Coachlight Bible Study – Exodus Lesson 21 – Exodus 25:8 - 30
The Bread Of Life
John 6:31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
John 6:32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
John 6:33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
John 6:34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
God’s heart desire from eternity, and apparently the reason He created heaven and earth was to tabernacle, or dwell with His people. God conversed with Adam in the garden until sin came about. Since then, a sinful man can not approach a holy God.

As God called Moses from the fire that did not consume the bush on Mt. Sinai, Moses was being trained on the holiness of God. Moses was not to approach God’s presence too closely, and he was to remove his shoes because the ground was holy. The ground was holy because the presence of a holy God was there.
God trained the Israelites upon reaching Mt. Sinai after delivering them from Egypt on this same idea. They had two days to sanctify themselves, and Moses had to put up a barrier around the mountain so that beasts or people wouldn’t die out of ignorance. This teaching was all in preparation for the building of a Tabernacle, so God can dwell with His people:
Exodus 25:8 And let them make me a sanctuary <04720>; that I may dwell <07931> among <08432> them.

This dwelling of God with His people was a type of God dwelling with His people in our age. Today God dwells in those who are in Christ, their bodies are a living tabernacle or temple of the holy God:
I Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
I Corinthians 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
I Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
These human ‘temples’ of God need to be a holy place in which God can dwell. The Bible doesn’t leave us with a task that is impossible, but teaches us how to be proper ‘temples’ in which God can dwell. This is called ‘Walking In The Spirit’. Girding up the loins of your mind, and ‘being renewed by the spirit of your mind’.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit….
Romans 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
1 Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;….
1 Peter 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
1 Peter 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
Colossians 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Colossians 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
Colossians 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
I. The Tabernacle Built From The Heavenly Tabernacle Pattern
Exodus 25:8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
Exodus 25:9 According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
A. Let Them Make Me A Sanctuary That I May Dwell Among Them
B. Let Them Make It After The Pattern
1. God gave Moses The Pattern For The Tabernacle:
Acts 7:44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.
2. It was patterned after the Tabernacle (Throne) in heaven
Hebrews 8:2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
Hebrews 9:23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Hebrews 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
C. In The Book of Revelation We See The Beast Out Of The Sea In Blasphemy:
Revelation 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
D. Later, We See The Heavenly Tabernacle Opened
Revelation 15:5 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
E. The Lord Between The Cherubims Is Often Pictured As God Ruling From His Throne
2 Kings 19:15 And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.
Ezekiel 10:1-20
II. Floor Plan Of The Tabernacle
A. The Outer Court – Enclosed Place Around The Tabernacle Proper
1. 100 cubits long – (About 150 feet)
2. 50 cubits wide – (About 75 feet)
3. Outer Court contained the brazen altar and the brazen lavar
B. Tabernacle Proper – 30 cubits long (45’) – 10 cubits wide (15’) – 10 high (15’)
1. Made of two parts
a. Holy Place – 20 cubits long (30’) x 10 cubits wide (15’) x 10 wide (15’)
b. Holy of Holies – 10 cubits long (15’) x 10 cubits (15’) x 10 cubits (15’)
2. Furniture of the Holy Place
a. Table of shew bread
b. Golden Candlestick (lampstand)
c. Altar of incense
3. Furniture of the Holy of Holies
a. Ark of the Covenant
b. Mercy Seat – Top of the Ark
1. Place where God would meet with His people
2. Place where people would approach God
C. The Bible Looks At The Tabernacle From God’s Perspective
1. God looks at the tabernacle from the Mercy Seat – (Between The Cherubims)
a. If one were to open the veil from the Holy of Holies to the Holy Place
b. And then look back, one would see exactly what Adam and Eve saw:
Genesis 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
2. Man approaches the Tabernacle from the gate of the Outer Court
a. The first encounter would be the brazen Altar And Brazen Lavar
b. This deals with sin by:
1. The burnt sacrifices on the altar
2. The purification with water
c. After sanctification, one could enter the Holy Place
1. The Holy Place is for worship
2. One would never enter the Holy Of Holies
a. Only the high priest enters this place
b. And he only enters once a year
c. And he only enters with blood
III. The Ark Of The Covenant
Exodus 25:10 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
Exodus 25:11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.
Exodus 25:12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.
Exodus 25:13 And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
Exodus 25:14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
Exodus 25:15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.
Exodus 25:16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
Exodus 25:17 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
Exodus 25:18 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
Exodus 25:19 And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
Exodus 25:20 And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.
Exodus 25:21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
Exodus 25:22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.

Numbers 7:89 And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: and he spake unto him.
I Samuel 4:4 So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
II Kings 19:15 And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.
1 Chronicles 13:6 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjathjearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it.
Psalm 80:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannimeduth, A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
Psalm 99:1 The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.
Isaiah 37:16 O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.

I Chronicles 28:2 Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building:

2. The ark could not be called a gold chest – It was also wood
3. There is no mingling of the two
4. Both gold and wood are needed to maintain the type of Christ
a. The God-Man principle is an infinite mystery to humans
b. Here a gold-wood box describes things hard to explain

d. The ark was covered both in and out – This also describes Christ:
Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
5. Christ was all God and all Man
a. He was not just a man with a heightened god consciousness – He is God
1. He spoke as God
2. He placed Himself on the same plane as God
John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

1. He spoke for God:
John 6:32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
2. Christ Is God’s Message To Men – The Logos
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
3. Christ became flesh to tabernacle among us:
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
4. Christ is the ultimate message to man – The Alpha And Omega
C. Aaron’s Rod That Budded Points Forward To Christ As Priest
1. A Priest Speaks for man before God
2. As Priest Christ
a. Offered Himself as ransom
b. Passed into heaven – Aaron’s rod points to His resurrection
c. Now He continually makes intercession for us:
Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
d. Christ Entered The Heavenly Tabernacle And Presented his blood on mercy seat
Hebrews 9:23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Hebrews 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
e. Christ’s blood is the most valuable commodity In God’s economy:
I Peter 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
I Peter 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
f. We can approach God today through our Great High Priest In Heaven
Hebrews 9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Hebrews 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Hebrews 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Hebrews 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Hebrews 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
Hebrews 9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
Hebrews 9:18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
Hebrews 9:19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
Hebrews 9:20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
Hebrews 9:21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
Hebrews 9:23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Hebrews 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
Hebrews 9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
Hebrews 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
g. Now we can approach and commune with a Holy God
Hebrews 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
Hebrews 10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
Hebrews 10:21 And having an high priest over the house of God;
Hebrews 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
VIII. Table Of Shewbread
Exodus 25:23 Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
Exodus 25:24 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.
Exodus 25:25 And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.
Exodus 25:26 And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof.
Exodus 25:27 Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table.
Exodus 25:28 And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
Exodus 25:29 And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou make them.
Exodus 25:30 And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway.

Matthew 22:4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
Matthew 22:5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
Matthew 22:6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
Matthew 22:7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
Matthew 22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
Matthew 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
Matthew 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
Matthew 22:11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
Matthew 22:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Matthew 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
