And having begun from Moses

Reason Number 9 for not studying the tabernacle--it is so Old Testament. According to some random trivia site I found on the internet, there are 593,493 words in the Old Testament and 181,253 words in the New. Each word is inspired. Many more inspired words in the Old Testament. Just because it is in the Old Testament is not a reason not to study it.

Not only is it Old Testament, it was in the Law. But, you may say, we are under the Law no longer (Rom 6:14); hasn’t it been nailed to the cross (Col 9:14)? Besides, wasn’t salvation in the Old Testament somehow based on the Law? Have you ever read Ps. 119? I know that you know that there is a reference to the Law, precepts and statute in nearly each verse. The Law refers to the first 5 books of the Bible. The tabernacle design and service were dictated by God in the Law. Precepts are all the Thou shalts and thou shalt nots in the Law. Did you know that 5 out of every 6 precepts have something to do with the tabernacle? So what was David referring to when he wrote Psalm 119? Maybe the same that Jesus was referring to on the road to Emmaus: And having begun from Moses … he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. Luke 24:27. Or after breaking bread with His disciples in Emmaus…these [are] the words which I spoke to you while I was yet with you, that all that is written concerning me in the law of Moses...must be fulfilled. Luke 24:44
