You are NOT going to believe this...
I challenged myself - due to a long story - to read the Bible in 90 days.... I'm on like 190 now... Yeah, not sticking to the plan. I have a (legitimate) reason though! It's just that the details are insane. I'm all for knowing details about some things - like maybe people, relationships, and other girly things. :) But buildings?? Minute structural commands... 1 cubit high here, 2 cubits wide there.... not so interesting.
Confession: I gave God a hard time about that. "Why must I know all this?? Good grief! It's taking me way too long to focus and get through this..." (Don't worry - my pride is now obliterated by the Great I AM.)
A month later or so, I get my answer. And I am fascinated. No, deeper, I mean, deeply enthralled by this God of ours. I'm probably the last one to get this info, but a refresher course is always good for the soul. So y'all, GET THIS:
God gave Moses so many details on how to build the Tabernacle so as to copy what He saw in Heaven!!! Not only that, but the Ark of the Covenant foreshadowed what Jesus' tomb would look like when He was buried! (Exodus 25, Hebrews 8:5, John 20:10-12) How incredible is that!? Oh y'all, isn't that beautiful?? Our God is intentional. He has a purpose for everything - even when we are blinded by the details of the journey towards accomplishing that purpose.
"Whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through faith in His blood..." Romans 3:25 (YLT)
