Make Room

 

How did God help the Hebrews remember the teachings and experience of Sinai?

 

How do you keep the fire of Sinai alive?

 

How do you maintain the passion the farther you hike, the hotter it gets, the more tired we become?

Not for days,   or 40 Years,

          But FOREVER…

Two Parts

1.               Box: Acacia Wood overlaid with Gold…   Held the Tablets of the 10 Commandments

2.               The Mercy Seat:  Lid and Cherubim carved from a solid piece of Gold…

 

God lived between the Cherubim and spoke to Moses from there…

 

What is God trying to say from this sanctuary?

 

Exodus 25: 8 (NLT)

  Have the people of Israel build me a holy sanctuary so I can live among them.

 

1 Corinthians 3: 16 (ESV)

 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?

Exodus 25: 1    The Lord said to Moses

Exodus 30: 11  The Lord said to Moses

Exodus 30: 17  The Lord said to Moses

Exodus 30: 22  The Lord said to Moses

Exodus 30: 23  The Lord said to Moses

Exodus 31: 1    The Lord said to Moses

Exodus 31: 12  The Lord said to Moses

 

7 Times God spoke concerning the building of the Tabernacle…

7 times God spoke in the Creation Narrative…

 

Compare the 7th sayings:

Genesis 2: 2 & 3 (NLT)

    On the seventh day God had finished his work of creation, so he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation.

Exodus 31: 13 (NLT)

    Tell the people of Israel: ‘Be careful to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you from generation to generation. It is given so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy.

 

This is a New Creation…

Genesis:  And God saw…

Exodus:  And Moses saw…

Genesis:  And God saw that it was good…

Exodus:  And Moses saw that it was good…

Genesis:  All the work of creating was complete…

Exodus:  And Moses completed the work…

Genesis:  And God blessed all he had made…

Exodus:  And Moses blessed all THEY had made…
