What does the tabernacle's work of propitiation include?
The tabernacle's work of propitiation includes Christ's work as high priest, the shed blood of the sacrifice, and His interceding force in the Holy of Holies. Every aspect of the tabernacle pictured the salvation Christ accomplished at the cross, and this propitiation extends to the sins of the whole world.
Les explains that every single aspect of that tabernacle—its composition, the gold, the silver, the stones, and all the rest—was a picture of the work of salvation Christ accomplished at the cross, and he calls that whole work propitiation. Everything seen in the tabernacle is the work of propitiation, and that included Christ's work as high priest, the shed blood of the sacrifice, and His interceding force in the Holy of Holies. Les further notes this work is not for ours only, but God has done it for the sins of the whole world. He contrasts this with the idea that Christ died only for the believer, saying his Bible says Christ died for everyone; not everyone will be saved because not everyone will appropriate it, but the potential is there.
