Those are the top ten reasons why the tabernacle is not studied, now I would like to share the top ten reasons why the tabernacle should be studied. Here, again, this is personal opinion and there may be some overlap between the two lists.
The number 10 reason that the tabernacle should be studied is because there are a total of 50 chapters of the Bible that describe the design, construction and the service in the tabernacle. Fifty chapters! The offering for the building materials begins in the 25th chapter of the second book of the Bible, Exodus. Most of the rest of the book has to do with the design and construction of the structure and its furniture. The next book, Leviticus, begins with Jehovah speaking to Moses from the freshly completed tabernacle and most of that book deals with the service in the tabernacle. There are a handful of chapters in the books of Numbers, Deuteronomy and Hebrews that round out the 50.
We know the story of creation. The creation story is covered in just 2 chapters. We know the Christmas story. The birth of Christ takes up less than 2 ½ chapters. We know the life of Joseph. The story of Joseph takes up about 13 chapters. Or how about the book of Daniel? Twelve chapters. What do we know about the tabernacle?
Fifty chapters is a lot of Bible page real estate. If it is that important to God, then maybe it should be important to us and we should study it.
