Dissertation Outline

Introduction

This dissertation explores the connection between the pattern of Moses in the tabernacle (Exodus 40) and the seven moments of worship in the New Testament as taught by Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 14:26. It examines how each element of the tabernacle corresponds to specific aspects of worship, providing a theological and practical framework for contemporary worship practices.

Chapter 1: The Tabernacle of Moses (Exodus 40)

• The Gate: This is the entrance to the tabernacle, symbolizing the way into God's presence.
• The Fire Altar: This altar is the place where sacrifices are made, representing atonement and dedication.
• The Laver: This is the place where priests wash themselves, symbolizing the cleansing of the conscience by the teaching ministry.
• The Table of Showbread: This table holds the bread of the Presence, signifying God’s provision and sustenance for His people.
• The Lampstand: This lampstand is the source of light within the tabernacle, representing illumination and guidance from God.
• The Altar of Incense: This altar is the place where incense is burned, symbolizing the prayers of the people rising to God.
• The Ark of the Covenant: This is the place where God's presence dwells, representing His covenant and relationship with His people.
