Her feet were shod with badgers skin. Eze. 16:10 While there is some controversy as to the exact animal referred to here, that is not the important thought. The animal would have had to have been slain and itís blood shed. That speaks to us of atonement. Feet, belonging to the redeemed, walking in the will and purpose of the Lord. It conveys the thought of feet that are steadfast in following the Lord. A foundation, causing one to stand firmly in the will of the Lord. Ps. 119:101 This skin was used as the outer cover, protecting the tabernacle from the weather and all outside influences. The child of the Lord has the right of having their feet shod with the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Eph. 6:15 The woman of Rev. 12:1 has the moon, a type of the crucified body of Christ, under her feet as a true foundation. His Bride He will keep from falling and she will walk before Him, in His light of life. Ps. 56:13
Girded with fine linen. In the construction of the tabernacle linen was use extensively. Of particular interest is the fact that the beautiful linen threads were spun and made into cloth by the women. These women were consider to be wise hearted, experts, highly skilled in the process of manufacturing linen. Ex. 35:25 It must also be noted that their motivation was from a heart which was inspired and aroused, they worked willingly and with excitement in all of their preparation of coverings for the tabernacle. Ex. 25:36 The wife of the Son of God, the Lord Jesus will be clothed in a linen which exceeds the materials of this world for it is the righteousness of the saints. Rev. 19:8
Covered with silk. Eze. 16:10 A material not used in the tabernacle. However, we are looking at type and shadow. To cover is to seclude or hide. To protect and assure peace and security. Silk is produced from the death of the moth in itís cocoon. Our assurance of protection is in the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. He is our secret place. Ps. 91:1 The woman of Revelation twelve, the Bride of Christ, will spend the time of the great tribulation in a secret place prepared especially and exclusively for her. Rev. 12:6, 14 For just a glimpse of that wilderness consider the statement made in Isa. 4:5 Wilderness with the presence of the Lord manifest in the form of a cloud and a pillar of fire are familiar, for it was the Divine evidence of the protection of Israel, in their wilderness. It will be repeated as His protection for those who have become His very own. The love and delight of His heart. His glory will protect her and keep her from harm for three and one half years.
