The Tabernacle was filled with theological symbolism to be sure. It was also a model and thus it pointed outside itself another reality. That reality was Jesus Christ. John writes that the Word who was God became flesh and did tabernacle among us. Jesus speaks of his body and being the true temple. It is in Jesus Christ that we come into real saving communion with God. Where do we meet God? We meet God in Jesus Christ. As you by faith have been united with Christ you have communion with God. Likewise each believer in Jesus and the corporate New Covenant church become God's dwelling by His Spirit.
