This lesson is not on the Tabernacle proper but is on those who would be working in and around the tabernacle but the meaning has not changed. Everything about the Tabernacle pointed to the lord Jesus Christ in one way or another and the priesthood and even the garments worn by the priests is NOT an exception.
