Leviticus 16:16 ESV
Thus he shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleannesses of the people of Israel and because of their transgressions, all their sins. And so he shall do for the tent of meeting, which dwells with them in the midst of their uncleannesses.
God dwelled with the Israelites in the desert, coming in their midst in the tent of meeting.
He came again among us as His Son in the midst of our uncleanness. That tent took the form of our flesh so that we would find the way to cleanness. In the role of a lamb to be sacrificed, He came to show the way out of the desert.
He will come again as King and He will do away with the wilderness and be in our midst forevermore.
