Summary

In this episode of Don’t Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study Exodus 35–40 and Leviticus and step into the symbolism of the tabernacle, where every detail quietly teaches the story of Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice. As the tabernacle is built, the people bring offerings with willing hearts, giving their very best to create a place where heaven and earth can meet. What may seem like simple materials and measurements begins to reveal something deeper. Every curtain, every color, and every piece points to a greater reality. This is not just about building a structure. It is about preparing hearts to understand the Savior and the way back into God’s presence. Through the sacrifices and offerings in Leviticus, we see a powerful picture of Easter. Innocent lives offered, blood shed, and everything pointing forward to Jesus Christ, the true Lamb who would give His life for all. What once was repeated daily in symbol is fulfilled completely in Him. Because of His sacrifice, the way is opened, not just for one person once a year, but for all of us to come into the presence of God. This episode invites us to see beyond the details and recognize the message they have been teaching all along. Easter is not just a moment in history, it is the center of everything. Every sacrifice, every symbol, and every step of the journey points to Jesus Christ, reminding us that through Him we are made clean, made whole, and invited all the way back home.

0:00.0	Hi there, welcome to Don't Miss This, a scripture study podcast with Dave Butler and Grace Freeman. Each week, we point out things in the scriptures that we love and think you don't want to miss. Thanks for listening. Hi there, I'm Dave Butler. I'm Grace Freeman. Welcome to Don't Miss This. Y'all, buckle up. Who has a seatbelt? Because it's time. Put one in your couch, put one in your... It's getting serious.
0:20.9	Yeah. If you're on a walk, you might need to even... This, it's time to really, we're going
0:26.6	into symbolism mode today in our lesson. So, um, which is good, which is great. I think symbolism
0:34.2	might be God's favorite language to speak of all of them.
0:39.3	Second is probably Chinese.
0:41.3	Because most of his kids speak Chinese statistically.
0:44.3	But number one, I think, is true, right?
0:48.3	I just don't know.
0:50.3	I just say how I arrived at that conclusion.
0:52.3	Because I remember a day, well, I was teaching somebody
0:55.7	to pray for their first time, and it was a Korea, and he said, I don't speak English. So, and I was
1:03.1	like, oh, I was like, don't, I was like, God speaks Korean, too. But in my mind, I realized that I,
1:09.7	that subconsciously, I thought, well, English is his first
1:12.7	language, you know, and he also knows how to speak all of the other ones.
1:16.7	So that I'll say, oh, that's actually really me-centered, you know?
1:20.9	But because, you know, statistically, more of his kids speak Chinese.
1:26.1	So I really sure.
1:27.1	But wow, welcome. statistically, more of his kids speak Chinese. It's really true. It's a second language, which we don't know.
1:28.7	But, wow, welcome.
1:31.0	And number one language is symbolism.
1:33.5	And it's all through Scripture, and I think we can train our minds to speak that language.
1:41.1	It can be so rich, it can be so fulfilling, scripture can just come alive,
