In the briefest of terms today, we see that the tabernacle God gives his people is full of different signs of his presence. We notice especially his mercy, bread showing his presence, light, an altar at the entrance, then a place for cleansing with water. We see that all is accomplished according to God's plan, including those details which don't seem to be details a person would normally dream up. The plan of God is to be executed carefully and seriously. It is not child's play. Preparing the way for people to meet with God is a very serious business. Finally we see that the priests are clearly set apart. They are appointed and it is obvious who is a priest and who is not. This appointment does not have to do with the individual priest's holiness or natural abilities. He is not selected for that at all. Yet when the priest is selected he is dressed in a particular garment which indicates that he is the priest who may serve in this special role before God and for the people.
