The treasures to be found in the study of the Tabernacle are far too numerous for us to be exhaustive in this simple study. We hope only to wet your appetite and plant a desire within you to study the Word of God deeper. Once you get a basic grasp of the Old Testament types, the Bible becomes more colorful, more meaningful, more ALIVE! These treasure lie just beneath the surface ready to reward the search of all who desire to learn what God yearns to reveal to us of Himself through these studies. We hope these will be a blessing to you.
