these elements went in to making the tabernacle a single whole. We have spoken of the tabernacle being a type of Christ, picturing Him in many ways. Jesus is the true tabernacle and true temple, but also, in union with Jesus Christ, the church, the people of God are living temples, and the church is built up with many parts into one single whole – the bride of Christ, the household of faith. Jesus prays for the unity of the church in John 17, that they may be one. Paul speaks of the church as one body with many members. He even uses the tabernacle-like language of joints holding the whole body together in Ephesians 2:19-22, \u201cSo then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.\u201d And again in Ephesians 4:15-16, saying, \u201cRather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the hole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.\u201d So we see in Christ, the true tabernacle, the structure of the church is joint together and built up into a single whole.<\/span><\/p>\n

Separation<\/b><\/p>\n

There is another important theme the curtains of the tabernacle teach us, which is the idea of separation. The innermost place was the holy of holies which was veiled off, then the holy place with its curtains, all the way to the curtain for the screen of the entrance to the outer covers. These were curtains of separation, teaching the people there is only one way in to God and that we are unclean and separated from God who is clothed in the splendor of holiness. Only certain people at certain times with cleansing could go into certain places of the tabernacle. The innerplace where God dwelt was holy and separate from the uncleanness and sin of the flesh that defiles. Inside is the gold and beauty of the colors of the heavenly throne room, but you can\u2019t just go in there and you can\u2019t simply peer in and live. Even in transporting the tabernacle there were cloth covers for the furniture pieces and poles as well for carrying – direct contact could not be made. There was separation between sinners and the holiness of God. Only through the substitute of a sacrifice, the blood spilled, the smoke of the sacrifice rising to God, through this representative sacrifice were the people brought before God as it were.<\/span><\/p>\n

So we are taught this problem of separation between sinners and God, and the need for a substitute and representative sacrifice to bring us before God.<\/span><\/p>\n

Christ\u2019s veil tearing and flesh<\/b><\/p>\n

So it was when the Lord Jesus gave up His spirit on the cross, Matthew\u2019s gospel tells us that the earth shook, rocks split, and the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. It was an earth shaking, world-changing event, the death of Christ, our sacrificial substitute. Some say that this was an outer curtain separating the court of the gentiles, others say that this was the veil that separated the holy of holies. The text just tells us that it was THE curtain, which I believe points to the veil separating the holy of holies. So it was torn from top to bottom, signifying the work of God which no man could do. God left that temple made with human hands, no longer to dwell there, but through Jesus Christ entering the holy place as our substitute sacrifice, He dwells in us by His Spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n

This tearing of the curtain does not mean that there is no longer any separation between God and sinners, for as much as ever, sinners cannot stand before God unclean and live. Instead, it signifies a new temple, a new tabernacle, the true way to God, through Jesus Christ by faith. We still have a tabernacle, we still have a curtain, but it is not made of fine twined linen, it is made of flesh and blood, as Hebrews 10:19-22 says, \u201cTherefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.\u201d It is a new and living way. His blood sprinkles us clean. His flesh is the curtain through which we enter. He is the great High Priest. As the tabernacle had one way to rightly approach and enter, so through faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to rightly approach God and enter into the holy place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Application<\/b><\/p>\n

So as we have considered the curtains of the tabernacle in view of Jesus Christ, let me leave you with a few applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

Think again of the tabernacle, how on the inside it was one of the most beautiful things on earth, but outside, it was very modest to look at. This principle is what should characterize our lives as Christians. As the Holy Spirit indwells us, what is in our hearts and comes out should be more precious than gold – from within should come the fruit of the Spirit, kindness to others, a deep joy in God, an unwavering faith in Jesus, a gentle spirit, purity of heart, a controlled tongue, peace that passes understanding, and love for the brethren.<\/span><\/p>\n

And on the outside we should present ourselves with modesty both in the way we dress physically, and in regard to interacting with others – with humility, considering all others as more important than ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

We don\u2019t want to be like white-washed tombs, as Jesus called the Pharisees – where the outside of our lives looks nice and clean and beautiful but the inside is rotten and dirty and unclean. We don\u2019t want to be hypocrites. We want to cultivate purity of heart, sincerity of mind and spirit, and outwardly be humble and modest toward others.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just like the inside of the tabernacle was heavenly and otherworldly in color and design and value, so too is this inward beauty of heart and spirit otherworldly. It does not come from ourselves or our flesh. It comes from God – it is the fruit of His Spirit, so that it is truly other-worldly. It is heaven being done on earth. It is God\u2019s will being done on earth as it is in heaven.<\/span><\/p>\n

So may we think about these things this week as we interact with our spouse, our family, our friends, our neighbors, those we work with and come across this week.<\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Finally, just as we saw the whole structure of the tabernacle coming together as one single whole, may we be spurred on in our commitment to the body of Christ and the unity therein. Jesus prayed for the unity of the church. Do you work against that in your life? Are you not committed to the body? Do you tear her down with your words? Or do you love the body and desire to see her bound together in unity, truth, and love as one single whole? You can work toward that end this week, by praying for one another, serving one another, confessing your sins and forgiving one another, and having meals with one another.<\/span><\/p>\n

So may God help us to be marked by the riches of the spirit that flow from the heart, modesty of appearance toward others, and unity as a single whole.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
