What is right way to worship God? Throughout history, God has chosen to provide a way for man to worship Him, and for nearly five hundred years, the Tabernacle was that way. Through this detailed study of the Tabernacle, you will learn that there is a right way and yet many wrong ways to worship our Creator. The purpose of this study is to invite readers to worship God in God's way through the "Object Lesson" of the Tabernacle, Jesus Christ. In the very first lesson of this book, you will observe that centuries before the Tabernacle was constructed, God taught His people about worship. You will discover that earthly Tabernacle and all its components hold a spiritual significance and was actually a model of the "true Tabernacle" in heaven, where Jesus Christ is eternally worshiped a King of kings and Lord of Lords. Inside these pages you will also find the interactive application sections that literally thousands have come to appreciate from the acclaimed Following God series
