There are no non-essentials in God's Word. The Word is full of types, symbols, Pictures; all have deep, peculiar, spiritual meaning.
The Tabernacle in the wilderness is a revelation of Truth -- an object lesson of spiritual Truth. It is the revelation of Christ and His redemptive work; the story of the gospel. It teaches how God can meet His People, and how His people can come into the Presence of their God.
The first five books of the Bible are mostly types. Jesus is pictured as Lamb, Altar, Priest; varied glories of His Person, and varied aspects of His work. Jesus taught in types. The believer who has most acquaintance with Jesus, who loves Him best, will see the most beauties in the types.

John Follette (1883 - 1966)
Follette was a gifted Bible teacher and author, who had both perspective and spiritual depth in his interpretation of the Word. He was an illuminated spirit in the field of spiritual reality, and had an unusual ability to impart “spirit and life” into those who sat under his ministry.He received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit in 1913 while a student at a Bible School in Rochester, New York, and later became a teacher there until the school closed. He also taught for many years at Southern California Bible College. During the later years of his life, he was called into a wider field, ministering in conferences and retreats which took him around the world. He passed into his eternal reward in 1966 at the age of 82.
