The ark of the Covenant
The ark of the Covenant resides in the Most Holy
Place, on it is the Mercy Seat upon which is mounted two Cherubim. The gold jar
of manna, the rod of Aaron that budded, and the tablets of the Law were in the
ark.
God told Moses to hide the second tablet of stone
from the people of Israel, and place it in the ark of the Covenant.
The ark of the Covenant represents Christ Jesus, the
only One Who could fulfill the Commandment written in those two new tablets of
stone. Therefore, prophetically, The LORD GOD placed the Law in Christ. Today,
as long as we have Christ Jesus in us, we have fulfilled the Law.
The ark ushered-in the Presence of God in the Holy
of Holies. The Glory of God shone through the ark and gave Light to the high
priest, who was only permitted to enter in the Holy of Holies once a year, and
sprinkle blood over the Mercy Seat.
