The Temple and 1260 days Bible Prophecy
Measuring the Tabernacle Curtains
and comparing them with Bible-Prophecy time spansContinued
Total Material Used
(Based on Exodus 26)
The total material used can be viewed several ways. One way is this:
| The material visible as it was placed piece by piece over the Tabernacle: 1120 + 1260 + 1260 +1260 = 4900 square cubits, which is 70 squared, which is akin to the Daniel 9 figure of 490, (70 x 7). (Recall Jesus' words, "How often shall I forgive my brother, till seven times? No, but until 70 x 7 times, (or, 77)." These are fitting words for atonement coverings/curtains.) All these figures directly relate to the temple/Tabernacle in the prophecies to do with the 7, 430, 1260, 1290, 77 and 490 (70 x 7). Even the '1120' of the first curtain is (for some reason) one month short of the '1150' of Daniel 8:14. '1120' is also, four-squared times 70. |

| Alternatively, the actual total covering material used was, 1120 + 1320 + 1320 + 1320 = 5080 square cubits, which is 1270 square cubits average, (4 x 1270 = 5080). "1270" is a three-and-a-half-year period on the lunar (moon) Jewish calendar, where as '1260' is based on the solar (sun). Hence, we have the testimony of both sun and the moon to the Messiah, Jesus. Also, the first three curtains, as, 1320 + 1260 + 1260 = 3840, which is the first major cycle of the 360 calendar. |
| The final way the Tabernacle-covering material can be reckoned is in regard to the grand total of all material used, including the two curtains used for the entrance: 1320 x 4 = 5280; which works out to 11 x 480, and hence signifies 77 years, as said earlier. ("...Forgive your brother 77 times...") |
