We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was raised bodily and that He ascended to Heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate (Acts 1:9-10; Hebrews 9:24, 7:25; Romans 8:34; I John 2:1-2).

To begin with the big picture, the Tabernacle was the dwelling place of God among his people (Exodus 25:8). In fact, the word ‘tabernacle’ means ‘dwelling’. The Tabernacle was neither the first nor the last dwelling place of God in the Bible. It is part of a series of divine sanctuaries that progressively reveal God’s way of being present with his ...
At the centre of the Tabernacle, in the Most Holy Place, sat the Ark of the Covenant. This was an ornate golden box with a solid-gold cover on it. This cover, or ‘mercy seat’, had two cherubim on it overshadowing the centre (Exodus 20:17-22). Any ancient person would have expected an idol figure of Israel’s God to appear here. It was the normal way...
God’s holiness means that he is utterly pure. Holiness and uncleanliness are as incompatible as light and darkness: they literally cannot occupy the same space.

If from one perspective the Tabernacle is Eden, from another it is a model of creation as a whole. When you enter the courtyard you are in the inhabitable world of people, land animals, and the sea (cf. Genesis 1:10). Solomon’s temple would make this last point more explicit by labelling the bronze water basin the ‘sea’ (1 Kings 7:23-26). Once you ...
The Book of Ezra begins with a decree from King Cyrus of Persia, allowing the Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple that had been destroyed by the Babylonians in 587 BC (Ezra 1:2-4). The introduction to this decree specifies when it was proclaimed: “In the first year of King Cyrus” (539-538 BC, shortly after the Persian defeat ...
