When most people think of the Old Testament tabernacle, they picture an ancient tent,

distant and unfamiliar, something that feels far removed from everyday life.

But what if that sacred structure was actually designed by God to point us

directly to everything we have in Jesus Christ? In this study, fully furnished, finding all you need in Christ,

Scott invites us to step inside the tabernacle and discover that every detail from the altar to the

mercy seat was a divine preview of the Savior to come. Let's join Scott now. Today we

come to our final study in this wonderful, wonderful time we've had looking at the furniture in the Old Testament

tabernacle. We've discovered that truly we find all we need in Christ. We are fully furnished

in Him. And today we end where God brings us, and that is literally to the throne. When we left

off last time, we were looking at the mercy seat, the mercy seat,

which was a place of covering. I remember I said to you that there were three arcs. There is the

Ark of the Covenant. That's where the Mercy Seat was, but there was Noah's Ark and Moses' Ark.

Read carefully, did you know that Noah's Ark and Moses' ark both had pitch to seal them?

Those little arcs of safety for Moses and that big arc of safety for Noah and his family were sealed

with pitch. It's the same Hebrew word, pitch, the same Hebrew word as mercy seat. I love this.

This is the atonement. This is God's seal, God's way of salvation for us. All these things are

connected and all of these things point us to Jesus Christ. And like we've done in previous studies, I want to take you

today to the New Testament because the Old Testament is really just a pointer that points us to Christ

and points us to the fulfillment of the New Testament. When you come to Hebrews chapter 9, you really

come to a commentary on what we were reading in Exodus 25 about the Mercy Sea.

Hebrews 9, verse 2 says,

for there was a tabernacle made,
