Promise 96 from Exodus 40:34,38

Ex. 40:34,38 - "Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle... For throughout all their journeys, the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel." - There is great anticipation of great things to come while reading the details of the building of the tabernacle. God was so specific in giving Moses the details of the materials, who would make things and even where items were placed. THEN after wall was completed and Moses did all that the Lord instructed him to do, the fulfilment of anticipation came. Verse 34 starts with the word "then", and here it is, all that we've worked for, all that we gave toward, all that we sacrificed for, has arrived. THEN the cloud descends, can you imagine the scene? Moses and all his people are gathered, thousands of them all gathered with eyes fixed on the tabernacle. You can hear the stirrings of the crowd and fingers begin to point in the air as various people spot the coming of the cloud and as it grows larger the closer it gets, the crowd gets more animated, as the cloud stops over the tabernacle and thunderous sounds rumbles out of it, lightening flashes through the cloud, the people hush in silence and begin to fall to their knees, one by one. And then the moment comes .... GLORY! Glory blasts itself into the tabernacle from the cloud and all faces hit the ground in one synchronised wave from the front of the crowd to the back. The presence of God's glory forces all to fall to the ground in abandoned worship. The weight of His glory fills the camp and they dare not depart from it. Verses 36 and 37 say, if the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle they would set out, but if it wasn't they would stay until it was taken up. Who could move from Thy presence O Lord? Hebrews 8:1-2 says, "We have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man." Jesus sits in the true tabernacle, the kingdom of heaven. Eph. 2:6 says, "God in His great mercy and love made us alive together with Christ and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the Heavenly places in Christ Jesus." We are surrounded by God's glory! When we reside in the realms of His kingdom, there the weight of His glory draws us into holy worship and oneness with Him. That which once could not be touched by man has come to dwell inside each of us who walk in obedience to the Lord's instructions. He fills us with His glory as Kingdom reality becomes ours, we too experience all that Jesus experiences as we are seated with Him.
