DISTANCED FROM GOD
Imagine having a front row seat on the east side of the tabernacle on the day it was set up. On a large bare patch of ground the golden bases for the tabernacle are set out, the frames are set into the bases, and one by one, curtains and coverings are spread over the tabernacle as it is covered in.
From where you are sitting you see the ark taken into the tent. This is the last time you will ever see the ark because it is almost immediately shielded by a curtain that blocks your view. The table, lampstand and altar of incense are placed in the tabernacle, and again, another curtain is put up, blocking your view for ever. Then the bronze altar and the basin are set out in front of the tabernacle, only to be removed from your sight once more by the curtains of the courtyard.
While seeing the tabernacle set up could have been a very joyous occasion, it could also have been one that resulted in you feeling left out as bit by bit your access to God was cut off, his holiness enhanced and our own sinfulness, unworthiness and separation from him recognised. God is holy and we must see him as separate from us, to be honoured and respected.
But in Christ, the way to God is no longer closed to our view. At his death the veil that separates us from God was torn in two, opening the way to him through our Messiah. Let us rejoice that we are no longer held back and forced off from God, but that we have been invited in through the blood of the Lamb.

In the setting up of the tabernacle, the Ark is the 1st item to be put in place. As the representation of God's mercy seat, it was the focal point, and all else is secondary.

We know from reading in the new testament book of Hebrews that these things Moses made were just "symbolic for the present time" (Heb 10:9-10). The people of Israel weren't yet able to appreciate the necessity for holiness and purity in the worship of God, so the tabernacle and furnishings were devised as a means of teaching them these things. Even though we don't have the tabernacle we still have to learn the same things. We can't just dream up our own image of God and worship that. We have to regularly approach God by reading the Bible and humble prayer, so that we learn who He is and what attitude pleases Him. For us it is much easier than for the children of Israel, because we can learn about Jesus, who embodied perfectly the attitude and character that is acceptable to God (John 14:7-9).

Exo 40:17 The tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month of the second year. Therefore the work in building the Tabernacle took no more than 9 months. Israel were at the foot of Mount Sinai when the Law and instruction for building the Tabernacle. There are 50 days between Exodus 40 verses 35 and 36. The Tabernacle remained in this first location for 50 days (Num.10:11-12) before the cloud was taken up signalling the wanderings of the children of Israel were to begin. In our journeying to the Kingdom of God we must be watchful and be guided day by day by the Scriptures of Truth.

14. And the stones <68> were according to the names <8034> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, twelve <8147> <6240>, according to their names <8034>, like the engravings <6603> of a signet <2368>, every one <376> with his name <8034>, according to the twelve <8147> <6240> tribes <7626>.
15. And they made <6213>(8799) upon the breastplate <2833> chains <8333> at the ends <1383>, of wreathen <5688> work <4639> of pure <2889> gold <2091>.

24. And they made <6213>(8799) upon the hems <7757> of the robe <4598> pomegranates <7416> of blue <8504>, and purple <713>, and scarlet <8144> <8438>, and twined <7806>(8716) linen.

43. And Moses <4872> did look <7200>(8799) upon all <3651> the work <4399>, and, behold, they had done <6213>(8804) it as the LORD <3068> had commanded <6680>(8765), even so had they done <6213>(8804) it: and Moses <4872> blessed <1288>(8762) them.
1. And the LORD <3068> spake <1696>(8762) unto Moses <4872>, saying <559>(8800),
2. On the first <7223> day <3117> of the first <259> month <2320> shalt thou set up <6965>(8686) the tabernacle <4908> of the tent <168> of the congregation <4150>.
3. And thou shalt put <7760>(8804) therein <8033> the ark <727> of the testimony <5715>, and cover <5526>(8804) the ark <727> with the vail <6532>.
4. And thou shalt bring <935>(8689) in the table <7979>, and set in order <6186>(8804) the things that are to be set in order <6187> upon it; and thou shalt bring <935>(8689) in the candlestick <4501>, and light <5927>(8689) the lamps <5216> thereof.
