Exodus 36:8 And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.
Praise the Lord!!
Today we will meditate upon the curtains of the tabernacle.
In old testament there was a specific reason to make curtains of the said colour.
Blue yarn symbolizes the baptism of Jesus. Which makes you righteous in the eyes of God. Therefore, blue yarn, the baptism of Jesus, is the most essential part of the Word of salvation.
Scarlet yarn symbolizes the blood of Jesus. All your sins, sickness, infirmities are washed in His Blood.
Purple yarn symbolizes His Divinity-the status of Jesus as King and God. The three colours of yarn were necessary for our faiths in Jesus and His salvation.
So we have curtain which is symbolic to Jesus. But why didn't God use a single curtain to cover the tabernacle? Why were curtains coupled together? Holy Spirit shows an hidden meaning.
We are the tabernacle of God.( Hebrews 9:11) so according to new testament whenever two or three gather together Lord is in midst of them. ( Matthew 18:20)
Significance of dwelling in tabernacle.
1. There is safety in his tabernacle. (Psalms 4:8)
2. Goodness and mercy shall follow you wherever you go. (Psalms 23:6)
3. You will never worry over petty matters. ( Psalms 25:13)
4. You will never lack any good thing. (Psalms 37:3)
5. You will be his inheritance. (Psalms 37:29)
Who would dwell in his tabernacle?
Psalm 15 says.
1. One who walks uprightly.
2. One who speaks truth in his heart.
3. One who doesn't gossip about other.
4. One who hates evil in all form.
5. One who doesn't earn money by dishonest means.
Saints, we are living in end times. Let's mend our ways and dwell in his tabernacle with love, forgiving one another in Christ.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, for too long I’ve kept you out of my life. I know that I am a sinner and that I cannot save myself. No longer will I close the door when I hear you knocking. By faith I gratefully receive your gift of salvation. I am ready to trust you as my Lord and Savior. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for coming to earth. I believe you are the Son of God who died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead on the third day. Thank you for bearing my sins and giving me the gift of eternal life. I believe your words are true. Come into my heart, Lord Jesus, and be my Savior. Amen.
