Exo 26:9 | KingComments | STEP | Over the ten colored curtains are eleven curtains of goats’ hair. The clothing of prophets is also of goats’ hair. Prophets speak to the people when they have deviated. They themselves do not participate in this deviation. They are separated for God. A goat is also the animal par excellence that is used as a sin offering. In the sin offering everything is judged that does not belong to God. The curtains of goats’ hair speak of the complete separation from sin. We see this perfectly in the life of the Lord Jesus and His service as a Prophet Who speaks to the people on behalf of God. Separation should also be the hallmark of the church. The church does not belong to the world and may not mix with it. It is precisely in the separation from the world that a prophetic message goes out to the people of the world to repent, to say goodbye to the world and to participate in the blessings of the church.
