"And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords."
Here we see Jesus Christ, fulness of whom explained the significance the tabernacle in the wilderness. The Spirit while organising the Mind of God never loses focus on the Son for whom a day is decreed.(Ps.2:7). The sinful nation could not keep the physical realities of the house for God to dwell in. But Jesus Christ as the Lord from heaven is now presented the True tabernacle himself and is King of Kings, And Lord of Lords.
In the inaugural vision of St John he is seen in the midst of seven candlesticks and it evocative of the golden lamp stand in the holy place (Ex.25:31). "And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace;" Here again we have the allusion of the brazen altar (27:2) recalled. The saints following him are innumerable. "And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. " Their dress resonates with the material employed in the tabernacle.
The point is that the significance of the tabernacle is not in itself as stated but it is Person specific. "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him."(Col.1:16)
