Finding Messiah in Triennial Vayaas et
This section is part of a Chiastic Structure from Exo 25:1-39:31. Its two bookends are the blueprints for the tabernacle given, and the blueprints for the tabernacle followed in its construction. We find at the heart of it, that separation from YHVH is the consequence for sin. This is exactly the same Gospel that was preached from Genesis, at the Fall of Man, and the sin of Cain, and the Flood of Noah.
Notice that Moses’ intercession and intervention wraps around the judgment for sin. What is Scripture teaching us?
The Torah had been given to God’s people. These are not unbelievers and pagans. These are the ones who applied the blood of the Lamb to the doorposts of their houses and were baptized through the Red Sea. These are the ones who said to Moses, “All that YHVH has said, we will do and be obedient,” (Exo 24:7).
Scripture is revealing the grace of God poured out upon His people for their transgression of Torah, through the intervention of Messiah, that is, Moses as a type, the Mediator between God and men.
Or another way to say it: the Old Covenant is a covenant of grace under Moses the Messiah foreshadow, just as the (Re)New(ed) Covenant is a covenant of grace under Yeshua, the Messiah prophesied from the foundation of the world.
