How do we know the tabernacle is a picture of Christ?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible explicitly connects the tabernacle’s elements to Christ, illustrating His role as the Savior and mediator.

The tabernacle's design was directly instructed by God to Moses, highlighting its importance as a picture of Christ's work and person. Hebrews 8 suggests that Moses was to construct the tabernacle exactly as shown to him because each detail reflects the coming Savior. For instance, the mercy seat signifies how God communes with His people through Christ, who fulfills the law and bears our sins. The connection is further illustrated in John 1:14, which states that 'The Word became flesh and dwelt (tabernacled) among us.' This relationship between the tabernacle and Christ is not incidental; it is a divine plan wherein God throughout history has revealed His redemptive purpose through these shadows and types. The unmistakable links serve as key affirmations of Christ's role in salvation.
