Chronicles 5 – God’s Viewpoint of the Completed Temple
After
the temple was completed, the ark was brought into the temple. The staves were
drawn out and the ark was not to be moved again.
The
males of the children of Israel were to appear at the tabernacle at three
feasts of the year: Passover, Pentecost, and the feast of the tabernacles. They
will come to Jerusalem on those feast days and appear at the temple where the
ark rests.
The
ark speaks of Jesus Christ. Above the ark was the mercy seat which speaks of
His work of redemption, His shedding of His blood.
It
is permanent, it is basic, it is established.
(a pot of manna was preserved in the ark as a
memorial. Now it is gone. The manna was a symbol of Christ as the Bread of
Life, who feeds those who are His own. Aaron’s rod that budded is a symbol of
Christ’s resurrection. It has been actualized to us by the fact that Jesus died,
was buried, then rose again the third day. This revealed His deity).
The
singers were there, and the orchestra with cymbals and psalteries and harps,
and 120 trumpet players.
