The Book of Numbers records that when God was ready for the people to journey ahead, the pillar would move and Israel was to follow. To Israel, His Presence was seen as a pillar of Cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. The Book of Exodus records that God’s Shekinah glory would dwell in the Holy of Holies. It was there that the people would bring their sacrifices and offerings to the LORD. It was there that the Levites and priests would serve. It was in that Tabernacle that God would dwell in the midst of His people during their desert journeys.
This wilderness tabernacle is a scaled replica of the Biblical tabernacle that Moses was instructed by God to have the people of Israel build in the Book of Exodus chapter 25ff. One of the highlights at Timnah Park is what is referred to as the Wilderness tabernacle, set up and operated by a group of Messianic Jews from Israel.
That brings us to our current photo blog. Over the years we have enjoyed spending a great deal of time here.
While the heat in this area during summer months is brutal, the rugged landscape in this vast desert area is truly breathtaking. Located just north of the modern city of Eilat, Timnah Park is home to some ancient copper smelting mines and a host of other significant geological and archaeological wonders. In this Israel Photo Blog, we want to share with you a highlight from one of our favorite spots in the Land of Israel, Timnah Park.
