What was the earthly tabernacle like?
The earthly tabernacle was beautiful and functional, able to be taken down and moved quickly and set up again. It did everything the people needed, yet it was patterned after a more perfect heavenly reality, and it served as the pattern for what Moses built in the wilderness.
Les explains that the earthly tabernacle was beautiful and functional. It could be taken down and moved at the drop of a hat, then set up again, and it did everything the people needed. However, it was patterned after something in heaven that was more perfect. That heavenly reality was the pattern for what Moses built in the wilderness. So the earthly tabernacle was good, but it was compared to that which is far better.
