In this writing we are emphasizing the Presence of God and the Glory of God. There is much that we have left unsaid concerning the Tabernacle in the Wilderness, but we must hurry on. But first we must consider the Rule of the Cloud, which is the Rule of His Glory.
The Tabernacle was a portable structure. It does not have the meaning of a solid, permanent structure. It was but a Tent--easily taken down and reassembled. A permanent temple would come later when the kingdom was established. But here God would teach His people that they must move on "from glory unto glory" until they would come to their true rest in God.
The presence and glory of God was really the whole purpose and meaning of God’s temples... and it must be so in our Church gatherings today. Without His presence there is no purpose for a temple, no purpose for us gathering together. Therefore we must learn to diligently follow the Rule of the Cloud. "As long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents... whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed." (See Num. 9:15-23.)
