The Bible Tabernacle located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania is a life-size replica based on what is being described in the Bible. It makes the Bible story about the tabernacle come to life!
The tabernacle is located in the Mennonite Visitor Center and is run by the Mennonites. Before entering the tabernacle, there is a glass window wall on the right reflecting a full-scale replica of the Court and Brazen altar.
There is also a seer mural on the wall on the opposite side showing the entire Israelite camp.
The tour (45 mins. to 1 hr.) starts with a 20-minute video presentation at the auditorium about the Mennonites, after which the visitors would then be ushered into the ante-room of the tabernacle area and hear a 20-minute live narrative about the biblical history and the significance of the tabernacle by a tour guide.
The tour is informative which significantly enhances the experience when it comes to knowledge and background necessary for proper understanding about the tabernacle, especially for those who are unfamiliar with all its details and symbolism.
The tour shows the Holy Place, the High Priest and the Veil in the background; the Ark of the Covenant and other more details.
For those who know little about biblical history, this presentation about the tabernacle is fascinating and interesting. For those who know, it makes the story come to life.