5. And thou shalt set <5414>(8804) the altar <4196> of gold <2091> for the incense <7004> before <6440> the ark <727> of the testimony <5715>, and put <7760>(8804) the hanging <4539> of the door <6607> to the tabernacle <4908>.
6. And thou shalt set <5414>(8804) the altar <4196> of the burnt offering <5930> before <6440> the door <6607> of the tabernacle <4908> of the tent <168> of the congregation <4150>.
7. And thou shalt set <5414>(8804) the laver <3595> between the tent <168> of the congregation <4150> and the altar <4196>, and shalt put <5414>(8804) water <4325> therein.
8. And thou shalt set up <7760>(8804) the court <2691> round about <5439>, and hang up <5414>(8804) the hanging <4539> at the court <2691> gate <8179>.
9. And thou shalt take <3947>(8804) the anointing <4888> oil <8081>, and anoint <4886>(8804) the tabernacle <4908>, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow <6942>(8765) it, and all the vessels <3627> thereof: and it shall be holy <6944>.
10. And thou shalt anoint <4886>(8804) the altar <4196> of the burnt offering <5930>, and all his vessels <3627>, and sanctify <6942>(8765) the altar <4196>: and it shall be an altar <4196> most <6944> holy <6944>.
11. And thou shalt anoint <4886>(8804) the laver <3595> and his foot <3653>, and sanctify <6942>(8765) it.
12. And thou shalt bring <7126>(8689) Aaron <175> and his sons <1121> unto the door <6607> of the tabernacle <168> of the congregation <4150>, and wash <7364>(8804) them with water <4325>.
13. And thou shalt put <3847>(8689) upon Aaron <175> the holy <6944> garments <899>, and anoint <4886>(8804) him, and sanctify <6942>(8765) him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office <3547>(8765).
14. And thou shalt bring <7126>(8686) his sons <1121>, and clothe <3847>(8689) them with coats <3801>:
15. And thou shalt anoint <4886>(8804) them, as thou didst anoint <4886>(8804) their father <1>, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office <3547>(8765): for their anointing <4888> shall surely be an everlasting <5769> priesthood <3550> throughout their generations <1755>.
16. Thus did <6213>(8799) Moses <4872>: according to all that the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>(8765) him, so did <6213>(8804) he.
17. And it came to pass in the first <7223> month <2320> in the second <8145> year <8141>, on the first <259> day of the month <2320>, that the tabernacle <4908> was reared up <6965>(8717).
18. And Moses <4872> reared up <6965>(8686) the tabernacle <4908>, and fastened <5414>(8799) his sockets <134>, and set up <7760>(8799) the boards <7175> thereof, and put <5414>(8799) in the bars <1280> thereof, and reared up <6965>(8686) his pillars <5982>.
19. And he spread abroad <6566>(8799) the tent <168> over the tabernacle <4908>, and put <7760>(8799) the covering <4372> of the tent <168> above <4605> upon it; as the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>(8765) Moses <4872>.
20. And he took <3947>(8799) and put <5414>(8799) the testimony <5715> into the ark <727>, and set <7760>(8799) the staves <905> on the ark <727>, and put <5414>(8799) the mercy seat <3727> above <4605> upon the ark <727>:
21. And he brought <935>(8686) the ark <727> into the tabernacle <4908>, and set up <7760>(8799) the vail <6532> of the covering <4539>, and covered <5526>(8686) the ark <727> of the testimony <5715>; as the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>(8765) Moses <4872>.
22. And he put <5414>(8799) the table <7979> in the tent <168> of the congregation <4150>, upon the side <3409> of the tabernacle <4908> northward <6828>, without <2351> the vail <6532>.
23. And he set <6187> the bread <3899> in order <6186>(8799) upon it before <6440> the LORD <3068>; as the LORD <3068> had commanded <6680>(8765) Moses <4872>.
24. And he put <7760>(8799) the candlestick <4501> in the tent <168> of the congregation <4150>, over against <5227> the table <7979>, on the side <3409> of the tabernacle <4908> southward <5045>.
