Journey to Christ Through the Tabernacle

Since 1965, Leonard Carter has devoted himself to studying the Tabernacle, the place where God's presence dwelled among the Israelites during their time in the wilderness. Carter's in-depth study of Scripture as well as the writings of Old Testament scholars (particularly the work of R.H. Mount, Jr.), coupled with his heartfelt desire to bring Christian believers to a deeper understanding of Jesus as revealed in the Tabernacle, has led him to write "A Journey to Christ Through the Tabernacle."
"The Old and New Testaments together offer a clear revelation of God's love to us," the author writes, "revealing Jesus Christ in minute detail as found in the design, materials, colors, furnishings and worship in the Tabernacle. This intimate revelation of God's Son is designed to lead to repentance and a life committed to serving Jesus Christ our Lord.
"Almighty God has revealed the story of His plan through His Holy Word, the Bible. But before the Bible was written, He gave His chosen people - the Israelites - the Tabernacle structure. The Tabernacle structure provided Israel with a preview that illustrates and prophesies the plan of salvation in the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ.
"The Tabernacle structure is a foreshadow of better things to come - not the exact image, but images that identify who the Messiah is. These images from the Tabernacle reveal Jesus as the Lamb of God, the Word, the Tabernacle, the Bread, the Betrayed One, the Rejected One, the Better High Priest - and the list goes on.
"My hope is that the reader's vision of the total Bible revealing a picture of Jesus Christ will be like going from a fuzzy small-screen TV to a wide-screen, high-definition television. My prayer is that the reader will see Jesus more clearly in all the Scriptures."
