This amazing book by Rose Publishing brings to life the visual imagery given by God in Old Testament times of how difficult (impossible) it is for fallen man to approach Him in his pure holiness. Starting at the outside of the tabernacle, the materials (sea cow) are the coarsest and most common (signifying man) and all may enter in at the main gate (the gospel call given to all). As you progress through the Tabernacle and the sacrificial system, the materials get finer and finer, and the access becomes more and more limited ("For narrow is the gate, and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." Matt 7:14). Until at the end, one man alone is granted access to the Holy of Holies, almost a solid gold room (signifying God's holiness and purity).

This book makes real the complete and utter inability of wretched, depraved, sin-loving man to reach God. Ah, but then come two of the most beautiful words in the Bible:

"But God...."

But God....makes a way for sinners to be made right with Him. No amount of religion and good works can do it...we must rely on - and place our faith in - HIS provision. In Old Testament times, it was through faith in the sacrificial system, with an understanding that this system was a shadow of something greater to come.

We live in New Testament times, under the new covenant, and we understand God's plan in its entirety...and we know his name is Jesus. Dimly glimpsed in types and shadows in the Old Testament, gloriously fulfilled and revealed in the New Testament as the FINAL Lamb of the sacrificial system (Hebrews 9).

But God....has made a Way.

"Since the days of John the Baptist, the kingdom of heaven has been advancing with force. And forceful people are taking hold of it.....He who has ears to hear, let him hear." (Matthew 11:12, 15)

This book is for you if you have struggled with understanding the Old Testament...but you have heard people say that all of the O.T. points to Christ, and you want to know how. This book is for you if you want to understand more about progressive revelation, and how God slowly, methodically and progressively revealed his magnificent plan of Salvation over centuries.

The tabernacle describes so well the love of our Savior for His people and this book helps build a solid foundation for further study. I have found all the Rose books very informative, detailed, and easy to use. Their actual construction - hard covers with hidden spiral binding makes them great to use on small tripods in my Sunday School/Bible Study class I purchased this, my second, Rose Guide to the Tabernacle as a gift to someone who enjoys studying God's Word. An added plus is the great price for an excellent book.

This thorough book has excellent graphics. Especially helpful are the overlays that reveal the details of tabernacle coverings, contents of the Ark, etc.. The text is also detailed and appropriate. Included are overviews of the entire camp and maps of 40 years in the wilderness. The book's construction is sturdy. While permission to make hundreds of copies for class use is granted, many of the best graphics are on two pages (one opening) that are hard to copy given the size and the spiral binding.

Rose Guide to the Tabernacle with Clear Plastic Overlays and Reproducible Charts

This book was very helpful in my research of the Tabernacle of Moses. It was a very valuable resource for my work of developing Daily Devotionals for Teens (the section on Exodus about the Tabernacle).

The book is laid out well, has great visuals and pages can be copied for use in Sunday School or other study groups.

Good work and God bless!

Wow. I'm not exaggerating when I say, "wow". This is an absolutely stunning resource on Israel's Old Testament Tabernacle. Rose puts out some exceptional material as they faithfully equip the church of Jesus Christ to explore and teach the Bible and all things Christian. Rose's Guide to the Tabernacle is a 117 page hardcover and spiral bound book in the top tier of Rose's portfolio. This book is worth every penny. The authors start off exactly where they should: laying the foundational context for where the tabernacle fits in the grande story of redemption found in the scriptures. Creation, fall, flood, babel, Abraham, promises, covenants, slavery, redemption, law and worship! Enter the tabernacle; God's mobile worship center where He dwelt with His people, accepted their substitutional animal sacrifices for their sin and lead and guided them through Moses and Aaron. Here are some of the great features found in this book:

Extensively detailed charts comparing the Levites, Priests and the High Priest, Intercessors in the Bible, Jesus and the Ark of the Covenant, organization of the tribes around the tabernacle, the Jewish calendar and its feasts and festivals and many more!

Three different cutaway clear plastic overlays showing the most holy place, all of the coverings for its roof and the contents of the ark of the covenant.

Beautiful full or two page illustrations of the glory of God above the tabernacle, the high priestly garments, the duties of the priests in the courtyard and in the holy place, the journey of the ark from Sinai to its probable destruction by the Babylonians in 586BC, full color and highly detailed maps of the journey from Egypt to Sinai and much more.

If you are only able to purchase one resource on the Tabernacle, make it Rose's Guide. You will have virtually everything you need for study and further research in this one volume and you definitely will not be disappointed.

I received this resource free from Rose Publishing for a free, unbiased and honest review.

I received this book from my wife as a gift. It is the first Rose publishing product we own, it is spectacular and so well done. With great attention to detail and accuracy. I recommend this company!

This is the best photographic rendering of the tabernacle I have ever seen. The plastic overlays penetrate the mysteries of the Tabernacle.

I bought this book not knowing it would be a very good investment. I had a presentation to do on the Tabernacle and this book was very instrumental in the success of it. I am glad I made this purchase because it literally brought the story off of the pages.

great to have as a reference book and good basic overview of the tabernacle. Describes the materials and furnishings with some great pictures and also shows how these things represent the messiah Jesus Christ and the Gospel of salvation. Great book for someone starting out to study the tabernacle.

I purchased this book while I'm taking a class on the Tabernacle of Moses. The images are gorgeous and makes everything easier to remember. Will make a nice coffee table edition when I'm finished with the class as well.

Highly recommended for anyone interested in this topic.
