Question

helppppppppppppppp right ansssssss

Answer 1

The ark is one of the clearest types (symbols) of Jesus Christ presented in the Bible. As with the brazen altar, the table of showbread and the altar of incense, the acacia wood the ark is made of typifies the Lord's life and ministry. This hard, incorruptible, indestructible wood, which grows in the Sinai Desert, beautifully portrays the humanity of Christ and His own indestructibility: although He was crucified, He did not suffer the decaying effects of the grave. The gold over the ark is symbolic of Jesus' deity. The fact that this deity (gold) is overlaid on mortality (wood) is symbolic of Jesus' dual nature: both divine and human.

Just as the ark was present among men, so did Jesus walk among them.

The ark also represented the throne of God and where He manifested His glory. Jesus' earthly body is the place where God chose to manifest His glory, as well. The "Mercy Seat" is symbolic, as well: two angels faced each other; between them, the High Priest cast blood from the Day of Atonement upon the seat. This is a perfect picture of Jesus in the tomb at the moment of resurrection. Two angels were present then, as well, looking upon the Perfect Sacrifice.

The contents of the ark also have symbolic significance. It contained a remnant of manna collected during the Exodus; Jesus is the bread of life for believers. Aaron's walking stick that miraculously budded and bore almonds was also in the ark; it symbolized Christ's resurrection, because He also rose from the dead and bore much fruit. The tablets of the Law were in a box to the side of the ark (not inside, as is mistakenly believed (see Deut. 31:25-26 and the Targum of Jonathan). Christ's ministry ended the Mosaic law and placed these laws outside what is expected of those who follow the New Covenant. We now follow the laws given by Messiah Yeshua, who fulfilled the Mosaic law and gave us more perfect laws.

Answer 2

The Ark of the Covenant is a container that is presumed to hold the original tablets (or what is left of them, anyway) on which God carved the Ten Commandments which He then gave to Moses.

It is also presumed that this Ark is kind of a direct link to God, and whomever controls this Ark also controls the power of God. Or at least that's what Indiana Jones taught me.

Answer 3

The Ark of the Covenant held the Ten Commandments. This is why it is so important.
For Christians, the Ark is still holy. However, Jesus walked among us and gave us new commandments that replaced some old ones the priests made(Ex: Do not seek revenge; love thy neighbour; etc.). Communion is holy for us becuase it is the body of Christ.
God bless.

Answer 4

How about tabernacle?

Tabernacle, tabernaculum in Latin, means tent.

This is the tent that the Jews put the Ten Commandments and the Ark of the Covenant. This is where God dwelt in the midst of the His people.

At the Last Supper, Jesus said, “Take this bread. It is my body.” Then he said, “Take this and drink. This is my blood. Do this in memory of me.”

Catholics believe this was the First Eucharist, which through some miracle the bread and wine actually became the body and blood of Jesus Christ.

Catholics reenact the Last Supper during every Mass, where the priest, acting in place of Christ, changes the bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ.

This is a great sacrament of thanksgiving and unity of Catholics.

If any of the Body of Christ is not consumed, then it is safely stored in the tabernacle. After all of these years, still the place where God dwells in the midst of the His people.

With love in Christ.

Answer 5

I dont know much about catholic cristians, but i know the ark is not much important, is just a piece of gold and wood, what is important,as we learned from king saul, is the commandments that were writen on the blocks and keeped there.
Still i dont know much of catolics, or if they keep or not the real 10 comandments, but the important lesson is that every beautiful and important thing, is beautiful and important because of the word and power of God and never by itself, or maybe thats no the lesn of the question but is still a good thing to think about.

Answer 6

the ark of the covenant wazs where god dwelled thats why it was so important to the jewish people now god lives in you if you accept his sacrifice for your sins on the cross now the ark playes no role
