Here's another:
The parts of the Old Covenant Mosaic tabernacle could have foreshadowed YHWH's New Covenant way of salvation (Jeremiah 31:31-34): The altar for animal sacrifices (Exodus 27:1, Exodus 29:12-13) could have foreshadowed Jesus Christ's New Covenant sacrifice on the Cross for our sins (Matthew 26:28). The laver with its water (Exodus 30:18) could have foreshadowed Christian water-baptism (Acts 22:16). The menorah with its flames (Exodus 25:31,37) could have foreshadowed Holy Spirit baptism (Acts 1:5, Acts 2:3-4). The table with its shewbread (Exodus 25:23,30) could have foreshadowed Communion (1 Corinthians 11:26). The altar for incense (Exodus 30:1) could have foreshadowed Christian prayer (cf. Revelation 8:4). The ark of the covenant (Exodus 25:10, Numbers 10:33) with its mercy seat (Exodus 25:21) could have foreshadowed the establishment of the New Covenant (Matthew 26:28) and Christians obtaining its mercy (Hebrews 4:16), unto eternal life (Jude 1:21).
At the same time, the tabernacle could have been a figurative model of the earth and its 3 heavens (2 Corinthians 12:2b). The tabernacle's courtyard could have represented the earth and its atmosphere, the 1st heaven (Genesis 1:20b). The tabernacle's holy place could have represented the 2nd heaven, outer space (Deuteronomy 4:19). And the tabernacle's most holy place could have represented the 3rd heaven spiritual realm (2 Corinthians 12:2b). In the tabernacle's courtyard, the altar (Exodus 27:1) could have represented the earth's land areas. The laver with its water (Exodus 30:18) could have represented the sea (cf. also "the sea" part of the 1st temple: 1 Kings 7:23). And the veil between the courtyard and the holy place (Exodus 26:36) could have represented the atmosphere. The 5 pillars which held up that veil (Exodus 26:37) could have represented the 5 most powerful (now fallen) angelic princes who (before they were fallen) were assigned by God to rule the earth from its atmosphere/sky/air (Ephesians 6:12). The central of these 5 pillars could have represented Lucifer (Satan), "the prince of the power of the air" (Ephesians 2:2), while the other 4 pillars could have represented 4 of his most powerful lieutenants.
In the tabernacle's holy place, the 7 lights (Exodus 25:37) could have represented the 7 (moving) lights in outer space visible to the naked eye from the viewpoint of earth: i.e. the sun, the moon, the 1st planet from the sun, the 2nd planet, the 4th planet, the 5th planet, and the 6th planet. The 12 loaves (Leviticus 24:5-6) could have represented the 12 constellations of the Mazzaroth (Job 38:32). At the same time, the 7 lights (both in the tabernacle and in the sky) could have been patterned after the 3rd heaven's "seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God" (Revelation 4:5b).
In the tabernacle's most holy place, the veil between the holy place and most holy place (Exodus 26:33b) could have represented the line between outer space (space-time throughout the universe) and the earth's 3rd heaven spiritual realm. The 4 pillars which held up that veil (Exodus 26:32) could have represented the 4 dimensions of space-time, the 4 fundamental forces of space-time (gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force), and the 4 possible states of matter in space-time (solid, liquid, gas, plasma), so that going past the 4 pillars could have represented going beyond space-time and into the earth's 3rd heaven spiritual realm. At the same time, all the different sets of 4 things referred to above could have been patterned after the 3rd heaven's 4 beasts/seraphims (Revelation 4:8, Isaiah 6:2-3).
The vertical boards which formed the back wall of the tabernacle's most holy place included 6 boards (Exodus 26:22) of a regular width of 1.5 cubits (Exodus 26:16) plus 2 corner boards (Exodus 26:23) which each had to have been 1/3 the regular width, so that the width of the back wall would be 10 cubits, equal to the 10-cubit height of the boards (Exodus 26:16), and equal to the 10-cubit length of the most holy place (this length being based on the tabernacle's top-covering curtains in Exodus 26:1-13 having been most likely coupled by the gold taches at the line between the holy place and most holy place). I.e., in order for the most holy place to have been a perfect cube, exactly 10 cubits (15 feet) on a side (similar to how the literal, heavenly city of New Jerusalem is a perfect cube, some 1,500 miles on a side: Revelation 21:16), the back wall of the tabernacle had to have been formed by the equivalent of 6.66 regular-width boards.
That the back wall of the tabernacle's most holy place had, in effect, the number 6.66 connected with it could have represented the Antichrist's future rebellion. For the gematrial number of his personal name is 666 (Revelation 13:17c-18). And he could break through the back wall of the 3rd Jewish temple in Jerusalem (which will be built), and he could then enter in that back way when he sits in the temple (at least one time) and proclaims himself God (2 Thessalonians 2:4, Daniel 11:36,31). He could take great delight in entering the temple's most holy place by this forced, "back way", for it would show his utter rejection of YHWH's way to eternal life, pictured by the tabernacle.

Regarding Exodus 36:38, there the original Hebrew word (chashuq: H2838) translated as "fillets" can means "connecting rods", in this case connecting the pillars.
The literal pillars of the Mosaic tabernacle of God could have typified obedient people in the church, who are figuratively called "pillars" in the New Testament (Revelation 3:12, Galatians 2:9), the church being the New Covenant, spiritual temple of God (Ephesians 2:21-22).
In Exodus 27:17, a verb form of "fillet" is used to refer to the joining of the pillars by the connecting rods. For in Exodus 27:17, the original Hebrew word (chashaq: H2836) translated as "filleted" can mean "joined". The literal connecting rods of the Mosaic tabernacle of God could have typified how obedient people in the church are joined together by their love for each other (cf. Colossians 2:2). And, wonderfully, the very same Hebrew word (chashaq: H2836) used to refer to the pillars being joined together, can be translated as "love" (Psalms 91:14, Isaiah 38:17, Deuteronomy 7:7).

Regarding Exodus 36:22, there the original Hebrew word (yad: H3027) translated as "tenons" can literally mean "hands" (cf. Exodus 35:25). But in this case it means that each board had 2 projections like the tenons that join boards together side to side. But the 2 projections in this instance were at the bottom of each board to be inserted into 2 heavy bases of solid silver, which held the boards upright (Exodus 36:24).
The bases being of silver could have typified God's Word the Bible, which is compared with silver in Psalms 12:6. And there being 2 bases of silver for each board could have typified the 2 main parts of the Bible: the Old Testament and the New Testament. And the tenons of the boards being inserted into the silver bases to keep them upright could have typified Christians diligently continuing to study and believe the whole Bible in order to help keep themselves morally upright (2 Timothy 3:16 to 4:4).
