We are walking in today:  5 Smooth Stones, Exodus 25--Supplies And Directions For The Tabernacle

Witness deceived throughout the Bible:  H2048 hathal to mock, defraud
Genesis 31:7; Deuteronomy 11:16; Isaiah 44:20; Jeremiah 49:16; Ezekiel 14:9; Obediah 1:7; Job 15:31; Proverbs 20:1; Lamentations 1:19; Luke 21:8; Romans 7:11; 1 Corinthians 6:9; Revelation 19:20, 20:10

This study of Exodus 25 is a first for many of us.  We have returned to the wholeness of His word, from Genesis to Revelation!  This chapter gives us the details of the directions of how to build, set up and construct the tabernacle.  This building did not begin until the people gave willing to Yahweh, not motivated by a specific need.  We have all experienced the coercing of offerings by churches and programs on television.  This is not according to scripture.  We are to have a heart to give, we are made in His image and likeness--Yahweh is a giver and we should reflect that.  The details of how to construct the items that were to go into the tabernacle, how the the tent was to be made, and the items that the priest were to wear.  We can see with all of this detail that Yahweh has this all planned out to the finest points.  How could we believe that we could pick and choose which scriptures we are to uphold over any others?  The tabernacle was the place that Yahweh would meet the people,  so all things had to be in order.  The awesome thing about all of this is that He did not leave anything to chance that the children of Israel or us now, would get things right on our own.  He is Avinu Malkeinu, our Father our King--how He cares and protects us, even from ourselves!  Each of the items the lampstand or menorah, the shewbread table, the Ark of the Covenant and all of the utensils would be made as described.  From the number of lights on the lampstand to the quality of the flour to be used in making the loaves of the shewbread, how many talents of gold were to used, what was to be placed in the ark gives the children of Israel specific directions.  Amongst all of these details we find something new.  That the ark was to contain His testimony.  This is what Yahweh has said and given to the people.  This is not Moses word, but the word that Yahweh gave to him to give to the people.  Under the Greek mindset it is often viewed as the law of Moses, that is an error.  These are the laws given to us the by King of the Universe--Yahweh.  We have discussed this week the importance of a personal name and when these changes are not stopped other alterations can occur.  Over time and progression of more changes, results in a final destination that is nowhere near the origin or original purpose.  Only with careful study, prayer and discussion with like-minded believers can this be puzzled out.  The most awesome thing about finding out more of the truth, which is the understanding that He alone affords us to receive, to better know Him in the timing that He purposed.  It was not until this time and season that this could be revealed in such a grand scale.   This return to the original and closer review, study and reading of scripture bears this all out!  Baruch ata Adonai!  To hear more of this teaching click here.
