  3. Overview of the tabernacle and temples Today will look at Exodus, 2 Chronicles, Ezekiel, and Ezra The tabernacle is the center of God’s presence on earth in the O.T. After arriving in the land, the people build a temple based on the layout of the tabernacle Temple is destroyed, then rebuilt Class will look at each of these events

  4. Elements of the Tabernacle Read Exodus 25:10-22 (description of the ark of the covenant) Outer wall Altar of burnt offerings Washbowl (laver) Holy Place Lampstand Table of bread Altar of Incense Curtain (Most Holy Place) Ark of the covenant

  5. Layout of the tabernacle based on Exodus 25-27, 35-40

  6. Main elements of the Tabernacle • Outer wall • Rectangular 100 X 50 cubits (~150 X 75 feet) • Made of blue, purple and scarlet linen • Courtyard • Altar of burnt offerings • First thing encountered upon entering • Made of acacia wood overlaid with bronze • Washbasin • Made of bronze • Used mirrors donated by the women

  7. Main elements of the Tabernacle • Inner tent called “Holy Place” • Altar of incense • God gives extremely strict recipe for incense to be used on the altar • Made of acacia wood overlaid with gold • Lampstand • Made of a talent of pure gold (about 70-100 lbs) • Holds seven oil-based candles • Illuminates the Holy Place • Table of bread • Acacia wood overlaid with gold • Holds 12 loaves of bread replaced each week

  8. Main elements of the Tabernacle • Most Holy Place (Holy of Holies) • Separated from Holy Place by a veil • Veil made of twisted blue, purple and scarlet linen • No illumination entered the Most Holy Place • Ark of the Covenant • Acacia wood overlaid with gold • Carried by acacia wood poles overlaid with gold • Contained stone tablets, Aaron’s staff, jar of manna • Everything in the tabernacle made by Bezalel and Oholiab

  9. Completion of the Tabernacle Read Exodus 40:34-38 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. Throughout all their journeys whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel would set out; but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out until the day when it was taken up. For throughout all their journeys, the cloud of the LORD was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel.

  10. God fills the tabernacle God’s glory cloud fills the tabernacle Nobody is able to enter the tabernacle because of the cloud The cloud (or a flame at night) always stayed with the tabernacle, and could be seen by everyone

  11. Location of Solomon’s Temple Where was the temple built? Read 2 Chronicles 3:1 “Then Solomon began to build the temple of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David. It was on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, the place provided by David.” Same location as Jehovah Jireh, where God provided a substitutionary sacrifice in place of Isaac. Same location where God stopped a plague, and David made sacrifices Same location as the sentencing of Jesus, and very close to Golgotha

  12. Show map of Temple Mount

  13. Construction of Solomon’s Temple • Temple was built by Solomon, 480 years after Israel left Egypt (1 Kings 6) • Tabernacle was used during this time • Temple built according to the same plan as the tabernacle, with a few modifications and variations • Temple built by Solomon, with extreme care and planning

  14. Completion of the temple Read 2 Chronicles 7:1-3 When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple. The priests could not enter the temple of the LORD because the glory of the LORD filled it. When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the LORD above the temple, they knelt on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, “He is good; his love endures forever.”

  15. God fills the temple • God’s glory comes in fire and cloud and fills the temple • Nobody is able to enter the tabernacle because of the cloud • Singing in unison • “He indeed is good for His lovingkindness is everlasting”

  16. Israel falls away from God After Solomon builds the temple, he introduces idolatry into Israel Israel is split into two nations Northern Kingdom is utterly destroyed by Assyrians Southern Kingdom survives longer, then turns to idolatry as well Captives taken to Babylon, where Ezekiel prophesies

  17. God abandons the temple Read Ezekiel 10:3-5, 10:18-19 and 11:22-25 God’s glory moves from the inner court of the temple to the threshold of the temple. From the threshold it moves to the east gate on the outer perimeter of the temple From there it moves to a mountain east of Jerusalem (Mount of Olives) God’s presence is described as fire and wind

  18. Israel is destroyed After Ezekiel’s vision, all that remains of Israel is wiped out Not one stone is left upon another The temple is utterly destroyed The golden elements of the temple are plundered The Ark of the Covenant is lost Israelites are taken captive in Babylon for 70 years according to Jeremiah’s prophesies

  19. Ezra and Zerubbabel build the 2nd temple Read Ezra 3:10-13 Now when the builders had laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, the priests stood in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise the LORD according to the directions of King David of Israel. They sang, praising and giving thanks to the LORD, saying, "For He is good, for His lovingkindness is upon Israel forever." And all the people shouted with a great shout when they praised the LORD because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid. Yet many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers' households, the old men who had seen the first temple, wept with a loud voice when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, while many shouted aloud for joy, so that the people could not distinguish the sound of the shout of joy from the sound of the weeping of the people, for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the sound was heard far away.

  20. What’s different? • Levitical singers, sons of Asaph • Trumpets, cymbals, and singing • “For He is good, for His lovingkindness is upon Israel forever” • Some are shouting for joy, others are weeping • God’s fire/cloud/wind never comes to the temple

  21. 2nd Temple • 2nd temple remains standing through the time of Jesus • Undergoes various repairs, some of which were conducted by Herod • Often called “Herod’s temple” • Temple destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. Never rebuilt. • Outer courtyard wall on western side still stands, now called “wailing wall.”

  22. Where does God’s glory next appear? With Jesus, of course Mount of Transfiguration (Matt. 17:1-8) Peter says “Lets build tabernacles here.” Next appearance of the cloud is Acts 1:9, when Jesus ascends into a cloud and disappears Next appearance is Acts 2, when Jesus’s disciples are worshipping at the temple grounds, and fire and wind descend upon them

  23. We are God’s temple Apostle Paul points out that we are God’s temple several times in his letters, in 1st Corinthians, 2nd Corinthians, and Ephesians. This illustrates that we are “not our own” but we belong to God, as his house. (1 Cor. 6:19) Illustrates that we should not be defiled by things not suitable for a temple (2 Cor. 6:16) Shows that we should not tear each other down (1 Cor. 3:16,17) Shows that we should be unified (Eph. 2:21)

  24. Next Week Discuss offerings, sacrifices, and holidays Read Leviticus
