Hallel Fellowship

What can all the meticulous Bible detail on the architecture and interior design of Israel's Tabernacle teach us about Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus)? In this study of Torah reading וַיַּקְהֵל Vayaqhel ("and he assembled," Exodus 35:1–38:20), we'll focus on the door of that Dwelling Place of God. As the living Tabernacle (John 1:14), Yeshua is the way for native-born (Jew) and foreign-born (Gentile) believers to move from where we all started as "other" from God toward the Presence to see His glory. Yeshua is the perfect high priest who offers the true sacrifice, the goal toward Whom the essential patterns of the Tabernacle/Temple direct us (Hebrews 7-8). Without Yeshua's atoning work, memorialized annually on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), there is no other means of salvation — to have access to God (Hebrews 10:26-27). The Torah, as "every word that proceeds from the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4; Deuteronomy 8:3), reveals the reality of life apart from the Creator and that there is a Way back — Yeshua.
