Significance of the Various Aspects of the Tabernacle

[Toasty]

I have some questions about the significance of the various aspects of the tabernacle in the Old Testament.

There was only one entrance to the tabernacle. Was this meant to teach ancient Israel that the Messiah is the only way to the Father?

Why was the entrance of the tabernacle pointed towards the east?

Did the lampstand signify that Jesus is the Light of the world?

What did the table of showbread signify?

Henry, I HIGHLY recommend Daniel Hyde's book God In Our Midst, for a most excellent exposition of the tabernacle furnishings as presented in Exodus.
