A Glimpse of Heavenly Beauty

The tabernacle's inner curtains were made of the finest materials and adorned with images of cherubim. Commentators explain this wasn't for mere visual appeal but to symbolize the preciousness of God's presence and the spiritual beauty of the Church. As John Calvin notes, this exquisite beauty was hidden under plainer outer layers, teaching believers to look beyond the physical to the spiritual glory of God's dwelling place.
