Building up the Temple

The children sometimes sing, "We're building up the Temple, building up the Temple, building up the Temple of the Lord - - -"
It is very interesting to read about the construction of the Tabernacle in the book of Exodus (chapters 35-40).  In chapter 35, verse 4, we read:  "And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the Lord commanded---
The Lord gave Moses very detailed and explicit instructions for the building.  In chapter 39, when they were making the holy garments for Aaron, it often says---"as the Lord commanded Moses". 
In verses 42 and 43, we find these words:
     "According to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.  And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the Lord had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them."
In chapter 40, the Lord gave instructions to Moses for setting up the Tabernacle.  At least seven times in this last chapter of Exodus, it repeats the words -- "as the Lord commanded Moses",  and in verses 33-35, we read: 
     "And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate.  So Moses finished the work.
      Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle!"  Praise the Lord!!

If we will do ALL that the Lord commands, He will lead us and His glory will fill us!
