ARK OF THE COVENANT 3

In the night back on 7 March 2024 I heard this:
‘We are to be the very things that were in the Ark of the Covenant…’ (Continued from last two days)

‘We continue with these observations: Aaron was Moses’ “prophet” (Exodus 7:1) and working associate (Exodus 4:27-30). Hence, the phrase “Moses and Aaron” appears 64 times in the RSV, in the [Protestant 66-book] Old Testament: all but five of these instances in Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers. God calls the staff of Moses “your rod” (Exodus 14:16) and he also refers to “the rod of Aaron” (Numbers 17:10; cf. 17:6, 8). Then the text summarizes that they worked in concert (“Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded…”: 7:20). It’s fascinating that after mentioning both, the text states, “he lifted up the rod…” We can’t immediately tell which one did it. But the context of 7:19 strongly suggests that Aaron did: according to his role as assistant.’ (Catholic Register)

The Lord told Moses, “your brother Aaron will be your prophet” (Exodus 7:1) and this is a clear and definitive picture of the apostle and prophet working in tandem to guide and build and instruct the people of God. This is much like Ephesians 2:19-22: “So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.”

Aaron was told to “throw down your staff in front of Pharaoh and it will become a serpent.” (Exodus 7:9)
Maybe the staff is a sign of authority to consume the snakes of our day… We have become ‘Aaron’s staff’ type people when we move in signs, wonders and miracles and power by obedience to the Father and take authority over snakes.

““I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.” Jesus
