Our job assignment is to serve as priests in the temple. What does this mean? Wafting incense around, sprinkling blood here and there...is there a meaning for us in the daily activites of the tabernacle priests?

 

I think that if we understand our mission as priests in the world it gives life a deep meaning and purpose. Could I even suggest that our job assignment is more "exciting" than that of a secret agent in "Mission Impossible."

Is there any value in studying a sacrificial system which has been obsolete for almost 2,000 years?

 

The New Testament continually redirects our attention to the sanctuary service which would seem to invite a deeper understanding of the symbols involved. For example, Peter would say that we are being built together as "a spritual temple" (1 Peter 2:5) while Paul would repeatedly ask the question, "Don't you know that you are the temple?"

 

What does the Tabernacle in the wilderness tell us about the spiritual temple?

The Tabernacle system that God instituted in the wilderness is quite simply a genious masterpiece in the way that it met the people in that time. At the same time, it has a powerful message for us today about the plan of salvation.
