The Patterns in the Kingdom of God

Exodus 25:40NKJV And see to it that you make them according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.

Romans 12:2NIV  Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

When Noah was commanded to build the ark, he was given a very detailed instruction by God.

When Moses was commanded to build a tabernacle, he also received every detail of what materials to use and how to go about building it.

When Jesus gave His very first sermon on the mount, He explicitly said that He did not come to abolish the Laws and the Prophets, but to fulfill them. So when He taught His disciples to pray, one element there was, "
Let your will be done here on it, as it is in heaven." That is, whatever pattern is in heaven so be it so here on earth, in our lives. Obviously, the pattern of this world is contrary to the heavenly pattern. It will do well for us to learn God's patterns.
