If we could
bring people out of the tyranny of the world into the wilderness and take them
to the mountain where they see the revelation of God’s economy and eventually
build a tabernacle for God, we would surely be satisfied. However, with
the tabernacle we do not yet have the solid building, which is signified by the
temple in the land of Canaan. Hence, if we would reach the ultimate goal of
God’s calling, we must journey onward and enter into the good land....Many
Christians, however, have not yet reached the stage of the tabernacle, the
temporary church life, much less that of the solid building.
God has called us
with a purpose. This purpose is to use us to bring people out of the tyranny of
today’s world into the wilderness, a place of separation. It is also to bring
them to the mountain where they may see the revelation concerning God’s economy
and the design of the tabernacle, so that the tabernacle may be built.
Furthermore, it is to bring them into the rich and all-inclusive good land to
defeat God’s enemy and to enjoy the riches of Christ. Then God will be able to
establish His kingdom in which He will have His dwelling place on earth.
(Life-study of Exodus, pp. 125, 138, 140-141, 131-132)