25. And he lighted <5927>(8686) the lamps <5216> before <6440> the LORD <3068>; as the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>(8765) Moses <4872>.
26. And he put <7760>(8799) the golden <2091> altar <4196> in the tent <168> of the congregation <4150> before <6440> the vail <6532>:
27. And he burnt <6999>(8686) sweet <5561> incense <7004> thereon; as the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>(8765) Moses <4872>.
28. And he set up <7760>(8799) the hanging <4539> at the door <6607> of the tabernacle <4908>.
29. And he put <7760>(8804) the altar <4196> of burnt offering <5930> by the door <6607> of the tabernacle <4908> of the tent <168> of the congregation <4150>, and offered <5927>(8686) upon it the burnt offering <5930> and the meat offering <4503>; as the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>(8765) Moses <4872>.
30. And he set <7760>(8799) the laver <3595> between the tent <168> of the congregation <4150> and the altar <4196>, and put <5414>(8799) water <4325> there, to wash <7364>(8800) withal.
31. And Moses <4872> and Aaron <175> and his sons <1121> washed <7364>(8804) their hands <3027> and their feet <7272> thereat:
32. When they went <935>(8800) into the tent <168> of the congregation <4150>, and when they came near <7126>(8800) unto the altar <4196>, they washed <7364>(8799); as the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>(8765) Moses <4872>.
33. And he reared up <6965>(8686) the court <2691> round about <5439> the tabernacle <4908> and the altar <4196>, and set up <5414>(8799) the hanging <4539> of the court <2691> gate <8179>. So Moses <4872> finished <3615>(8762) the work <4399>.
34. Then a cloud <6051> covered <3680>(8762) the tent <168> of the congregation <4150>, and the glory <3519> of the LORD <3068> filled <4390>(8804) the tabernacle <4908>.
35. And Moses <4872> was not able <3201>(8804) to enter <935>(8800) into the tent <168> of the congregation <4150>, because the cloud <6051> abode <7931>(8804) thereon, and the glory <3519> of the LORD <3068> filled <4390>(8804) the tabernacle <4908>.
36. And when the cloud <6051> was taken up <5927>(8736) from <5921> over the tabernacle <4908>, the children <1121> of Israel <3478> went onward <5265>(8799) in all their journeys <4550>:
37. But if the cloud <6051> were not taken up <5927>(8735), then they journeyed <5265>(8799) not till the day <3117> that it was taken up <5927>(8736).
38. For the cloud <6051> of the LORD <3068> was upon the tabernacle <4908> by day <3119>, and fire <784> was on it by night <3915>, in the sight <5869> of all the house <1004> of Israel <3478>, throughout all their journeys <4550>.
Notes that are not verse specific
If ever we have been depressed or felt overwhelmed in life this Psalm is for us. Reading the Psalm should help us to understand that we can pour out our hearts to our God.

102 As you read through the Psalm look for the personal pronouns ‘I’, ‘me’, ‘my’ which demonstrates the personal nature of the Psalm.

1. A Prayer <8605> of the afflicted <6041>, when he is overwhelmed <5848>(8799), and poureth out <8210>(8799) his complaint <7879> before <6440> the LORD <3068>. Hear <8085>(8798) my prayer <8605>, O LORD <3068>, and let my cry <7775> come <935>(8799) unto thee.
2. Hide <5641>(8686) not thy face <6440> from me in the day <3117> when I am in trouble <6862>; incline <5186>(8685) thine ear <241> unto me: in the day <3117> when I call <7121>(8799) answer <6030>(8798) me speedily <4118>.
3. For my days <3117> are consumed <3615>(8804) like smoke <6227>, and my bones <6106> are burned <2787>(8738) as an hearth <4168>.
4. My heart <3820> is smitten <5221>(8717), and withered <3001>(8799) like grass <6212>; so that I forget <7911>(8804) to eat <398>(8800) my bread <3899>.
