Builders of the Tabernacle

Kay Ph.D. Fairchild

Description

In this book we give an overall description of God's plan for all mankind. There are numerous messages such as the present Resurrection, showing that resurrection is not merely the experience of those who die physically, but for anyone wanting to experience a deeper oneness in God. We also show Old Testament types of the Person and Work of Christ, and what that means to us. We look at advancing in the Most Holy Place, God's Apology to man, the generation of Jesus Christ, the stones in the breastplate of the high priest, and how we can be a partaker of what most believe to be merely historical. We explore other truths for those who are seeking a fuller understanding of the Bible.

THE BUILDERS OF THE TABERNACLE
God is forming Himself in and as a people whom He is using to build the House of The Lord. They are a people that He has groomed and has birthed His nature within. They are Love, Mercy, Grace, and Peace personified. In this study we will look at the builders of the Tabernacle of Moses and see the qualifying God-given character which they had. The same qualifications are built within a people today that God is using to build a Spiritual Tabernacle.
STIRRED UP AND WILLING HEARTS
Exodus 35:20-22 "And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. And they came, everyone Whose Heart Stirred Him Up, and everyone Whom His Spirit Made Willing, and they brought the Lord's offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments. And they came, both Men and Women, as many as were Willing Hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered, offered an offering of gold unto the Lord."
Exodus 35:29-35 “The children of Israel brought a Willing Offering unto the Lord, every man and woman, Whose Heart Made Than Willing to bring for all manner of work which the Lord had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses. And Moses said unto the children of Israel See, the Lord hath called by name Be-zal-e-el the son of Uri, the son of Hur, the tribe of Judah; and He hath filled him with the Spirit Of God, In Wisdom, In Understanding, And In Knowledge, and in all manner of Workmanship; And to devise Curious Works, to work in Gold, and in Silver, and in Brass; And in the Cutting Of Stones, to Set Them, and in Carving Of Wood, to make Any Manner Of Cunning Work And He hath put in his heart, that he may Teach, both he, and A-HO' LI-AB, the son of A-H1S' A-MACH, of the tribe of Dan. Them hath He filled with Wisdom Of Heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple; in scarlet, and in fine linens, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning works."
Exodus 36:1-4 "Then wrought BE-ZAL'E-EL and A-HO’ LI-AB, and every wise hearted man, in whom the Lord put Wisdom and Understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the Lord had commanded. And Moses called BE-ZAL' E-EL and A-HO' LI-AB, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the Lord had put Wisdom, even everyone whose heart Stirred him up to come unto the work and do it: And they received of Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning. And all the WISE men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made."
The Lord is forming Himself in, through, and as a people who have these same qualifications that the builders of the tabernacle had. He has made us a new type of people whom He can use to build the spiritual tabernacle, His temple. Revelation 21:22 tells us, "And I [John] saw No temple in the city for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it." This simply means that there are a people who manifest the glory of God to such an extent that nothing in the outer realm is seen. The only thing that is seen is the Nature of God; no Manifestation of flesh or humanity.
This people who manifest only the glory and majesty of God are the ones whom God is using to build the tabernacle [the house of the Lord]. That is not to say that we are manifesting all of the nature of God, but we are beginning to move into that dimension of Spirit.
Matthew 16:18 "I will build my church, and the gates of hell [death] shall not prevail against it." The Lord builds His church rather than man in human ability.
Psalms 127:1 "Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it."
Except the building that we are, is built by God, it is not according to the pattern. Building with the Lord necessitates seeing what the Lord is presently doing, and then working along with Him. The children of Issachar had understanding of the times in which they lived therefore they knew what they ought to do.
Hebrews 3:1-2 "Wherefore holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Who was Faithful to Him that appointed Him, as also Moses was Faithful in all His house.” Jesus was faithful unto Him that appointed and ordained Him, and we must be faithful unto Him that appointed and ordained us.
Hebrews 3:3 "For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honor than the house. For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God." We know that it is God, the builder that works through man to build the house of the Lord.
Hebrews 3:5 "And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; But Christ as a Son over His own house; whose house Are We If we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end." Every house today is built by some man, even though God is builder of all. God can only work through and as man.
REPAIRERS AND RESTORERS
Isaiah 58:12 "And they that shall be of thee shall Build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The Repairer Of The Breach, The Restorer Of Paths To Dwell In." Isaiah 61:4 "And they shall Build the old wastes, they shall Raise up the former desolations, and they shall Repair The Waste Cities, The Desolations of many generations." Through these scriptures, we can see the context that the Lord has in the group of builders He is bringing forth to effect a work of restoration and reconciliation in the building of the Lord's house, which has been torn down. Jesus said, “Tear this temple down, and in three days I will raise it up again..." Just as Jesus was crucified and torn down as it were, so the body of Christ has been torn down, and was built up again when Jesus went to the cross, and in His resurrection. Now a people are realizing that and experiencing this building up. I Corinthians 8:8-9 "Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one : and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are laborers together with God..." God is building but we are the laborers together WITH God. "...Ye are God's Husbandry, ye are God's building." So we are God's little acre. The word husbandry means, we are God's plowed field.
I Corinthians 3:10 "According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a Wise Master builder [expert in building], I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed HOW he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."
We are builders in God's house. First of all, we are builders of ourselves, and then builders of the house as a whole. Hebrews 8:1-5 "Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum:” In other words, he is summing up everything he had written in the previous chapters. “ We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the majesty in the heavens; a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man has somewhat also to offer. For if He were on earth, He should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, see, saith He, that thou make all things according to the Pattern shewed to thee on the mount.” Moses was Faithful just as Jesus was faithful. Today, a people whom God is using to build the house of the Lord are faithful as they see the Lord’s faithfulness. Even though Moses built a physical tabernacle, the pattern for it had its origin in the heavens, or in the dimension of Spirit. That which he built was of God, not of man. Moses was faithful in building this earthly tabernacle. Moses sought God in how to build the tabernacle and God gave him detailed instructions to build it according to the measurements and all the instructions to build it according to His plan. Even though God gave Moses all the details, Moses still needed Workmen to build it. This is the context of this whole bible study. Moses needed workmen that could build the tabernacle. God needs Workmen to build His house! God moved upon these men to build. God put His Spirit within a people who will build, and ARE building today! Moses may have had the blueprints, but it was not Moses who built it. God touched certain men and gave them spiritual ability. Let us look at Moses as representing the Lord Jesus Christ; He has laid out the blueprint, but there still must be hearts that are
