It was made of acacia wood and overlaid with bronze, symbolizing judgment and sacrifice. This altar was where offerings were made to atone for sin, pointing to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the sacrificial system through His death on the cross (<a href="/hebrews/10-10.htm">Hebrews 10:10</a>). The altar's placement signifies the necessity of atonement before entering into God's presence.<p><b>in front of the entrance</b><br>Positioning the altar in front of the entrance underscores the idea that one must first deal with sin before approaching God. This reflects the broader biblical principle that reconciliation with God requires a mediator and a sacrifice, as seen in the role of Jesus as the mediator of the new covenant (<a href="/1_timothy/2-5.htm">1 Timothy 2:5</a>). The altar's location also served as a constant reminder to the Israelites of the need for purification and repentance.<p><b>to the tabernacle,</b><br>The tabernacle, also known as the Tent of Meeting, was the portable dwelling place of God among the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness. It was a sacred space where God met with His people, symbolizing His presence and guidance. The tabernacle's design and function foreshadowed the coming of Christ, who "tabernacled" among us (<a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>), providing a way for humanity to dwell with God.<p><b>the Tent of Meeting.</b><br>The Tent of Meeting was a term used interchangeably with the tabernacle, emphasizing its role as a place of divine encounter. It was here that Moses spoke with God "face to face" (<a href="/exodus/33-11.htm">Exodus 33:11</a>), highlighting the intimate relationship between God and His chosen leader. This concept of meeting with God is fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus, who provides believers with direct access to the Father (<a href="/hebrews/4-16.htm">Hebrews 4:16</a>). The Tent of Meeting served as a precursor to the church, the body of Christ, where believers gather to worship and commune with God.<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 deliver His people from Egypt and to receive the Law.
