Daniel Smith from Messages of Christ recently created a video explaining the symbolism of the Tabernacle of Moses using a detailed replica built by the Murrieta and Huntington Beach Stakes for their 2016 Tabernacle Youth Camp. This video demonstrates how each part of this sacred structure was designed to help others think of our Savior and God, and many similarities can be seen behind the Tabernacle of Moses and our temples today.
