The Tabernacle Of King David's Life

Decent Essays
King David, though not a perfect man, was penned “man after God’s heart.” King David worshiped God with no reserve. He is attributed with organizing music for temple worship. David desired a place to worship and eventually erected a tent which was sometimes called “David’s tabernacle.” While this tabernacle was a dissimilar from the tabernacle that Moses erected, Robert Webber in Worship Old and New asserts, “There was no animal sacrifices. Levites led the people day and night in praising the Lord through song, musical instruments, and dance (1 Chron. 16:4).” However, king David was not allowed to build the temple of the Lord but his son Solomon would complete the temple where the worship was prepared by the singers and musicians.

    The divine adoption that God puts forth as foreseeing the future not only affects David but affects his people making it interrelated; the people have no idea there will be an heir but once it is evident that it was God’s choice in Solomon, David’s future child, reigning then there is a stronger belief in God by the people as well. The people must trust in God’s choice that he wanted David to have a son to continue his bloodline whether people favored David as king, or not. This plays as a political symbol that is placed on the future temple with political sentiments because the fate of the Davidic line and fate of the temple links politics and religion. This drastically develops Jerusalem as a holy and religious place by tying natural and cultural ideals by the people, with the new political and religious factors God set forth, as a whole. At this point, history is now intertwined because the future temple is part of the “royal house.”…

    During this time David seeked God in any area he could. David remained a student of God, and remained teachable. Saul was a broken and hurt man that was willing to do the same to the others.

    It was not in the glory of his reign, even though he had his portion of glory. However, his godliness was in his eagerness to accept the will of God and to humble his heart in repentance when he sinned. In addition, the Lord makes four covenants with David. These covenants that are established are a clear picture of a father-son relationship; a relationship that closely resembles what we have with…

    Hebrew Tabernacle

    After Jesus was crucified it is known the veil was torn in the Tabernacle between the Holy of Holies and the Holy Place, “At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.” (Matthew 27:51). Before reading Thompson’s commentary on this I always assumed it represented that the barrier between God and his people was opened, for Jesus made the way for us to have a relationship with him. This is true still, however the book of Hebrews dives deeper into the separation and creation of two different tents. Yes, the details and structure of the earthly tabernacle is important, but as Thompson points out for the author of Hebrews, “His interest is only in the significance of the separation of the tabernacle into two compartments:…

    Psalm 30 portrays the struggles of the life of faith within a brilliant edifice: The Jerusalem Temple, a powerful icon that portrays the faith of the community, the enduring presence of God and the sanctity of God’s promises to the Israelites. The Psalm is ascribed to David, but it is also dedicated to the construction of the Temple in 164 B.C. The title of the Psalm, “Thanksgiving and Deliverance”, gives us a sense of graciousness, which we should keep in our hearts when we read it and meditate on its message. At face value, the psalm sings a praise of thanksgiving from the psalmist towards the Lord for saving him “from going down to the pit” and the deliverance from “going down to the grave” (Ps. 30: 4 &10). However, the Psalm is an allusion towards our own struggles of the present.…

    The book of Hebrews is one of the longer letters in the New Testament aside from Paul’s letter to the Romans. As for authorship, Paul was once identified as the author but the language, style of the book and theology do not coincide with the way Paul would have composed it. However, it seems as though the author was a Christian scholar of some sort with knowledge of the Greek philosophy and the Hebrew Bible. In regards to the structure of the book, it is more similar to a sermon than a letter written to address apathy and the threat of persecution within the community. Furthermore it argued Jesus Christ’s superiority and to encourage spiritual growth to his audience.…

    Greek ceremonies and rituals were mainly performed at altars. These were typically devoted to one or a few gods, and supported a statue of the particular deity. Votive deposits would be left at the altar, such as food, drinks, precious objects. Sometimes animal sacrifices would be performed here, with most of the flesh eaten, and the offal burnt as an offering to the gods. Libations, often of wine, would be offered to the gods as well.…

    Jubilation for Victory in War: If we start by surveying the secular uses of the verb and its noun, we will see just what kind of enthusiasm we are dealing with. Isaiah compares the gladness that Israel will feel at the coming of the Messiah to the jubilation (yagilu) that warriors have when they divide the plunder (Isa. 9:3b). Habakkuk also uses the word to describe the joy that the Babylonians will have (yagil) when they capture the Hebrews like fish in a net (Hab. 1:15). Zephaniah extends this jubilation to Yahweh himself: "Yahweh your God is in your midst, a victorious warrior.…
