Sitting in the middle of the camp of Israel was the tabernacle, which was the center of their everyday life. Every facet from the daily services, the annual feast, the offerings they brought, to the building itself, all pointed to the Lamb of God. All this they accepted by faith. The plan of salvation has not changed. Just as they looked forward, by faith, to his first coming, we look back, in faith, to his life and death in our behalf, and forward, in faith, to the promise of his second coming. Therefore, there are great lessons to be learned from these object lessons God gave the children of Israel. Because the demands of life are so great, I have tried to make this book pure and simple.
