G.W. North emphasizes the profound connection between the throne and the altar as depicted in the tabernacle's design, illustrating how the Mercy Seat, where God's presence dwelled, was intrinsically linked to the principle of sacrifice. He explains that the blood of atonement sprinkled on the Mercy Seat signifies the necessity of sacrifice for both the national life of Israel and individual relationships with God. North highlights that this divine principle is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who embodies the ultimate sacrifice, making the throne and altar one in essence. The eternal fire of God's presence, visible by night, symbolizes the unending nature of Christ's sacrifice, which transcends physical offerings. Ultimately, North concludes that all aspects of the tabernacle point to Christ as the singular source of redemption and atonement.
