Where does the Bible start when describing the tabernacle?
The Bible starts with the Ark of the Covenant when describing the tabernacle, because everything from God's point of view moves from Him out to mankind. The order is then reversed to move from the outer court inward to the Ark.
The teaching explains that Scripture begins with the Ark of the Covenant because everything from God's point of view moves from Him out to mankind. However, the speaker then reverses the order, starting from the outer court and ending at the Ark. He notes that every detail of the tabernacle is a picture of Christ and His work of the cross. The outer fence was pure white linen, with posts and boards of wood covered with gold, and the tabernacle was soon moved as Israel headed toward the promised land.
