The Spirit of reality,

To make this Christ so real to me.

B. Having the Incarnated Christ as Its Reality
The tabernacle of God has the incarnated Christ as its reality. In Exodus we have the type, and in John 1:14 we have the fulfillment. The very God who was the Word ( John 1:1 ) became flesh to tabernacle among us. Christ as the embodiment of the Triune God is God’s tabernacle. This tabernacle is God’s dwelling place for His expression. It is also for us to enter into God so that we may enjoy Him.
The Old Testament tabernacle was a type, a prefigure, of the real tabernacle, which was Christ in the flesh. In the Old Testament God was in the tabernacle, for the tabernacle brought God to the children of Israel. In the time of the New Testament, Christ in the flesh was the tabernacle that brought God to man so that man might enjoy Him. Through incarnation God became a man, mingled Himself with man, and became His own dwelling place. In Christ, the real tabernacle, God was embodied for our enjoyment.
John 1:14 says, “The Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. ” Here we see that Christ, the incarnated Word, is a tabernacle. This tabernacle signifies the Word becoming flesh as God’s expression. The significance of the word expression here is the same as that of the gold in the Old Testament tabernacle. The tabernacle was built with boards of acacia wood overlaid with gold, which signifies God expressed. When Christ was on earth, there was with Him a certain kind of shining, and that shining was the expression of God typified by the gold of the tabernacle.
As the tabernacle, Christ shared in humanity. For the Word to become flesh means that the Word took on human nature. Humanity is typified by the acacia wood of the tabernacle ( Exo. 26:15 , 26 ). The gold and the acacia wood signify respectively the divine nature and the human nature of Christ.
Furthermore, as the tabernacle, Christ is God’s embodiment. “In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily” ( Col. 2:9 ). The fullness of the Godhead—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—is embodied in the tabernacle, and this embodiment is God’s dwelling among men.
