The Temple and the Tabernackle

AB obsessed with building one in Evermarch
There is one in Strake and Kirkland
Chapter 7
He stood up and looked out of the window. He was on one of the upper floors and could see the Temple and Tabernacle from where he was. The Temple was modelled on Solomon’s, but on a grander scale, while the Tabernacle, built to the precise measurements specified in the Bible, down to the last ringlet, resided within the inner courtyard of the Temple. It was this sort of monstrosity that Sinclair wanted built in Evermarch. It was dark now, but it was all lit up. Thorman was not a fan, it looked like an impracticable construction. The first Christian churches had been Roman grain sheds, so the idea of using civic buildings such as Merric College appealed to him. After having a bath, he read passages of the Bible that he thought might be useful for tomorrow’s meeting with God for several hours and then went to bed.
Thorman had entered the Strake Temple many times before and he had to admit it was impressive when you walked up to it. He had not slept well, but he had carefully combed and trimmed his beard that morning and made sure his robes were freshly pressed. An Acolyte had come to meet him at the hotel and take him across to the Temple. Its front archway was very tall and intimidating, as such structures were meant to be, and once in the outer courtyard they crossed to the next tall arch and into the inner area. Here was the Tabernacle, essentially a large marquee tent surrounded by a rectangular canvas fence. A splendid arrangement if you were conducting a church service in the desert, a decidedly cold and draughty affair if you were doing it in Scotland on a chilly December morning.
Other bishops were drifting in, the elderly ones looked somewhat absurd in their thick thermal coats and woolly hats. The Tabernacle would be too small to hold them all though, so they walked past that, the outer altar on the right and the Molten Sea on the left. God would be appearing to them on the steps of the porch, between the two huge bronze pillars that guarded the main chamber.
