Exodus chapter 38

They are wandering in a wilderness far away from civilization, but the women have mirrors with them in their luggage because one never knows just whom one might meet!  :)

And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses. And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.  -- Exodus 38:22-23

Does God make any promises in this chapter?

• No, God does not speak.

Are there any references to Jesus?

• The perfection of the work (such as man can do) speaks of the perfection of Jesus. The work done was holy and acceptable to God.

Are there any references to future events?

• The account given of the gold, silver, and brass reminds me of the accounts given in Revelation of all the riches awaiting in Heaven. The treasures of these people were always with them in their place of worship. We're told in Matthew 6:20-21 that we are to lay up for ourselves treasure in Heaven and that where our treasure is there will our hearts be also. So someday we will have access to that treasure that we have awaiting us in Heaven.

Does God issue any commands?

• No, God does not speak.
