ARK OF THE COVENANT

1) You know, the one that Moses supposedly called the "Ark of the Covenant!" No, absolutely not, It's the one the people imagined and thought to be!

2) "The Lord described it!" "On the mountain, very finely!" Moses also made it! As soon as he came down from the mountain!

3) “When Moses came down from the mountain, he covered his face!” Why? “So that his eyes wouldn’t wander!” “So that the people could see!”

4) ‘“The chest was made of gold-plated wood, five spans long!”’ ‘“Its width was three spans, its height three spans!”’ ‘“Its job is inner peace!”’

5) This is why it's called "Shekinah's Chest"! You took on a body so you could reconcile with your essence!

6) Nothing but "Shekinah" can bring "inner peace"! One who has "faith in their heart" will not weep in a cave!

7) '“It was human-sized!”’ '“Its body was like a coffin!”’ ‘“It had a gold-plated lid!”’ '“Its name was Repentance!”

8) ‘“Two winged angels!”’ ‘“Face to face!”’ ‘“He was lying on top of her!”’ ‘“To carry the Throne!”’

9) 'So close to the coffin!' 'Look, they are prostrating themselves!' 'They came in ecstasy saying, "The Lord is within!"'

10) These angels! The Torah says "Cherubim!" In Hebrew, it means "like the LORD"! He who awakens to this secret!

11) They awaken the "Shekinah" seed in the heart! Call them the "Great Saints of the Cancer sign"!

12) 'They were the first to give us our 'Shekinah Soul'! Thanks to them, humanity attained a 'transparent body'!

13) Heeding the devil, he descended from Heaven to Earth! From the transparent realm, he fell and took on a physical body!

14) Adam, before he could reach the truth, is prevented from entering Paradise! They protect the "Shekinah" from him! The guardians are always there!

15) The "Tree of Eternal Life" is "Shekinah" in paradise! If you can't find it before you die, you'll always be dead! What a tragedy!

16) The Cherubim oversee the "rivers of Paradise"! The statement called "The Torah" was "narrated from their chiefs"!

17) ‘“Their bodies are made of soil, two angels!”’ ‘“They became Moses’ guides!”’ “Moses received news from his Lord with them in the desert!”’

18) '“A coffin in every part”' '“It was gold-plated!”' '“The God says: For Shekinah, ‘Gold is the only conductor.’

19) ‘“The LORD carved two stones and made them into two tablets!”’‘So that it might be for the people, (Lord) wrote his two names!”’

20) ‘“He placed it vertically in the box!”’ ‘“Two equal plates!”’ It reflected two poles!The first sun and moon!

21)There are two stones in the Kaaba: 'The Black Stone!' and 'The Asad Stone!' 'Asad' means the happiest! 'Keep your promise!' Cross the path!

22)This is the double stone ‘“Dhul-Qarnayn!”’ ‘The pole with two horns!’ “Hold onto it and remember the promise you made to the Lord!”

23)Your heart changes, as it turns away from the Kaaba! Because your physical body has absorbed a little of the "Shekinah".

24)The stones in the chest are called 'stones of witness'! 'The Declaration of Faith!' 'It is paid by seeing the LORD!'

25)Into the section of the tent where the ark was kept! ‘“Except for Moses and Aaron, Entering was equivalent to death!”’

26) This place was like a sacred place of modesty: private! Only one person could enter! That's why the Kaaba is called "Bayt al-Haram!"

27) “Moses fixed his gaze between the two stones!” '“When He looks and remembers His promise from Eternity!”'

28) ‘“Forming between two stones, becoming a state!”’ ‘“It was transforming suddenly!”’ ‘“Into a state with a transparent body!”’

29) ‘“Between two angels!”’ ‘“A certain person was standing!”’ "He himself was walking in the desert, in front of the people!"

30) ‘“Like Moses, his face is always veiled!”’ ‘“No one could uncover it before he died!”’ ‘“A veil of light!”’

31) “‘IMAM’ means foremost! ‘MUBIN’ means manifest! ‘MUBIN IMAM’ ‘This is the transparent imam!’ ‘Do not deny it!’”

32) Through this Caliph, the Lord proved Himself! And (Lord) revealed to the nation what the "Hanif Religion" was.

33) 'He saw the Adam within him for the first time before he died! He understood that he was Adam! 'The center between the eyebrows!'

