| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Scriptures are real podcast. |
| 0:19.0 | This is the podcast where we talk about elements of the scriptures that have become real to us and thus allow us to draw more power into our lives, which I think is so important because we need that power in our lives today. I'm your host, Kerry Mealstein, and this will be a short cast, |
| 0:37.7 | probably more of a mid-range cast, where we're going to talk about the |
| 0:41.7 | tabernacle, because quite a bit of the reading today is about the skilled artisans who |
| 0:46.4 | create the tabernacle and about building the tabernacle itself, and I think that's worth |
| 0:50.6 | just thinking about and talking about. This is a lecture I do at length at Education |
| 0:55.8 | Week and elsewhere, and I'm working on a book on this topic, although it's been shelved a |
| 1:00.0 | little bit as I've got some other projects that I've started to work on first, but I'll get back |

| 1:34.5 | celestial kingdom, but he comes on earth on occasion for a moment. And when he does that, he |
| 1:41.7 | tabernacles here, and he does so in a tavernack or in a temporary dwelling place. |
| 1:46.7 | It's also called the tent of the presence. |
| 1:49.7 | This is a place where he is, you can tell he is there. |
| 1:54.0 | His presence is obvious as the cloud or the pillar of fire is there. |
| 2:02.4 | And so they know they can come into the presence of God in that tabernacle. It's also called the tent of meeting. That's a real focus |
| 2:08.9 | and highlight of this. This is where mankind can truly meet God. This is where we can come into |
