“And see that you make them after the pattern for them, which is being shown you on the mountain.”
Exodus 25:40 ESV
Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews then said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” But He was speaking of the temple of His body. So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

Studies
The following are recordings of studies on passages from Terumah by Hallel Fellowship teachers.
You’re invited to God’s big tent (Exodus 25:1–27:19)
Covered by mercy: Meeting Messiah via the Ark of the Covenant (Exodus 25)
Why we must guard Heaven’s tabernacle in our hearts (Exodus 25)

Exodus 25:1–27:19: How thankful are we for our Savior?
Journey to the 10
Exodus 12–20 recounts a transformation of Israel from a people in bondage to a truly free nation of ambassadors of the Kingdom of God. This “Journey to the 10” is a path each believer should take before and after baptism to become fully mature, not lacking anything. (Start the series of studies from the beginning.) This is the backdrop for Exodus 25-27.
Exodus 25
Instructions for making the tabernacle
The LORD gave Moshe very specific instructions for the design of the tabernacle, God’s house in the midst of Israel. These are not just meaningless details. Rather, they are symbols that give us understanding into God’s plan to restore the face-to-face interaction between mankind and Himself.
Exodus 27
Design for the ark of the Testimony
There is a lot of information in these next two chapters. We are continuing learn more about the template of the Tabernacle that God gave to Moses on Sinai. “… as it was shown to you in the mountain, so they shall make it” (Ex. 27:8). We will learn about the altar, the utensils of the altar and the architecture of the outer courts. God also calls upon Aaron and his sons to serve Him as High Priests in the Tabernacle. They were called to be the intermediaries between God and the people. The people are commended to their own service for the Tabernacle as well.
Haftarah: 1Kings 5:26-6:13
1st Kings 5: Meet the King of Tyre who will help Solomon build the Temple
Solomon is a Messianic figure and Solomon is building a house for God’s name and Yeshua, the Messiah is building God’s name, not in a building but in His people. This is a Messianic chapter and we are learning about the foundations of God’s house.
1st Kings 6:1-14: Design of Solomon’s temple mirrors foundation for believers
The temple of King Shlomo (Solomon) is the prototype of the temple in Ezekiel and the temple apostle Yokhanan (John) sees in Revelation as well. These components were not put in by Shlomo’s own choice. They were designed and selected by God ahead of time because they mean something to God. In a sense, the Temple is us. Each physical component has a spiritual component.
1st Kings 6:15-38: Lessons about believers in God from the interior design Solomon’s Temple
Just as the design of the walls and foundation of the temple Solomon built for God showed a pattern for the proper “foundation” for believers in God (1st Kings 6:1-14), the design of the interior of the temple provides a pattern for the character of believers.
