God’s Throne Room
1 Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Two cubits and a half was its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height. 2 And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold around it. 3 And he cast for it four rings of gold for its four feet, two rings on its one side and two rings on its other side. 4 And he made poles of acacia wood and…

The Ark
20 And the keruvim shall stretch forth their wings upward, covering the kapporet with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the kapporet shall the faces of the keruvim be.
21 And thou shalt place the kapporet on the Aron from above; and into the Aron thou shalt place the Edut that I shall give thee.
22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the kapporet, from between the two keruvim which are upon the Aron HaEdut, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the Bnei Yisroel.

Second Commandment Violations- Exodus 25:10-22
God instructs Moses to instruct Israel to build an Ark which will carry the tablets of the Law and serve as God’s mercy seat—the seat from which He will instruct Moses during the years they use the Tabernacle. The Ark of the Covenant represents the presence of God before the people so that the people have something tangible to remind them that God is with them.
This part of the story takes me to…

The Price Of Disrespecting God's Holiness
Brent Pollard
On Wednesday nights at the Andrews, North Carolina, church, I have attempted to teach about the monarchs of united and divided Israel. After we finished studying Saul, I explored David’s life and reign. In the most recent installment of this series, we discussed David’s transport of the Ark of the Covenant from Kiriath-Jearim to David’s newly established capital Jerusalem (2 Samuel…

On that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the Lord. Lev. 16:30
So Christ also having been once offered to bear the sins of many shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to them that wait for him unto salvation. Heb. 9:28
I love the Jewish feasts, Jesus celebrated the feasts, and each one is a beautiful illustration of…

sorry. but the idea of old man merlin puttering around in his kitchen in the early morning, fussing over the seating and chair logistics at his (round) kitchen table, and then getting frustrated with himself at coming up short- and having the bitter realization that he’ll always come up short, by a whole table actually, kills me.

Tout à l’heure dans la voiture, j’ai entendu à la radio cette chanson de Nick Cave chantée par Johnny Cash.
O Lord, il la chante diablement bien. Mais je me suis souvenue de la première fois où j’avais entendu cette chanson par Nick Cave, il y a très très longtemps, c’était la version acoustique bizarrement, sur une édition rallongée de The Good Son, et j’avais senti mon sang bouillonner et se glacer simultanément avec cette voix qui psalmodiait, cette répétition entêtante, les syllabes graves qui trainaient sur « I’m not afraid to dieeee ». Cette noirceur, cette solennité macabre. Puissantes.
En quittant l’adolescence, j’ai appris à apprécier la légèreté en musique, mais de temps en temps, mon moi un peu gothique et grandiloquent se repaît bien volontiers de ces chansons qui célèbrent cette part sombre en nous.
