A Tent Was Prepared

Hebrews 9:2 (ESV)
2 For a tent was prepared, the first section, in which were the lampstand and the table and the bread of the Presence. It is called the Holy Place.

Paul was a tent-maker by trade, but he was a tent-maker in more than one sense. Our mortal bodies have been compared to tents, temporary shelter of spirits which will find true residence in the house of God. The Gospel he preached is the power of God to renew our spirits, made alive in these “tents” during our short existence here on earth. It is here we encounter the light revealed by the bread of life. It is for this reason that a tent was prepared.
