Thy rod and staff, they guide me
The rods of the Ark were most likely East to West like the other Holy Items, (so positioned on the shorter side). The Eastward ends touched the Perochat curtain, as seen in 1 Kings 8:8 and 2 Chron.5:9. The High Priest could see where the rods were And he entered between them. It is not stated if God’s glory was glowing, or if it was pitch black inside the Holy of
- Holies. There was no natural or lamp light in there. It didn’t matter as the rods would
guide him to the Atonement cover so he could sprinkle the sacrificial blood. He could not move to the Right or the Left. This principle of the rods guiding we can see in Psalms 23:4. Thy rod and Thy staff they guide me.
Inside The Ark
Stone Tablets of the Law Bowl of Manna (bread from heaven) Aarons rod which budded and fruited overnight Ex.25:21
- Ex. 16:32-34
Num.11:7-9
- Num. 17:10
(Rebellion Num 16&17) The items testify to: Law: God’s Word Manna: God’s provision (bread from Heaven) Aaron’s Rod: Symbol of Resurrection God’s confirmation sign of His choice of High Priest. Messianic Prophetic Symbols Law: Yeshua is the WORD Manna: Yeshua is the Bread from Heaven Aaron’s Rod: Symbol of Resurrection God’s confirmation sign of His Messiah. Aaron's rod was an almond branch. Almond is the first fruit every year in Israel. Christ is the First fruit from the dead. Acts 26:23; 1 Cor. 15:20; Col. 1:18; Rev. 1:5
The First and the Last
The Almond
The first tree to flower every spring, even before it produces it’s leaves. The last fruit tree to mature it’s fruit, in autumn 8-9 months later. Messiah is The Aleph and the Tav, The Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and The End. Rev.1:8,11; 21:6; 22:13.
Then God asks specifically for Cherubim
- n the Ark (Ex.25:18-20) an artistic design of
Cherubim on the first linen covering of the Tabernacle (Ex.26:1) and on the dividing veil between The holy and The Holy of Holies. Exodus 26:31 The Cherubim guarded the way Into God’s presence. The way was not yet made manifest Hebrews 9:8
When were the Cherubim removed?
Matt.27:50 & 51 Mark 15:37& 38 THE VEIL IN THE TEMPLE WAS TORN IN TWO FROM TOP TO BOTTOM A sign of grief in Jewish culture is to rip your clothes from the top Yeshua’s death on the cross, when He became sin for us, caused The Father to turn away; His son was dead to Him. He ripped the curtain; the price was paid once and for all time; the way is now
- pen to return to God.
First seen in our history when God placed them at the east to guard the way back to the Garden of Eden.. Genesis 3:24
Yeshua stayed 40 days (6 weeks) to encourage and teach His people; His body
Everyone has Salvation Available – it’s already been paid for!
CHOOSE LIFE
Everyone will die for their own sin, Deut.24:16; Jer.31:30. Everyone has sinned, Rom 3:23. The wages of sin is death, Rom 6:23. Someone has to pay; Messiah has paid, Rom.6:23; Jn.3:16. God has put before you, Life and Death; Blessing and Curse; and told you What He wants, CHOOSE LIFE, Deut.30:19 He will never take away each person’s responsibility to choose; and we must Each live with the consequences of our own choice. Every human has salvation available; it’s all been paid for and there is nothing you can do earn it; but there are conditions that must be met. CONFESS, admit you have sinned, 1 Jn.1:9. REPENT, turn away from your sin, Luke 13:3,5. BELIEVE in the Messiah and you will RECEIVE, Jn.3:16.
Choices
Option 1 Option 2 Check under pillow, do something about it later, never get around to it, die poor. Take check to bank, fulfill the conditions, ID, signature, receive cash, live abundantly. Confess, Repent, Believe: Receive; Choose to refuse: you loose. If you don’t accept what Messiah has paid on your behalf; then you must pay for your own sin at the end of the age and be separated from God forever.
Make room for God
God asked for a place to dwell in His people, Ex.25:8. He is Holy and His presence will destroy unholy people. Messiah, as a pure human has paid the price to take away our un-holiness so He can come and dwell in us, Jn.15:4,7. We must make room for Him so He can come in; We must open the door, Rev.3:20 He paid a high price to be able to Have a relationship with us; to live and fellowship with us and us with Him. The amazing thing is that He leaves the choice to us.
