So I Made The Ark

Deuteronomy 10:1-5 NIV
1 At that time the Lord said to me, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones and come up to me on the mountain. Also make a wooden ark. 2 I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. Then you are to put them in the ark.”
3 So I made the ark out of acacia wood and chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I went up on the mountain with the two tablets in my hands. 4 The Lord wrote on these tablets what he had written before, the Ten Commandments he had proclaimed to you on the mountain, out of the fire, on the day of the assembly. And the Lord gave them to me. 5 Then I came back down the mountain and put the tablets in the ark I had made, as the Lord commanded me, and they are there now.

The word from God is rewritten and placed on the ark. The mercy seat sits on top of the ark.
This points to Jesus Who embodies the law, fulfills it, and extends the mercy of God as the only way to be acceptable to God.
Climb into the ark of Jesus. It will come to rest in a new world. There is still time.
Best voyage you'll ever make.