34)"The ascension is between two stones and two eyebrows!" Shake those two points, open your third eye!

35)'Pituitary' and 'pineal'! The names of two points! No one could look into the 'third eye' from the outside!

36) You can see it in your mind, even the outside world! The universe is within us, with all its stars!

37) It existed in old Russia too, this custom is copied from that secret! Whether you consider it a superstition or a fact!

38) When it was midnight on the ninth of January, the girl said to the Lord, "Show me my couple (twins)!"

39)She would place two mirrors facing each other, and two candles would burn between them! Of the same kind!

40) The girl kept staring between the two candles! She was so excited she broke out in a sweat, burning her body!

41) A phantom appeared between the mirrors! The phantom approached and took the form of a man!

42) But before this gentleman kisses the girl, the candles must go out! Otherwise, a genie's hand will squeeze the girl's hand!

43) Leave the girl here! Let's go back to the master up ahead! 'Shekinah again, as we thought!'

44) "The sacred ark had four rings, four arms!" Soil, water, air, fire, the ark made of body

45) ‘“This tiny Kaaba was carried in the desert with four arms!”’ ‘“The companions would take off their four arms while resting!”’

46) That is, when abandoned, death brings the physical body! 'Carry your chest again,' the one who created the suffering!

47) “When they arrived at the promised land, the Lord said: ‘Four supporting arms will be brought forth!’”

48) The name of that place is; ‘“Peace”’ (Selam) and ‘The Temple of Solomon!’ ‘Built without a hammer, that is, transparent and eternal!’

49) That's why 'Shekinah's coffin' is another name for it! The possessor of a body of light, the true child of Adam!

50) The Kaaba is a fixed chest, for it does not have four arms! It does not go to the grave like a coffin; pay attention to this difference!

51) You are the ark of the covenant, its covering is repentance! Repent! The LORD's 'Dot' and the 'B' above it!

52) Otherwise, you'll be a chest carrier for ages! A good child should find their own mother and father!

53) Repentance, look, between the coffin and the two angels! "Disgrace is for those who do not prostrate themselves!"

54)The name of the town where the Kaaba is located is ‘“Emin!”’ LORD OF THE UNIVERSE wrote ‘MUHAMMED ÂLÎ’ on the stone!

55) When Adam made a covenant with God, saying, "You are my Lord," these two stones bore witness to his words.

56) Therefore, the name of the chest is ‘THE ARK OF THE COVENANT!’ Everyone says ‘HU!’ ‘HU!’ with every breath!

57) ‘“Like the exalted angels, carry the Throne on your head!”’ Otherwise, you will be like Iblis, ‘against the Rahman!’

“You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold; two and a half cubits shall be its length and a cubit and a half its width. And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work you shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat. Make one cherub at one end, and the other cherub at the other end; you shall make the cherubim at the two ends of it of one piece with the mercy seat. And the cherubim shall stretch out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and they shall face one another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat. You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the Testimony that I will give you. And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony, about everything which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel.

Joshua 3:3-6

and they commanded the people, saying, “When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests, the Levites, bearing it, then you shall set out from your place and go after it. Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you must go, for you have not passed this way before.” And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.” Then Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, “Take up the ark of the covenant and cross over before the people.” So they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the people.

So it was, when the people set out from their camp to cross over the Jordan, with the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people, and as those who bore the ark came to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks during the whole time of harvest), that the waters which came down from upstream stood still, and rose in a heap very far away at Adam, the city that is beside Zaretan. So the waters that went down into the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, failed, and were cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho. Then the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the people had crossed completely over the Jordan.

And when the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines?

And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God. And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted so loudly that the earth shook. Now when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, “What does the sound of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?” Then they understood that the ark of the LORD had come into the camp. So the Philistines were afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp!” And they said, “Woe to us! For such a thing has never happened before.

Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary. For a tabernacle was prepared: the first part, in which was the lampstand, the table, and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary; and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All, which had the golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were the golden pot that had the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant; and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat.

And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill, accompanying the ark of God; and Ahio went before the ark. Then David and all the house of Israel played music before the LORD on all kinds of instruments of fir wood, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on sistrums, and on cymbals. And when they came to Nachon's threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled.

