| thou shalt make an altar |
| There are a lot of details in the outward construction of these symbols of their system of religion. |
| Hidden in many of these items and descriptions is also symbols and metaphors of their deeper meanings on a physical level and on a spiritual level. |
| As we have seen the altars were not piles of stones. Those altars were not a place to burn up sheep and if you think so you have been deceived by the Sophistry. But those altars and the Levites were instruments of the social safety net of their society. They were the institutions that provided the free bread for the needy of society the widows and orphans who fall on hard times. |
| All the city states had some sort of social safety net to ensure the loyalty and fealty of certain classes of citizens or central treasury to provide protection with walls and armies. They had courts and a hierarchy that exercised authority one over the other. All these institutions like the cities of blood or the dainties of rulers and their tables were a snare. |
| This mobile tent became the pinnacle of a diversified system that put most of the responsibility for the weightier matters on a division of power and choice that was spread amongst all the people equally. |
| There was no centralized power, no king, but everyman did what was right in his own eyes. This is what God wants but he does not want you to follow he who has a wicked eye.[1] |
| The rings and curtains and vails are about boundaries of our own inner understanding. If you do not repent and seek the kingdom of God your eyes will be dimmed. You need to have the lamp of righteousness. |
| These instructions are about far more than aesthetics. They were means of dealing with moral brokenness, they served as reminders, and they and the living altars of Israel were designed to form the people into perpetual surrender to a responsibility to care for one another through freewill offerings instead of the forced offering of Egypt and most city states of the past and all nations of the world today. |
| The tabernacle was a symbol of that way of righteousness taught by Moses and again by Jesus. It was a reminder in its symbolic construction of this moving monument echoed the patterns of the kingdom. It also housed a unique golden box called the "ark of the covenant" and "ark of the testimony" and "ark of the LORD". But with all its mystery it was not the tabernacle, nor its contents that made Israel a great nation. What made Israel great was the willingness of the people to obey the LORD's directions in their heart and mind in order to be a "government of the people, by the people, and for the people". The viable republic that resulted from this conformity to the righteousness of God, like the early Church, operated within the "perfect law of liberty" by "freewill offerings" only, which in the New Testament were called the "charity" and "love" of the Corban of Christ because they had no need for forced taxation nor the men who "call themselves benefactors" but "exercise authority[2] one over the other" in order to provide a social safety net for the care of the needy through pure Religion. They followed The Way of righteousness in fellowship and the righteousness of God with no king or no legislature of the world, and no covetous practices which makes men merchandise, curse children, and is idolatry.[3] |
