The Ark of the Covenant Joshua Chapter 1 My Vision of Jesus and the Ark of the Covenant

The Ark of the Covenant Joshua Chapter 1 My Vision of Jesus and the Ark of the Covenant

Hello everyone, 

What a blessing it is to be here with you today, "Let's go ahead and open up in prayer." (Hello Melony, good to see you.)

Opening Prayer 

Father, today we just take time to thank You that this program is an extension of who You are.  Through Your Rest Father we give You all the glory and honor, along with, all the praise. 

We ask Father that there will be a firmament over this program and under it and that Your Rest and Righteousness will be deposited in all the heart who join in. 

Father we just thank You and give You praise in Jesus name.  Amen.  (They all said? Amen.)

Joshua 1 

1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan

Moses is dead.  That is so amazing to me.  Moses led the children of Israel to cross the Red Sea with his rod in his hand and the sea split.  Yet, it was Joshua that led the people to cross over the Jordan and did not do it with a rod.  He did it by training the priest how to carry the Ark of the Covenant of God's Rest and Righteousness.  As they carried it on their shoulders Joshua commanded "As you go through the Jordan the priests go out first." 

What does this meant to you? Why?

Then, Joshua commanded the people "Keep your eyes on the Ark of the Covenant." Keep your eyes on God's Rest, "Moses is dead.  By his rod he led the people through the Red Sea with no rest.  In fact they traveled in the wilderness for 40 years, but Joshua led the people through the Jordan with the Ark of the Covenant.

What are the two main differences  you see in the Life of Moses and the Life of Joshua on the way they led God's people?

What does this mean to you? Why?

In the Life of  Moses the Ark of the Covenant was kept in a hiding place and the Priests could only enter in once a year.  They could not carry it on their shoulders.  In fact, if they lived a life that was unholy they would die by standing near it because it meant their lives were unholy. 

Joshua and his Priests were allowed to touch the Ark of the Covenant and were allowed to carry the Ark of the Covenant.  As well, the people were allowed to see the Ark of the Covenant but in the Life of Moses the people could not have access to God's Rest.

What are other differences you see in the Life of Moses and the Life of Joshua?

Why is this relevant for today? 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I think it is powerful that all throughout the Life of Joshua, in the land of Canaan the Promised Land the Priest were allowed to take the Ark of God's Rest and hold it, and go with it; walk with it; carry it; and the people were allowed to keep their eyes on God's Rest on the Ark of the Covenant. 

We are living in an age where we have heard a lot about Moses in Modern Day Christianity and yet I believe that message has an opportunity to teach us "Something is missing."  It is not about one person it is not about what the Prophets do or do not say.  It is about God's Heart.  It is about His Rest.  It is about walking with Him.  It is about going with Him.  It is about crossing into a place of His Rest and Righteousness.  As a Nation Joshua was given a message when he went into Canaan, "Drain the Swamp."  Thirty One plus Kings and all their inhabitants possess the land yet it was God's land.  So, it is not about what you fight.  It is not about one Prophet.  It is not about the Red Sea.  It is about God's Rest and Righteousness leading the Way.  When your eyes are fixed on God's Rest, the Ark of the Covenant, in Righteousness He will not only go before you but He will drive everything out that is in your way.  

Today, we want to go on a journey where we are going to look into the Life of the Jordan.  I have been sitting on this message for about five weeks and I have been practicing it.  I never give a message that I have not walked myself.  It is interesting to me that Moses is dead and "God tells them to carry the Ark of the Covenant through the Jordan."  Just as He was with Moses He will be with them to split the Jordan and they will be a Nation of His Rest. 

We want to pause for just a moment before I get into more of this message as it is very close to my heart on the Ark of the Covenant.  I have been reading every line of the Book of Joshua and I have been praying in tongues every line of the Book of Joshua line by line, and chapter by chapter.

"My Vision of the Ark of the Covenant: 

Jesus and the Cross, Jesus in a Heavenly Place 

With the Ark of the Covenant and More."

Text Transcription of the "Vision of the Ark of the Covenant." 

It is special to me because not long ago I had a vision where I saw Jesus and the Ark of the Covenant.  In my vision I saw Jesus taken down from the cross and two people who brought His body down off the cross and onto the ground.  I saw one at His right arm and one on His left arm.  There, they began to put oil spikenard on His body to prepare Him for the burial.  As they were preparing His body Jesus opened up His eyes and He looked at me and smiled.

