It was made of acacia wood and overlaid with gold, signifying purity and divinity. The poles, also made of acacia wood and overlaid with gold, were used to carry the altar, emphasizing the mobility of the tabernacle as the Israelites journeyed through the wilderness. This altar was placed before the veil that separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place, indicating the importance of prayer in approaching God. The altar of incense is a type of Christ, who intercedes for believers (<a href="/hebrews/7-25.htm">Hebrews 7:25</a>).<p><b>the anointing oil and fragrant incense;</b><br>The anointing oil was a sacred mixture used to consecrate the tabernacle and its furnishings, as well as the priests. It symbolized the Holy Spirit's presence and empowerment. The fragrant incense, made from a specific blend of spices, was burned on the altar of incense, representing the prayers of the saints (<a href="/revelation/5-8.htm">Revelation 5:8</a>). The use of these elements highlights the importance of holiness and the sweet aroma of a life dedicated to God. The anointing oil also prefigures the anointing of Jesus as the Messiah, the Anointed One (<a href="/luke/4-18.htm">Luke 4:18</a>).<p><b>the curtain for the doorway at the entrance to the tabernacle;</b><br>The curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle served as a barrier between the sacred space and the outside world, signifying the separation between God and humanity due to sin. This curtain was made of fine linen and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, reflecting the glory and majesty of God. It was the first point of entry into the tabernacle, where the priests would begin their service. The curtain is a type of Christ, who is the way to the Father (<a href="/john/14-6.htm">John 14:6</a>). The tearing of the temple veil at Jesus' crucifixion (<a href="/matthew/27-51.htm">Matthew 27:51</a>) symbolizes the removal of the barrier between God and humanity, granting believers direct access to God through Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites who received the instructions for the construction of the Tabernacle from God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>A portable sanctuary used by the Israelites as a place of worship during their journey through the wilderness.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_altar_of_incense.htm">The Altar of Incense</a></b><br>A sacred altar within the Tabernacle where incense was burned as an offering to God.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/a/anointing_oil.htm">Anointing Oil</a></b><br>A specially prepared oil used for consecrating the priests and the sacred objects within the Tabernacle.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_curtain.htm">The Curtain</a></b><br>A veil that separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place within the Tabernacle.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_obedience.htm">The Importance of Obedience</a></b><br>The detailed instructions for the Tabernacle and its furnishings remind us of the importance of obedience to God's commands.
