This is part of a video series covering the entire Bible in 4 years, one chapter at a time. Start at the beginning with Genesis 1 (Youtube link: https://youtu.be/wC2qD4RGOdo) and work through the playlist. Or go to https://www.peace.org.au/bible.html for more information.
In this video listen to Exodus 40 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.
In Exodus 40 the tabernacle is completed. It is now the first day of the first month of a new year. Burton Coffman in his commentary estimated they had left Egypt about 350 days earlier, about 15 days short of a full year.
In this video we consider the last 18 months of Moses’ life, from his call, leaving his wife behind, challenging Pharaoh, the plagues, the exodus, the forming of a nation, giving of the law, covenant with God, building of the tabernacle and more. Now he is standing in the desert looking at the glory of God filling the tabernacle. What a whirlwind year and a half it was. It’s nothing short of incredible.
This video then considers the glory of God as it enters the temple, and then the glory in Solomon’s temple, and the glory in Zerubabbel’s temple, and then finally the third temple. Finally the books of Exodus finished with a happy conclusion. God is with his people and leading them, and it speaks to us of how we should be as God’s people today.
