Three things that are important to GOD

Three things that are important to GOD

As I was reading in Revelation Chapter 11, the phrase “ark of his testimony” jumped out at me and GOD spoke to my heart and mind.

OF course, it’s talking about the Ark of the covenant that was to be placed in the Tabernacle that GOD has told Moses to build in the wilderness.  More specifically it was to be placed in the Holy place. It was would be GOD’s chair, as he came down to dwell with His people.

Inside the Golden Ark, over laid with gold with two cherubim on top, were three items. The Law, manna and Aaron’s rod that budded.

First the Law, literally   GOD’s word. GOD’s word came down to man with Moses on stone tablets. GOD had hewed them, writing them out on stone.  Which speaks of it eternal / long lasting usage.  His word is forever. But the LAW, GOD’s word came was seen and came down to man, specifically HIS people.

Secondly, the second item was a pot of manna, a golden pot of manna. Manna, that bread that fell from Heaven. Israel, GOD’s people were in need, hungry, about to died, but GOD provided a way.  They would not have to died in the wilderness in their current condition.

Thirdly, the third item in the ark was Aaron’s rod that budded. GOD brought to life Aaron’s rod. There were twelve other rods, but GOD chose Aaron’s rod.  Its produced buds and blossoms with ripe almonds.

These three items GOD command Moses to put in the ark, the ark of His testimony!!

SO let’s take a look at the three items. Immediately, we see the number “3”. That’s GOD’s number, Elohim, GOD the Father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit. This definitely testifies of GOD.  BUT, the three items also testify of GOD and His dear son, JESUS CHRIST.

First, the LAW, His word, Jesus was identified as the word, see John 1:1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² The same was in the beginning with God. ³ All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. ⁴ In him was life; and the life was the light of men. ⁵ And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Secondly, the Golden Pot of manna, WOW!! that bread that came down from Heaven, Jesus said John 6

 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

Thirdly, Aaron’s Rod that budded.  That which was dead came alive, this speaks of Jesus Christ’s resurrection, also, GOD’s chosen one and  authority on His son JESUS.

The three items speak of Jesus Christ, GOD’s son and this is GOD’s testimony, Matt 3

 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: ¹⁷ and lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

GOD’s testimony to the world and mankind is His word, the Law, His Son Jesus came down from heaven and His son, Jesus’ resurrection.

What was written and happen in Exodus is repeated in the book of the Revelation, First Century Christianity.

Praise- the- LORD!!! Amen, Amen & Amen!!!

May God bless you,
