Exploring the Theocratic Relationship between God and the Israelites

God established a unique theocratic relationship with the Israelites, where He would be their king, dwelling among them in the form of the glory cloud. Through this arrangement, the Israelites could approach and worship Him through sacrificial offerings. This relationship lasted from 1446 to 592 BC, during which God physically ruled in the midst of His people. However, this theocratic arrangement was suspended when the glory cloud departed in 592 BC. Despite this, there is hope for its restoration in the future when Jesus will reign physically in Israel. During the theocratic rule, God instructed Moses to build the tabernacle as His throne room, symbolizing His presence and kingship among His people. God empowered artisans to construct the tabernacle through His theocratic anointing, enabling them with various skills overnight. This theocratic relationship highlights God's reign and presence among His people for about 800 years.
