He's the radiance of God's glory.

He made purification for sins and so forth.

The Bible comes to its culmination

into its conclusion in Jesus Christ.

And so we must read the tabernacle with him in mind.

What's it saying about him?

How is it saying that?

Where is it going?

The apostle Paul tells us that if we read the word of God, the Old Testament especially, apart from Jesus and the work of the Holy Spirit, it's like having a veil over your eyes.

Again, you read it with darkness.

It's obscure.

It doesn't quite make much sense.

But yet now we have the coming of the Savior, and he's poured out upon us on the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit.

He now reveals to us, Paul says elsewhere, the deep things of God.

So he tells us, for example, in 2 Corinthians 3, that when the Old Testament is read, the Old Covenant is read, there's a veil over the eyes of those who are in unbelief.

But yet we have the Spirit now.

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there's freedom.

And so we all with unveiled face behold the glory of the Lord and are being transformed from one degree of glory to another.

And he says, for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

So read your Old Testament.
