19 Σηκωθητι, βοησον την νυκτα, οταν αρχιζωσιν αι φυλακαι· εκχεον την καρδιαν σου ως υδωρ εμπροσθεν του προσωπου του Κυριου· υψωσον προς αυτον τας χειρας σου, δια την ζωην των νηπιων σου, τα οποια λιποθυμουσιν απο της πεινης επι των ακρων πασων των οδων.

9478. Verses 8-9 And they are to make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst. In accordance with all that I show you, the pattern of the dwelling-place and the pattern of all its vessels, just so you shall make it.

'And they are to make Me a sanctuary' means a representative of the Lord, and so of heaven. 'That I may dwell in their midst' means the Lord's presence as a result in the representative Church. 'In accordance with all that I show you, the pattern of the dwelling-place' means a representative of heaven where the Lord is. 'And the pattern of all its vessels' means a representative of all the celestial and spiritual realities that He is the source of. 'Just so you shall make it' means a definite and true representative.
