The Image of the Ark pt.1

08.19.2008 Tuesday


Exodus 40:20 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark: 21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.
The lesson preface: The emblem, from Sunday’s lesson we experienced the fallacy of dark knowledge and we learn that ark of covenant is not the throne of God and in a nutshell it’s not the place for petition of devotees’ needs and furthermore not accessible to any tom, dick and harry.
1. Father shows us the ark of covenant actually represents the Noah’s ark it is an emblem of the ark of covenant; its airtight truth Father will plumb more details of this matter by God’s grace we will establish ‘compelling’ correlation that will establish a singular image for that two entities.

Exegesis: Prefatory structure content divided into three segments: 1) refection 2) offer to church and 3) ceremony procedure

Reflection
Let’s the Sunday lesson as a spring board into today’s truth on Sunday Father shows us the correlation between ark of covenant and Noah’s ark we want to precede from that point at this juncture Father wants to firmly establish their congruity for believers the ark of covenant and Noah’s ark. First thing first note the term used in both case Noah’s ark the ship called ark and the center piece furniture at tabernacle also called the ark of covenant.
  • The term ark the same term used and Father refers to this two entities logically they must be the same otherwise how can both be called the same term? Illogical to separate both having the same term but yet different identity it does not make sense definitely.

Father is the author of Bible has this thought behind the entity to point out to us the congruity of the two things that must be the same. Father wants to highlight and rivet this matter and seal it once and for all.

Genesis 6: 18. But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
Bible records of the word of God to Noah, sons and family, ‘to him I now establish covenant with you and your family can enter into the ark.’ Father wants to break it down and amplify for you of the spoken word of God to Noah.
  • ‘I want to establish covenant.’ 2) ‘Now you can enter the ark.’ When you add this two together what you get, the ark is the ark of covenant. God said: ‘I establish covenant with you,’ Noah’s ark is the covenant with Noah. The ship designate the ark of covenant but in the Bible God did not specified set the term as such but he left it for us to infer is this, actually the ark from the statement directed it at the ark of covenant; only God did to subtle it exploiting, but at the tent of meeting God explain it emphasize to ark of covenant.

Father set before you the fact and evidences seal all together Noah’s ark is the ark of covenant and at tabernacle ark of covenant the both must be the same only exist differently former one a ship another one seemingly like a throne but they are concurrence- same the image of ark of covenant is the same with Noah’s ark.
  • Hence, to the world churches mark the ark of covenant the throne of God to tie in its element, ‘Jesus of royal status who died a sacrificial death,’ hail all this exaltation higher than Father, they miss by a mile.

But today Father explain definitely ark of covenant center piece furniture at the tabernacle is actually shadow of Noah’s ark they are the same. How can you make the Noah’s ark throne of God? What the tainted dark people how they have skew and distorted it cause confusion.
Observe this fact one loose end must tighten to make the whole matter correct.
  • At the tabernacle we observe the mercy seat flank by two charubims but we don’t see charubims flank in Noah’s ark not in the picture.

The dark knowledge nemesis waiting to pound, nitpick trying to find fault, went overboard enough is enough and adamant. If you see carefully with the eye of Spirit you can see the cherubim how come this cardinal charubims missing but not missing in the mercy seat?
  • The cherubims there were also picture of Noah’s ark. Anyway, its difficult cherubims are of invincible beings to the world and so God is also invincible to the world. That’s why you can’t see them but they were there in Noah’s ark, it’s true.

Base on intrinsic information by heaven traveler’s report cherubims is no singular as, ‘cherub.’ Cherubims to the high ranking one they can only have the title, Cherub, and there are two powerful Cherubs guide the ark all the way so not to see shipwreck until it reach destination.
  • The God’s mercy seat and cherubs involved they are invincible beings to the world that’s why you can’t see but these sound points to underscore the truth indeed the ark of covenant is of Noah’s ark.

Offer to Church
If you were to have a bird eye’s view of tabernacle encamped in the middle of camp you perceive this the tent of meeting right at the heart of 12 tribes. Encamp in these pattern three tribes in the north, three in the south, three in the east and three in the west of which one tribe the Levi.
  • What we see here is the formation of church in Book of Acts says church in the wilderness we see church in the blueprint in our lesson picture here Father points to us church built by formation and not love we see church in wilderness.

