Part 1: From the Garden to Golgotha
Roughly 1 metric ton of gold was used for the sanctuary
This gold came from Egypt in the exodus (“So you shall plunder the Egyptians.”, Exo 3:22b)
God delivers instruction for the tabernacle to essentially say “If you want to be in relationship with me…” While it is His desire as well, he leaves it up to us to build it (“bring a freewill offering”)
