The document discusses the Tabernacle of Moses and the Tabernacle of David. It notes that the Tabernacle of Moses contained the Ark of the Covenant and was where sacrifices were performed, while the Tabernacle of David had no veil and allowed free access to Israelites and some gentiles. It then details the history of the Ark of the Covenant, including its capture by Philistines and eventual return. David desired the Ark's presence and set up a tent for it, though Uzza's death upon touching the Ark showed more was needed. The Ark was kept safely by Obed-edom and then brought to Jerusalem by David to signify the Tabernacle of David.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Renewed in Grace
3. THE TABERNACLE OF MOSES
• The Tabernacle contained the Ark of
the Covenant on which the presence of
God rested inside the Holy of Holies, a
place only the High Priest could enter.
• It was where the congregation
gathered and where the priests
performed the sacrifices on behalf of
Israel. Illegitimate children were
forbidden (Deuteronomy 23:2).
4. THE
TABERNACLE
OF DAVID
THERE WAS NO VAIL IN
THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID.
FREE ACCESS TO ISRAELITES.
SOME FREE ACCESS TO
GENTILES.
THE BLESSING OF BEING A
KEEPER OF THE TABERNACLE.
6. PLACES WHERE THE
TABERNACLE OF MOSES WAS SETTLED
• An undefiled place, and clean in the
eyes of the Lord needed to be
found, so the Tabernacle could be
set on.
• An strategic site where the tribes
could easily come to meet and
worship the Lord.
• The expansion of the conquering
territory was to be considered.
• GILGAL meaning “circle” was the
first place where the Tabernacle was
set up, it was near Jericho. (Joshua
4:19-20)
• 12 stones taken from the bottom of
the Jordan were set in a large circle.
• The Tabernacle stayed there for a
period of 7 years.
7.
8. SHILOH was the second place where
the tabernacle was moved
• Shiloh was one of the most sacred of the
Hebrew sanctuaries.
• The ark of the covenant, which was at Gilgal
while the conquest advanced, was brought
here.
• The Tabernacle was kept at Shiloh from the
last days of Joshua to the time of Samuel.
• It was here the Hebrew conqueror divided
among the tribes the portion of the west
Jordan region which had not been already
allotted.
9.
10. PHILISTINES
CAPTURE THE ARK
OF THE COVENANT
• The ungodly conduct of the
priests, sons of Eli,
occasioned the loss of the
ark of the covenant.
• at some time it had been
carried into battle against
the Philistines, and was
captured.
• Jeremiah 7:12 puts as a
striking example of divine
indignation.
11. THE PHILISTINE CAPTURE THE
ARK OF THE LORD
• 1 Samuel 4,
• Before the battle of Apheck, the Ark had been settled at the ancient sanctuary
of Shiloh,.
• At Apheck Israel was defeated, about 4,000 people killed in the field.
• The Ark was brought out by the Israelites in hope of victory in the war.
• The Israelites suffered a second defeat; The sons of the High Priest Eli, Hophni and
Phinehas were killed and the ark was captured.
• On hearing this devastating news, Eli falls off his chair and died.
• Phinehas’ wife died during childbirth as she heard the news, she gives birth to
Ichabod, which means "Where is the glory?"
12. THE GLORY OF THE LORD DEPARTED
• Ichabod was born after his father's death.
• His mother gave him this name on her death-bed to indicate that the "glory (had)
departed from Israel”, "Glory is exiled from Israel,"
• Other meanings of the name:
• Where is the glory?
• The Glory has departed.
• Inglorious.
• There is a very interesting commentary by Theologian Peter Leithart saying Israel
deserved to go into exile, but the ark did so instead: "Yahweh went into exile, taking
on the curse of the covenant for His people, and while in exile He fought for them
and defeated the gods of Philistia."
13. THE PLAGUE CAUSED BY "YAHWEH'S HAND"
• 1 Samuel 5 and 6, relates how the Philistines have to move the Ark to several parts
of their territory, as tumours afflicted the people in each town to which it was taken.
• First Ashdod, then Gath, then Ekron.
• The severity of the punishments was increased as we can see through the passage,
from verses 6 to 12.
• Tumours in Ashdod (vv. 6-8),
• Extensive tumours and panic in Gath, (v 9,10a)
• Deadly destruction and panic in Ekron and tumours on those who did not die and
deathly panic in Ekron, (vv. 10b-12).
14. PHILISTINE GOD DAGON DEFEATED
• In Ashdod, when the Ark was placed
in the temple of Dagon, the next
morning Dagon was
found prostrate in front of the Ark.
