Before proceeding any further with the study, let's observe that every piece of furniture represents Christ in some aspect:
THE ARC: His Deity: Gold; His humanity: Wood= “THE GOD MAN”
THE MERCY SEAT: Christ as our Propitiation
THE TABLE OF SHOW BREAD: Christ the Bread of Life
THE CANDLESTICK: Christ our Light
THE ALTAR OF INCENSE: The fragrance of Christ to the Father and Christ as our Intercessor.
THE LAVER OF BRASS: The Word of God (From Genesis to Revelations, the main Subject is Jesus Christ.
THE BRAZEN ALTAR: Christ as the burnt offering of God and our Redeemer.
This furniture was located in three different sections of the Tabernacle. In the Court of the Tabernacle you found the Brazen Altar and the Laver of Brass. In the Holy place you found on your left as you walked inside: the Lampstand, on the right: the Table with Show bread. Directly in front you would see the Altar of Incense. As you continue to the most Holy place, behind the veil you found the Arc of the Testimony with its Mercy Seat. We combine two different concepts in which you see Christ in the Court of the Tabernacle as Savior (the Way), in the Holy place Christ is the Intercessor (the Truth) and in the most Holy place, Christ is in His throne (the Life). I want to invite you to read Ephesians 2:19-22 and 1 Peter 2:5, 9. (Please note that some Scriptures I will not write out in order to gain space for the rest of the study, as some can be very long. I challenge you to make them part of your devotion.
In our next study I will begin a journey through the Camp and will be writing about the Priesthood in comparison to Jesus as The High Priest, followed by the descriptions of each furniture and how they represent the beauty of Jesus Christ’s plan of salvation for all mankind. I will also be answering the famous question: Was it true that the high priest was tied by the ankle with a rope to be dragged out in case he died in the most Holy place? Have your Bible ready.

The Tabernacle of Moses
I have taught on many different subjects but one of my favorites is “The Tabernacle”, because with all of its colorful symbolism talks about the greatest gift of all times, Jesus Christ. Besides the Tabernacle, there is no other study in the Scriptures that reveals in a profound way through typology and symbolism, the Divinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. It gives us details of the saving and redemptive work of God and we can also see the believer and the church operating in God’s divine plan.
The study on the Tabernacle through its symbolism and typology, though at that time was a shadow of things to come, will also allow us to have a better understanding and appreciation of the Word of God and the plan of salvation.
I must warn you that the beauty of this study is lost when man pretends to look for his own benefits instead of seeing Jesus Christ in every aspect, as the Tabernacle in its entirety represents the glory of Jesus Christ our Messiah. It’s when you come to know Jesus and have a relationship with him that you get to know everything about God’s divine purpose with your life.

About Me
- Pastor David
- My name is David Bonilla born in Puerto Rico. In 1955 my parents came to Miami with all of us six kids. I married Leidys and we have a son, two daughters, three grandchildren and all our children are active in the ministry. For thirty five years we have served as pastors and pioneers of several churches including the present one. At the beginning of our ministry, my wife and I had to work and pastor. I was art director and my wife a freelance fashion designer. A local Publishers printed and distributed a book I authored on the Tabernacle in Spanish and the poster I drew of the same subject. The book is now on its fifth printing and thousands of posters are in circulation around the world in Spanish, English and Portuguese. The book is being used as a textbook in Germany and was used for a theatrical play in Costa Rica, praise God. Some of our teaching materials are in print and will be available soon. One in particular teaches about the tradition of “Good Friday”, where I answer the question: Did Jesus really die on a Friday? I pray that this site may be a blessing to you.
