Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

The Tabernacle—its description and ministries—dominates fifty chapters in the Old Testament, while the creation of the entire world is described in just two.

Understanding the sacrifices, services, and priesthood of the Tabernacle is integral to a proper understanding of God’s redemptive program. This first recorded dwelling place of God clearly pictures sinful man, a holy God, and the incredible price required to bring the two together. A good grasp of the Old Testament Tabernacle is essential to understanding much of the New Testament, including more than half of the book of Hebrews.

David Levy approaches the Tabernacle simply, systematically, and scripturally, providing a resource for those with little Bible knowledge and those with many years of personal Bible study.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough treatment, January 7, 2002

This review is from: The Tabernacle : Shadows of the Messiah (Its Sacrifices, Services, and Priesthood) (See How the Tabernacle Relates to Jesus) (Paperback)

Levy presents a well-articulated, easily read treatment of the Tabernacle of Moses, its furnishings, utensils, services and priestly clothing and functions. A great book to read to see how God was foreshadowing His Son, Jesus, well before His incarnation. Levy clearly ties together Old Testament practices & theology, which we often ignore, and New Testament beliefs. I would recommend this to anyone interested in understanding: (a) more about the Tabernacle itself, (b) a deeper insight into Jewish practices and their foundations, (c) a fuller and richer understanding of God's plan of redemption and atonement, sanctification and regeneration, worship and communication with God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! Thought provoking, inspiring, November 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Tabernacle : Shadows of the Messiah (Its Sacrifices, Services, and Priesthood) (See How the Tabernacle Relates to Jesus) (Paperback)

This book really opened my eyes to the fact that God doesn't overlook even the smallest of details (like sockets that the curtain was hung from). Comprehensive, giving not only scripture references, but the original Hebrew text and contextual meaning. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to understand who God is and His desire to be with His people.

This review is from: The Tabernacle : Shadows of the Messiah (Its Sacrifices, Services, and Priesthood) (See How the Tabernacle Relates to Jesus) (Paperback)

Easy to read and understand. Material flows easily making the book hard to put down. Very informative and shows how every part of the tabernacle had a prophetic, redemptive and typical significance. A treasure to own and study over and over again.
