in the Lord.

And so as we read these narratives of the tabernacle, we have to be claimed by their authority.

These are the word of God.

We have to understand them with the spirit of prayer and expect God to inscribe their teaching upon our hearts as we meditate upon them and even as we are being challenged by the world of flesh and the devil.

Think about the New Testament as a pair of glasses that the Lord gives to us that we are enabled to read now the Old Testament rightly.

Think about the Old Testament and the New Testament, how they relate to each other as a two-volume book.

If you just have the Old Testament, what do you have?

You have volume one.

You have the first half.

If you don't have the New Testament, you don't have the second volume, the first volume's incomplete.

You're not able to understand it.
