Why does Moses’ tabernacle matter to Christians?
Short answer: It was a copy and shadow of heavenly things; earthly shadows point us to the real thing.
▶ 0:00 In Hebrews chapter 8 verse 5 the tabernacle Moses’s tabernacle served as the copy and shadow. Of heavenly things. As Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle so if you look here I got a shadow right. If you follow the shadow a man but a picture or a shadow is just a representation of the real thing it is not the real thing so God makes these shadows. Or earthly things to. Point us to what the heavenly thing the real thing. For he said see that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain according to the shadow so in the New Testament he helps us understand why these things were made they are pointing us to the real thing.
