How does the tabernacle point to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The tabernacle serves as a foreshadowing of Christ, depicting His role as mediator and divine Savior.

The tabernacle is rich with symbolism that foreshadows the person and work of Jesus Christ. Each element of the tabernacle, from the gate to the coverings, illustrates vital truths about salvation and Christ's nature. For example, the colorful gate symbolizes the multifaceted nature of Christ—His divinity (blue), royalty (purple), and the necessity of His sacrificial atonement (scarlet). The coverings of the tabernacle, including the badger skin, represent Christ's humility and the ordinary appearance of His earthly ministry. By reflecting on these elements, believers can appreciate that the tabernacle foreshadowed Christ's coming as the appointed means by which sinners can approach a holy God and receive grace and redemption.