5. By reason of the voice <6963> of my groaning <585> my bones <6106> cleave <1692>(8804) to my skin <1320>.
6. I am like <1819>(8804) a pelican <6893> of the wilderness <4057>: I am like an owl <3563> of the desert <2723>.
7. I watch <8245>(8804), and am as a sparrow <6833> alone <909>(8802) upon the house top <1406>.
8. Mine enemies <341>(8802) reproach <2778>(8765) me all the day <3117>; and they that are mad <1984>(8781) against me are sworn <7650>(8738) against me.
9. For I have eaten <398>(8804) ashes <665> like bread <3899>, and mingled <4537>(8804) my drink <8249> with weeping <1065>,
10. Because <6440> of thine indignation <2195> and thy wrath <7110>: for thou hast lifted me up <5375>(8804), and cast me down <7993>(8686).
11. My days <3117> are like a shadow <6738> that declineth <5186>(8803); and I am withered <3001>(8799) like grass <6212>.
12. But thou, O LORD <3068>, shalt endure <3427>(8799) for ever <5769>; and thy remembrance <2143> unto all <1755> generations <1755>.
13. Thou shalt arise <6965>(8799), and have mercy <7355>(8762) upon Zion <6726>: for the time <6256> to favour <2603>(8800) her, yea, the set time <4150>, is come <935>(8804).
14. For thy servants <5650> take pleasure <7521>(8804) in her stones <68>, and favour <2603>(8779) the dust <6083> thereof.
15. So the heathen <1471> shall fear <3372>(8799) the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>, and all the kings <4428> of the earth <776> thy glory <3519>.
16. When the LORD <3068> shall build up <1129>(8804) Zion <6726>, he shall appear <7200>(8738) in his glory <3519>.
17. He will regard <6437>(8804) the prayer <8605> of the destitute <6199>, and not despise <959>(8804) their prayer <8605>.
18. This shall be written <3789>(8735) for the generation <1755> to come <314>: and the people <5971> which shall be created <1254>(8737) shall praise <1984>(8762) the LORD <3050>.
19. For he hath looked down <8259>(8689) from the height <4791> of his sanctuary <6944>; from heaven <8064> did the LORD <3068> behold <5027>(8689) the earth <776>;
20. To hear <8085>(8800) the groaning <603> of the prisoner <615>; to loose <6605>(8763) those that are appointed <1121> to death <8546>;
21. To declare <5608>(8763) the name <8034> of the LORD <3068> in Zion <6726>, and his praise <8416> in Jerusalem <3389>;
22. When the people <5971> are gathered <6908>(8736) together <3162>, and the kingdoms <4467>, to serve <5647>(8800) the LORD <3068>.
23. He weakened <6031>(8765) my strength <3581> in the way <1870>; he shortened <7114>(8765) my days <3117>.
24. I said <559>(8799), O my God <410>, take me not away <5927>(8686) in the midst <2677> of my days <3117>: thy years <8141> are throughout all <1755> generations <1755>.
25. Of old <6440> hast thou laid the foundation <3245>(8804) of the earth <776>: and the heavens <8064> are the work <4639> of thy hands <3027>.
26. They shall perish <6>(8799), but thou shalt endure <5975>(8799): yea, all of them shall wax old <1086>(8799) like a garment <899>; as a vesture <3830> shalt thou change <2498>(8686) them, and they shall be changed <2498>(8799):
27. But thou art the same, and thy years <8141> shall have no end <8552>(8735).
28. The children <1121> of thy servants <5650> shall continue <7931>(8799), and their seed <2233> shall be established <3559>(8735) before <6440> thee.

