Ark of the covenant Ark of the Testimony
The Ark of the Covenant is made of Acacia Wood and overlaid with gold. The gold is coating the inside and the outside of the Ark. There is a crown of gold going around it. It is carried by two golden staves. The staves each go through two golden rings on each side. They are not to be removed. Inside of the Ark is placed the law and commandments, a pot of manna and Aaron's rod. Covering the Ark is the mercy seat. On top of the mercy seat are placed two cherubim that face each other with their wings touching. The Ruach of Yahuah sits on the mercy seat between the two cherubim. This is where Yahuah meets with the high priest. EXODUS 25:22
The Ark of the Covenant can be compared to our heart or our mind. The Ark of the covenant was designed to be carried around wherever Yasharal went much like how we carry our heart or mind in our temple wherever we go. The Ark of the Covenant contained the two stone tablets, a measure of manna and Aaron's staff.

The Ark of the Covenant sits in the holiest of holies which is a secret place in the temple or Tabernacle. When Yahuah gives you a new heart then you will have a version of the Ark of the covenant inside of your body which is the temple of the Ruach of Yahuah. You are given the ability to carry the ark of the covenant with you wherever you go. You can go into the secret place and communicate with the Ruach of Yahuah. Just as he gave Moshe instruction Yahuah will give you instruction.
Are you filled with the Ruach HaKodesh(Holy Spirit)? Have you excepted Yahusha HaMachiach(Jesus Christ) as the head of your life and your redeemer?
