Moses Constructs a Picture of the
Resurrection
I, being a believer
in Jesus and believing that the Bible (New Testament and Old Testament)
is the inspired word of God, have often marveled at the many minute details
in this book. Considering the recent discoveries of hidden codes in the
Torah, I believe it is possible that the history of the entire world and
the name of every believer will eventually be revealed to us (by the King
of Kings), having been locked in the Bible by he who created us.
One detail that fascinated me for years is the cherubim that
God ordered Moses to fashion on each end of the mercy seat. This was the
lid of the Arc of the Covenant, which sat in the tabernacle and was the
“most holy” place. The details concerning the construction of the mercy
seat and cherubim can be found in Exodus 25: 18-22. The two cherubim were
to be placed at either end and facing the mercy seat. Additionally, they were
to have their wings spread and covering the mercy seat. It is interesting
to note that the word cherubim is used seven times
there in Exodus 25. Details!
The mercy seat was the place where Moses was to commune with
God and the High Priest of Israel would once a year sprinkle the blood of
bulls and goats to atone for the sins of himself, his family, and the people
of Israel. The details can be found in Leviticus 16: 14-17. The blood
of the bullock was an atonement for Aaron and his house, and the blood of the
goat was for the people of Israel. I was puzzled as to why the blood
of a lamb was not sprinkled upon the mercy seat. After reading the account
of Ron Wyatt concerning the finding of the cave wherein the Ark of the Covenant
rests, along with finding the Calvary crucifixition site directly above it, it is apparent that
the blood of the one and only ‘Lamb of God’ was applied to the mercy
seat, once for all times. The blood of Jesus Christ was an atonement for
the whole world (John 1:29 “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh
away the sin of the world” [Grk = kosmos]. The original story
of the finding of the Ark of the Covenant and the Calvary site (along with pictures) is no
longer on the internet but you can find good commentary here:

I was always curious as to the reason for placing the cherubim
on the lid of the Arc. Were they just decoration? I have heard theories
that the Arc was a radio receiver and that it was a super capacitor for
storing energy from God. The Arc would have been a pretty basic gold box
with out those Angels decorating the top of it. As I studied many ‘deep’
things in the Word over the next few years, the cherubim and their significance
were put on the ‘back burner’.
One day, after three
or four years of almost daily Bible study, I felt the need to compare the
various accounts of the crucifixion and resurrection found in the Gospels.
I was certain (from Matthew 12:40) that Christ was not crucified on Friday and wanted
to see what each of the Gospels said concerning the feast days. I was reading
the account of the resurrection in John chapter 20. I got to verses 11
& 12 where Mary was at the tomb of Jesus. As I read
“and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
and seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the
other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain”.
The hair on my head stood out, my whole body flushed, and
I got a giddy light –headedness. The Holy Spirit had revealed to me this
picture of the cherubim and the mercy seat and another reason why that had
been the “most Holy” place. I had read this account before and hadn’t I
seen this marvelous truth. As a matter of fact, Christians have been reading
this account for most of two thousand years, yet I can’t recall anyone ever
mentioning this. Here is the centerpiece of Hebrew worship complete with
a picture of the resurrection. Oh, what a blessing this was for me to receive
such a present from God.
I don’t claim to be the only Christian to have ever seen
this fabulous link to the Torah. I just know that it doesn’t appear to
be common knowledge among the “brethren”
In the dozen and a half years since I was shown this truth,
I have shared it with a few people. Some were blessed; some were not especially
impressed. I now feel it is time to share this present with whoever will
receive it. The advent of the Internet makes it possible to share this
with many people that I would never come in personal contact with.
May God bless you as he did me!
