7. Die Linne Bedekking
In this episode, we continue our journey through the sacred design of the Tabernacle by exploring its innermost layer. The ten curtains of fine linen, woven with blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and embroidered with cherubim . These weren’t just decorative, they were a divine masterpiece, filled with spiritual meaning and astonishing parallels to the very code of life itself.
We dive deep into:
The symbolism of the number 10 -representing completeness, divine order, and spiritual responsibility.
6. Die Koper Altaar Vervolg
In this episode, we continue our journey through the sacred design of the Tabernacle by diving deep into the Bronze Altar, the place where Israel came to meet God through sacrifice. We explore its structure, materials, and spiritual significance, including:
The altar’s dimensions and their symbolic meaning (grace and divine fullness).
The horns of the altar as symbols of power, refuge, and mercy.
The bronze grating as a picture of spiritual purification and fasting.
The carrying poles that reveal God’s presence on the move, calling us to live as mobile altars of worship.
We also break down the five foundational offerings from Leviticus:
Burnt Offering – complete surrender to God
Grain Offering – gratitude and consecration of daily labour
Peace Offering – restored relationship and fellowship with God
Sin Offering – atonement for unintentional sin
Guilt Offering – making restitution and receiving forgiveness
These offerings were not just rituals, they were prophetic shadows pointing forward to Jesus Christ , who said, “I have come not to abolish [the Law] but to fulfil it” (Matthew 5:17). His final words on the cross “Tetelestai” (“It is finished”) echo throughout the Tabernacle’s design, declaring that the debt of sin has been fully paid.
Join us as we connect the physical elements of the Bronze Altar with the spiritual realities found only in Christ – the true Altar of Refuge, Sacrifice, and Transformation.
5. Die Koper Altaar
In this episode, we step into the sacred space of the Tabernacle and explore the deeper meaning behind the Bronze Altar. The first point of encounter between humanity and God. Located at the entrance of the Outer Court, the altar was where sacrifices were made, symbolising forgiveness, cleansing, and reconciliation through blood. But beyond its physical form lies a powerful metaphor for spiritual transformation.
We dive into how the bronze altar represents the cross of Christ , where Jesus offered Himself once and for all. The process of refining bronze, from mining the ore, crushing, purifying through fire, and finally shaping into holy vessels, mirrors our own journey of sanctification. Just as copper is refined by fire, so too are we purified by the Holy Spirit, being moulded into the image of Christ.
This episode explores:
The symbolic layers of the Tabernacle’s three main sections (Outer Court, Holy Place, Most Holy Place).
How the Bronze Altar points prophetically to Jesus’ sacrifice .
The metallurgical process of copper refinement as a metaphor for spiritual growth.
Biblical references such as Hebrews 9:14 & 10:10 , highlighting our cleansing and sanctification through Christ.
Join us on this deep dive into the sacred design of the Tabernacle and discover how every detail reveals the heart of God’s redemptive plan.
4. Die Penne en Toue van die Tabernakel
The spiritual implication that Jesus preserves us from the destruction of sins and worldly influences, just as the copper preserved the wood.
3. Die Hek
The gate is a lofty path of the Messiah, as described in the books of Matthew and John when it declares: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6; John 10:9; Matthew 7:13-14)
2. Die Heining
The fence of the Tabernacle is symbolic of the human body, with every detail intricately woven to reflect the human form. Its structure, defined by posts, sockets, and fine linen, mirrors the body’s framework, and boundaries….
1. Die Liggaam
The same pattern of God’s artwork (Blueprint) is seen throughout the Tabernacle. When we look at the Fence around the Tabernacle it looks just like the membrane of a living cell that protects and sustains life within.
