The lecture-tour,
given by a trained guide, explains the history, construction, and spiritual significance of the tabernacle. A wax
figure represents the High Priest, and helps to recreate the ritual at the altar of incense. The Ark of the Covenant
rested in the Most Holy Place of the Tabernacle. It was extremely precious, for it represented God's presence,
forgiveness, and awesome power. No one could go into this Most Holy Place except for the High Priest, and then
only once a year.
Teaching and support materials for the Tabernacle, including slides, videos, model kits, and more are available from the Center.
The Biblical Tabernacle reproduction presentation is offered Monday through Saturday all year--every hour on the
hour 9:00 to 4:00 from April through October, and at 10:00 am, 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm from November through March.
