David's Tabernacle
SERIES: GOD'S HABITATION. LESSON NO.2.
4. THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID.
Speaks of the truth of Praise, Worship, Restoration of the
Presence of God, Discipline and every other truth necessary
for the perfection of the Church.
The Ark (God's presence) now goes to David's Tent in order that God may
introduce a final truth before settling in Solomon's Temple.
Scriptures: Acts 15:13-18; Amos 9:11-15; 1 Chron. 1 5:16; 11
Sam.6:17-23. THE PROMISE. Amos 9.
(a) Close up the breach.
(b) Raise up his ruins and build it as in former days.
(c) Possess the remnant of Edom.
(d) Possess the heathen called by His Name.
(e) Grain and wine harvest - a quick work (Pentecost and
Tabernacle).
(f) Turn the captivity of His people.
WHO DOES THIS BUILDING?
"I will raise up the Tabernacle .... I will raise up his
ruins..... I will build it....... saith the Lord that doeth these
things" . This is not a new denomination of men's making, a
particular ministry but a sovereign work of the Lord.
WHAT WAS DAVID'S TABERNACLE?
Wedged between Moses' Tabernacle and Solomon's Temple, i.e. a
brief time period of 40 years between the historical worship of
Christianity and the perfect Church. Exuberant praise constantly.
There is only one piece of furniture. (The Ark). There is no
veil, form or tradition. Prophecy, musical instruments, dancing,
joy etc. - sharp contrast to Moses' pattern.
THREE MOUNTAINS. Psalm 125:2 - "As mountains around Jerusalem..
so the Lord is around about His people forever", There were 3 main
mountains about Jerusalem.
1. Gibeon - place of Moses' Tabernacle 1 Chron.21:29.
2. Zion - place of David's Tent.
3. Moriah - place where Solomon's Temple was.
Note:- lsa.2:2 - "last days ... the mountains of the Lord's house
(the Church) shall be established in the top of the mountains".
This means the Church will be established and grounded upon the
truths depicted in these 3 mountains. This shows that God is not
doing away with the teachings of Moses' Tabernacle (former truths)
for it was still set up in Gibeon. Neither is David's Tabernacle
the ultimate, but all three signify important truths in which the
Church must be grounded.
RESTORATION OF THE ARK. 1 Chron.l5.
Steps taken in the recovery of the Ark is a picture of the steps
we must take for His presence to be restored today.
1 . A desire for the return of the Ark.
God's people must have a hunger, a desperation for the
restoration of God's presence. All that it contained and all
it represents is being restored today. Note the significance
of its contents.
(a) The Rod - that budded = the anointing. It had the Name
of the High Priest on it and not the Name of some tribe,
or tribal leader. Speaks of using the authority of the
Name of the Lord against powers of darkness. The Rod in
the Most Holy Place is the fulfilment of the Candlestick
in the Holy Place.
(b) Two Tablets of Stone. This is typical of Holiness and
Purity and is a fulfilment of the Altar of Incense in
the Holy Place. Compare Moses' two experiences on the
Mount - broke the Tablets and rewrote them, Jesus was
broken at Calvary because of the sins of the people, and
then at Pentecost, the Word was written on fleshly
Tablets of the heart.
(c) Pot of Manna. God's Word. Manna in the wilderness.
This is the fulfilment of the loaves of bread in the
Holy Place on the Table.
(d) Book of the Law in the side of the Ark. Deut.31:24-30;
11 Kings 22: 8-20. Speaks of Josiah's restoration of
Israel. This Book was hidden and closed up. It was
re-discovered in Revival and is connected with coming
judgments, i.e. judgment for a failure to keep the
commandments it contained. Today God restores His
presence - He is opening the Book of Revelation.
2. A place prepared for the Ark. 1 Chron. 15: 1.
This is the day of preparation among God's people to
accommodate the Ark of His presence. A place must be
prepared in our hearts.
3. Levites set aside to carry the Ark. Vs.2,12-14.
Note their high qualifications, Lev.21. Only those set apart
for God will be instrumental in bringing back the presence of
God and all associated with it. God will use dedicated,
committed men.
4. Gathered all Israel together. vs.3.
We must be gripped by the vision of the coming together of
the Body of Christ if we want the Ark to return. All tribal
barriers are to come down. This is Jesus' prayer that they
may all be one.
5. Brought the Ark back with shouting, instruments of music,
singing, dancing, vs.28,16-29.
Praise and worship with instruments and great joy is vital
and necessary for the restoration of His presence in all its
fullness.
6. Offered 7 bullocks and 7 rams. vs.26.
A spirit of giving and sacrifice together with joy, singing
and dancing. These 2 go together. The no.7 speaks of
complete surrender.
