February 24th, 2024 Shabbat-T'TZAVEH (We Are God's Tabernacle - Part 2)

This portion still has Moses receiving God's instruction for building the Tabernacle (Mish'kan) on Mount Sinai the first time he went up. First it speaks of the menorah (7-branch lampstand), which is the seven Spirits of God and Messiah, then it is about the anointing and sanctifying of the high priest and his family. This is their covering of clothes and garments of service. The garments of service in the tabernacle. It ends with the incense altar. All of these preach to us about us reflecting His glory. The menorah being the seven Spirits of God that should manifest in us when we walk with Him. Then it is about what our service is to Him in this life in the coverings and robes, and what they actually mean. Finally, in the incense altar, we see what our prayer life and interaction with God should be like.
