2. The Tabernacle was the place where God met with his People; now God meets with his People in Christ 'tis in and through him, we come to know or have the true Revelation of his Will, and enjoy his gracious Presence, &c. Those who would be accepted with God, and worship him aright, must wait at the door of this Spiritual Tabernacle.
Others understand by the Tabernacle, the Church, or Mystical Body of Christ, wherein God graciously dwells, and hath promised also to meet his People.
1. It was moveable, signifying the troublesome State of God's People, whilst they pass through the Wilderness of this World.
2. The Tabernacle had three places. 1. The outward Court, wherein stood the brazen Altar. 2. The Holy Place. 3. The Holiest of all. In the first, it typifies forth the visible or outward Form of the Church, in respect of the external Exercise of Religion and Worship, hither the common People may come. The second typified out the Spiritual State, or more close and holy Fellowship of the Church, which none have admittance into, but sincere and sanctified Persons, who feed upon the Spiritual and true Show-Bread, Jesus Christ. The third typified Heaven it self, or the Church of God triumphant, where Christ is set down in Glory, at the Father's right hand, to intercede for us.
