What does the white linen fence around the tabernacle represent?
The white linen fence around the tabernacle depicts the very righteousness of Christ and the very righteousness of God. Standing nine feet tall, it kept the common person from looking in on the things of God, illustrating that only those in Christ can appreciate them.
Les teaches that the white linen fence depicted the very righteousness of Christ and the very righteousness of God. It stood nine feet tall, so the common person could not look in on the things of God, and that remains true. The outsider has no interest in these things; only as a person becomes in Christ can he begin to appreciate them. The fence was pure white linen, and the tabernacle enclosure was large—150 feet long and 75 feet wide, half the length of a football field.
