Divine dwelling/Soaring roof lines anchored by devotions create a church's architectural expression

摘要

You cannot ask for more-divine inspiration for a building design than specifications delivered from the mouth of God. In Exodus, the divine architect dictates these plans for the Tabernacle to Moses on Mount Sinai. The Tabernacle, or "residence" or "dwelling place," was a portable worship facility for the Hebrews during the Exodus from Egypt to the time of the conquering of the land of Canaan. The Tabernacle's most precious possession was the Ark of the Covenant. God's specifications for this meeting tent were quite specific, down to the cubit. The purpose of this passage and the Tabernacle, according to scholars, is to establish God's presence with people whom God has covenanted.
