The Mishkan: Purpose, Meaning, and Relevance (part 1)

"ועשו לי מקדש ושכנתי בתוכם":

What are the differences between the Mishkan and Beit HaMikdash? Why does the Torah refer to making a Mikdash if the command was to build a Mishkan?

The purposes of Shabbat and the Mishkan are the same - to bring Hashem into our lives. Why then does building the Mishkan and Bet HaMikdash not override Shabbos? Both ideas are important -  the creativity (building the Mishkan) and the abstention (Shabbat).
