"Let Zion in Her Beauty Rise" by Marshall McDonald
https://www.marshallmcdonaldmusic.com

Dr. Ross Baron joins Follow Him to discuss the Old Testament tabernacle and sacrifice, showing how it creates sacred space separate from everyday life. He explains its symbolism—including layout, furnishings, and priestly clothing—as a pattern for returning to God’s presence. He connects these practices to modern temple worship, highlighting sacrifices as symbols of Jesus Christ and His Atonement.
