What Is the Tabernacle? The tabernacle is the greatest teaching-learning resource designed by the greatest teacher for the purpose of training mortal man how to worship, that is how to approach an immortal God’s magnificent majesty in spirit and truth. God foresaw that a fallen man would be limited in processing and retaining spiritual truths because we are disconnected from His presence. Much like being disconnected from the internet because our broadband is broken. Why Study the Tabernacle?
