Spiritual Significance of the Tent, House, and Tabernacle
All believers are spiritually living in tents because a tent symbolizes a temporary shelter, not a permanent dwelling. As sojourners, we are awaiting entry into the Promised Land. In this journey, we must feed on spiritual food and live in Christ, ensuring we don’t perish in the wilderness.
The Tent House Tabernacle has deep biblical roots. The Tabernacle of Moses, for example, was modeled after a heavenly prototype. Within its sanctuary, worshippers were found in different dwellings, each symbolizing varying levels of spiritual intimacy with God. This prompts a question: What about the Church today?
Jesus said, “At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you” (John 14:20). However, it is true that not all believers are fully in Christ.
A tent, a house, and a tabernacle each signify a dwelling. The Tabernacle of Moses was divided into three sections:
- The Outer Court
- The Holy Place
- The Most Holy Place
In the Old Testament, only the high priest could enter the Most Holy Place, and that was once a year to atone for the people’s sins. However, when Jesus died on the cross, the veil separating the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place was torn in two, granting everyone access to this sacred space.
Today, we may worship together in one physical church building, but spiritually, we often occupy different “dwellings.” Some remain in the Outer Court, others in the Holy Place, but the ultimate call is to ascend into the Most Holy Place. Here, we meet Christ, the High Priest, personally and intimately.
The invitation is clear: Do not remain in the Outer Court. Do not stop at the Holy Place. Instead, come up higher into the Holiest Place, and be fully in Christ, the Living Word.

Why the Name Tent House Tabernacle?
On December 14, 2008, I had a dream that profoundly impacted me:
I found myself surrounded by a multitude of people, though I couldn’t recognize anyone. After some time, I moved to a different area and began walking alone along a tarred road. Suddenly, it started raining. I looked around for a car or motorbike to help me, but none were in sight. As I kept walking, I wondered aloud, “Will I ever get there?”
Eventually, I arrived at a house and stepped inside. There were a few people there, but, again, I couldn’t identify them. In one corner of the house, I noticed a pool of water. The people inside were talking, and among them, I saw a minister of the gospel. However, after a short while, he disappeared.
Curious, I started searching for him. Then, the Spirit ministered to me, saying he must have gone upstairs. I turned and saw a staircase leading to the upper floor. As I climbed, I noticed the walls were made of stone and inscribed with strange writings.
Reaching the next floor, I entered a room and sat down on a chair. As I settled in, the chair tilted slightly, allowing me to see the ground floor below. For a moment, I feared I might fall, but the chair balanced itself. Looking down, I saw people talking and some glancing upward at me.
Then, I woke up. The dream left me troubled and deeply reflective, wondering about its meaning. Later, as I drifted back to sleep, I heard a clear voice say, “Tent House.” Startled, I woke up again and saw it was just a few minutes before 5 a.m.
When the time came to register a church with the Ministry of Religion, I deliberated on what name to choose. That dream came back to me, and it became the inspiration for the name: Tent House Tabernacle.
Tent House Tabernacle
It is about reconciliation through the Blood, and Word of our Lord Jesus. In essence, contending for the faith once delivered unto the saints. The Bible is our absolute authority. We do not despise prophecy, but test everything; hold fast what is good.
