Abstract

This study examines the compatibility of this practice with biblical teachings and its implications for the spiritual lives of believers. Christian participation in this system creates moral dilemmas and damages the church's prophetic witness. Using a qualitative, library-based theological-normative approach, the research analyzes biblical texts, theological literature on usury and professional ethics, and empirical studies on Bank Emok. Findings indicate that high-interest lending directed at the poor contradicts Scripture's consistent emphasis on justice, compassion, and protection for the vulnerable (Exod. 22:25; Lev. 25:36–37; Luke 6:34–35). Through Watchman Nee's framework of occupational ethics, Bank Emok is classified as a "pure trader" enterprise that transfers rather than creates wealth rendering it theologically problematic for believers.

Abstract

The Tabernacle, established by Moses at God's command in the wilderness, was His holy dwelling place, signified by the pillar of cloud and fire. As the center of worship in the Old Testament, the Tabernacle featured a divinely designed structure: the outer court with the Altar of Burnt Offering and the Laver; the Holy Place containing the Table of Showbread, the Golden Lampstand, and the Altar of Incense; and the Most Holy Place housing the Ark of the Covenant with the mercy seat. Though historically exclusive to Israel, the spiritual meaning of the Tabernacle remains relevant for believers today. In the era of grace, every believer is a priest with direct access to God through Christ. This study explores the application of the "Tabernacle Tour" as a guide for personal prayer, where each piece of furniture symbolizes a spiritual stage from confession of sin to intimate communion with God. Through biblical reflection and practical experience, the author finds that this symbolic journey helps believers experience quality time with the Lord in prayer, transforming the Tabernacle from a historical reality into a living spiritual model for faith growth and contemporary worship.
