Overview

The temple built by Moses in the desert is the most extraordinary of all the Old Testament ritual types. As a prefiguration of the facts of the New Covenant, DeAlmeida finds as antitypes not only Jesus and the Christian but also the church as a whole, since """"Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands, a replica of the true one, but heaven, that he may now appear before the face of God on our behalf."""" The author, in a simple and enlightening way, presents in this work abundant references to the divisions of the tabernacle, its rich furniture, the materials used in its construction, the four colors indicating the four gospels, the different offerings, the numbers applied to the pieces, the sacrifices, and so forth. These typological riches, associated with the great annual feasts and the Levitical priesthood, constitute precious and practical lessons on how to live the true Christian faith today. The strong presence, in this book, of the number five--which indicates divine grace--shows us that in the tabernacle, the glory of the church shines. This book purports to be original, as it focuses on the subject from a spiritual point of view.

Author Information

Abraham DeAlmeida is a pastor with three PhDs in theology and is a specialist in the Old Testament, Bible prophecies, divinity, church history, numerology, and typology, with more than thirty-five books written about these topics. He considers it one of his greatest achievements to have been one of the scholars who revised and noted the Brazilian bibles ""Almeida Corrigida"" and ""Almeida Século 21,"" and helped to translate the New International Version Bible into Portuguese. Born in 1939 on a humble farm with ten siblings, he remembers owning his first pair of shoes at the age of ten. He developed a love for learning, and at the age of seventeen, he became a communist. His eloquent speeches attracted large crowds, but deep inside he felt empty, and his longing for God only continued to grow. His life changed dramatically one night as he entered a church and dedicated his life to God. Ever since, he has been on a relentless path to knowing God better. The love of his life, Lucia, to whom he was happily married to for fifty-seven years, has recently passed away, although her legacy will be remembered for generations to come. The Sunshine State has become his home, living in Tamarac with his son, Junior.
