And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them; That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their fathers, who were the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered: And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle.
And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with Him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the Ark of Testimony, from between the two cherubims: and He spake unto him. (Num. 7:1-3, 89)
After following all the instructions concerning the tabernacle of the Lord and then setting it up in the center of the camp, Moses performed all the rituals God had directed to sanctify the tabernacle as holy and dedicate it to the Lord with offerings from each tribe of the children of Israel. Each offered free-will offerings unto the Lord to bless the Lord and the tabernacle where God would meet with the people. Moses went in to the tabernacle to meet with God and the Lord spoke unto him from between the cherubims which stood over the mercy seat where the blood of the atonement was poured.
God accepted the offerings from His people and showed Himself unto Moses and spoke from the Ark of the Covenant. The people offered of themselves and gave willingly unto the Lord and the Lord was pleased with all that was offered in dedicating the tent of meeting and sanctifying it unto the service of the Lord. When all was done He spoke to Moses, the prophet of God, from between the cherubims which stood atop the Ark of the Covenant and looked over the mercy seat. God met with Moses following the dedication of the tabernacle.
Today, our meeting places are not the dwelling place of the Lord but simply campuses for the gathering of His people. God dwells within those who are His, who have surrendered to Him on His terms of repentance and faith, and received Him by grace through faith in Him and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary. The Israelites dedicated the tabernacle, and later the temple, unto God, and today, we the people of God dedicate ourselves unto His service as His people and His Church. Those who are saved by His grace and born again are committed unto Him and offer ourselves as living sacrifices unto God, new creatures in Christ living the life we were meant to life, and eternal and abundant life in Him and through Him who dwells within us.
God has sent those of us that know Him out into this world to reach the lost that they might be saved from sin. He desires that His people strive to be holy and obedient unto Him that we might minister to those around us who are hurting and in need as He provides. We serve others, equipped with the Word of reconciliation and righteousness, rightly divided and fitly spoken, that they may see Christ in us, the hope of Glory. Our GOD has commanded us to love one another with an unfeigned love, even as He first loved us, and to disciple one another in the Word of GOD so that we may all grow in grace and in the Knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Our Lord has commissioned those who are His with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to go where He sends us in the power of the Holy Spirit. As we go, we are to proclaim the Good News of forgiveness through repentance and reconciliation with the Father through faith in His Son, that those who believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah of GOD might have life in His Name.
GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to faith in Christ and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD, forgiveness from GOD, and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
