Ichabod.... NOT.

The one that God's presence lived around in the  
the one in the desert,    
then the promised land,   
and now in Heaven! (Rev 11:19)       

The Ark of the Covenant.      
The box was a bit bigger than most 'end of the bed chests'...
about 30"x30"x50" long

1 Samuel 4 tells the beginning of a kinda crazy story
where the Ark is used as a weapon against Philistines
and it doesn't work.
God doesn't 'come through'
On the day the box got captured:
The priest and his 2 sons die,
One of the son's wife gives birth, and as she is dying
she names her baby
Ichabod
'The Glory has departed'

The box is Gone, God is Gone, all is lost..... :(

What is this BOX?
That is now in Heaven...

That one is not the same actual box in Heaven
because Moses was instructed to
create the one for earth
after looking at it in Heaven
He saw it in a vision when he was on top of the mountain - Ex 25:9-22

The Ark
of the
Covenant.

Not a weapon against the enemies of God's chosen people
but really a Declaration
for eternity
of God's Promises...
...His Provision
...and Presence

Lord Jesus,

These things are mysterious
You had copies of Heavenly objects
made on earth
and You inhabited them.....

And now You...
....inhabit
me.

Whoa.

Your Presence
Your Provision

in me - Colossians 1:27

Today.

Wow.
That changes
everything.

:)
