There are many things to take notes for here: the alter and a laver (I noticed a footnote on verse 7 in the first Amplified translation), the cloud of glory visible to everyone of Israel, the tent’s entrance facing the east, a pillar of fire each night (this probably inspired the shekinah glory we later see in 2 Chronicles 7:1 —- #worthit) —- but this is the last chapter of the second book of the Bible. It is found in pages 56-57 of the NKJV I have for this, pages 72-73 of the NASB I have for this, pages 120-122 of my VOICE copy, and pages 117-119 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.
I don’t know how much I’ll actually be able to cover but no one can get the complete and unabridged anything in an absolute sense… but we don’t have to ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️ indeed, the tent entrance was facing east because God knew Jesus would someday return from that direction (see Revelation 19:11-16), but that’s at least seven years away. Indeed, we shouldn’t try to figure out when that will happen… but this was part of a grand plan God has had for all people, especially those who believe (see 1 Timothy 4:10). The tabernacle was complete, and soon, Moses would start writing the rest of his law, which takes a month to compose.
I should add that, unfortunately, everything in these next three books will be difficult to understand, and it’s unlikely mercy actually happens (but see Numbers 6:24-26). These parts of the Bible have been used far too often throughout time to shove the people who listen to this —- it’s the word of God, of course —- into compliance. As a result, because they’ve used it as a weapon, no one really feels free to do the good they may have wanted since birth. Even for the believers, they want to obey from the heart (see Romans 6:17) but aren’t given any chances, and feel stuck. The Lord Jesus rescues everyone who loves Him but the head can be screwed up because of the hypocrites among us (or rather, we’re among them), and not enough people actually notice, so we run into one roadblock after another… at least, though, this madness will end one day. For the promise of Christ’s return still stands, and nothing He says can be muted (Isaiah 55:11, also John 10:35). Man, would I love to see Him one day! 😍😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰💝💖💘💌💗💓💞💕💋💋💋💋💋❤️🔥❤️🩹❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍💅🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼👰🏼♂️👰🏼♀️👰🏼🧚🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️💃🏼👯🏼♀️🚴🏼♂️🚵🏼♂️👩🏻🤝👨🏽👭🏻👩🏻❤️💋👨🏽👩🏻❤️👨🏽👩🏻❤️👩🏻🫂
And you might be thinking, “Dude, what’s with all the emojis here?” Haha I’m just feeling excited for Jesus in an unusual way haha 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 I also heard about this NYC queen 👑 someone I follow on Instagram follows, but I pray I have the right attitude concerning these humans. For it’s tempting to flirt with disaster… sorry lol 😅😅😅😅😅😅😄😆 I hope I can be innovative like them 🤭
But anyways… there was no electricity in Moses’ time, and it would be nearly 34 centuries until the invention of the light bulb 💡 which Tesla was actually responsible for, and Edison took credit, stealing his work. I was scared to death of the plagiarism police in college… but right now I can look at 1 Corinthians 9:24-10:13 and go from there. I was thinking of that passage when I was at the mental hospital 🏥 back in 2014 —- I didn’t know I’d soon be going back to my mom’s place, but at least I’m in Gilbert, now. Where I am exactly I can’t actually disclose, but I’ll need to keep it private, I had a messy arrangement.
Come what may, though, because eternity is good for all who love Jesus (see Matthew 24:13-14), well party with Him forever! I’m talking endless Mexican 🇲🇽 food 🥑🍅🌮🌯🫔🥙🧆🫕🥣 Chinese 🇨🇳 cuisine of all kinds 🍊🍍🥭🍄🍖🍗🥩🥘🍲🥗🍱🍘🍙🍚🍛🍠🍢🍣🦪🍤🍥🥮🍡🥟🥠🥡 North and South Korea becoming one 🇰🇵🇰🇷 the U.S. 🇺🇲 no longer being war-obsessed, parties with instruments like Caribbean steel drums 🥁 and fish, just to name a few.

I pray we approach the rest of the Pentateuch carefully, and that I talk to others concerning this, but I don’t want to be a loose cannon, ever. Hopefully I can elaborate this in the next 27+36+34 chapters. But if you need prayer, you can email 📧 me at ron.outland4727@gmail.com! I’ll read each one, write them down, then tape them to my bedroom walls! I’ll see you in the first chapter of the remaining 97 of this section of the Bible… this is going to be interesting.
