What was the Holy of Holies shaped like? What is the New Jerusalem shaped like? (Rev 21:16) What does this mean?

The Holy of Holies was shaped like a perfect square, and the New Jerusalem is also shaped like a big, perfect square, or cube, according to the Bible. This shape shows that the Holy of Holies and the New Jerusalem are special and perfect places where God lives with His people. It means that one day, we will all be together with God in a perfect place.

How was the tabernacle like the garden of Eden? What were the three areas for each?

The tabernacle was like the Garden of Eden because both were places where people could be close to God. In the Garden of Eden, there were three special areas: the outer area where animals lived, the garden itself where people lived, and the middle, called the Tree of Life, where God’s presence was strongest. The tabernacle also had three areas: the outer courtyard, the Holy Place where priests did their work, and the Holy of Holies where God’s presence was strongest. Both places showed how people could come closer and closer to God.

What were the six main parts of the tabernacle that God had Israel make?

The six main parts of the tabernacle were:

  1. The Outer Courtyard, where people could bring their sacrifices.
  2. The Bronze Altar, where the sacrifices were burned.
  3. The Bronze Basin, where priests washed their hands and feet.
  4. The Holy Place, where priests did special work for God.
  5. The Lampstand, which gave light inside the Holy Place.
  6. The Holy of Holies, where the Ark of the Covenant was kept, and where God’s presence was strongest.

What do the six main parts of the tabernacle mean for us now?

The six main parts of the tabernacle show us how we can come closer to God. The Outer Courtyard reminds us to give our lives to God. The Bronze Altar shows that Jesus died for our sins. The Bronze Basin tells us that we need to stay clean by doing what’s right. The Holy Place shows how we can pray, read the Bible, and worship God. The Lampstand shows that God’s light is always with us. The Holy of Holies reminds us that one day, we will be with God in heaven.

What was the Holy of Holies shaped like? What is the New Jerusalem shaped like? (Rev 21:16) What does this mean?

The Holy of Holies was shaped like a perfect square, just like the New Jerusalem will be. This means that the New Jerusalem will be a perfect, holy place where we will be close to God, just like how the Holy of Holies was the place where God was closest to His people in the tabernacle.
