The OT tabernacle starting with the dimensions (square footage) of the outside curtain represents the authority and time of the law, Continuing on from the outer court and into the Holiest of the Holies represents the time and spiritual progress of man's walk with God since the time of the law was first given......... The design of the OT Tabernacle was given to Moses as a "pattern" for him to follow and make it exactly as it was given because it was a pattern reflecting God's plan and timeline of His called out ones.
The Holiest of the Holies (smaller room) represents the presence of where the Spirit of God would appear (and the Ark was a prophecy of Jesus) is where no sin can exist without a penalty of death. Meanwhile, the "Holies" represents the soul of a man (or woman) who has been given the Holy Spirit but is still under the imperfect authority of Pentecost seen in the daily "trimming" of the lamps that is the pulling up of the wick that burns and replacing the oil (anointing).
The two rooms were separated by a veil and over the top of them both together were the skins of animals that made up the tabernacle's top........... animal skins (tabernacle) were also used for the covering God made for Adam and Eve who too represent the spirit and soul but they are strictly representing the spirit and soul of man, and not God who is also Spirit with a Soul.
Technically speaking "Adam in us" dies at the cross, but because Eve is still left in us, and because "the two had become one flesh" most often she continues to rule over the person through their mind, will, and emotions. As a soul she still carries the seed of the serpent the same as Adam did making them both unclean. How this plays out is seen in the parable of the unclean spirit in Matt 12 and Luke 11
We are baptized into His death so we may be resurrected by His Spirit (the source of our resurrection in Him) and into the resurrection with Him while we are still living in this life. However, the unfortunate truth is because Christians have not been taught the truth, for the most part the church has resurrected Adam (spirit of man) back to life instead of living through the seed that is Christ resurrected in us.
Simply put the soul is female and the spirit is male. However the Holy Spirit cannot marry AKA become one (legally) with the soul of man and instead can only become one with the soul of God. Therefore, if the Holy Spirit of God in us is given the opportunity it will marry and become one with the soul (mind) of God. Then, as the two become one flesh bring forth a Holy Life that is the man child being caught up to heaven in Re.12:5,13 KJV which just happens to be the fulness of God's plan of redemption for us
The spirit of man can never bring forth the mind of Christ that is found in the soul of God, however, the Holy Spirit can! Therefore, we see the soul of God (tabernacle of God) who is the wife to be wedded to the Holy Spirit already on earth within the wise virgins who are just now beginning to come forth, coming down from heaven in Re.21:2-3 KJV to become one with the Holy Spirit already in us thus forming the tabernacle of God on earth with His Ark of the covenant within it just as the OT tabernacle was designed.
