The TabernacleA floor plan of the gospel. Eight furniture pieces, three concentric zones, one veil torn the moment Christ died. Among the most architecturally complete typological structures in Scripture.
Ezekiel's Temple, Ezekiel 40–48The measured temple of Ezekiel 40–48 drawn from its own cubits, the glory returning by the east gate, and a river that heals a dead sea.

The Day of AtonementLeviticus 16, walked in the chapter's own order — one man, one day a year, within the veil; two goats that are one offering; and the letter to the Hebrews reading the whole day as a shadow of Christ.
The Sacrificial SystemThe five offerings of Leviticus 1–7 — burnt, grain, peace, sin, guilt — laid out as the structured system they are, and Hebrews 7–10 as the canon's own commentary on all of them.
The BloodLeviticus 17:11's ruling traced through the doorposts, Sinai, the Day of Atonement, the cup of the new covenant, and the blood of the Lamb in Revelation.
The High-Priestly LineOne family carried Israel's altar for a thousand years — until a priest arrived who needed no genealogy and would never die.
Once for All — the Finished SacrificeHebrews' argument as repetition against finality: a countable, endless repetition set against a single, final act.
A Royal Priesthood — 1 Peter 2:4-101 Peter's living-stones catena: three Old Testament stone texts in six verses, and Sinai's own charter, 'a kingdom of priests,' lifted onto the church.- The Glory Departed — Ezekiel 8–11Ezekiel carried further in past worse abominations while the glory of God departs the temple station by station out the east gate.
- The Ransom — Mark 10:45One sentence carries the whole Gospel of Mark: the Son of man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.

The text itself3
The roster is the site’s own build manifest, so no study can be missing from it. A study leads its kind when it carries a line of its own and more of the other studies link to it; a register row with no line of its own borrows the first sentence of the study’s own summary. The pictures are public domain: engravings by Gustave Doré from Doré’s English Bible(1866), and paintings held at Wikimedia Commons. Each is named in full on the study’s own page.
