After becoming king, David determined to retrieve it and bring it to Jerusalem. The Israelites lost the ark during the days of Samuel (1 Samuel 4-6). God was emphasizing the care and meticulousness needed when dealing with His throne! God was clear that only the sons of Aaron could touch the ark, and that if anyone else did so, he would be struck dead (Numbers 4:15). The ark was to be carried by these poles, borne on the shoulders of the sons of Kohath in the tribe of Levi (Numbers 7:1-9). The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it” (Exodus 25:13-15). And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them. He commanded the Israelites to “make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. God not only gave detailed instructions on constructing the ark, but also on moving it. What amazing new revelation God has given us! It’s far more precious than gold!

God likens the new revelation He gives us to golden oil that flows through golden pipes (Zechariah 4:11-12). God uses gold to help us see how precious new revelation is.

This is the throne of God-this is from where God spoke to Israel. It was covered inside and out in pure gold. God gave clear, detailed instructions on how to build this ark (Exodus 25:10-22). ![]() In ancient Israel, the ark of the covenant was a replica of where God dwells, between the cherubim. Let’s study his example and draw some practical lessons. King David set a great example of building vision. We all must battle to have vision! We need vision if we are to let God reveal new truth to us, and if we are to survive and thrive spiritually and even physically. In some cases it is painful to see how little vision they have. Of those who have left since the new revelation about the new throne of David-some of the most amazing truth this Church has ever been given-I believe the main reason they left was a lack of vision. It also applies spiritually to God’s Church and its young people.įrom time to time, people leave this Church.
