SABBATH SNAPSHOTS: Looking Down on God's Creation

A smattering---the aftermath of cherry blossoms

3/25/12 As the Lord gave the pattern for the building of the Tabernacle in Exodus 25, it's easy to understand why he included the beauty of buds and blossoms of flowers in its design.

8“Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them. 9 Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you.

31 “Make a lampstand of pure gold. Hammer out its base and shaft, and make its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them.
