The ARK OF THE COVENANT continued...

We believe that when the time comes that the "spiritual laws" are being debated and about to become the "law of the land", the Tables of Stone written by YAHUVEH'S Own Finger will come out and be a witness to the true Law that He spoke from His Own lips at Mt. Sinai:

PSA 89:34 My covenant will I not break, NOR ALTER THE THING THAT IS GONE OUT OF MY LIPS.

And just as Cain's offering was rejected by YAHUVEH because it was not what He required, so too will those be rejected who choose to honor a law that is OPPOSED to what YAHUVEH requires. Then, the fury of Cain toward Abel when his sacrifice was rejected will again be manifest in the fury of those who reject YAHUVEH'S Laws toward those who accept it. Does this sound too incredible to be true? You don't have to believe me- just watch and wait.

ISA 45:8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together;...

The earth at the foot of the cross opened during the earthquake at the moment of YAHUSHUA'S death (Mat. 27:50-51). Then:

JOHN 19:34 ...one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

Just as Daniel had prophesied, His Blood then flowed down through the freshly opened rock, falling upon the Mercy Seat- the central object of the Most Holy Place and the literal earthly throne of His Father:

DAN 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people, and upon thy holy city, to... make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting RIGHTEOUSNESS,... and to ANOINT THE MOST HOLY.

The prophecy of Isaiah 45:8, above, was then fulfilled- "salvation" and the way for all mankind to obtain the "righteousness" of YAHUSHUA did "spring up together" after "the earth opened" and His offering of His Own Blood was accepted by His Father.

1JOHN 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in the earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood:...

In an instant, death was defeated by the greatest sacrifice in all eternity. Dare we ever- for even an instant- lose sight of what has been done for us? I pray not.

And lest we do, we are reminded by the prophet, Habakkuk, who saw the future coming of the Savior in the heavens, that He STILL bears the mark of the spear in His side from which flowed His Precious Blood:

HAB 3:4 And his brightness was as the light; he had BRIGHT BEAMS coming OUT OF HIS SIDE: and THERE was the HIDING OF HIS POWER..... (Marginal reading).
