Exodus 40

And the story of the Exodus from Egypt draws to a close with the assembly of the Tabernacle. I am excited to see where the next book goes, as I'm not sure I've ever read much in Leviticus. The last thing I noted in this section of scripture was that God's presence now rested on the Tabernacle, but was manifest in the same way as the pillar of cloud/fire that initially led them out of Egypt. I sometimes wonder how large a fire and cloud this is talking about; I mean, it must have been pretty sizable if the Israelites could see it from a distance, but it also must have been small enough to effectively sit atop of the tent of meeting. How awesome it would be to have seen that! I wonder if there will be slide shows in Heaven... ;)
