THE CROSSBARS OF THE TABERNACLE
The 48 frames which fitted at the bottom into the silver bases, were held together by 15 crossbars which, like the frames, were overlaid with gold. There were five crossbars on each of the northern, western and southern side. There were two short crossbars at the top of a long, continuous crossbar, and two at the bottom of it (Exod. 26:26-30). The rings that served as places for the bars to keep them in position, were made of gold (Exod. 26:26-30).
The purpose of these crossbars was to hold the whole construction of the tabernacle together so that it would not fall apart. The upright frames are held in place by five horizontal crossbars on each side. It speaks of Christ's power, with which He sustains everything, because, as Paul says: And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist (Col. 1:17). It is this power with which He surrounds and protects the Church (the Holy Place of the tabernacle, of which more will be said later), so that even the gates of Hades will not overcome it (Matt. 16:18).
About this Plan
At the beginning of our study of the tabernacle, a choice must be made: Do we begin at the Holy of Holies as we see the Bible does in Exodus 25, or with the silver foundation of the tabernacle itself, or do we start with the courtyard, the outer fencing of the tabernacle? We start our study of the tabernacle beginning at the silver foundation of the tabernacle’s construction.
