"AND HE ASSEMBLED"
(Weekly Reading>>Exodus 35:1-38:20, 1 Kings 7:13-26, Hebrews 9:1-14)
The Outer Court - Exodus 38:9-20
Yahweh has always desired to dwell among His people, that is why he revealed Himself at Mt. Sinai and when He, as the Word, became flesh and dwelled among us (John 1:14).
The Outer Court is the place where the soul is purified. We learn that the furnishings of the Brazen Altar and Laver illustrate the process of this cleansing. The entrance into the tabernacle was through Yeshua who called himself the Gate (John 10:7). Yeshua also said, “ I am The Way, The Truth and The Life ” (John 14:6). The Way is the name of the first gate or entrance leading to the Outer Court of the tabernacle. The Truth is the entrance into the tabernacle and the first room called the Holy Place, and the Life is the entrance into the Most Holy Place/the Holy of Holies. The Way, the Truth and the Life is also a Hebrew idiom for the Torah – The Gospel . Yeshua was saying He, the Living Word, was and is the Tabernacle. Through the design of the Tabernacle Yeshua is showing us a visual picture of Himself and what the walk of redemption looks like. For those who take hold of His Gospel - it is a Tree of Life!
Philippians 3:8-12 Paul said, “What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Yeshua ha Mashiach, the Messiah, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Yeshua and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the Torah, but that which is through faith/emunah in Yeshua–the righteousness/tzedakah that comes from Yahweh and is by faith/emunah . I want to know Yeshua and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which the Messiah/Yeshua ha Mashiach , took hold of me.

Ezekiel 43:10-12 “Son of man, describe the temple to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern. And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the temple and its arrangement, its exits and its entrances, its entire design and all its ordinances, all its forms and all its laws. Write it down in their sight, so that they may keep its whole design and all its ordinances, and perform them. This is the law of the temple: The whole area surrounding the mountaintop is most holy. Behold, this is the law of the temple.”