(8) The LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and placed there the man whom He had formed. (9) And from the ground the LORD God caused to grow every tree that was pleasing to the sight and good for food, with the tree of life in the middle of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and bad. (TNK)

Genesis 2:16-17

(16)And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you are free to eat; 17 but as for the tree of knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat of it; for as soon as you eat of it, you shall die." (TNK)

Genesis 3:1-7

(1) Now the serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild beasts that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say: You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?"2 The woman replied to the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the other trees of the garden. 3 It is only about fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden that God said: 'You shall not eat of it or touch it, lest you die.'"4 And the serpent said to the woman, "You are not going to die, 5 but God knows that as soon as you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like divine beings who know good and bad."

6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for eating and a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable as a source of wisdom, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave some to her husband, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they perceived that they were naked; and they sewed together fig leaves and made themselves loincloths.(TNK)

Bereshit Rabbah 15:6

And Adonai Eloheim made every pleasant tree sprout from the ground: It was taught that this was a tree that spread over all living things. R Yehuda bar Eliai said: The tree of life extended over a journey of 500 years and all the waters of Creation divided into streams beneath it. Rabbi Yudan said in the name of Rabbi Yehudah bar Eliai: It is not only the boughs that extend 500 years, but also its trunk that extends 500 years.

Ramban on Genesis 2:8:1

Our Sages were troubled by this (did the garden really require Adam to tend it and guard it?). They said in Bereshit Rabbah to "work her" and "guard her", and these phrases refer to the ritual offerings, as it says in Exodus 3:12, "You will serve God." This is what is written in Numbers 28:2: "You shall guard in order to offer me in its appointed time...." Their intention is to say that the plants and all living things depend upon the ancient higher forces and, from these forces, growth comes to them and through the offerings the blessing will be drawn to the upper powers and from them to the plants of the Garden of Eden and, from them, life in the world and the rains of goodwill and blessing that they may grow upon her [the earth], as the Sages would say: "The trees of Adonai are satisfied, the ceders of Lebanon that God planted (Bereshit Rabbah 15:1)". Rabbi Chaninah said: "They are satisfied with their life, they are satisfied with their water, they are content with their nature, for "their life" refers to their upper foundation, and "their water" refers to the goodly reservoir from which the rain descends and "their nature" refers to their power in heaven, as they would say: "There is not even one blade of grass below that does not have a constellation in the firmament that strikes it and says: "Grow!" (Bereshit Rabbah 10:6)"

Zohar, Bereshit 42

Rabbi Abba said: "It is written: the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Gen. 2:9). The tree of life, we have learned that it extends over a journey of five hundred years, and all the waters of Creation branch off below. The tree of life is precisely in the middle of the garden, conveying all waters of Creation, branching below, for that flowing, gushing river spreads into the garden, whence waters branch in many different directions.

Proverbs 3:18

(18) She is a tree of life to those who grasp her, And whoever holds on to her is happy.

Proverbs 11:30

(30) The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; A wise man captivates people.

Proverbs 15:4

(4) A healing tongue is a tree of life, But a devious one makes for a broken spirit.

Zohar Chadash, Bereshit 774

Rabbi Shimon said, the Holy Blessed One placed Adam at first in the Garden of Eden and gave him the Torah in order to labor in her and to observe her commandments, as Scripture writes: "The Tree of Life in the midst of the Garden (Bereshit 2:9) and "she is a Tree of Life to those who hold onto her (Proverbs 3:18)". Therefore, the Holy Blessed One said: When Adam will have pleasures in this Garden, her will immerse himself in her and observe her. But because of the delights and pleasures that Adam partook of there, he did not fulfill God's Torah and he was therefore banished from there.

Zohar Chadash, Bereshit 775

Rabbi Abba said in the name of Rabbi Chiyya: "It was an actual tree! There were two, the first one gave life to Adam. The other one, whoever ate from it, he would know good and evil, knowing the way of the good and the upright, by which a person becomes righteous, as well as the evil way, by which a person becomes corrupted. For that reason, the Holy Bless One commanded him not to eat from it, lest he reject the good and embrace evil.

