"Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a severe hailstorm." [Revelation 19:11] "The ark of the covenant... This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant." [Hebrews 9:4] The tablets of stone reminds me of God the Father writing with His finger the commandments on stone. The manna reminds me of the Lord Jesus Christ who is manna from Heaven. The budding staff reminds me of the Holy Spirit who uses the budding of trees to illustrate the authority of Lord Jesus Christ over Nature. All these signs stand ever in Zion before God as constant, enduring reminders to us all.