• Once the statue of Dagon was
restored to its place, it was again
found prostrate the next morning,
and this time its head and hands
had also been broken off.
15. THE PHILISTINES
RETURN THE ARK
• The ark brought plagues, and
humiliated the gods of the Philistines.
• The Philistines diviners advised to
make a guilt offering of five golden
tumors and five gold mice
(representing the five Philistine rulers).
• They then placed the gold along with
the ark on a cart drawn by two cows,
who headed straight for Israel and did
not waver.
• The Ark returned with treasure, just as
when Israel was leaving Egypt. (1
Samuel 6:6)
16. THE ARK STOPS AT BETH SHEMESH
1 SAMUEL 6:13-16 NKJV
• Bet Shemesh means “house of the sun” pagan worship
• 13 Now the people of Beth Shemesh were harvesting their wheat in the valley,
and when they looked up and saw the ark, they rejoiced at the sight. 14 The
cart came to the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh, and there it stopped
beside a large rock. The people chopped up the wood of the cart and
sacrificed the cows as a burnt offering to the LORD. 15 The Levites took down
the ark of the LORD, together with the chest containing the gold objects, and
placed them on the large rock. On that day the people of Beth
Shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices to the LORD. 16 The five
rulers of the Philistines saw all this and then returned that same day to Ekron.
17. 1 SAMUEL 6:19 NKJV
• 19 Then He struck the men of Beth Shemesh, because they had
looked into the ark of the LORD. [d]He struck fifty thousand and
seventy men of the people, and the people lamented because
the LORD had struck the people with a great slaughter.
• They looked into the Ark of the Lord.
• Inappropriate way. Unworthy of touching or looking into it.
• Sinful behaviour.
18. 1 SAMUEL 6:20 NKJV
• 20 And the men of Beth Shemesh said, “Who is able to stand
before this holy LORD God? And to whom shall it go up from
us?” 21 So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath
Jearim, saying, “The Philistines have brought back the ark of
the LORD; come down and take it up with you.”
• They disqualified themselves as not being able to stand before the Holy God
of Israel.
• They didn’t repent and turned away from their doings.
• They took the easiest way: Send the Ark away.
19. 1 SAMUEL 7:1 (NKJV)
• 7 Then the men of Kirjath Jearim came and took the ark of
the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill,
and consecrated Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.
• The Ark stayed in the house of Abinadab 92 years.
• The bible says nothing about activities in this place.
• Israel didn’t care any more for God’s presence and glory.
21. THE TABERNACLE WAS SAVED
• Probably Samuel and those with him succeeded in dismantling the structure and
transporting it out of harm's way.
• He re-erected the Tabernacle on its original site at Gilgal, without the Ark of the
Covenant, and there it remained for something like fifty years into the reign of
Saul.
• At Gilgal Samuel offered sacrifices when Saul was appointment as king. At
Gilgal Saul was formally crowned king over Israel (I Sam.10.8; 11.15).
• The High Priesthood was restored to the legal line of Eleazar in the person of
Ahitub, father of the Zadok of David's time.
• Because the absence of the Ark, the Day of Atonement ritual could not be
performed.
23. • After been revoked by Samuel, Saul dismissed Ahitub and moved the Tabernacle
to Nob, on the north side of Jerusalem.
• He appointed as High Priest, Ahimelech, son of another Ahitub, a grandson of Eli,
(1 Sam. 14.3).
• Saul, after knowing that David received the bread from Ahimelech, who was then
on the run from Saul, sent men to exterminate the entire priesthood of Nod.
• Abiathar son of Ahimelech alone escaped, and removed the Tabernacle to his own
own home town of Gibeon (1 Sam. 22.9-23). Where stays for 58 years.
• When, later on, David became king of all Israel, the Tabernacle, complete with the
altar of burnt-offering but without the Ark, was standing at Gibeon. Zadok, of
line of Eleazar, was its priest (1 Chron.16.39; 21.29).
• The Tabernacle settle here throughout the reign of David, and until the accession of
Solomon (1 Kings 3.4;2 Chron.1.3-15).
25. DAVID DESIRES TO BE CLOSE TO THE LORD
• When David became King, the Ark of the Covenant was at Kiriath-jearim (2
Samuel 6).
• It had been originally set up at Shiloh in he Tabernacle, but after the Philistines
destroyed Shiloh and temporarily captured the ark of the Covenant (1 Samuel 4:1, 1
Samuel 6:1-2, 1 Samuel 7:1), the Ark was moved to Kiriath-jearim.
• After he became king, David decided to move the Ark of the Covenant from Kiriath-
jearim close to his house.
• He moved to a tent that he has set it for this purpose. This tent will become known
as the Tabernacle of David (1 Chronicles 16).
