Exodus 31:1-11 describes the Spirit-empowered consecration of Bezalel and Oholiab for the building of the Tabernacle. Not only does Moses bring the blueprints for the Tabernacle down the mountain, he also brings the mountain itelf down as the Tabernacle is a "little Mt. Sinai".
This passage provides us with application to the Church under the now universal outpouring of the Spirit on God's people:
1) The building of the Church is the work of the Spirit
2) The Spirit gives each of us spiritual gifts for the building up of the Church
3) The Spirit builds the Church for worship
4) The building up of the Church for worship has outflowing purpose
