How do we know the tabernacle points to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The tabernacle's design and its elements foreshadow Christ's person and work in salvation.

The tabernacle's components symbolize various aspects of Christ's redemptive work. For example, the altar signifies Jesus as the sacrificial lamb, while the mercy seat on the Ark of the Covenant represents the atonement provided by Christ's blood. Hebrews 9:11-12 explains that Christ entered the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, to offer Himself as the ultimate sacrifice for sin. Thus, studying the tabernacle reveals how its structure, rituals, and purpose are intricately tied to the person and work of Jesus, affirming that the Old Testament points to the New Covenant established in Christ.
