This act of putting up the curtain signifies the establishment of a sacred boundary, emphasizing the holiness of God and the separation between God and man due to sin. The curtain is a significant element in the tabernacle, symbolizing the need for mediation between God and humanity. In the New Testament, the tearing of the temple veil at Jesus' crucifixion (<a href="/matthew/27-51.htm">Matthew 27:51</a>) signifies the removal of this barrier, granting believers direct access to God through Christ.<p><b>at the entrance</b><br>The entrance to the tabernacle was the designated point of access for the priests who ministered within. This entrance was carefully constructed and positioned, reflecting the order and precision of God's instructions to Moses. The entrance symbolizes the way to approach God, which in the New Testament is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who declared Himself to be "the way" (<a href="/john/14-6.htm">John 14:6</a>). The entrance's location and design underscore the importance of approaching God in the manner He prescribes.<p><b>to the tabernacle</b><br>The tabernacle was the portable dwelling place for the presence of God among the Israelites during their wilderness journey. It was a central element of Israelite worship and community life, representing God's desire to dwell among His people. The tabernacle's construction and layout were given in detail by God to Moses on Mount Sinai (Exodus 25-31), highlighting its significance. The tabernacle prefigures the incarnation of Christ, who "tabernacled" among us (<a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>), and points forward to the ultimate dwelling of God with humanity in the New Jerusalem (<a href="/revelation/21-3.htm">Revelation 21:3</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to lead His people out of Egypt and to receive the Law.
