見証的帳幕
什麼是見証的帳幕?
-帳幕是神與以色列人同在的地方;使以色列人與眾不同
-神同在如同 Snekinah榮耀; 法櫃是祂的腳凳
-為何不只用帳幕, 要加上見証?必要見証什麼?
-人來到以色列人中,必要摸到神的同在
-帳幕是表明榮耀; 如同燈台
-它本身沒有光,但它表明了光
-在新約中它是教會,不是個人的見証,是團體的
Tabernacle of Testimony is a peculiar
term; what is Tabernacle of Testimony?
Tabernacle is where God presenced Himself amongst the People of Israel
Tabernacle made People of Israel special because the Presence of God was there
The Presence of God was described as the Shekinah Glory
The ark of the covenant is His Footstool
So why not Tabernacle only, why add the phrase "of Testimony"
It must testify of something; It testifies of the Presence of God, the Glory of God
If people came amongst the People of Israel they would touch the presence of God
The Tabernacle speaks about the bearer of Glory; Like the Lamp stand
No light in itself, but it comes from a different source, but it bears the light
In New Testament terms it's the Church. Not just individual, but also the Corporate
