A week ago we began our study of Exodus 25:10-22. That day we focused on the meaning of the word "ark" as preservation when it is used in the Bible. We also learned how the ark is intended to preserve God's testimony to us.
Yesterday we read the same verses again. This time we focused on the construction materials. The 3-layered sandwich of gold on the outside, acacia wood in the center, and gold on the inside, is a picture of the Godhead: God the Father on the outside, God the Son, the center of our salvation, and God the Holy Spirit on the inside. We also learned that the poles placed in the rings provided for transportation. The fact that they are always there speaks of God's desire to go where His people are. We ended by reading three passages from Isaiah that tell us how God goes behind us, before us, and tells us the right way to go.
Next week we will study Part 3 of Exodus 25:10-22. Since I am teaching material from Beth Moore's study, A Woman's Heart: God's Dwelling Place, I will not be posting study questions on-line during the week.
Then on October 17th we will study Part 4 of the same passage.