As they continued to prepare His body tow more people showed up and one at His right leg, and one on His left leg.  They began to anoint His body with oil and His legs they anointed as well.  As they began to anoint His body with oil and His legs, when they were done they picked up the body of Jesus.  Two people in the front and two people in the back and they carried His body on their shoulders and began to walk in towards the tomb.  I was a dark cave and Jesus turned around a second time and smiled at me. (Doris welcome)  As I saw Jesus being carried by these four people on their shoulders, like this picture, into a place of His burial the tomb, I could see His body no more.  

All the sudden I was taken to a heavenly place and there before me, like this picture behind me but it was uncovered, was the Ark of the Covenant.  I stood in front of it and it was gold.  It had a crown of gold and it had two poles just like the picture here.

On the top of it were two living angels whose wings went upward and their faces with their chin downward.  On the Mercy Seat lid, or the Ark of the Covenant life, the Body of Jesus laid.  They took His body into the tomb but He ended up on the Ark of the Covenant lid.  

When I noticed that He was there and the angels did not move and their pose they kept their head bowed down looking at Him.  When I knew and I looked up and saw that that I looked at Jesus.  I thought o myself, "Ah! That is how Your Blood was sprinkled on the Mercy Seat."  When I thought that the third time, "Jesus opened His eyes and He looked at me and smiled." 

The whole Book of Joshua is about the Priest carrying the Ark of the Covenant, or "God's Rest & Righteousness."  We looked several weeks ago at the Footstool of God, "The Chuppah."  It looked just like this with the Bride in it.  I taught you a little bit about that.  There is a Footstool in heaven that we sit with Christ at the right hand of the Father as our resting place and there is a Footstool in the earth, "The Chuppah" where the Body of Jesus and the Bride are in it.  It is carried on the shoulders of the Priests not the Prophets on the Nations to behold God's Rest in Righteousness. 

Moses is dead.  The crossing of the Red Sea is about the death and burial of Jesus and how the children of Israel were protected and the horse and rider were thrown into the sea.  But, the Jordan is about God's Rest and Righteousness and how you live in that Rest with God as a Nation, as a Priesthood, a Holy Nation, a peculiar people, lively stone.  The Holy Temple of God with us through Christ.  When we are born of God the word born means, "An extension of who God is through Christ." 

So, when you read the book of Joshua, are your eyes on the Nephilim, or are your eyes on the "Ark?" When you walk in your day, "Are your eyes on what is before you to conquer, or are your eyes on the place of God's Rest and Righteousness?"  Moses is dead.  

I believe the Prophets have missed it.  But, there is a Remnant who has not and they are those who understand "The Ark of the Covenant of God's Rest & Righteousness will cover the earth, because the Habitation of God: God the Father, God the Holy Spirit and God the Son, have filled the Temple. Hallelujah! 

Joshua 1:2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, though, and all this people unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. (3) Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said to Moses.

We will talk about that a little bit maybe another time because I am not really interested in that right now.  But, I do want to say that God in this chapter we looked at las week told Joshua, "Until THEY know how to walk in My Rest and they inherit what I have given them to inherit then you Joshua--you, can go back and you can enjoy what I have given to you to enjoy." 

The Prophet's job is to teach the Nation God's Rest and to teach them how to see with the eyes of their heart.  It is not about antichrist.  It is not about .."I just want to stay positive."  It is like fire shut up in my bones.  But, I will stay on the Life side of His Glory for His honor." 

So, take a journey with me and let us go over to Joshua 6. 

End of part one.

This is a "Beyond the Veil School of Teaching" Live Audio Text Transcription of a message Sister Lara shared in our Sunday Live.

Beyond the Veil School of Teaching is an Educational Facebook Group that teaches God's people how to see "In the Spirit" through the meditation of God's Word at personal student desks.  Those that are in this group are considered to be the Family of God and have graduated after formal training of God's Rest and Righteousness in the Word of God. These same people have been and are currently actively pursuing God's Rest in their lives through the finished works of the cross. 

Thank you for subscribing to this blog.  To learn more about God's Rest & Righteousness please subscribe and join our Facebook Group "Foundations of God's Rest & Righteousness."  A message that Sister Lara was sent back from heaven in October 2019 to share to the Body of Christ after dying in her sleep and taken before the Throne of God, being sent by the Father.
