"The Book of Hebrews explained why God insisted that the pattern be followed so exactly: They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven (Heb 8:5). In other words, the Ancient Temple was meant to be a replica, or pattern of the heavenly sanctuary."

A lot of preachers Scripture surf to buttress their sermons. Here, Charles makes a point the letter to the Hebrews did NOT make. On the contrary, The main point of what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle that the Lord, not man, set up.(8:1-2)

Heavenly. Superior. The LORD set it up, not man. No more copy/shadow system. Can be accessed by anyone on earth, anywhere, anytime...by FAITH in the risen Lord.

SHEKINAH
SHEKINAR
MISHKAN

refers the dwelling place of God

His SHEKINAH Glory, refers to the pillar of fire, which preceded the Hebrew nation as they traveled through the desert by night or pillar of smoke by day and when they settled, they erected the Tabernacle tent (Latin for tent), it is referenced as the MISHKAN or Dwelling Place, same root as SHEKINAH, to dwell.

The Halo depicted about a saints head in paintings has its root in the SHEKINAH Glory present today. It might be manifest by the indwelling of God in the believer in our human spirit.

There are no holy buildings today in the Church Age, because God chooses by His Volition, known as His Sovereignty, where He is going to dwell. In His Plan, He now dwells in the human spirit of the believer.

While an auditorium meeting place of believers is a good place for architectural symbology, to educate the believers in His Word, their design indeed may take on many of the same aspects of the Tabernacle.
