The Sanctuary, Eden, Canaan, and the Sanctuary in the New Testament

The Eden imagery of the sanctuary symbolizes that, you know, when you enter it, the separation from God's immediate presence and paradise is reversed. And to enter the Christian story a bit, if I may, this is like how Jesus restores the people to full communion with God. That's why it's pretty huge that the opening of John's gospel calls Jesus the tabernacle. It's said that John's gospel portrays Jesus in his most exalted form.
