The document provides details about the layout and construction of the tabernacle that God instructed Moses to build for the Israelites. It describes the inner structure divided into the Holy Place and Holy of Holies covered by animal skin and linen curtains, as well as the outer courtyard surrounded by a linen fence with a single entry gate facing east. God dwelt among his people in the tabernacle, which prefigured Jesus Christ who came to "tabernacle" or dwell among mankind according to the gospel of John.
First stage, the temple rebuilt by Zerubbabel, the Maccabees and them Herod the King. Place where Jesus taught and performed signs, healings and miracles.
John 1:14 Christ became flesh for us, He became poor for us, he became obedient to the point of death for us, He became sin for us, He became the author of eternal salvation for us, He became the firstfruits of those who had died for us, He became the chief cornerstone for us, He became wisdom from God for us. He became all of these things for us so that we might become a new creation for Him.

Looking at the overview of the bible, based on research from Greg Koukl of Stand to Reason in his "The Bible Fast Forward" series. This covers the main theme of the Bible, as well as the 12 major events of the Old Testament.
A lecture I gave in preparation for Foundation Day. It mainly focuses on Moses and Joshua's courses looking at the parallels and challenges between that time and this time. Also looking at some issues in the period of the monarchy and Temple. There is an accompanying video http://www.ustream.tv/channel/ffwpu-seminars?utm_source=live+Ustream+link+for+foundation+day+workshop+-+pastor%27s+update&utm_campaign=19th+january+2013&utm_medium=socialshare#/recorded/28627787
This is a study of Jesus as the glory of His people. He was the glory of God coming to bless Israel with even greater light than that which enlightened the Gentiles.
A beginner’s guide to understanding the Bible. This study is intended to show how the Old Testament fits together. For more information please check out my blog. www.thoughtsfromeb.wordpress.com
The Prophets and prophecies are recorded through out the Bible from genesis to Revelation: from Noah, to King David, from John the Baptist to Jesus to the lesser known prophets in the early church. The prophets communicate God's messages different ages and can have multiple fulfillments.

Constable, “This chapter also reveals David's viewpoint on God and what resulted from it."In light of . . . Akkadian and Phoenician parallels . . . we are in a position to understand
2 Samuel 6 as the record of a historically unique cultic event, viz., the ritual dedication of the City of David as the new religious and political capital of the Israelites, the people of Yahweh. The purpose of the ceremony was the sanctification of the City of David for the installation of the ark in the hope that Yahweh's presence would assure the success of David's government and the welfare of the people.
3. What is the Tabernacle?
A visual dwelling
Tabernacle means “tent,” “place of dwelling” or “sanctuary.” It was a sacred place where God chose
to meet His people, the Israelites, during the 40 years they wandered in the desert under Moses’
leadership. It was the place where the leaders and people came together to worship and offer
sacrifices.
The tabernacle was first erected in the wilderness exactly one year after the Passover when the
Israelites were freed from their Egyptian slavery (circa 1450 B.C.). It was a mobile tent with portable
furniture that the people traveled with and set up wherever they pitched camp. The tabernacle would
be in the center of the camp, and the 12 tribes of Israel would set up their tents around it according to
tribe.
“…make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them.” (Exodus 25:8)
“Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God. They will know that I am the Lord their
God, who brought them out of Egypt so that I might dwell among them.” (Exodus 29:45-46)
And so God dwelled among His people in the tabernacle in the wilderness. He appeared as a pillar of
cloud over the tabernacle by day and a pillar of fire by night in the sight of all Israel. The people
would not set out on their journey unless the cloud lifted. It was an unmistakably powerful visual
statement indicating God’s presence among them.
God knew that the Israelites needed visual evidence of His presence. When Moses went up to Mount
Sinai for 40 days and the people did not see or hear from him, they grew impatient and gathered their
gold to form a golden calf that they worshipped in place of God. After ten generations of living in
Egypt, it was not surprising that the Israelites mimicked the Egyptians in fashioning a visual idol of
their own. This act of disobedience demonstrated their need to follow and worship a God who was
visually tangible. God’s provision of a tabernacle — itself a splendor to behold — not only allowed
the people to sense His presence, but also to see their leader go in to meet with God in a concrete
place and not disappear up a mountain.
A lesson of unquestionable authority
The tabernacle was more than just a dwelling place. All the components of the tabernacle were part of
an intricate visual aid to illustrate God's relationship with His people. One aspect of this relationship
was God’s requirement for complete obedience. God told Moses to create the tabernacle exactly the
way He commanded. It was not to stray from God’s blueprint.
“Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you.” (Exodus 25:9)
To this end, God gave very specific instructions about the size of each component and the materials
the Israelites were to use, as we will see in the following sections of this discussion. These seemingly
cumbersome rules were not intended to burden the people, but to show God’s unquestionable
authority and holiness, and emphasize that people could only come to God on God’s terms, not on
