Reason Number 2 that the tabernacle is not studied is because Jesus is now our high priest. What was it that set the high priest apart from the regular run-of-the-mill priest? What was common between them (the first ones, anyway)? Their blood. The first high priest was Aaron and the first priests were his four sons (Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar). Now Jesus is our high priest and we (believers) are priests. What do we have in common? The blood.
Having therefore, brethren, boldness for entering into the [holy of] holies by the blood of Jesus the new and living way which he has dedicated for us through the veil, that is, his flesh, and [having] a great priest over the house of God, let us approach with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, sprinkled as to our hearts from a wicked conscience, and washed as to our body with pure water. Heb. 10:19-22
