What is the significance of the 12 loaves on the table of showbread?

Answered in 1 source

The 12 loaves symbolize Christ's provision for all of God's elect and their unity as one body.

The 12 loaves placed on the table of showbread hold significant symbolism, representing both Christ as the bread of life and the totality of God's elect. This number reflects completeness and unity, as it corresponds to the 12 tribes of Israel and signifies the collective body of believers throughout history. The presence of the loaves before God serves as a continual reminder of His covenant promises to His people, affirming that each member of the church is provided for abundantly through Christ.
