Biblical Objects & Artifacts

God establishes and strengthens his house.

The two great bronze pillars that stood at the entrance of Solomon’s Temple.

The Tabernacle (Hebrew: Mishkan) was the center of Israelite worship from Sinai until the Temple was built. It contained the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies, the Altar of Incense, the Golden Lampstand, and the Table of Showbread in the Holy Place, and the Bronze Altar and Laver in the outer court. Every element foreshadows the person and work of Jesus Christ — the ultimate meeting place between God and humanity.

The portable sanctuary built by Israel in the wilderness according to God's exact specifications given to Moses on Mount Sinai. It served as the dwelling place of God among His people during the wilderness years.

Cleansing on a grand scale at the house of God.

The huge cast-bronze basin in Solomon’s Temple where the priests washed, resting on twelve bronze oxen.

The barrier to God’s presence, torn open by the cross.

The embroidered curtain that screened the Most Holy Place — torn in two at the death of Christ.
