Episode notes
Holiness Is Presence-Defined
- The Holy of Holies is the center where God's presence resides, making it the holiest spot by God's location, not material value.
- Holiness is defined by God's presence, not by inherent qualities of objects or places.
Mercy Seat Is God's Throne
- The mercy seat on the Ark is God's throne where he reigns, not a mere symbol.
- The space between the cherubim's wings on the mercy seat is the actual throne of Yahweh, embodying God's real presence.
Mercy Covers the Law
- The law resides inside the Ark, but God's mercy covers it, symbolizing mercy triumphing over judgment.
- God placing his mercy above the law shows forgiveness surpasses strict law adherence.
