(2026_07_17) - Understanding the Heavens 1 - The Essence of The Tabernacle/Temple – Sophomores BM - Pastor David Diya

In this episode of the sophomores brethren meeting, our Pastor taught on understanding the heavens and tabernacle. He explained that heaven means setting apart, and it is where God is enthroned as seen in Psalm 103:11 and Isaiah 66:1-2.In addition we saw that there is the heaven and the heaven of heavens as seen in 1 Kings 8:27. It was explained that the heaven is the heaven of the earth as seen in Gen 1:1, while scriptures such as 2 Cor 12:3-4 and Rev 4:1-2 shows that the heaven of the heavens is where God is enthroned: the paradise or third heaven. From this, it was concluded that there are three heavens, together forming the heavens.Furthermore we saw that the pattern of the tabernacle that was given to Moses was patterned after the heavens as seen in Exo 25:8-9. The tabernacle consisted of the Outer Court, Holy Place, and Most Holy Place which was a pattern of the heavens. Finally, we established that the understanding of tabernacle is needed since our journey to the salvation of our souls is after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the Lord is planning to make a tabernacle among men as seen in Rev 21:3.
