Exodus points us to a wonderful conclusion with the Israelites being bound for the Promised Land, hence our theme hymn for the quarter being 
We Are Bound For The Promised Land – Hymn 620.

 What wonderful learning for this quarter through the Exodus of God’s people from Egypt, all the things that happened along the way, to the building of the Tabernacle. Sabbath afternoon’s introduction concludes with “He saves those who come to Him in faith”. Please do say that 
I Do Believe – Hymn 486.

Sunday continues to instruct about The Sabbath. We are reminded 
Don’t Forget The Sabbath – Hymn 388 and then we are able to say 
We Love Thy Sabbath, Lord – Hymn 390.

With the multitude of offerings given to build The Tabernacle, the people were declaring 
We Give Thee But Thine Own – Hymn 670 during Monday’s study time. This day finished up with the instructions saying: “To advance God’s cause and fulfill His mission, God empowers His followers to accomplish His objectives and do it well.” Are we now prepared to say 
I’ll Go Where You Want Me To Go – Hymn 573?

With the bountiful beauties of The Tabernacle, built as per God’s instructions, we all learn that 
God Is Our Strong Salvation – Hym 399, and can say undeniably 
How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place – Hymn 62. All of this is because of 
Marvelous Grace – Hymn 109. We are then able to see that “The sanctuary was a place for worshiping God, praising Him, and giving thanks”: 
Hymn 83 – O Worship The King, Hymn 1 – Praise To The Lord and 
Hymn 276 – Thanks To God.

As this world continues to fall apart, we look forward to the New Jerusalem coming down from heaven to earth, as we learn at the end of Thursday’s study: 
Jerusalem, My Happy Home – Hymn 420.

Please continue to search the scriptures this week to be blessed, and to bless others.

Daily Lesson for Tuesday 23rd of September 2025

Moses carefully constructed the tabernacle, and the instructions he had received on Mount Sinai were diligently implemented. The biblical text enumerates the following: (1) the tabernacle with its different fabrics, curtains, and parts (Exodus 36:8-38); (2) the ark (Exodus 37:1-9); (3) the table for the showbread (Exodus 37:10-16); (4) the lampstand (Exodus 37:17-24); (5) the altar of incense (Exodus 37:25-29); (6) the altar of burnt offering (Exodus 38:1-7); (7) the basin for washing (Exodus 38:8); (8) the courtyard (Exodus 38:9-20); and (9) the material used for the tabernacle (Exodus 38:21-31). Exodus 39:1-43 continues with the descriptions of the ephod, breastplate, and other priestly garment pieces.

The tabernacle’s services were visual object lessons of the gospel, demonstrating God’s entire plan of redemption. The various ceremonies depicted (1) how God abhors and deals with sin, (2) how He saves repentant people, (3) what is the fate of the wicked, and (4) how He will secure a glorious future that will be without evil.

Two different but closely related services were performed in the sanctuary during the year: the daily and the yearly. This two-phase ministry illustrated how God treats sin and saves sinners. Through the daily sanctuary services, God assured those who repented that He forgave their sins and graciously offered them salvation. To receive this gift of salvation, a sacrifice had to be made, and these sacrifices pointed to the death of the Messiah, whose blood “cleanses us from all sin” (1 John 1:7, NKJV). Confession of sin and accepting the robe of Christ’s righteousness was at the center of this gift (Psalms 32:1-2). In this way, the repentant sinner was assured forgiveness and could rejoice in salvation.

The yearly service, performed on the Day of the Atonement, demonstrated how God eradicates sin, solves the sin problem, and secures the sinless future (Leviticus 16:1-34, John 1:29). Presently, Christ’s twofold ministry in the heavenly sanctuary is another expression of God’s work for us (Hebrews 7:25) and will bring the final solution to the problem of evil (Daniel 7:13-14,22,27; Daniel 8:14; Revelation 21:4).

The sanctuary was a place for worshiping God, praising Him, and giving thanks. Worship is about maintaining one’s relationship with God, who invites believers into that fellowship.

Daily Lesson for Monday 22nd of September 2025

An abundance of various precious materials was needed to build the tabernacle, and it was accomplished by generous donations from God’s people, who gave from the bottom of their hearts, willingly and with joy.

They gave gold, silver, bronze, fine linen, precious stones, unique fabrics, acacia wood, olive oil, spices, and many other needed items. People also donated their labor because many specific objects needed to be crafted through their artistic and diligent work on the tent or its furniture. Also, tailors had to weave garments for the priests, who would be ministering in the tabernacle, and for the high priest, whose very elaborate garments included a breastplate and turban.

God had abundantly blessed the Israelites through the gifts that the Egyptians had given them on their departure from Egypt. Now it was their opportunity to give offerings of gratitude for God’s merciful and mighty leadership, and their hearts were moved to accomplish this work to His glory.

The people were giving with such joy and abundance that Moses was told: “ ‘The people are bringing more than enough’ ” (Exodus 36:5, NIV). So, Moses had to stop their donations “because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work” on the tabernacle (Exodus 36:7, NIV).

Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, God equipped and em­powered the people to accurately build the tabernacle. Bezalel, Aholiab, and ­others were “filled . . . with the Spirit of God” (Exodus 35:31, NKJV), which means that they were endowed with skills, wisdom, and artistic knowledge to perfectly do all the work. It was an enormous project and had to be created exactly according to the model God showed Moses.

It is significant that the gift of the Holy Spirit was related to people’s different abilities and skills, which needed to be employed in building the tabernacle. To be filled with the Spirit is not a magical process and does not mean that special spiritual forces are within humans. To advance God’s cause and fulfill His mission, God empowers His followers to accomplish His objectives and to do it well.

Daily Lesson for Sunday 21st of September 2025

However much those opposed to the seventh-day Sabbath argue, falsely, that it was for the Jews only (the seventh day was set apart and sanctified in Eden [see Genesis 2:1-3]); or they argue, falsely, that the Jews first heard about it at Sinai (the Jews were keeping the Sabbath before Sinai [see Exodus 16:22-29])—there is no question that the Sabbath was very much a part of the life of the Hebrew people from the start.

The Sabbath and its message was, is, and always will be about God—who He is and what His mighty works are. The Sabbath reminds us of His creative and salvific acts and focuses our attention on God, who wants to dwell with His people. In this way, the Sabbath and the sanctuary point in the same direction: God’s presence in our lives.

The Sabbath of the Old Testament church conveys a manifold message. One may summarize its essence in five crucial points:

1. God is the Creator, and the Bible opens with this stunning and cornerstone proclamation (Genesis 1:1). The vivid memorial of God’s creation is the Sabbath (Genesis 2:2-3; Exodus 20:8-11). From this truth—God as our Creator—all other biblical truths flow.

2. The Messiah will come, and this hope centers on God’s promise of the Seed, who would overcome the serpent (Satan) and bring victory over evil.

3. God will establish His kingdom, and the Sabbath is its foretaste.

4. Salvation comes from the Lord, and God’s people testify that God is their Savior and Redeemer and that salvation comes as a result of His grace and His grace alone.

5. God is the ultimate Judge of all people. Those who persistently defy and deny Him will have no future, but He freely gives eternal life to those who follow Him.
