Different materials were used to build the tabernacle. Each material represents a specific idea and has a specific meaning and the meaning remains the same throughout the whole Bible. Through the meanings of the materials we can again see how God wants to dwell among us.
The shape of the objects in the tabernacle also represent very specific meanings. Round has a meaning and square has a meaning and these meanings don’t change. They remain the same throughout the Bible.
The tabernacle is a shadow of a heavenly tabernacle where Yeshua is the High Priest. “Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.” (Hebrews 8:1-5) “According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.” (Exodus 25:9) From the tabernacle built on earth by Moses, we can now learn and understand the heavenly tabernacle or, in other words, from the shadow, which Moses (and the people of Israel) pitched we can learn more about the reality, which no man pitched, but our covenant God Himself.
