The Jewish tabernacle was a type of <strong>the</strong><br />

Christian church. . . . The church on earth,<br />

composed of those who are faithful and loyal to<br />

God, is <strong>the</strong> "true tabernacle," whereof <strong>the</strong><br />

Redeemer is <strong>the</strong> minister. God, and not man,<br />

pitched this tabernacle on a high, elevated<br />

platform. This tabernacle is Christ's body, and from<br />

north, south, east, and west, He ga<strong>the</strong>rs those who<br />

shall help compose it. Through Christ <strong>the</strong> true<br />

believers are being represented as being built<br />

toge<strong>the</strong>r for an habitation of God through <strong>the</strong><br />

Spirit.<br />

An appreciation of <strong>the</strong> immeasurably high<br />

calling that God has given to <strong>the</strong> remnant church<br />

has in it a constraining power yet to be realized. As<br />

surely as <strong>the</strong> temple of stone and precious materials<br />

in Old Jerusalem was <strong>the</strong> wonder of <strong>the</strong> world,<br />

even so will <strong>the</strong> universe marvel at <strong>the</strong> splendor of<br />

<strong>the</strong> tabernacle, <strong>the</strong> church on earth, Christ's body,<br />

when it truly becomes <strong>the</strong> habitation of <strong>the</strong> Spirit.<br />
