This is my last post of Exodus.
The other day I was outside walking with my mother and sister. While walking I saw the most beautiful anthill I had ever seen. Ants, have no way of communication as far as we know. There is no delegation, and there is no royal ranking. Ants, just know what to do. The Israelites are kind of like ants. All of them worked together to build The Tabernacle of Moses. Very much like the way a colony of ants build an anthill. People who were skilled in different areas gave their abilities to building the tabernacle.
In a way I guess, the Tabernacle was like the first Church in the Bible. In the sense that, it was a holy place, and was meant for worship.
It was also similar to a church in another very big way. A Church is not only a place to worship. It brings people together. A church is a big family. A small community of its own. Just like the Israelites. The Israelites all worked together and through it all. There was a happy ending.
So...
Moses was definitely a character. I think he was the first person in the Bible to show (very obviously and openly) every visible emotion. There were times he was scared, naive, happy, sad, brave, timid, meek, and Inspiring.
There is not much more to post about, considering I have posted three posts on the building of the Tabernacle. This was a huge part of the ending of Exodus, just about the last ten chapters was nothing but an explanation and plans for the Tabernacle.
Super Excited About Leviticus.

an interesting thought: the most sacred part of the tabernacle, the most Holy of Holies...where the presence of the Lord was. After Jesus died on the cross.... received the Spirit of the Lord inside of us. In 1 Corinthians it compares our body as being the most Holy of holies. Just a cool thought.
