I find myself as soon as i see a word or anything that i have an inclination could be something else I go and research it and i find it ads context to what is going on for example names. In Hebrew names have meaning although today in USA we don’t really apply names based on meaning. When I read the bible and I see…

So Jesus is now the tabernacle that israel used to have physically? When you say “His new dwelling place is the tabernacle of David” what do you mean? I want to understand the separation or transition from a physical tabernacle to a spiritual tabernacle…can you expound on this more?

Often times we see a person who has the gift of teaching to preach and it can be very educational & systematic where as preaching has more of a fluid, upbeat, feel to it depending on where you go and hat denomination you pertain to.

Discovering the dead sea scrolls was a major conviction for Christianity because it really validated the modern teachings of the church. I think this is most important when it comes to apologetics and we have sects/cults who would argue that the modern bible has been tampered with.

very good assessment here.
