Finding Messiah in Triennial Vayaviyu et hamishkan
Then YHVH spoke to Moses, saying, “On the first day of the first month you shall set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.” Exo 40:1-2
Moses raised the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, – of YHVH and man drawing near to each other to meet – foreshadowing the raising of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, – of YHVH and man drawing near to each other to meet – that Messiah Yeshua is raising:
So the Jews answered and said to Him, “What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?” Yeshua answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” But He was speaking of the temple of His body. Joh 2:18-21
Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1 Cor 3:16
For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” 2 Cor 6:16
Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Yeshua Messiah Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. Eph 2:19-22
Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Yeshua Messiah. 1 Pet 2:4-5
It is Messiah Yeshua who is building His tabernacle made without hands, out of us, His living stones, for a place for His glory to dwell.
And he raised up the court all around the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the screen of the court gate. So Moses finished the work. Exo 40:33
So when Yeshua had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. Joh 19:30
Moses the foreshadow, and Messiah Yeshua, about whom Moses wrote (Joh 5:46), both finished the work given to them by the Father to complete.