Pirkei de-RabbiEliezer 21 (c. 8th cent. C.E.) “And from the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden” (Genesis 3:3) – R. Zeira taught: “and from the fruit of the tree – there is no “tree” other than man, who is compared to the tree, as it says, “for man is like the tree of the field”; “Which is in the middle of the garden” – there is no “garden” other than woman, who is compared to a garden, as it says, “A garden locked is my own, my bride” (Song 4:12). And [the verse] said “the field” instead of saying “woman” as a euphemism: [God was saying]: just as it is with this garden, in which anything that is planted grows and bears fruit, so too this woman, every time she is inseminated she will conceive and give birth from that act of intercourse. http://thetorah.com/are-trees-of-the-field-human/ ("Are the Trees of the Field Human?"

Great is Torah, for it gives life to its doers in this world and in the next world, as it is written: ‘For they [the teachings of the Torah] give life to those who find them and healing to all flesh’ (Proverbs 4:22). It also says: ‘Healing will it be for your flesh and marrow for your bones’ (ibid., 3:8). It also says: ‘It is a tree of life to those who take hold of it, and those who support it are fortunate’ (3:18). And it says: ‘They are a graceful garland for your head and necklaces for your throat’ (1:9). And it says: ‘It will give your head a graceful garland; it will provide you a crown of glory’ (4:9). And it says: ‘For in me [the Torah] will you lengthen days, and years of life will be added to you’ (9:11). And it says: ‘Length of days in its right hand; in its left are wealth and honor’ (3:16). And it is written: ‘For length of days, years of life, and peace will they [the Torah’s teachings] increase for you’ (3:2).

“Their messengers also told them: "Know that the sign of his kingship will be the coming of the Ark to you, in which there is a Shekinah (Sekine) from your Lord and a remnant of the family of Moses and Aaron. The angels will bring it; surely in that is a clear sign for you, if you are believers." (Quran)

Then Allah sent down (Allah’s) Shekinah (Sekine) upon His Messenger and the believers, and (Allah) sent down armies which you did not see, and (Allah) punished the disbelievers. This is the punishment of the disbelievers. (Quran)

“If you do not help him, then surely Allah has helped him. Remember when the disbelievers brought him out as the second of two companions, and while they were in the cave, he said to his companion, “Do not grieve, for Allah is with us.” And Allah sent down upon him Shekinah (Sekine) and supported him with armies you did not see, and He rendered the word of the disbelievers wretched. The word of Allah is the Most High, and Allah is Wise and Mighty.” (Quran)

“It is (Allah) who sends down the Shekinah (Sekine) into the hearts of the believers, so that they may increase in faith. The armies of the earth and the firmaments belong to Allah. Allah is Wise, All-Knowing.” (Quran)

“We had indeed made a covenant with Adam before, but he forgot it, and We did not find him resolute.” (Quran)

“They did not appreciate Allah as (Allah) deserves. They said, ‘Allah has not revealed anything to mankind.’ Say, ‘Who has revealed to you the Book, which Moses brought as a light and guidance for mankind, which you have written down in scriptures, revealing some of it but concealing most of it, and which you and your forefathers did not know, and by which you have been taught?’ Say, ‘Allah.’ Then leave them to wallow in their own mire.” (Quran)

“And when Moses came at the appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, ‘Show me yourself, and I will see you.’ He said, ‘You cannot see me, but look at this mountain; if it remains in its place, then you will see me.’ When his Lord appeared to the mountain, he shattered it, and Moses fell unconscious. When he recovered, he said, ‘Glory be to You! I repent to You! I am the first of the believers.’” (Quran)

“When Moses returned to his people, he was filled with anger and sorrow, saying to them, ‘What evil deeds you have done in my absence! Did you hasten the command of your Lord?’ He put down the tablets and seized his brother by the head, pulling him close. He said, ‘O son of my mother! Indeed, this people found me weak and were about to kill me; so do not give my enemies any glad tidings over me, and do not associate me with these wrongdoers.’” (Quran)

“When his anger subsided, Moses took the tablets, and in them was a sign of guidance and mercy for those who fear their Lord.” (Quran)

“Moses chose seventy of his men for the appointed meeting. When the earthquake struck them, he said, ‘O my Lord! If You had willed, You would have destroyed them and me before. Will You destroy us because of some of the foolish among us? This is only a trial from You; You lead astray whom You will and guide whom You will. And You are our Guardian. Forgive us and have mercy on us. And You are the best of those who forgive.’” (Quran)
