LIFE SCRIPTS

Our life's patterns transformed by God's grand story

15 “Make upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle. 16 Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide, 17 with two projections set parallel to each other. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way. 18 Make twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle 19 and make forty silver bases to go under them—two bases for each frame, one under each projection. 20 For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, make twenty frames 21 and forty silver bases—two under each frame. 22 Make six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle, 23 and make two frames for the corners at the far end. 24 At these two corners they must be double from the bottom all the way to the top and fitted into a single ring; both shall be like that. 25 So there will be eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.
Exodus 26:15‭-‬25 NIV

Acacia wood was used to make frames of the tabernacle which were fitted with two silver bases each. Amazing how such a quantity of precious metals was used in the construction of the tabernacle. Silver in scripture symbolised cleansing and purification…a picture of the redeeming work of Christ right there in the old testament image of heaven. The acacia poles were to face all sides but were to be placed on top of two silver platforms each. Acacia wood…a symbol of man standing on top of pure silver…a symbol of purity and cleansing. On Christ the solid Rock we stand because all other ground is sinking sand. We find our place on the ground of forgiveness through Christ.
