The Tabernacle full size replica was constructed by Teen Mission International. All of the items arrived packed into one large freight car. This exhibit has traveled extensively throughout the United States.

A very large waterproof tent houses the exhibit, as we see in the distance.

A beautiful large banner about ten feet long depicts the Tabernacle in the Wilderness and shows the Hebrew tribal configurations which camped around it in ancient times.

Hebrews 9:4:15: "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin."

The first exhibit shows a smaller scale model replica of the Tabernacle which is used for the initial discussion with the audience.

The Tabernacle itself was covered in four layers of animal skins, as shown here.

"...Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to Yah, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living Yah?"

Here we see a priest standing beside the Brazen Altar used for animal sacrifices. It was placed in the Outer Court.

A view of the Outer Court shows the Brazen Altar in a scale model in the picture. The Laver to the left was a large reservoir filled with water, with faucets on the side for the high priest to purify his hands and feet. The Laver is a type of New Testament baptism.

The entrance gate to the Outer Court is shown here. It was composed of linen in four colors: blue, purple, red, and white. This gate was 30 feet wide!

The lecture room is shown here with the small model of the Tabernacle and other items. The presenter was very knowledgeable and personable. The presentation took about an hour and a half; with a lot of wonderful information presented..

The linen garment of the High Priest is shown with the breastplate composed of twelve precious stones representing the twelve tribes of Israel. Notice the pomegranates at the bottom.

This actual full-size replica of the Tabernacle was beautiful to behold. Each layer of skins was composed of hundreds of animal skins and weighed approximately 3000 pounds each!

The seven-branched golden candlestick is shown here.

The High Priest ministers at the Altar of Incense.

Here we see the atonement offering for the sins of the people, which involved the slaying of many hundreds of animals. How thankful we are that this sacrificial offering has been replaced by the "better covenant" of Messiah, who was our one sacrifice for sin under the New Covenant!

Here the High Priest ministers at the Table of Shewbread. We hope that you enjoyed this short tour of the Tabernacle in the Wilderness. Please come visit our Messianic Assembly when you can to learn more about the Torah of Elohim and its symbolism for those of us today under the New Covenant!
