Exodus 37-40 :: God Dwells With the Israelites and With Us Open Our Bibles Together with MFahring

    • Christianity

:::: THAT’S A WRAP MY OOBTers!! ::::
 
WELL…. WITH THE BOOK OF EXODUS ANYWAY! 🎉🎉🎉
 
Three books down (Genesis, Job, and now Exodus) with only 63 more to go!
We got this right?! LOL!
 
So we FINISH the book of Exodus today AND up next we’ll BEGIN Leviticus. (More on that to come… I promise!)
 
In the meantime, though, I think we could easily sum up nearly all that is happening in today’s episode with these words on repeat in our readings…. “Just as the LORD had commanded Moses.”
 
That particular phrase is repeated nearly 10 times in Exodus chapter 39 alone… all that repetition should make us sit up and take notice of what Moses is detailing in the construction of the Tabernacle and the priestly garments. Honestly, even the repetition all over again of the specific instructions for crafting all the pieces and parts of the Tabernacle should remind us of the importance of Israel’s full obedience in doing everything … you guessed it… “Just as the LORD had commanded Moses.”
 
How about instead of continuing to talk in circles about repetition and all the things, you just listen in to this one to hear how all it comes together for yourself? And be sure you don’t miss all the talk about God’s presence. God dwelling. God With Them and Us PLUS some of the many ways that the story of Exodus is our story too.
 
Oh goodness please trust me when I say this is a don’t miss episode of OOBT!
