Hebrews 9:4: "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." 1 Kings 8:9: "There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone.“ During the days of the Tabernacle After it came to rest in the Temple. 3 Articles – God’s provisions in Christ. Taberncale #4 Ark Polson

  15. Golden Pot of Manna The manna - food of Israelites during wilderness journey. Foreshadowed Christ as the Bread of life, the food of His pilgrim people. In Exodus 16:3 Moses said unto Aaron "take a pot and put an omer full of manna therein and lay it up before the testimony, to be kept; Hebrews 9:4, the Spirit tells us it was "a golden pot.“ Omer was the measure of man Golden pot – man was glorified.

  18. 6. It’s journeying. Tabernacle was borne from one camping to another. "And thou shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it. And thou shall make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. And thou shall put these staves into the rings by the sides of the Ark, that the Ark may be borne with them. The staves shall be in the rings of the Ark: they shall not be taken from it" (Ex. 25:12-15). In the Temple the staves were withdrawn 2 Chr 5:9 because the ark had entered its rest. "And thou shall anoint the Tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the Ark of the Testimony." Acts 10:38: "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil." Taberncale #4 Ark Polson

"And they departed from the mount of the Lord three days’ journey and the Ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them in the three days’ Journey, to search out a resting place for them" (Num. 10:33). The cloud was to guide them Nu 9:18-20. Hobab, Mose’s father in law Num 10:31 – Moses lean on the arm of flesh. Ark was now before them to guide. Taberncale #4 Ark Polson

  21. 7. It’s coverings Num 4:5,6 "And when the camp sets forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering veil, and cover the Ark of testimony with it: And shall put thereon the covering of badgers" skins, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof."

  22. Lesson for Life Every feature connected with the ark brings something of Christ before us, that which is for our edification, our instruction, and pleasure. It is our privilege to bear Him in testimony during our sojourn in this world, to manifest the beauties of Jesus as we speak of Him, so that He might be magnified in our lives, and God glorified in His royal priesthood. Do you show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light ? (1 Peter 2: 9). Taberncale #4 Ark Polson
