2 Romans 3:23-25 The Brazen Altar Build an altar of acacia wood, three cubits high; it is to be square, five cubits long and five cubits wide. Exodus 27:1 The Laver Make a bonze basin, with its bronze stand, for washing. Place it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it. Exodus 30:18 The Golden Table Make a table of acacia wood - two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high. Overlay it with pure gold and make a gold molding around it. Also make around it a rim a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim. Exodus 25:23-25 The Altar of Incense Make an altar of acacia wood for square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high - its horns of one piece with it. Overlay the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and make a gold molding around it. Exodus 30:1-3 Golden Candlestick Make a lampstand of pure gold and hammer it out, base and shaft; its flower-like cups, buds and blossoms shall be of one piece with it. Six branches are to extend from the sides of the lamp stand - three on one side and three on the other. Exodus 25:31-32 The Ark of the Covenant He took the Testimony and placed it in the ark, attached the poles to the ark and put the atonement cover over it. Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle and hung the shielding curtain and shielded the ark of the Testimony, as the Lord commanded him. Exodus 40:20-21 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, though faith in his blood. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:11 Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty. John 6:35 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne. Revelation 8:3 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12 This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. Hebrews 8:10 This Vacation Bible School Tabernacle is available to other churches for Vacation Bible School or for other learning opportunities such as tabernacle workshops. It was made to be mobile and can be set up inside as well as out. This Tabernacle is built at half scale, the measurements 18x30, the courtyard measures 40x80.
