GO ye therefore...

Judges.
The entire book---
What is missing?
Where is the tabernacle?

"Everyone does what is right in his own eyes (21:25)."

Tribe after tribe is represented by a champion who fights on the side of the Lord.
How many of them go to the tabernacle?
None.

The tabernacle was supposed to make the circuit throughout the tribes. Month after month, they were each to be visited: culminating in the feast of booths or tabernacles (Deuteronomy 16:13, Nehemiah 8:17, John 7:12). 12 tribes in 12 months equals year one. Year 2---3---4---.
Instead, year after year, the tabernacle remains in the same place until someone builds a roof over it and they begin to call it Beth-el, the house of God (20:18). No longer a tent to be transported, it is a place to be visited -- like the pagan temples.

Meanwhile, the priests and Levites behave as though they are entitled to special treatment. They believe that they deserve goodness and fatness and whatever they want in life. Slowly, they build roofs over their heads and act as though they, too, should own land and have substance. Eventually, Israel's spiritual welfare has no meaning to them. Nearly 500 years of their constant ritual dependence on the relationship that Moses had with God gave way to idolatry and the wickedness of their pagan neighbors. There was no king to watch over these priests and force them to forsake laziness and visit the tribes who needed the truth in word and symbol.

As bad as false religions are, there are Christian churches that refuse to abandon bad doctrine and practices because they are linked to some exalted person 500 years in the past. The unbiblical ideas of Calvin have been synthesized and made to be more important than the truth spoken by Jesus (Jesus IS God!). The official position of Calvinists is that the power of predestination is in the hands of their preachers. A person may be made right with God if the preacher performs the proper ritual over him or her. Those who are unlucky enough to have no availibility to their idea of the fountain of grace are automatically reject/reprobate.

The ancient tabernacle belonged to all peoples (Acts 15:13-18...notice that God knows all from the beginning - not Calvin). The ancient tabernacle represents Jesus and anyone who visited in the past could be given a vision of the cross by the Holy Spirit.

God did not entrust His saving work to the whims of humans who would be inclined to talk loudly of grace while enslaving people to a system of works and special interest. God established salvation in Himself and predestined Himself (Jesus is GOD) to accomplish the work. He did this at the cross. Anyone who wants to be in on the predestination of Jesus can meet Him at the cross. He will camp out with you until it is time to go home.

Come to the cross.
