But we can even go further back than that and see that we can go into eternity past and see that the house of God existed prior to even Jacob discovering Bethel okay in fact the worldly sanctuary that Moses constructed in the book of Exodus under the the leadership of Moses was actually patterned after the heavenly sanctuary okay look at Hebrews chapter number eight in verse number four this is the house of God from eternity past look what it says in verse number four it says for if he were on earth he should not be a priest seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle for see saith he that thou make all things according to the pattern show to thee in the Mount go to chapter number nine if you would chapter number nine so in chapter eight we see that the tabernacle was an example it was a shadow of things to come but it was patterned after something that Moses had seen or that God revealed unto Moses that was from heaven look at Hebrews 9 verse 8 it says the Holy Ghost is signifying that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest while as the first tabernacle was yet standing which was a what figure for the time then present and which were offered both gifts and sacrifices that could not make him that did the service perfect as pertaining to the conscience go skip down to verse 23 it was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these so what we see what the physical tabernacle in the Old Testament is that that's where they would go to do the animal sacrifices on a daily basis on a yearly basis but you know it's impossible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins right and so that tabernacle is simply a pattern of something that was in heaven this is why when Jesus Christ died what happened when he after he descended he ascended into heaven and he spread his own blood on the mercy seat of the tabernacle which is in heaven that's the real tabernacle the tabernacle that was here on this earth during the time of Moses was simply a figure there was a pattern it was patterned after that the physical tabernacle or the spiritual tabernacle in heaven he says in verse 24 for Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands which are the figures of the true but into heaven itself now to appear in the presence of God for us over and over again we see this figure pattern the example what is that telling us it's telling us that the house of God has always existed somewhere amen
