Mission as Tabernacle
God calls a man (Ark/Light/Sabbath)
…..He is set apart and slain (Veil/Light-filled Cloud/Passover)
……….He is “resurrected” as food for others before God
……….(Altar & Table/Land/Firstfruits)
……………His witness to the Law fills others (Lampstand/Lights/Pentecost)
……….They grow into an army (Incense/Light-filled Clouds/Trumpets)
…..They are “resurrected” to inherit the Gentile lands
…..(High Priest/Mediators/Atonement)
God fills the new united kingdom (Shekinah/Global Light/Tabernacles)
