Of temples and tabernacles

I finished the book of Exodus last week.  I have one further thought to what I wrote here.

The description of the "tabernacle of the congregation" is very detailed. Further, Exodus describes "washing," "annointing," the "robes" worn inside, as well as "HOLINESS TO THE LORD" inscribed on the outside of the building.

In short, the last third of Exodus is a description of a temple.  I'm glad to be part of a temple-building church.  The Church of Christ throughout the bible is one of temples, clearly the most important project that Israel had and completed after leaving Egypt.  The Church of Christ still is a church of temples.
