TABERNACLE SHADOWS ITS TYPES & SHADOWS
The Tabernacle is “a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses is warned (of God) when he is about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern that was showed thee in the mount.” Heb 8:5 ASV The Tabernacle shows how sin is cleansed in the Gospel & Millennial Ages. How was the Tabernacle a copy?
“For the law having a shadow of the good (things) to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh.” Heb 10:1 ASV What was the problem with the Law of Moses? The sacrifices of the Law could not actually take peoples sins away, but were merely a picture of something in the future that would take sins away.
“But Christ having come a high priest of the good things to come, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,” Heb 9:11 ASV Jesus is the reality that the Tabernacle points to. Christ, head and body, accomplishes what Aaron and the Law Covenant could not.

GOLD & SILVER Mal 3:3 – “And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.” KJV Reprint 5119:5 – “This prophecy refers… to the antitypical priesthood… The work of this great Refiner is to purify the members of the Church class--not only the Little Flock, but the Great Company as well… Gold represents the Divine or higher order of spirit nature, and silver, the lower order. The gold represents the Little Flock, and the Silver the Great Company."
GOLD & SILVER 2 Tim 2:20 – “But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.” KJV HG752:4 – “In the New Testament this class is referred to… as "vessels of silver," or less honorable than the vessels of gold, and they are particularly brought to our attention in our Lord's last message to his Church, in which he pictures them as a "great company" in contrast with the "little flock."
Gold Silver Divine Nature (Church) Spirit Nature (Great Company)

COPPER (BRONZE) Num 21:5,6&8 – “And the people spoke against God and against Moses: "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread." So the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel died. …
COPPER (BRONZE) Num 21:5,6&8 – “... Then the LORD said to Moses, ”Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live." So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived. - NKJV
Copper Serpent = Perfect Sinless Jesus Copper = Human Perfection "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness even so must the Son of Man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life."--`John 3:14,15`.
