What does the gold used in the table of showbread represent?

Answered in 1 source

The gold in the table of showbread represents Christ's perfect divine nature and His glorious exaltation.

The table of showbread was made of acacia wood and overlaid with pure gold, symbolizing the dual nature of Christ—fully God and fully man. The gold signifies His divine perfection, eternal Godhead, and majesty. As described in Revelation, gold represents purity and glory, just as Christ is perfect in His deity. Additionally, the golden crown around the table signifies Christ's exaltation and glory as our mediator, seated at the right hand of God. This imagery brings to light the utterly unique nature of Jesus, who bridges the gap between humanity and the divine.
