Theme of the Month: The Secrets of God’s House

“And goats’ hair, and rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins” (Exodus 25:4-5).

The first additional covering was the “tent” of the tabernacle and was woven of goats’ hair.

A he-goat can climb the steepest hill. The steepness of the hill does not discourage because it is accustomed to graze at the top. It looks very noble as it climbs upward, seeking heights. That too is how we ought to walk. The Christian life is like climbing a very high hill. Do you want to enjoy the presence of God? Do you want to see the glory of God? You have got to climb hills of difficulty, refusing discouragement and with no turning back.

The next covering of the Tabernacle was of rams’ skins dyed red (Exodus 26:14). It covered the tent completely, and outside where it hung down, you could see only the red. This again is a type of the provision made by our Lord to keep us all covered by His Blood. And in the Old Testament interval we have the long history of the offering for sin of the blood of bulls and of goats and of rams—all pointing forward to Him.

The last covering was of badgers’ skins. It covered the whole Sanctuary – the whole Tabernacle. The badger is extremely watchful over its young ones. It is always on the watch, and will not allow any other animal to come near and attack them. So, by the covering of badgers’ skins, we learn a further lesson, namely that our Lord watches over us as an eagle over its young (Deut. 32:11-12) or as a shepherd watches over his sheep (Ezek. 34:11).

The sick, the suffering, the needy, the needy, the poor, must be shepherded, but where are the men who will be God’s true shepherds? We need to pray: ‘O God, give to Thy Church true shepherds who, like the badger with her young, will watch over us’.

🙏🙏 Praise The LORD 🙏🙏
