COMPLETION OF THE TABERNACLE (EX.35-40)
So Moses began telling the people of Yisharal about every instruction YAHUSHA had given him during his forty day sessions with YAHUSHA, about the Shabath Rest, Contributions and specific requirements for the Tabernacle and all it’s furnishings, the Priesthood and Sacrifices, Oils and Incenses (sparing no detail). And those in Yisharal (who’s hearts were willing) contributed all the materials needed to build the Tabernacle (to the point where Moses had to send word out, stopping the contributions, for they had more than enough materials required to complete the project, following all of YAHUSHA’S instructions to the letter. Everyone gave of what they had, gold, silver, metals, fabrics, oils etc, and everyone’s skills and trades were put to good use implementing the blue-prints YAHUSHA had given. And when everything was completed and Moses inspected all their work, he found it had been done just as YAHUSHA had instructed him, so he blessed them all.
THEY HAD TO BE WILLING AND EMPOWERED BY YAHUSHA’S SPIRIT, OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN THEIR OWN STRENGTH, WHICH ALWAYS FALLS SHORT.
Then YAHUSHA said to Moses, “Set up the Dwelling Place for My Tent of Meeting on the first day of the new year and place the Ark of the Blood-Covenant-Witness inside, and install the veil to screen the Ark within the Most Set-Apart Place. Then bring in the Table of Showbread, and arrange the utensils on it. And bring in the Golden Lampstand, and set up all the oil-lamps. Place the Altar of Incense in front of the Ark of the Blood-Covenant-Witness, then hang the door-covering at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. Place the Brazen Altar in front of the door to the Tent of Meeting and set the Brazen Laver between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and fill it with water. Then set up the courtyard around the outside of the Tent of Meeting, and hang the covering for the Courtyard Entrance. Take the Anointing Oil and anoint the whole Tabernacle (Dwelling Place) and all of its furnishings to set them apart and anoint the altar of burnt offering and its utensils to cleanse them too. Then the altar will become absolutely set-apart. Next anoint the washbasin and its stand to set them apart too. Then present Aaron and his sons at the Entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water. Dress Aaron with the set-apart garments and anoint him, setting him apart to serve Me as a priest. Then present his sons and dress them in their tunics too. Anoint them as you did their father, so they may also serve Me as priests. And with their anointing, Aaron’s descendants are set apart for the priesthood forever, from generation to generation.”
IT’S INTERESTING THAT WHEN YAHUSHA GAVE MOSES THE BLUE-PRINTS FOR THE TABERNACLE HE STARTED FROM THE INSIDE AND WORKED HIS WAY OUT (LOOKING AT IT FROM THE WAY HE APPROACHES MANKIND). HOWEVER WHEN YISHARAL BEGAN BUILDING THEY STARTED FROM THE OUTSIDE STRUCTURE AND WORKED THEIR WAY IN, FINISHING WITH THE FURNITURE ETC, WHICH OF COURSE IS THE WAY MANKIND APPROACHES YAHUSHA FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE TABERNACLE CONTAINED ABOUT 3 TONNES OF PRECIOUS METALS AND TOOK ABOUT 5-6 MONTHS TO COMPLETE.
And Moses proceeded to do everything just as YAHUSHA had instructed him and the Tabernacle in the wilderness was set up on the first day of the first month of the second year. And when Moses and the priests of Levi finished the work, the cloud covered the Tabernacle, and the esteem of YAHUSHA filled it. And Moses could no longer enter the Dwelling Place because the cloud had settled down over it, and the esteem of YAHUSHA filled the entire Tabernacle.
And whenever the cloud lifted from the Tabernacle, the people of Yisharal would set out on their journey, following it. But if the cloud did not rise, they remained where they were until it lifted. The cloud of YAHUSHA hovered over the Tabernacle in the wilderness during the day, and at night, fire glowed inside the cloud so that the whole nation of Yisharal could see it. And this continued throughout all their journeys in the wilderness.
OUR BODIES ARE THE LIVING DWELLING PLACE OF YAHUSHA’S SPIRIT AND WE MUST WAIT AND BE PATIENT BEFORE MOVING, ACTING ON SOMETHING OR BEHAVING A CERTAIN WAY. IF WE DON’T WAIT FOR THE CLOUD TO MOVE AND BE LEAD BY YAHUSHA, OUR PLANS AND LIVES WILL FALL FLAT ON THEIR FACES.
