To-day the children of the covenant (the children of God)
are the Ark of the Lord because His Spirit dwells within us.
We are also lights for the Lord's anointed because the
light of Christ is in each one of us.
It is not the clay lamp that is seen from afar
but the light which beams out from within..
We are a resting place........
a habitation for the God of Jacob.

To-day the real presence of God is evident
in the body of Christ, that is ,
the ark is a vehicle of the real presence.

the ark of the covenant could be seen inside it.