We want to zoom in the heart of the tent of meeting close up of the ark of covenant there place the ark in the holy of Holy in the tabernacle. From within the center piece ark of covenant for you see the encampment of the whole place is God promise offer to church because you have the encampment of church all activities centered in the tent of meeting all bear on the ark of covenant.
1. While the Jews waiting for the day veil rend then access to mercy seat though they don’t understand the ark of covenant offers to the Jew and church; the hope of church, that enlighten why the Jew the type of church, they have to wait for Jesus to come because Jesus holds the key he plays the cardinal role.
2. He pays the price of redemption pathway then the veil rend the whole event picture of the tent of meeting camp place Jews waiting for that day.

Father underlines the formation of the ark of covenant promise offer to church that we want to probe the substance of this knowledge and to get the substance of this knowledge we go back to Noah’s ark the image ark of covenant where we observe carefully the odyssey of the ark.
1. Note one thing God protected and preserve Noah and the beasts from death from the ragging water; actually Noah and family a type of church in short God dealings through Noah express his plan to protect and save the church from death from destruction.

So what you got is the very substance of the promise made is the very substance of promise of covenant to save church from death God had declared through Noah’s ark a type of church the tent of meeting. Why promise for the people?
1. This is written the law according to term of contest the party must declare first his purpose then only he can ordain it and God is subjected to this term, through Noah God declares his purposes because he had declared by law God has the right to establish and promise set and place ark of covenant in the center of Holy place.

God make the scripture to explain, ‘if church keep your part of covenant with me and if they don’t I’ll revise your salvation.’ Note, stately ark of covenant in the tabernacle is the promise to the church, ‘if you prove yourself then you will have the reward of mercy ultimate salvation.’ Now, things become very clear to you?
  • God’s promises and preserve man who proof faithful loyal to God this you will reap the reward. So Father causes you to see clearly distinctively the promise behind the covenant that’s why it’s called the ark of covenant from the epithet added and cannot is not the throne of God.

The promise to the church, offer to the church and the next question what is the church? To the assertion of the believers of churches we have to consult the salvation chart.
  • From the start, when we look at the salvation chart, Jews slay lamb of sheep or goat to demonstrate the rejection of Pharaoh and after they had finished that God actually delivered them by crossing Red Sea into wilderness emancipated from Pharaoh; Jews prefigure their rejection of the world.

With this understanding why they have to sacrifice animal declaring for what? Unto God because they pledge of allegiance to free and be saved as a step fulfillment to every believers confine to this the church.
  • First comprise of people who rejected the world turn their back on Satan when they come marching out of Egypt. God has to define to you the church for your understanding clearly said: ‘the church compromises of people who rejected Satan not, ‘love’ and choose to follow after God.’

Definition of church post this question to you, you believe and claim you are the church are you? This yardstick that you use, ‘every other day and Sunday I preach the gospel,’ all these are your performance that is not what God wants.
  • You read in scriptures Jews -church rejected Pharaoh and rejected Egypt the world and pledge allegiance to God. How can you reject yourself is rejection of Church?
  • Or sheath in hypocrisy role and making a venture of good noble loyal to church like the rebels. Sheath they boost of their fulfillment but in truth they had never came out of Egypt the world, never rejects Pharaoh but in fact they serve him.

Physically in this sanctuary all of you, you deem yourself Christian but not so in heaven’s standard. The high vessel wonder how many and some never reject the world to them they say, ‘don’t tell us about all these in church.’
1. The world churches they step in the work of sheath a hypocritical role mark pure teaching of religion but only God in heaven knows them.

That’s the first thought Father wants to nail the church who are the Christians, believers, people who had turn their back out of Egypt reject Pharaoh completely and follow after God.
1. Search your heart whether your heart had rejected world and fix at God wholly; God just served you the true standard of the church.

Next thing the people in wilderness observe quality but they were required by law to offer sacrifices of clean beasts continuously to God why clean beast? What significant behind clean beasts denote the dark teaching of doctrine within the church.
Beast is Satan denote to this term clean beast to the church believers they deem the sacrifice holy, clean they deem it clean that’s why God
