<p>Exodus 37:25-40:38 We are in the World Stream finishing the book of Exodus. We are reading from the New American Standard Bible this week. <span style="font-size: 1rem;">7streamsmethod.com | @7StreamsMethod | @serenatravis | #7Stream | <a href= "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=YPPA8XGTQ2YHU">Donate</a></span> <span style="font-size: 1rem;">Commentary by Dr. Drake Travis</span></p> <blockquote> <div>God we thank you for visiting us and all who will prepare themselves to come into the Presence of You. Thank for availing yourself to us. To be with YOU is the blessing of all blessings.  Amen</div> </blockquote> <p>37 - Bezalel made the ark of the covenant, the table for it, the lampstand, and the altar of incense.  Take a moment in your mind to transport back 33+ centuries and imagine yourself walking quietly up to Bezalel at work. "Bezalel, what are you making?"      "A box of acacia wood to be covered in gold to hold the X Commandments..."    "What's the significance of this?"  To which Bezalel replies, "all society hinges upon what's in this box for all time!  The governments who ignore these Commandments shall crumble, as will the nations, the states, the communities, neighborhoods and families and individuals. The opposite is more true...all who honor and follow these commands will become eternally blessed.  This box is not just a part of history, it IS history. In fact history <em>pivots</em> upon the contents of this box!"  After this conversation there is nothing left to do but walk away backward, in awe in the presence of the work of a holy God that is a consuming fire.</p> <div>38 - Everything that was described a few chapters back is completed at this point. In 38 the Altar is the completed, and the laver, and the court; the gorgeous linen perimeter of the Tabernacle.  All contents for the Tabernacle were completed.  The mathematics of this are staggering.  It's too much to sum up.  We will just leave you with this, however - there was over 2200 lbs. of gold involved
