Why is the atonement of Christ central to the tabernacle?

Answered in 1 source

The atonement of Christ is central as it alone permits believers to approach a holy God.

The brazen altar symbolizes the necessity of sacrifice for sin, asserting that no one can enter God's presence without atonement. Hebrews 9:22 emphasizes that 'without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins.' The altar's continual sacrifices pointed forward to Christ’s ultimate sacrifice, which was effective for all whom He died for, ensuring their acceptance before God. Only by His blood can we be seen as holy and blameless, emphasizing the importance of Christ's atonement in the tabernacle's design.
