Yasha and the Tabernacle

The intricate instructions that God gave Moses for the construction of the Tabernacle and its elements are almost stupefying. The scope covers the most infinitesimal details. The structure and sacred elements birthed from the divine blueprint are exquisite and breathtaking. The tabernacle reveals itself as a type and shadow of the redemptive plan, that a merciful and loving God created to reconcile His prize creation to Himself. Yasha, a young girl sets out to meet her Abba. She seeks Him as she sojourns through the Tabernacle of Moses and David. With each element of the Tabernacle, she meets a colorful character who either assist her or tries to hinder her in her quest to find her Abba (Father). Her tenacity and diligence are eventually rewarded in a climatic, breathtaking meeting with her majestic Abba. After overcoming the initial awe of His presence, Yasha finds a gracious Father who is delighted to lovingly spend time with her. They ultimately spend time walking together in the cool of the evening. Let us remember the price has been paid, and the invitation has been extended, for us also to spend time with our loving, Abba.
