The Ark of the
Covenant contained the 10 Commandment stone tablets ...and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and
there they be, as the LORD commanded me. Deuteronomy
10:5 (The Law which He would one day come down and show them how to live-
Think not that I am come to destroy the
law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to
fulfil. Matthew 5:17).
It also contained a jar of manna
(the food which God fed them with in the desert) and Aaron's rod which had
blossomed with leaves. Which had the golden
censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was
the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of
the covenant; Hebrews 9:4 *** The MANNA from heaven-They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou
then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? Our fathers did
eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to
eat. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you
not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto
the world. Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. And Jesus
said unto them, I am the bread of life: John
6:30-35 *** Aaron's
rod, of the first High Priest- Wherefore,
holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High
Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Hebrews 3:1 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of
thine
heritage... Micah 7:14Above the ark was the Mercy Seat of God. Notice His "MERCY SEAT" is over His Law inside the ark-for what is sin? ....for sin is the transgression of the law. 1 John 3:4 And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place. Exodus 26:34
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. Daniel 8:14 (2,300 years)
