are many types and shadows in the OT - which God in His wisdom
designed as parables as it were for the NT church, the One New Man
composed of Jews and Gentiles. Believers at the beginning of the
church age were almost entirely Jews. Some Gentiles at that time
became Jews through conversion, of whom Luke was probably one. By 320
AD under Emperor Constantine, the church was now predominantly
Gentile - and the latter were now persecuting the Jewish believers,
completely ignoring the stern warnings of the Holy Spirit through
Paul in Romans 11. </span></span></font>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">J. Sidlow Baxter wrote a text
called “Explore the Book.” The Titles in the Tabernacle Section
come from his book. It is in the light of “Protocol” that we give
credit where credit is due. “Warfare by Honor” by Suuqiina and
Quamaniq - set a wonderful example for such carefulness.</font></p>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">It is interesting to note how
God confirms His most important leadings. When Moses completed the
assignment of the Tabernacle - God signally came upon it in His
Shekinah Glory, expressing His approval upon every detail. When
Solomon completed the Temple following 7 ½ years of construction -
the Glory of God came down upon that temple, so that 120 priests were
unable to stand to minister.</font></p>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">When Jesus built His Church
exactly according to His Father's commandment and plan - on the Day
of Pentecost God signally expressed His approval on all His Son had
performed!</font></p>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">And when Elijah rebuilt the
broken down altar of Jehovah on Mount Carmel, using the 12 stones
representing the 12 tribes of Israel - the fire of God fell upon his
sacrifice, not only consuming it, but even the altar, stones and
surrounding water. The prophets of Baal were completely defeated
before the children of Israel!</font></p>

remember God's unusual approval upon Tabernacle, Temple and Church!
