Israel at Mt. Sinai -->> The Tabernacle

In the 3rd month after the Exodus from Egypt the people camped at the base of Mt. Sinai. The Lord called Moses up to Him. They stayed there till Moses came down. He told them to now approach the mountain lest they die. Moses came down with the 10 commandments. There is so much you can really break down about the ten commandments, but I wont bother. I'll just list them.

You shall have no other god before Me.

You shall not make yourself a carved image.

You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Honor your father and your mother.

You shall not murder.

You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not steal.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

You shall not covet what your neighbor has.

Now the people were afraid of God's presence and told Moses to converse with God and they would just come to him. The thunder and lightning and everything surrounding the mountain made the fearful. The Lord laid out the law of the Alter to Moses.

Exodus 19-20 - 

The Lord started laying out the laws concerning the ways He expects His children to be. The Law concerning servants, the Law concerning violence, Animal control Laws, Responsibility for property, Moral and ceremonial principles, Justice for all, the Law of Sabbaths. He laid out the Three annual feast they are to follow, 1) the feast of unleavened bread 2) the feast of harvest 3) the feast of ingathering all three of these times in a year all the males shall appear before God. The Angel of the Lord was sent to help fulfill the promises of God to the children of Israel. The people of the Lands they were promised would be moved out little by little until Israel multiplied and increased to take the land. They are not to allow them to come into their land or to share in their idols or their ways, lest the Israelites be led astray. 

Exodus 21-23 -

Moses and Israel affirms the covenant with God. Moses listened to God and rose early and went up the mountain to receive the tablets with the laws on written on them. He took Joshua with him. The Lord requested offerings from all who would give it. Then the Lord instructed them to make an arc where He could reside among them. He instructed them to build a table for show-bread, then He gave them all the figures for building the tabernacle. Now this is another one that could be really dug into to receive all the Lord has to show us in this portion of scripture. So, the children of Israel gave and gave to the needs of the Lord to build all He instructed them. They build all as instructed. 

Exodus 24-2 -

I look to learn more and more about the tabernacle. I see and feel that there is so much more the Lord has for me to learn here. I look forward to the teaching He has for me here. 

Lord I thank you for your commandments and for the learning of the tabernacle. I know this was all a process to get to where you want us to get too, and I know that we are still not quite there yet but we are about to arise. I know it's all a growth for each of us to learn the path of righteousness to become more Christlike in all our ways. I wish to continually be filled with your presence and your blessing to continually be poured over me. I receive openly all you have for me Father. I welcome all you have for me to receive and all you have for me to learn. I give you all the honor praise and glory I have in me Father, in the loving beautiful humble gracious precious name of Christ Jesus, Amen!
