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.
