The Veil
The Veil prevented anyone from entering the Most Holy Place where the Ark of the Covenant was. The Veil was blue, purple and scarlet. Blue is the color of water, and red is the color of blood. Purple is the color of royalty - kingship. By the blood of Calvary and the water of baptism, the Son of Man, prince of peace, Jesus, was exalted to royalty - King of Kings.
Exodus 26:31 - "And thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made."
The Brazen Altar
Everything that happened in the Tabernacle began at the Brazen Altar. Animals were killed and burned. Since the Garden of Eden, God has required death for sin. At the altar, the debt began to be paid, the blood was shed, and remission of sins became possible. Without shedding blood, there can be no remission for sins. This animal blood appeased God until the perfect Lamb was slain - Jesus Christ. ALL remission of sins ultimately comes by HIS blood.
Exodus 27:1,8 - "And thou shalt make an altar... as it was shewed thee in the mount, so shall they make it."
The Court
The Tabernacle plan included only one entrance, and that was on the east side. Nearly all the pagan religions worshiped the sun god, facing east. God made them face west when they entered the Tabernacle. The single entrance typifies Jesus Christ, the ONLY door of our salvation. There is salvation in no other. We must turn our backs on all other gods.
Exodus 27:13-14 - "...the breadth of the court on the east side eastward shall be fifty cubits. The hangings of one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits: their pillars three, and their sockets three."
The Priests' Holy Garments
A priest is an intercessor between God and men. From its inception, the priesthood was the highest office a man could occupy. Accordingly, God instructed Moses to dress them appropriately. Holy garments would be glorious and beautiful. Herein is a great precept. Our appearance should reflect our value. The world would have us "dumb down," dressing grungy, sloppily, like worthless creatures. God would have us look holy, glorious, and beautiful. Are you a godly person? Dress the part!
Exodus 28:2 - "And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty."

During a service: I made a the statement ‘the Lord, was in the service. That He would take all the metal out of peoples bodies.’ His presence came and He began to remove all the problems from people.
Amen!
