Description
The Tabernacle of Moses:
The Journey from Wounded Child to Beloved Priest
(Book 1 of the Spiritual Development Series)
The Tabernacle of Moses isn’t merely an ancient worship structure or a prophetic symbol of Christ’s workâit is a carefully designed pathway that addresses the deepest wounds of the human heart. This book reveals how every element, every measurement, and every ritual was crafted by the God who knows our wounds and fears, specifically to guide wounded hearts into secure, intimate relationship with Him.
This is the journey of learning to receive love from YHVH.
For many of us, the struggle isn’t intellectual doubt about God’s loveâit’s the terrifying difficulty of actually believing it’s true for us. We know what Scripture says. We understand the theology. But something in us, often rooted in childhood wounds that whisper “you’re a mistake,” makes it nearly impossible to let that love penetrate past our defenses and into the wounded places that need it most.
The Tabernacle of Moses reveals that God designed a progressive journeyânot because He’s withholding His love until we prove ourselves worthy, but because wounded hearts need to approach healing safely, progressively, and completely. You cannot rush healing. You cannot skip stages. Each element of the Tabernacle addresses a specific wound in the precise sequence necessary for that wound to heal thoroughly before moving deeper.
The Fifteen-Stage Journey
From the moment you accept the invitation at the Gate, through the substitutionary sacrifice at the Brazen Altar that breaks the power of shame, past the Laver where truth must replace the deception that has defined you, to the Table of Showbread where you discover you have permanent belongingânot temporary acceptance based on performanceâthe journey continues with intentional progression.
The Golden Lampstand teaches that YHVH wants you to understand clearly, not remain perpetually confused. The Altar of Incense reveals that your voice matters in this relationship, that communication isn’t one-directional consumption of God’s truth but mutual expression. The Veil that once separated has been torn, and you can enter His presence directlyânot because you’ve earned access, but because the way has been opened.
Finally, standing before the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies, you experience the Shekinah GloryâYHVH’s manifest presence responding to a heart that has made room for Him. This isn’t the end goal; it’s the foundation. This is where you discover you are no longer just a recipient of God’s loveâyou are a priest, consecrated and set apart for intimate service in His presence.
The Wounded Child Becomes the Beloved Priest
This book traces the personal journey from intellectual knowledge to heart-level transformation. It addresses the reality that many of us have been stuck at the first stationâknowing Christ died for us but terrified to believe it’s actually, personally, unchangeably true. Through each element of the Tabernacle, specific fears are addressed, particular lies are exposed, and deep wounds receive the precise healing they need.
You’ll discover:
- Why progressive healing is essential, not optional
- How substitutionary sacrifice addresses the core wound of shame that keeps us from receiving love
- Why truth must replace deception before deeper intimacy can develop
- That permanent belonging isn’t earned through performanceâit’s who you are
- How understanding (not confusion) is God’s desire for His children
- That your voiceâyour expression, your questions, your honest communicationâmatters to God
- How to move beyond the veil into direct access to God’s presence
- What it means to stand before the Ark and experience the Shekinah glory
- Why the journey is portableâhealing isn’t location-dependent once the pattern is established within you
The Foundation for Everything That Follows
The Tabernacle of Moses establishes the first part of the first commandment: learning to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. But here’s the revelationâit begins by learning how YHVH loves you with all His heart, soul, and mind. You cannot give what you haven’t received. You cannot express love you haven’t experienced. The entire structure exists to help wounded hearts receive the love that has always been offered.
Through this journey, you discover:
- The healing is complete
- The relationship is established
- Perfect love casts out fear
- You know, at a level deeper than intellectual assent, that YHVH loves you
- You belong to Him
- Nothing can separate you from His love
- The priest’s garments have been placed upon you
- The consecration oil has been poured over your head
- You are no longer just a recipientâyou are a priest
Why This Journey Matters
This isn’t another study of Tabernacle symbolism. This is an invitation to walk the path God designed for hearts that know the truth but struggle to feel it, hearts that long for God but fear He might not really want them, hearts that have tried to take shortcuts to spiritual maturity only to find themselves circling back to the same unresolved places.
If you’ve spent yearsâperhaps decadesâstudying Scripture, attending services, serving in ministry, yet still wrestling with that quiet voice that says “not you, not really”âthis book is your roadmap home. The wounded child who stands outside the gate, terrified and hoping simultaneously, desperate for belonging but convinced it isn’t really possible, discovers that God knew exactly what that child would need to find their way into secure relationship with Him.
The number forty appears throughout Scripture in contexts of testing, preparation, and transformationâalways resulting in something new emerging from what was tested. The fifteen stages of the Tabernacle journey represent your own “forty”âyour season of testing that produces transformation. The wounded child who starts this journey isn’t who you are anymore. The capacity you develop, the trust you learn, the intimacy you establishâthese represent complete transformation achieved through complete testing.
The Invitation
“Let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8). Not a building where God visits occasionally, but a dwelling place where He lives with you in ever-deepening intimacy.
This book invites you to stop studying about God and start walking toward Him. To discover that the God who gave Moses exact specifications for this structure gave them because He knows exactly what wounded hearts need to find their way home. To experience the progressive healing that can only happen when you allow yourself to be led through each stage at the pace grace requires.
The wounded child is invited to come home.
The journey to becoming the beloved priest begins at the gate.
And YHVH has been waiting for you all along.
