Hebrews 8:5
“These priests provide only a hint of what goes on in the true sanctuary of heaven, which Moses caught a glimpse of as he was about to set up the tent-shrine. It was then that God said, “Be careful to do it exactly as you saw it on the Mountain.”
“They serve in a system of worship that is only a copy, a shadow of the real one in heaven. For when Moses was getting ready to build the Tabernacle, God gave him this warning. “Be sure that you make everything according to the pattern I have shown you here on the mountain.”
1The old covenant gave hints of a heavenly reality. That is why the directions for building the tabernacle were so specific. The earthly meeting place, though it seemed solid, was nothing more that a collection of swirling atomic energy. It was only a representation of a truly real place in another realm. The closer science looks at our world the more ephemeral it seems. God calls us into relationship with him in a more real place where we will be more our real self. It will be a revelation to meet more-real loved ones gone before. I look forward to meeting them free of the darkness and heartache sin wrought in their earthly lives. Joy.
Lord, I look forward to this. Thank you for coming to teach us, call us, to be more real in you. Spirit, thank you for faith, hope and love you give me now. Thank you for the future you promise.
