Brooknom's world

The People have more than enough for the tabernacle and priestly garments.

The People offer precious items to the lord's service willingly. God at this moment shows how he has blessed some among the Hebrew people to work the work of constructing the tabernacle.

Moses gives the people the commandments as delivered to him by God. The importance of the sabbath day is focused on, and the people who are willing are instructed to give precious items for the construction of the tabernacle and the priestly garments. 

Moses intercedes between God and the children of Israel delivering his message to them. The people who inhabit the lands being handed over to Israel have practiced idolatry, the Hebrew people have been warned about intermingling with these groups and taking on their ways.

Moses goes back up to mount Sinai but this time he has to hew out the two stones and carry them up for God to write on them . This is a contrast from the first tablets which were both provided to moses by God and written on by God . As He talks with God he proclaims his name to Moses, and at the hearing of that name Moses falls down to worship.

Moses Speaks with god as a man speaks to his friend which is completely astonishing. Moses upon his request to see God in his fullness learns no man can see God in this manner and live.

The children of Israel are at the crossroads of mercy and judgment, and it is indeed a bitter sweet pill.

Upon returning from mount sinai Moses is very displeased at what he finds. The children of Israel have sold themselves to idolatry in the time Moses was on sinai talking with God, and judgment comes.

Moses has a discussion with God and makes intercession to God for the people, appealing for mercy.

With all The blessings and all the victory the children of Israel go astray, Worshiping the creation instead of the creator. This is a great example to the rest of us to know what not to do, we must however consider the Hebrew people without the pious looking glass.

God Provides Moses with skilled workers to construct the tabernacle as laid out by the instructions given on mount Sinai.

More details and more instructions are given for the design of the tabernacle and the service of the priest.

If you are watching and or listening to this, no matter your current condition you have much to be thankful for. For those in other countries that don't celebrate thanksgiving you can still take this day and this time to focus on giving thanks. 

The Priest are set apart for service to God

There is a prevailing thought that people are generally good. This would imply that given the opportunity to choose  most would choose righteousness as established by God over sin.

The office of the priesthood.

The details of the construction of the alter and the court of the tabernacle are laid out.

Are we really about Gods work or are we content with the show.

God Gives further instruction on the design of the temple and the layout of the shittim wood used.

There are many people who willingly serve the prince of the power of the air, I also believe equally that their are many ignorant of the power in the background. 

Instructions for building the tabernacle are given in detail. In the book of hebrews we see that this tabernacle is a figure of the true tabernacle. 

After realizing I skipped a chapter I return back to cover Exodus chapter 24, Moses goes up to talk with God for 40 days and 40 nights.

God gives very specific instructions for the pattern by which to make the tabernacle and the ark of the covenant.

I want to encourage all those who are of the household of faith hold the line, you might have the words needed to convince  someone to go on and fight another day.

God holds the Children of Israel to a standard of holiness and separation from the nations around them and their pagan worship.
