Moses was ordered to build the Tabernacle (a type of portable Temple) exactly like the pattern given to him
by the angel
Exo 25:8-9 And let them make Me a sanctuary, so that I may dwell among them. According to all
that I show you, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments of it, even so
you shall make it.
Exo 25:40 And see that you make them after their pattern, which was shown you in the
mountain.
Book of Hebrews says:
(Heb 8:5) Moses was warned of God when he was about to make the tabernacle. For, He says "See
that you make all things according to the pattern shown to you in the mountain."
The 24 priestly divisions in Solomon’s Temple (1 Chronicles 24:1–18) represented the 24 elders in the
heavenly Temple mentioned in Revelation 5:8.
There were also four major Israelite tribes that encamped around the Tabernacle with their standards with a
Lion, Eagle holding Snake, Man and Bull with their counterparts in heaven of the four Cherubs (Ezekiel
1:10; Revelation 4:7.).
