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. (1 Kings 8:9)
What was in there originally? Two tablets of stone, with the 10 Words, written by the finger of God. Aaron's rod that budded and the pot of manna. Where did the other items go?
Browsing a few sites and sharing.
NOTE: Inclusion of a website does not necessarily equate to an endorsement of the ministry and/or website in its entirety. I am simply sharing articles which capture my attention and appear to address whatever question I am pondering over at the present moment.
The Ark, the 10 Commandments, and the Book of the Law - this had an interesting perspective on how all of the old had/has passed away and was fulfilled in Christ.
Ark of the Covenant - Regardless of where you stand on end time events, this article is intriguing. I particularly liked this passage:
Christ - our ark, manna, budded rod and mercy seat. Complete fulfillment and provision. The theory of the physical ark being raptured is over the top for me, but all in all, a good article.
This article, Ark of the Covenant, was interesting. It mentions 3 arks. Noah's ark, Moses' ark and the Ark of the Covenant. I comprehend Noah's ark and the Ark of the Covenant, but Moses' ark? Hmmmmm.
Ugghhh...feeling really dense...Moses' ark, the one his mother hid him in! Duh! All I could think about was that Moses was given the instructions for the Ark of the Covenant. I am amazed how I sometimes miss the forest for the trees. **sigh** Father, keep me on Your path and thinking Your thoughts!
I liked this passage from the article:
Without exception each one speaks to us of preservation, and each in its own particular way portrays the Lord Jesus - our Ark of refuge.
Have you found refuge in Christ Jesus?
But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. (Deuteronomy 4:29)
I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. (Proverbs 8:17)
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:13)

The True Ark
With regard to this concept of Christ as our mercy seat, let me add a penetrating insight which I picked up from John MacArthur, one of this country's greatest preachers. He pointed to a simple historical verse that contains a profound truth about Jesus being our mercy seat.
The verse is John 20:12. Speaking of Mary looking into the empty tomb of Jesus, the verse says,"she beheld two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying." What Mary saw, MacArthur observed, was the new mercy seat, the perfect mercy seat.
Consider again what Mary saw. She witnessed two angels sitting at each end of the slab which had held the broken body of our Lord. That scene points us back to the Ark of the Covenant where two cherubim hovered over its blood splattered mercy seat!
There is no more need for the Ark. Jesus has fulfilled all that the Ark stood for. He was deity who took on flesh. He rendered complete obedience to the Law, being made perfect and becoming the source of our salvation (Hebrews 5:8-9). His blood was shed for our sins, and His victory is attested by the fact and the power of His resurrection.
Just as the Ark was designed to be a symbol of the presence of God in the midst of His people, Jesus is the ultimate expression of God's love and care and presence. He is our Ark. He is our Law. He is our Manna. He is our Budded Rod. And, thank God, He is our Mercy Seat.
Christ - our ark, manna, budded rod and mercy seat. Complete fulfillment and provision. The theory of the physical ark being raptured is over the top for me, but all in all, a good article.
