The author of the Hebrew epistle, governed in his utterances by the inspiration that was from the God of the Bible, gives us to understand that the tabernacle established by Moses was, in its priesthood, its furniture, and its service, shadowy, hence, temporal, and, as a consequence, to be abolished in order to the establishing of the new, the perfect tabernacle, the true priesthood, and the spiritual service in Christ.
