FROM DELIVERANCE TO GLORY
Goats Hair and Ram Skins – Exodus 26:7-14
The linen curtains are referred to as “the Tabernacle” in verse 1 of this chapter. The curtains of goats hair are called a covering.
For those who would tell us that there are many ways to enter into the presence of God I would say this; God has sure gone to a lot of detail to show us that there is only one way in which He can be glorified, and that is by way of His design and His plans
Where the Tabernacle seems to be a difficult way into the presence of God; He has made the way through His Son by His cross.
