“And he made a mercy seat of pure gold” (37:6). The head craftsman, Bezalel, used gold for the important objects of the tabernacle, including the covering (“mercy seat”) of the ark of the covenant. Precious acacia wood, bronze, silver, and embroidered linens decorated the holy place, even though it was temporary. Eventually, the tabernacle would be replaced by a Temple, and that Temple would point toward Jesus Christ. 

The “tabernacle of the testimony” (38:21), though temporary, testified to God’s saving acts, his rescue and his Word, and it pointed toward the day when God’s presence would not be in a place, but a Person. Now everyone is invited to the mercy seat (‘throne of grace’, Heb 4:16) to receive the forgiveness and rescue we need.
