Christ was their instructor. As He was with them in the wilderness, so after their establishment in the Promised Land He was still their Teacher and Guide. In the tabernacle and the temple His glory dwelt in the holy Shekinah above the mercy seat. In their behalf He constantly manifested the riches of His love and patience. {6T 221.3}

Kristus var den, der underviste dem. Ligesom han var med dem i ørkenen, var han fremdeles deres lærer og vejleder efter deres bosættelse i det forjættede land. I tabernaklet og i templet dvælede hans herlighed i den hellige glans over nådestolen. I deres interesse åbenbarede han stadig sin kærligheds og sin tålmodigheds rigdom.
