what does the bible say?
The "tent of meeting," a mobile tabernacle built during Israel's forty-year wilderness journey, was designed by God and constructed under the leadership of Bezalel and Oholiab. This sacred space, assembled and maintained by the Levites, highlighted God's desire to dwell among His people and be accessible to them. In the New Testament, Hebrews contrasts this tent with Christ's ultimate sacrifice, showing Jesus as the perfect High Priest who secures eternal redemption. This fulfillment emphasizes God's intimate commitment to be near us, now realized through Jesus Christ. Reflecting on this, we are reminded of God's ongoing desire to be present in our lives, encouraging a deep and personal relationship with Him.
