Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

Did you know that the Israelite, when traveling from place to place, still could not see the ark of the covenant? All they saw were badgers’ skins. What is beautiful in this picture, though, is that the priests first took down the dividing veil of which Hebrews says pictured Christ’s flesh (10:20), and used it to cover the ark. Over it was put a covering of blue, I assume that pictures His heavenly origin and character. And THEN it was covered with the skins. POINT: Jesus covers the mercy seat!