1. Moreover <1161>, brethren <80>, I would <2309>(5719) not <3756> that ye <5209> should be ignorant <50>(5721), how that <3754> all <3956> our <2257> fathers <3962> were <2258>(5713) under <5259> the cloud <3507>, and <2532> all <3956> passed <1330>(5627) through <1223> the sea <2281>;
2. And <2532> were <907> <0> all <3956> baptized <907>(5668) unto <1519> Moses <3475> in <1722> the cloud <3507> and <2532> in <1722> the sea <2281>;
3. And <2532> did <5315> <0> all <3956> eat <5315>(5627) the same <846> spiritual <4152> meat <1033>;
4. And <2532> did <4095> <0> all <3956> drink <4095>(5627) the same <846> spiritual <4152> drink <4188>: for <1063> they drank <4095>(5707) of <1537> that spiritual <4152> Rock <4073> that followed them <190>(5723): and <1161> that Rock <4073> was <2258>(5713) Christ <5547>.
5. But <235> with <1722> many <4119> of them <846> God <2316> was <2106> <0> not <3756> well pleased <2106>(5656): for <1063> they were overthrown <2693>(5681) in <1722> the wilderness <2048>.
6. Now <1161> these things <5023> were <1096>(5675) our <2257> examples <5179>, to the intent <1519> we <2248> should <1511>(5750) not <3361> lust after evil <2556> things <1938>, as <2531> they also <2548> lusted <1937>(5656).
7. Neither <3366> be ye <1096>(5737) idolaters <1496>, as <2531> were some <5100> of them <846>; as <5613> it is written <1125>(5769), The people <2992> sat down <2523>(5656) to eat <5315>(5629) and <2532> drink <4095>(5629), and <2532> rose up <450>(5656) to play <3815>(5721).
8. Neither <3366> let us commit fornication <4203>(5725), as <2531> some <5100> of them <846> committed <4203>(5656), and <2532> fell <4098>(5627) in <1722> one <3391> day <2250> three <5140> and twenty <1501> thousand <5505>.
9. Neither <3366> let us tempt <1598>(5725) Christ <5547>, as <2531> some <5100> of them <846> also <2532> tempted <3985>(5656), and <2532> were destroyed <622>(5639) of <5259> serpents <3789>.
10. Neither <3366> murmur ye <1111>(5720), as <2531> some <5100> of them <846> also <2532> murmured <1111>(5656), and <2532> were destroyed <622>(5639) of <5259> the destroyer <3644>.
11. Now <1161> all <3956> these things <5023> happened <4819>(5707) unto them <1565> for ensamples <5179>: and <1161> they are written <1125>(5648) for <4314> our <2257> admonition <3559>, upon <1519> whom <3739> the ends <5056> of the world <165> are come <2658>(5656).
12. Wherefore <5620> let <991> <0> him that thinketh <1380>(5723) he standeth <2476>(5760) take heed <991>(5720) lest <3361> he fall <4098>(5632).
13. There hath <2983> <0> no <3756> temptation <3986> taken <2983>(5758) you <5209> but <1508> such as is common to man <442>: but <1161> God <2316> is faithful <4103>, who <3739> will <1439> <0> not <3756> suffer <1439>(5692) you <5209> to be tempted <3985>(5683) above <5228> that <3739> ye are able <1410>(5736); but <235> will <4160> <0> with <4862> the temptation <3986> also <2532> make <4160>(5692) a way to escape <1545>, that ye <5209> may be able <1410>(5738) to bear <5297>(5629) it.
14. Wherefore <1355>, my <3450> dearly beloved <27>, flee <5343>(5720) from <575> idolatry <1495>.
15. I speak <3004>(5719) as <5613> to wise men <5429>; judge <2919>(5657) ye <5210> what <3739> I say <5346>(5748).
16. The cup <4221> of blessing <2129> which <3739> we bless <2127>(5719), is it <2076>(5748) not <3780> the communion <2842> of the blood <129> of Christ <5547>? The bread <740> which <3739> we break <2806>(5719), is it <2076>(5748) not <3780> the communion <2842> of the body <4983> of Christ <5547>?
17. For <3754> we <2070> <0> being many <4183> are <2070>(5748) one <1520> bread <740>, and one <1520> body <4983>: for <1063> we are <3348> <0> all <3956> partakers <3348>(5719) of <1537> that one <1520> bread <740>.
