What Was the Tabernacle? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781527111752)

God gave the Israelites the tabernacle as a place to worship him, but also as a wonderful picture that points to Jesus.

Although God had rescued his people out of slavery in Egypt, they rebelled against him and worshipped other gods. So God gave Moses rules to teach his people how to love God and each other. He also gave him instructions for how to build a moveable temple for the Lord.

This tent provided a way for the Israelites to serve and worship God his way, in reverence and awe. But the tabernacle was also full of symbols that pointed to Jesus - when God became a man and lived amongst his people.

Danika Cooley, homeschool mom and curriculum developer, shows how understanding this place of worship is as important for Christians today as it was for the Israelites.
