Description
Scripture scholar Frances Hogan delves into the final section of the Tabernacle, a portable structure representing God's dwelling place among His people. She explores the deep symbolism behind the multiple layers of curtains, including white linen embroidered with cherubim, which signify divine purity and protection. These curtains symbolize God's desire to dwell with humanity and the necessity of holiness to enter His presence.
Hogan draws fascinating parallels between the Tabernacle and Christ's incarnation. The veils that concealed God's glory in the Tabernacle mirror the way Jesus' humanity concealed His divinity. She also highlights the significance of the temple veil tearing at Christ's death, symbolizing the removal of barriers between humanity and God.
The episode concludes with reflections on the outer court, where reconciliation between God and humanity took place. Hogan underscores the importance of personal union with God, echoing the Tabernacle's purpose as a dwelling place for the divine among His people.
