What does the inward beauty of the tabernacle picture for believers?
It pictures the beauty and loveliness that believers see when they come into the body of Christ and are in Christ—a beauty the world knows nothing of. The tabernacle’s inward glory intricately foreshadows Christ, illustrating the spiritual sight granted to those in Him.
Les explains that the tabernacle’s beauty was seen from the inside, not the outside—the light from the seven candles reflecting off the gold, white linen, colors, and cherubim was beautiful beyond description. He likens that inward beauty to believers who come into the body of Christ: when they are in Christ, they see a beauty and loveliness that the world knows nothing of. This inward sanctuary glory is intricately a picture of Christ.
