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 />
