The Tabernacle
The Tabernacle A few key elements about the making of the Tabernacle are that God was the architect of the sanctuary. It was made from offerings brought by the people (Exodus vs. 1-2), which indicates that God was concerned about the heart of the giver just like he is today. It was to be a place of consecration and structure as well as a repository for the law (Ten Commandments). Most importantly, it was a replica of heavenly things or the worship experience in heaven. As Moses instructed the people on how to construct the Tabernacle, he did it according to how God instructed him on the mountain which was based on his heavenly experience. The construction of the Tabernacle and Moses’ experience on Mount Sinai where he was given the Ten Commandments go hand in hand. In addition to the Ten Commandments, he was given very detailed and specific instructions on how to construct the Tabernacle or “place of worship” where God dwelled among the people. The Ten Commandments represented the moral law and the Tabernacle represented the spiritual law and they were companion one to the other. The Ten Commandments represented the holy standards of God for HIS people. The Tabernacle, its contents and all things associated with it represented God’s structure for our lives. It is also a spiritual blue print of how to live and how to treat those we live with who from time to time sin against God and us. This is evident by the very specific and well-structured specifications on the layout of the Tabernacle and the worship experience. The layout of the Tabernacle consists of the following features which each had very specific dimensions and placement within the Tabernacle: The Ark of the Testimony, The Mercy Seat, The Table, The Golden Candlestick, the Curtains of the Tabernacle, Goats’ Hair Curtains, The Covering and the Boards, The Bars, The Vail, A Hanging Door, The Tabernacle Altar, The Court, Dimensions of the Court, Olive Oil for the Lamp.

    Ten Commandments Vs Hammurabi Essay

    Primarily, Hammurabi’s code and the Ten Commandments share similar and different laws used to control people of different societies. Hammurabi’s code was created to govern the people of Babylon’s behaviour, and set standards for his people. The central theme for his code was equal justice between his people. The Ten Commandments were created to help believers of God keep away from sin. Many biblical versions of the Ten Commandments were created. As a result of Hammurabi’s code and the Ten Commandments the people learnt how to follow and obey their king or religious leader, and respect one another as…

    The Temple and Synagogues in Jesus’ Day

    The Temple is building where divine beings are worshiped. God told Israel to build him a temple and worship him there. He rewarded them by showing up there in Spirit. In the New Testament, God’s people, not a building, are the temple. This is because the Holy Spirit lives within the hearts of those who follow Christ (Follow the Rabi, n.d.). However, the Temple of Jesus’ day was the ancient center of Jewish worship where sacrifices were performed. From the time Solomon had it built in 957 BCE to its destruction by the Romans in 70 CE, this was where sacrifices and other religious rituals were performed. This first Temple was partially destroyed by the Babylonians in 587 BCE and rebuilt in 516 BCE. All that is left of the Second Temple is the Wailing Wall, also known as the Western Wall or the Kotel. This is actually part of the retaining wall, not a wall of the building itself. The Temple was located on a platform above and behind this wall; it is as close to the Temple sanctuary as Jews can go now that a Muslim shrine, called the Dome of the Rock, occupies the site (Rich, 2012).…

    Divine Presence: The Dome Of The Rock

    Like I have mentioned for the ark in the synagogue. The architecture and religious significance of the Dome of the Rock and its visual manifestations in works of art are the tradition of the Divine Presence. The ark is also a signification to the heaven circling the earth, it is the same interpretation in the Dome of the Rock. The Temple Mount is also known as a good example of Jewish art in Jerusalem. The roofer top is beautifully well painting and decorated in gold, it is to represent the sun and symbolic of how important God is and it is to reflect forward to people the illumination of their temple. We could understand the feeling of God, watching over us in peace in the temple. We saw it in class, that it is a place that get a lot of visitors…

    Hebrew Essay: Continuity And Cultural Diffusion

    First, the Code of Hammurabi and the Ten Commandments represent cultural continuity and cultural diffusion. The Code of Hammurabi, the laws that dictated the lines along with the Babylonians should live, influenced the Hebrews in the creation of the Ten Commandments. In the Code of Hammurabi, the Babylonians utilized the concept of lex talionis, or the law of retaliation equal to offense; the Hebrews used this same concept in the creation of the Ten Commandments. The Hebrew priest wrote the Ten Commandments on steles; the Babylonians first found these steles, and wrote the Code of Hammurabi on them. The Ten Commandments paralleled the purpose of the Code of Hammurabi: to explain the relationship between man and God. Just as how Hammurabi climbed a mountain and received the Code of Hammurabi from the Babylonian chief God, Marduk, Moses climbed Mount Sinai, encountered God, and received the Ten Commandments. Second, Lilith the Goddess of the Euphrates River in Babylonian religion, represented continuity from the Babylonians to the Jews; the Jews however invoked the Goddess Lilith with a different meaning from the…

    Trinity Church Observations

    I arrived at Trinity Church on Sunday between the hours of 11am and 12pm. While I was observing or ‘people watching’ I noticed quite a few people going to and from Trinity Church. Most people were families including mothers, fathers, child or children, while others were just alone. All dressed fairly nicer than the random people walking the streets of New York City. While there were many families I could have observed, I chose one family in particular. The whole family was dressed in what I would describe as their Sunday best. The mother was wearing what seemed to be a turquoise knee-length dress since her big puffy coat was in the way, with black shoes; the father was wearing a black coat and a pair of black slacks and nice shoes, and the little girl I assumed to be their daughter was wearing what appeared as a pink dress or skirt with a pink winter jacket flaunting, white stockings and white shoes. They seemed like a happy family as they walked into the church at approximately 11:10. As I previously mentioned, the family had on their winter coats and jackets. The weather was quite chilly out, the wind making it feel as though it was 30 degrees out. I was sitting there with my winter coat on with a scarf and gloves. Seeming as though it was a Sunday early afternoon, the foot traffic was not too bad, but since mass started at approximately 11:15, many people were making their way into the Trinity Church at this time.…

They had a rich spiritual heritage, documented through their magnificent pictographs and petroglyphs, songs, dances, and legends.

    Gender is a concept society often challenges whether by males or females, living up to traditional ideas causes constrictions to the individual. “The Altar of the Family” written by Michael Wilding suggests that conforming to traditional ideas or stereotypes provides constrictions to an individual’s beliefs. The author uses third person narrative in order to position the reader. Characterisation invites the reader to be critical of the father’s perspective on masculinity. Figurative language emphasises the opposing ideas of masculinity and setting described in the text produces different environments in which diverse ideas of gender are challenged.…

    Jewish Places of Worship

    Over time the location and ways in which people of Jewish descent ritualize their religion has changed. If one reviews the history of the Jewish faith it is seen that these changes parallel many of the bigger events that occurred in the past. The most significant change in how the religion was worshipped occurred when the exile of the Jews took place. This caused Jews to be forced away from their temples that they had become accustomed to worshipping in. The Jewish people were no longer able to sacrifice, but prayer could continue. From this point on, the Jewish people never returned to worship based upon a central temple and prayer outside of temple occurring in only a synagogue. Having been forced away from their traditions, they needed to adapt their religion in order for it to continue. They continued to pray three times each day and followed the general tradition of temple service. Yet, they were now able to pray at home or in places other than a synagogue or temple. From here, the synagogue began to develop as the major house of worship for Jews, rather than a place of worship second to the temple and used only for prayer and study.…
