The Tabernacle: The Temple of the Tabernacle

Bible Reading:  Revelation 15

Key Verse: Verse 5 – “And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:”

Key Words: the temple of the tabernacle

Lehman Strauss says that the temple of the Tabernacle is the Holy of Holies where the Ark of the Testimony was kept.  This is also God’s dwelling place where He will be approached and worshipped and from where He will render His judgments.  (Notice this tabernacle is not on earth but in heaven: verse 5.)

I love Judge Judy, one of the TV court judges.  She is my girl.  Every case starts with two people who are at odds.  They can’t get together.  They cannot fix their problem.  There are lots of different problems that make it into Judge Judy’s court.  Both the plaintiff and the defendant lay out their complaints and concerns.  Judge Judy hears their arguments and then makes a judgment.  Everyone understands that once Judge Judy rules, the participants will abide by her ruling.

Now, everybody doesn’t leave Judge Judy’s courtroom happy.  But her responsibility is to apply the law to the case, not to make the courtroom participants feel good.

God’s goal is not to make everyone happy.  In fact, He gets quite a few complaints!  The bottom line, however, is that God is the ultimate judge.  His Word is final.
