Ex. 40: seeing the cross and Christ's redemption.

All of the furniture in the Tabernacle when seen from a looking down view was in the shape of a cross. All that furniture was a picture of Christ.  Many agree with this.  They were called shadows.  Many N.T. scriptures confirm this.  for example,  the laver they would wash with, was also being washed by the water of the word.  The shew bread was Jesus body.  The seven lamps was the Holy Spirit. etc.

The tabernacle was of skins which would picture a body.  Notice the Tabernacle which is a temple, is lifted up.  often in 40 you see that raising up.  The veil pictured Christ's body.  Jesus said he would raise the temple up in 3 days, he was saying his body. Matt. 26:61,  27:40.   In 1Cor. 6: 19  we are called temples.

All of these things are spiritual.  As a shadow we see the cross and work of Jesus.

Edit----   Wanted to add this to the chapter because it gives more evidence to what I have written.  In verse 33 of ch.40.  The word is different but can be seen.  Moses finished the word, another way of saying it,  is
it is finished.  The furniture  fits the picture of Jesus and it is a order in the room as the cross.  The holy of holy is where he will enter. the veil  Heb. 10:20  the veil of his flesh.  The Tabernacle raised up--the cross
and it is finished.  Hope you see this.

Jesus as savior book by book in bible.----Genesis

In Gen. 22:   We have a picture that is very clear.  Proper way of saying it--Yahway Yireh.  Abraham called the place  where he offered up his only son .  Let's  review what was said there.  it is said to this day---in the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.  That is a prophetical statement of the future.  it is in Jn. 8:56  Jesus tells them Abraham saw my day.  there it is  it shall be seen, in the mount of the Lord.  Mt. Moriah.  it isn't talking about supplying needs but of supplying Jesus as Lord.  The ram in a thicket was for the offering for the place of a future Lamb, Jesus.  Of course to have Jesus is to have all your needs supplied.

It is amazing to see this very old prophesy and no way could Abraham know other than God told him.  Moriah  which we know is where the cross was on that mt. region.  Calvary hill is the part of it.  it is interesting to note  Gen. 3:15.  there the bruise the head is fatal to a serpent. that is where the poison is  we see (poison of sin).  Another name for Calvary is Golgotha, the hill of the skull.  That is the head.  According to findings of Ron Wyatt, the sword that cut off Goliath's head is underground beneath where the cross stood.  Jesus is the seed of the woman that crushed the serpent's head----get it?.  next time Exodus, God bless.
