Picture: Q4. Why so many biblical references to the earthly sanctuary and heavenly sanctuary? JTLD 53.1

God is trying to show how much He loves each of us! We have been separated by sin from our loving heavenly Father. God longs to reunite us to Himself and illustrates the path home to His heart through the various elements of the sanctuary—its courtyard and two apartments, the Holy Place and Most Holy Place. Each area and each piece of furniture says something beautiful about Jesus and a phase of His plan to reconcile us, redeem us, and bring us home to heaven at last. JTLD 53.2
