5. Introduction
• The CONCEPT of a MODEL employs the MIND to
understand a TYPE or DESIGN of a product,
project, or set of plans. Often a company may
issue a PROTOTYPE; especially when a product
is the FIRST of its KIND. The word “PROTOTYPE”
means “an ORIGINAL or FIRST MODEL of
something from which OTHER FORMS are copied
or developed; someone or something that has the
TYPICAL QUALITIES of a PARTICULAR GROUP,
kind, etc.; a FIRST or early EXAMPLE that is used
as a MODEL for what comes later; a FIRST FULL-
SCALE and usually FUNCTIONAL FORM of a
NEW TYPE or DESIGN of a product, project,
construction” (Merriam Webster).

6. Introduction
• The idea of a PROTOTYPE is to establish a
MODEL or PATTERN for OTHER FORMS to
COPY or DUPLICATE. The man ADAM was a
PROTOTYPE (Genesis 1:26-28; 2:7-8,15-25). All
of MANKIND was to DUPLICATE his behavior in
and on earth. Sadly, his SIN resulted in a
MALFUNCTION (the prefix “mal” [Latin “malus”]
means “bad, abnormal, inadequate”) of the
designed system. This MALFUNCTION spread
like a VIRUS and CORRUPTED the human race.
This required an ANTI-VIRAL PRODUCT that
could REMOVE the VIRUS of SIN and RESTORE
the PROTOTYPE to its original FUNCTION.

7. Introduction
• The TABERNACLE was also a PROTOYPE
(Exodus 25:8-9). It was the HOUSE of GOD,
the DWELLING PLACE of the MOST HIGH on
the earth. It housed the PRESENCE and
GLORY of the LORD God. It was the
MEETING PLACE for GOD and MAN (v. 22).
Sadly, it was DEFILED by the SIN of MAN
(Leviticus 10:1-20; 1 Samuel 2:12-17,22-37;
4:1-22; 7:1-2). This MALFUNCTION (bad,
abnormal, inadequate) CORRUPTED the
original FUNCTION of the existence. Like
ADAM, the TABERNACLE needed an ANTI-
VIRAL PRODUCT to CLEANSE and REMOVE
its VIRUS.

8. Introduction
• John 3:16 states, “For God so loved the world, that
He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in Him should not perish, but have
everlasting life”. The LORD JESUS Christ is the
PERFECT PROTOTYPE of MAN and the
TABERNACLE. He is the WORD made FLESH
(John 1:1,14). A word is the expression of an IDEA,
a THOUGHT, an IMAGE in the mind of a person. It
reveals the THOUGHT of the mind. As THE WORD,
JESUS Christ is the PERFECT EXPRESSION, the
PATTERN, the IMAGE of God. Note WORDS are
ABSTRACT CONCEPTS; they lack the PHYSICAL
MODEL of REALITY. The LORD JESUS Christ is
the WORD made FLESH. He is the PERFECT
PROTOTYPE of MAN and the TABERNACLE.

9. Introduction
• Hebrews 7:16 states JESUS possesses “the
power of an indestructible life”. “This makes
JESUS the guarantor of a better covenant” (v.
22). Remember “the wages of sin is death”
(Romans 6:23); however, the SINLESS LIFE of
JESUS is defined by His INDESTRUCTIBLE
LIFE. This makes Him the PERFECT
PROTOTYPE of MAN. As the PERFECT
PROTOTYPE of the TABERNACLE, JESUS
housed the GLORY of GOD and was the MEANS
of the WORD of GOD unto men (John 1:14). He
is the MEETING PLACE for WORSHIP. He is the
revelation of the PROPHET, PRIEST, and KING
in the TABERNACLE of DAVID.

44. The Ultimate
Prototype

45. Conclusion
• The TABERNACLE of DAVID is an OLD
TESTAMENT PROTOTYPE for what the NEW
TESTAMENT CHURCH should and function like. In
this Tabernacle, there were PRIESTS, PRAISE, and
the PRESENCE of the LORD. The OPERATION of
the PROPHET was effective because of the
PRESENCE; and the AUTHORITY and WISDOM of
the KING was SOUND and DISTINCT because of
the PRESENCE. The same should be true today.
These should characterize the modern Body of
Christ. Every BELIEVER has the ABILITY to
ACCESS and RELEASE the PRESENCE of the
LORD- individually, corporately, congregationally,
regionally, and even globally.
