In this post, we journey inside the Inner Court of the Tabernacle and explore what this section of the tabernacle (or temple in later years) means for the Christian! It is possible for people of faith to see how their walk with God mirrors the various sections of the tabernacle, and here we will be looking at the Holy Place and what its furnishing represent, how they were used and what it means for the believer.

The Inner Court of the Tabernacle
This message shows how the Inner Court of the Tabernacle and Temple, also called the Holy Place, is a picture of our walk with God
If you feel as though you’re stuck in your walk, I hope you will know that God keeps it simple! There is no need to fear going deeper with Him!
You don’t need to be a Biblical scholar! It is about relationship!
As in most relationships, you learn more about each other as you spend time together! God wants us to grow in our relationship with Him and there are ways we can do that and the Inner Court of the Tabernacle
From Milk to Meat
1 Corinthians 3:1-3
Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. You are still worldly.
The Greek word for milk here is “gala” and Strong’s Concordance
We need to move past our infancy in Christ and take steps toward our growth! And the Inner Court of the Tabernacle is a picture of that growth as we progress from one stage to another.
As babies, we are on milk for a time but then the time comes for us to start eating food. God wants no less. Our goal should always be growth!
The Inner Court of the Tabernacle shows us three furnishings that represent our deeper walk with God.
If you have not yet listened to the audio message on the Outer Court of the Tabernacle, I would recommend visiting that post first and then coming back here so that you get the full picture of the Tabernacle.

Hi Diane! What a wonderful addition to your blog. Yes, audio because I can listen in the background while I do other tasks online. I’d love to know what software you use to upload it to your site. Blessings to you! Sharing on Pinterest and Twitter.
Thank you so much!! Actually Sarah I just use my iPhone voice memo app and it has a share button so I upload it to my files and then add it to my media on WP
This was so interesting, thanks for sharing. 🙂 I love the symbolism God uses! All these tiny details God puts into His instructions, so far before Jesus was even born, that all point directly to Jesus, make His life, death & resurrection so undeniable.
Amen and thank you Ashley!!!
The symbolism is so beautiful! I really like the symbolism of leavening/sin and the shew bread.
Thank you Maegan!!
Great message! Thank you so much for sharing with us! 🙂
Thank you so much!

I so appreciate that!

Thank you!!
Thank you so much! We or should I say the majority of Christians of the Western world really have no clue, I have understood the sanctity of Communion, but not to this degree – oh how lightly it is taken in our churches! I can say this because I have been involved in several different denominations and visited numerous others. To date I have not found one that really displays the Holiness of Communion. The explanation of the Menorah and the Altar of Incense I knew. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Thank you so much Debra!! I am so glad you were able to take something away from it!! That is my prayer for all the Jewish roots posts!!