18. Behold <991>(5720) Israel <2474> after <2596> the flesh <4561>: are <1526> <0> not <3780> they <1526>(5748) which eat <2068>(5723) of the sacrifices <2378> partakers <2844> of the altar <2379>?
19. What <5101> say I <5346>(5748) then <3767>? that <3754> the idol <1497> is <2076>(5748) any thing <5100>, or <2228> that <3754> which is offered in sacrifice to idols <1494> is <2076>(5748) any thing <5100>?
20. But <235> I say, that <3754> the things which <3739> the Gentiles <1484> sacrifice <2380>(5719), they sacrifice <2380>(5719) to devils <1140>, and <2532> not <3756> to God <2316>: and <1161> I would <2309>(5719) not <3756> that ye <5209> should have <1096>(5738) fellowship <2844> with devils <1140>.
21. Ye cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) drink <4095>(5721) the cup <4221> of the Lord <2962>, and <2532> the cup <4221> of devils <1140>: ye cannot <3756> <1410>(5736) be partakers <3348>(5721) of the Lord's <2962> table <5132>, and <2532> of the table <5132> of devils <1140>.
22. Do we provoke <2228> <3863> <0> the Lord <2962> to jealousy <3863>(5719)? are we <2070>(5748) stronger than <3361> <2478> he <846>?
23. All things <3956> are lawful <1832>(5748) for me <3427>, but <235> all things <3956> are <4851> <0> not <3756> expedient <4851>(5719): all things <3956> are lawful <1832>(5748) for me <3427>, but <235> all things <3956> edify <3618>(5719) not <3756>.
24. Let <2212> <0> no man <3367> seek <2212>(5720) his own <1438>, but <235> every man <1538> another's <2087> wealth.
25. Whatsoever <3956> is sold <4453>(5746) in <1722> the shambles <3111>, that eat <2068>(5720), asking <350> <0> no <3367> question <350>(5723) for <1223> <0> conscience <4893> sake <1223>:
26. For <1063> the earth <1093> is the Lord's <2962>, and <2532> the fulness <4138> thereof <846>.
27. <1161> If any <1536> of them that believe not <571> bid <2564>(5719) you <5209> to a feast, and <2532> ye be disposed <2309>(5719) to go <4198>(5738); whatsoever <3956> is set before <3908>(5746) you <5213>, eat <2068>(5720), asking <350> <0> no <3367> question <350>(5723) for <1223> <0> conscience <4893> sake <1223>.
28. But <1161> if <1437> any man <5100> say <2036>(5632) unto you <5213>, This <5124> is <2076>(5748) offered in sacrifice unto idols <1494>, eat <2068>(5720) not <3361> for <1223> his sake <1565> that shewed it <3377>(5660), and <2532> for conscience sake <4893>: for <1063> the earth <1093> is the Lord's <2962>, and <2532> the fulness <4138> thereof <846>:
29. Conscience <4893>, <1161> I say <3004>(5719), not <3780> thine own <1438>, but <235> of the other <2087>: for <1063> why <2444> <5101> is <2919> <0> my <3450> liberty <1657> judged <2919>(5743) of <5259> another <243> man's conscience <4893>?
30. For <1161> if <1487> I <1473> by grace <5485> be a partaker <3348>(5719), why <5101> am I evil spoken of <987>(5743) for that <5228> for which <3739> I <1473> give thanks <2168>(5719)?
31. Whether <1535> therefore <3767> ye eat <2068>(5719), or <1535> drink <4095>(5719), or <1535> whatsoever <5100> ye do <4160>(5719), do <4160>(5720) all <3956> to <1519> the glory <1391> of God <2316>.
32. Give <1096>(5737) none offence <677>, neither <2532> to the Jews <2453>, nor <2532> to the Gentiles <1672>, nor <2532> to the church <1577> of God <2316>:
33. Even as <2531> I <2504> please <700>(5719) all <3956> men in all <3956> things, not <3361> seeking <2212>(5723) mine own <1683> profit <4851>(5723), but <235> the profit <3588> of many <4183>, that <2443> they may be saved <4982>(5686).