26. WHY DAVID MOVE THE ARK
TO HIS TENT AND NOT TO
THE TABERNACLE OF
MOSSES?
27. DESIRE TO BE IN HIS PRESENCE
• David deeply desired to be in God’s presence, so he decided to move the Ark from
the house of Abinadab in Kirjath Jearim, not into the Tabernacle of Moses
which was at Gibeon, but to a different location and different home.
• In spite of the dead of one of the sons of Abinadab, this project had God’s approval.
(2 Samuel 6:6-7)
28. UZZA’S DEATH
• As soon as his hand touched the Ark of the Covenant, he was immediately struck
dead by the Presence of God.
• No doubt at this moment David thought he had made a huge mistake moving the
Ark from Abinadab’s house. He may have even thought it wasn’t God’s will.
• They quickly arranged to store the Ark at the farm of Obed-edom. He was
a Gittite — a gentile.
• Probably fearing for their lives, David and his entourage headed back to Jerusalem.
29. THE ARK RESTS AT A GENTILE FARMER
• The Ark sat at the farm for three months.
• God blessed this gentile farmer. It was so noticeable that the news even
reached King David at his palace. It was a prelude to God’s prophetic
promise that gentiles would pour into the Kingdom of God through the
Tabernacle of David.
• God was not angered by the Ark being moved out from that place. If He was,
Obed-edom would have been cursed, not blessed.
• King David realized his plan to set up the Ark in Jerusalem was God’s will, but
that it needed to be done properly.
30. 2 SAMUEL 6:16-19 NASV
• 16 Then it happened as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David that Michal
the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and
dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.17 So they brought in
the ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent which David had
pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before
the Lord. 18 When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace
offering, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. 19 Further, he
distributed to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, both to men and women,
a cake of bread and one of dates and one of raisins to each one. Then all the people
departed each to his house.
31. A DIFFERENT TYPE OF WORSHIP
• At David’s tabernacle, the people:
• Made sacrifices of praise (instead of animal sacrifices) to God (Psalm 27:6).
• Clapped their hands (Psalm 47:1).
• Lifted their hands in worship (Psalm 134).
• Shouted (Psalm 47:1, 5).
• Danced (2 Samuel 6:16; Psalm 149:3).
• Sought the Lord (1 Chronicles 16:10-11), and
• Played their instruments (1 Chronicles 23:5; Psalm 47:5; Psalm 149:3).
• They had glory times in God’s presence.
32. FREE ACCESS TO GOD’S PRESENCE
• At the Tabernacle of David, King David had full, free access to God’s Presence.
• Further, there was no veil separating people from the Ark of the Covenant, as there
was in Moses’s tabernacle.
• Everyone could come before God’s Presence at this simple tent.
• Besides these expressions of worship, the psalmists also wrote several time of
gentiles coming into the Kingdom of God. (Psalm 18:49; Psalm 117:1; Psalm 47:8-9).
• They would have the same access to God’s presence as the Jews.
33. • The Tabernacle of David existed for a brief time between the Tabernacle of Moses
and the Temple that David’s son Solomon constructed. After the temple was
completed, the priests transported the Ark of the Covenant from David’s tent into
the Temple’s Holy of Holies and the Glory of God fell (2 Chronicles 5:14).
• But after the temple’s construction, the prophet Amos talked about the restoration
of
• David’s Tabernacle,
• not the Tabernacle of Moses
• or even the Temple — but rather David’s small tent.
34. AMOS 9:11-12 NASV
• 1 “In that day I will raise up the fallen booth [Tabernacle] of David,
And wall up its breaches;
I will also raise up its ruins
And rebuild it as in the days of old;
12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom
And all the nations who are called by My name,”
Declares the Lord who does this.
35. • The Tabernacle of David was a symbol or foreshadow of the church. In the Book of
Hebrews, we are told to come boldly into the Throne Room of God (Hebrews
Because of the redeeming work of Jesus, we have full access to God’s presence,
like they did in the Tabernacle of David.
• The New Testament writers described Jesus as head of the Church
The prophet Isaiah described this in a slightly different way. He said the Messiah
would rule from the “tent of David” (Isaiah 16:5).
36. • The Tabernacle of Moses had its purpose.
• It showed the perfection needed to come before the Presence of God. No sin. No
illegitimacy.
• But the Tabernacle of David showed the mercy of God. He was going to make a
so all would have equal access to God’s Presence because of Jesus’ cleansing
(1 John 1:7).
• Illegitimate sons would become “children of God” (2 Corinthians 6:18).
• Galatians 3:26 NASV
• 26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus
