      Builders for God - Hayes Press

      CHAPTER ONE: MOSES, THE FAITHFUL PATTERN FOLLOWER (JAMES NEEDHAM)

      It takes a team of experts to bring the vision of a designer into a completed reality. From the moment the architect draws up the first plan until the surveyor finally certifies completion of a building, engineers, planning consultants, quantity surveyors, contractors and lawyers all play a part using their expertise. It can be a long and complicated process, and will only be a success if the whole team works together to agree the process and construct the building - all in line with the plans and specification.

      It is a very different picture when God commissions His servants to build something for Him. When God called on Pharaoh to ‘let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness’ (Ex.7:16), He had in view a building which the children of Israel would construct for Him and which would be central to their service as God’s holy nation. No team of experts would be required to input into the plans, for this building had a great design and a supreme Designer, one admired by Abraham who himself looked forward to a future work by the same Architect (Heb.11:10). In this wilderness building, God would be the Architect, the Designer and the Occupier; its design and composition were by Him and for Him. The responsibility for overseeing the work of building it was placed into the hands of one man prepared for the task: Moses.

      Commissioned for the Work

      As Israel camped at the foot of Sinai, Moses mediated between God and His people (Deut.5:4-5). There in the mountain, Moses received from God the promise to Israel of covenant relationship (Ex.19:5-6), and the Law to regulate that relationship, to which they pledged their obedience (Ex.24:3,7). The covenant having been confirmed by the sprinkling of the blood of sacrifice (Ex.24:8), God called Moses to return to the mountain, where he waited for six days. It was on the seventh day, perhaps the day that spoke of divine rest (Gen.2:2), that God began to tell Moses of a building essential to the covenant, in which He would find His rest amongst His people (Ex.24:16).

      It was there that God expressed to Moses His desire to have a dwelling-place in the midst of His chosen people: ‘let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them’ (Ex.25:8). The instructions Moses received for the building of the Tabernacle, and for the clothing and consecration of the priests who would serve in it, were precise and complete. The design and pattern for the building were all of God, and Moses was to oversee the work in strict conformity with what God had revealed: ‘see to it that you make them according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain’ (Ex.25:40).

      The singular importance of this principle is confirmed in its repetition to Moses on two further occasions (Ex.26:30; 27:8), and its reference by the Holy Spirit a further three times throughout the Scriptures (Num.8:4; Acts 7:44; Heb.8:5). When it came to God’s design for His house, there was no room either for human intervention or variation. God had drawn up the plans; Moses’ task was to ensure that the building met the pattern in every detail. And to make certain that in no part of the work would Moses have to apply his own interpretation, not only was the pattern described to Moses but it was also physically shown to him: ‘our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as He appointed, instructing Moses to make it according to the pattern that he had seen’ (literally ‘seen with his eyes’, ‘stared at’) (Acts 7:44).

      Moses’ Faithful Service

      Moses knew the importance and the care with which these instructions were to be handled. Although he had experienced God speaking to him ‘face to face, as a man speaks to his friend’ (Ex.33:11), Moses did not allow any sense of familiarity to impede the humble and reverent obedience demanded by the God of the house of God (Gen.31:13), before whom even Moses said, I am exceedingly afraid and trembling (Heb.12:21). It was in this spirit of faithful service that Moses oversaw the work of construction, ensuring that the artisans of Israel should channel the use of their gifts to accomplish not what was in their own minds, but only what God had designed and revealed: "I have put wisdom in the hearts of all who are gifted artisans, that they may make all that I have commanded you ... According to all that
