The entire world today is seeking wisdom! Education is prevalent in every
city. Literally thousands of young and old alike are attending universities.

I WAS IN PRISON, AND YOU CAME TO ME (Matthew 25:36c)
"My testimony to my Christian Brothers and believers in Jesus Christ our
Savior. I want to thank the Lord for saving me from the life I was once
leading. First of all, I was living in darkness and I thought that I truly
loved the way I was.

1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the
LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall
not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent,
We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of
the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not
eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said
unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day
ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods,
knowing good and evil.

Today's Bible Study
In today's reading we complete the Book of
In today's reading we complete the Book of
Exodus. We again see in chapter 40 that the Tabernacle
was built according to God's directions, in perfect
obedience. Every detail is mentioned in the construction
and furnishing of the Tabernacle. The pattern for the
Tabernacle was given by the Lord, and it was followed
explicitly by the two Spirit-directed men God had chosen
to direct its construction and furnishing.
Today, God wants our tabernacle (our bodies) to
be holy, filled with His Spirit. Our bodies are similar
to the Old Testament Tabernacle in that they have three
parts: The spirit, which is the holy of holies; the
soul, which is the holy place; and the body, which is
the outer court. God begins with the inner parts and
works His way out, as we yield our spirit to Him and His
leadership. When we receive Christ as our personal
Saviour, we are sealed unto the day of redemption. Old
things are passed away; behold all things are become
new. Our desires change from worldly lusts to things of
the Lord; and, as we daily submit ourselves unto His
leadership, we become Christ-like and usable in God's
service.
The Book of Exodus began with a mob of miserable
slaves in Egypt, but ends with a nation in fellowship
with God and on its way to Canaan. This is truly a book
of redemption!
Of necessity, our comments have been brief on
the Tabernacle and its furnishings. Every piece of the
Tabernacle had a special significance. In order to
understand the relationship of the Tabernacle as a whole
to the Jewish people in their relationship to God, I
would suggest that you read Dr. M.R. DeHaan's book
titled, The Tabernacle.
