The word 'similitudes' upermost from Latin; is the same as the word 'parables' in Greek.

 The first object to meet ahead towards the tabernacle was the main gate of the fenced around sanctuary.

     "And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.  But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples." (MARK 4: 33, 34.) 

     When Jesus was surrounded by his enemies there was certain loneliness in him, and he said: "Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me"; which is worth more than the whole creation.   The prophet Eliyah likewise showed such sign of loneliness, he said "And I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away." And he afterward was sustained by a widow.

     A most encouraging letter I received on my recent ninth of Av birthday from a widow of Church Hill, TN; which says:  "Dear Eban, Thank you so much for the two DVD's that you sent to me.   Your teaching is so very wonderful and straight from God's word. May the Lord bless you as you share the word there in Jerusalem, I'm so excited to see what is going on there and it is truly leading us onward to our Lord Jesus Christ return back to receive us believers unto Himself."; this is worth than all gifts that I may receive on my birthday.

On faith assignments; fomenting perfect peace, honesty and understanding among all living beings.

     The similitudes above which the people of Israel carried with them for forty years in the wilderness together with the four centuries past dead body and dry bones of Joseph (EXODUS 13: 19); both seem most lifeless just as the dry bones of Ezekiel 37: 5, 6.   But:

     "Thus saith the Highest Almighty unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: and I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Almighty."

EZEKIEL 37: 5, 6.

      In this disclosure we shall "behold the tabernacle"  with all its vessels; alive on whom it is concerned: "... and He shall live with them ..."! (Revelation 21: 3). The Hebrew writing itself is in readable signs which somehow helps in the reading of the Tabernacle; though not everybody may notice it. 

      The twelve tribes of Israel  encamped orderly around the sanctuary; the tribe of Judah pitched their tents in the front of the sole gates on the eastern side ... for whom it was promised that the named Shilh (Genesis 49: 10), meaning: "To Whom It Belongs" ... should be revealed at his right time, the promised Saviour to every people: 'He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name'.  (JOHN 1: 11, 12).

     "The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be." (GENESIS 49: 10). People; is a plurality of living beings. 'Beth-lehem ... of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.' (MICAH 5: 2).

QUESTION:

Whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting?

     "... but not according to knowledge." Romans 10: 2.  'Knowledge', is opposite to 'ignorance'; most missunderstandings among humans are owed to ignoring each other, faith may be unseen without knowledge through which we may know "... the truth, the way and the life", that even a well educated roman procurator asked: "What is truth?", though the truthful "truth" stood before him and he did not know, neither could acknowledge it because of his ignorant mind, though most religious he could have been just as his very wife was (Matthew 27: 19).

The unavoidable second vessel to encounter a worshiper at entering the tabernacle's court gate was;

THE ALTAR OF SACRIFICE AND BURNT OFFERING.
Onto all humans that inhabit this planet: perfect peace, mutual understanding and honesty above all; be thoroughly accomplished within you.
     LIVING SIMILITUDES.

Even our body in myriad parts or members of it from head to feet, as the ancient egyptian hieroglyphics ... it is continuously being read and researched by qualified physicians; though, even through any routinely health check up ... (PSALM 139: 16).

     "Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thine book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them." (PSALM 139: 16).

Counselling with 'all the words of this life' in Acts 5: 20; actively is our daily activity.

     "And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them."

Exodus 25: 8.

 His will ... for dwelling; is not in the "sanctuary", which most of its vessels were made with the visible and sight catching gold, they spoiled from the Egyptians but:

      "AMONG THEM" ... though invisible to their views, but understood his message throughout the whole sanctuary or: The Tabernacle Of Testimony.  Three vessels in it: essentialy carried fire. Outermost on an altar: sacrifices were continuously burned, further inward seven flaming candles lighted the compartment, innermost on a golden altar; frankincense was burned continuously; with the risks that oxygen is being consumed through fire ... and oxygen is essential for life.

     Nowadays oxygen is slowly diminishing on this planet because of excessive pollution through fire, exhaust, chemical, fumes, etc. According to researchers' forecasts oxygen consumed by fire could end future life on earth.

   With the fulfilment of the Lamb of the Almighty which takes away the sin of the world (John 1: 29); all burnt offerings which only polluted the environments and much cruelty was caused to called lesser beings, formerly done for sin ... fully ended; when the living chosen sacrifice for sin to whom neither the least of human's compassion was bestowed, said: "IT IS FINISHED: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."   John 19: 30.

     Our faults because of being rebellious with our Creator was 'finished' on the Jerusalem skull hill, when our 'Yeshwah' salvation: Jesus Christ paid with his life and resurrection ... 'the Prince of life' ~ ACTS 3: 15. This made the altar below empty of fire and no more whatsoever sacrifices on it which could never cleanse us from sin: "But with the precious blood of Christ, as a lamb without blemish and without spot." (I PETER 1: 19).

The Third Vessel In The Yard Before Entering The Tabernacle Was; The Laver Of Brass.

     "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."  John 5: 29.

     Even the earth under us ... with continental layers of dry lands, widely extensive and deep liquid sea waters "The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land." (PSALM 95: 5) , and from beneath them bursting melted volcanos of above the top of a huge powerful deep inward magnetic star; are all of them ignored or unnoticed by most inhabitants on their surface.

     "And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land." (JONAH 1: 9) .

     Fearful earthquakes and tremblings, tornadoes, wavy roaring seas sweeping entire populations; are living warnings to every soul that we see, feel and suffer their consecuences.

"Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Highest of hosts." MALACHI 3: 7.

As prophesied in Daniel 12: 4; "knowledge shall be increased". Our great ancestors wandered out from our dry homeland in search of abundant water which is part oxygen. Through nowadays increased knowledge; oxygen is being searched in outer space.

Interestingly, the word "SPACE" is not found in the ancient original texts of the scriptures.

However, it is easily implied from the scriptures in the following:

"The heavens cannot contain HIM ..." (II CHRONICLES 2: 6).

"THOU hast covered me in my mother's womb ..." (PSALM 139: 13).

"... up into heaven, THOU art there ..." (PSALM 139: 8) .

"When I awake, I am still with THEE ..." (PSALM 139: 18) .

"... for Thou art with me ..." (PSALM 23: 4).

"... for in HIM we live and move and have our being ..." (ACTS 17: 28) .

"Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Highest. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Almighty."

JEREMIAH 23: 24.

     The Most invisible ALMIGHTY's presence is real "AMONG THEM" (EXODUS 25: 8). As well as round about you wherever you are now!! Psalm 20: 6. What is his name, and his Son's name, if thou canst tell? Prove. 30: 4. "For as the Father hath life in Himself; so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself."  John 5: 26, 27.

    The biblical tabernacle 'MISHKAN' in Hebrew, from a root for at least seven  meanings; covered numberless of subjects just as our very living bible itself is.

     "Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little." (Isaiah 28: 10, 13).
