The children of Israel finished making the holy Tabernacle, and they brought all the work to Moses, because he was the mediator between God and man up to that time,

And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its furnishings: its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets; the covering of ram skins dyed red, the covering of badger skins, and the veil of the covering; the ark of the Testimony with its poles, and the mercy seat; the table, all its utensils, and the showbread; the pure gold lampstand with its lamps (the lamps set in order), all its utensils, and the oil for light; the gold altar, the anointing oil, and the sweet incense; the screen for the tabernacle door; the bronze altar, its grate of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils; the laver with its base; the hangings of the court, its pillars and its sockets, the screen for the court gate, its cords, and its pegs; all the utensils for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting; and the garments of ministry, to minister in the holy place: the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons’ garments, to minister as priests (Exodus 39.33–41).

What a presentation that must have been, even as it will be a magnificent presentation of the church as the bride to Christ! Revelation 19.6–9 shows the spectacular celebration that it will be, and that we adorn the church, the bride of Christ, with the righteous things we do.
