"Holiness to the Lord" Exodus 40:34-38 (Exodus 39:30) They made themselves the picture of the diadem "holy of pure gold" and wrote on it as a seal engraving: Holiness to Jehovah. They did everything as Jehovah commanded Moses. The gold foil of the high priest's diadem was engraved as a "seal" with the words "holiness to Jehovah," so that he would carry the iniquity (injustice or great evil in the way of acting, evil, perversity, it is outside the morals of God and the morals of good men) of holy things when the people sinned against the holy. All worship and service are "cleansed of all imperfection" by our High Priest before coming to the Father.

I. Moses erected (raised) the Tabernacle.

A. Moses as a lawgiver (establishes the laws).

1. Moses had the Tabernacle raised.

2. In this way the great lawgiver carried out "all" the detailed instructions just as "the Lord had commanded Moses."

3. For each part of the same structure (set of distribution of the parts of a whole, whose order and relationship between each other allow the operation, the rules) as well as for each piece of furniture.

4. It was the physical and it was the holy.

5. After Moses finished making the Tabernacle, meant to be God's dwelling place among men, "God came and took possession of it."

6. If your soul has "a throne and an altar" for God, "then in you there is a 'living' temple."

7. When God descended to take possession of His house, "the cloud covered on the outside, and the glory of the Lord filled it on the inside.

8. If your heart belongs to God, because you have a throne and an altar in your soul, then you have to know that He dwells where holiness is.

9. God descends where His throne is.

10. Finally, Moses erected the atrium around the Tabernacle.

11. We find the culminating words (important) (highest point) that complete an important work "well done: Thus, Moses finished the work.

12. This is how our lives should be: to finish what we have to very well done.

13. According to God's instructions through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, not our style.

14. (Exodus 40:34) Then a cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the Tabernacle.

15. When "the cloud of glory" descended upon the Tabernacle and filled it in such a way that "Moses could not enter."

16. This cloud was meant to be (a). a sign of God's presence, constantly visible day, and night to all (V. 38) Israel, even to those in the remotest corners of the camp, so that they would never again doubt and ask: Is Jehovah among us, or not?

17. A concealment of Tabernacle and the glory of God in it.

18. God dwells among them, but dwells in a cloud.

19. A protection of the Tabernacle.

20. They had secured it with one cover over another; but, after all, the cloud that covered it was its best guardian and protector.

21. A guide to Israel's camp during their march through the desert.

22. As the cloud continued over the Tabernacle, they rested. When the cloud rose, they would move in pursuit of it as they were purely and simply under God's direction.

23. Then Moses could not enter.

24. As a member of the tribe of Levi, Moses was apparently qualified to perform priesthood functions (Exodus 40:13) until Aaron and his sons were invested (they were granted, he gave up their garments with this responsibility).

25. On Aaron's forehead was the plate of the holy diadem, of pure gold (Exodus 28:38), there were the faults committed in all holy things, there it was present, to sanctify the pure.

26. But Aaron's fault was violently condemned (Numbers 20:24).

27. (Numbers 20:24) He did not carry the faults of the people and (Numbers 20:10-11): Hear now, rebels! there was annoyance. Must we bring you water out of this rock?

28. He hit twice and it was talking to the rock!

29. God wanted to allow Himself to be revealed through these men.
