Most Bible readers are familiar with the story of Moses delivering Israel from Egypt. But once the Hebrew nation crossed the Red Sea, were the next forty years just wasted while they aimlessly wandered the desert? Or did God intend for us to learn a valuable spiritual truth from Israel's wilderness experience? During the forty years following Israel's deliverance from Egypt, God's presence inhabited the Wilderness Tabernacle. God continually dwelled in the midst of the Israelite camp-giving prophetically significant and specific direction to the Hebrews regarding the construction and operation of the Tabernacle. Not only do the Wilderness Tabernacle and the Israelite camp reveal God's plan for the redemption of humanity through the Messiah, they also foreshadow his ultimate plan for inhabiting his people. From the beginning of time, God intended for us to be living tabernacles-living temples filled with His Spirit. The Presence of God examines the links between the Old Testament, messianic prophecies, the Wilderness Tabernacle, and the New Testament.
The Hebrew Scriptures detailed God's eternal plan many centuries before the birth, death, and resurrection of the Messiah, Jesus. In The Presence of God, examine for yourself what God desires for His creation.
