The whole assembly of the Israelites gathered at Shiloh and set up the Tent of Meeting there. (Joshua 18:1)
After forty years of travel, the Tent of Meeting (Tabernacle) stood at Gilgal during the military campaigns for Canaan. Once the three campaigns were accomplished, the Tabernacle was moved to Shiloh, where it would remain until the early days of Samuel (probably around 150 years). We'll get to that story in a couple weeks. In the mean time, Shiloh would serve as the spiritual capital of Israel during the years of the judges.
Darker days were ahead. If you want to see what's coming, read Psalm 78:56-64. But for now, Shiloh was Israel's spiritual center.
Do you have a spiritual center? Some place (or maybe someone) that takes you back to your spiritual roots and your first spiritual love?
