Bible Study The Ark of The Covenant

[Gabbylittleangel]

Another glimpse at the ark in the O.T.

1Ch 28:11 ¶ Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat,

1 Kings chapter 8 tells the story of Solomon bringing the ark to the temple. I had forgotten this part. Any thoughts on the jar full of manna or Aarons rod?

1Ki 8:9 [There was] nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made [a covenant] with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

So Gabie will there be an ark in the new temple? It can't be the one in heaven?

If you like Bible studies regarding the Ark of the Covenant and the symbology behind the earthly sanctuary you might enjoy this study:

Christ's Ministry in the Heavenly Sanctuary

The Sanctuary in Heaven
God instructed Moses to build as His earthly dwelling place (Ex. 25:8) the first sanctuary that functioned under the first (old) covenant (Heb. 9:1). This was a place where people were taught the way of salvation. About 400 years later the permanent Temple in Jerusalem built by King Solomon replaced

Moses' portable tabernacle. After Nebuchadnezzardestroyed that Temple, the exiles who returned from Babylonian captivity built the second Temple, which Herod the Great beautified and which the Romans destroyed in A.D. 70.

The New Testament reveals that the new covenant also has a sanctuary, one that is in heaven. In it Christ functions as high priest "at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty." This sanctuary is the "true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man" (Heb. 8:1, 2).1 At Mount Sinai Moses was shown "'the pattern, '" copy, or miniature model of the heavenly sanctuary (see Ex. 25:9, 40).2 Scripture calls the sanctuary he built "the copies of the things in the heavens," and its "holy places. . . copies of the true" (Heb. 9:23, 24). The earthly sanctuary and its services, then, give us special insight into the role of the heavenly sanctuary.
