Third (last) 40 Years of Moses • The covenant and God’s Law • The Tabernacle • Moses Character
The Old Covenant Established Ex. 24:3-8 So Moses came and toldthe people all the words of the LORD and all the judgments. And all the people answered with one voice and said, "All the words which the LORD has said we will do." And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD. And he rose early in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel. Then he sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the LORD. And Moses took half the blood and put it in basins, and half the blood he sprinkled on the altar. Then he took the Book of the Covenant and readin the hearing of the people. And they said, "All that the LORD has said we will do, and be obedient." And Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, "This is the blood of the covenant which the LORD has made with you according to all these words."
The New Covenant Mat. 26:26-28 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed it and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “All of you drink from it. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

The Tabernacle The Pattern: Ex. 25:7-9, 40 And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it… 40 And see to it that you make them according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain… Ex. 26:30 And you shall raise up the tabernacle according to its pattern which you were shown on the mountain. Ex. 27:8 You shall make it hollow with boards; as it was shown you on the mountain, so shall they make it.
The Tabernacle Was it important to make it exactly like the pattern? Ex. 39:32, 42 Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was finished. And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses; so they did. 42 According to all that the LORD had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work. Ex. 40:16 Thus Moses did; according to all that the LORD had commanded him, so he did.
The Tabernacle Why was it important to make it exactly as God commanded? Because it all represented a (pattern, type, figure) of something to come in the future. WHAT? Heb. 9:23-24 Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;…
The Tabernacle Today • ONLY Levites could enter & serve in the Holy Place! What About Today? 1 Peter 2:5, 9 …you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ… 9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
The Tabernacle in the New Testament Acts 2:36-38, 41, 47 "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ." Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?" Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit… 41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them… 47 …praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
Exodus: Lesson For Us Today • God is sovereign and holy, yet gracious and compassionate. • Redemption is always through sacrifice. • God does have his Plan for his people and guides his people. • God reveals his word, inspires his word, illumines his word, and communicates his word. • Unbelief or negative volition reaps consequences. • God always keeps his word to his people. • God appointed leadership is necessary for his people.
