Hosea 12:5 -7 Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial. Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually. He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.

Hosea 12:10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.

Now the Ark of the Covenant is actually buried within each individual. It is the spirit (mind) which is often referred to as a mountain (Spirit) in some prophecies of the Old Testament. Course being in the Old Testament, you'll have a physical representation of something spiritual. A memorial. A image of spiritual, but not the very image. That is how some things are sealed to the hearts of men, who are only of the flesh, so can only see the flesh through their unclean hearts. Similar to those hidden images in pictures that you have to change your perception to see clearly.

Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

A conversion, and a renewing of the mind by the word of God is what removes that seal.

Hebrews 4:12-13 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

For his word divides asunder soul and spirit, allowing the spirit to see with the spirit, instead of seeing through the soul, and its delusions of the world. Your eyes will be opened with all plainness of spirit, and you'll be able to see through all things.

Hebrews 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; (Meaning not the very image of the Earthly figure) but into heaven itself (The true spiritual image), now to appear in the presence of God for us:

The Old Testament is a physical manifestation of what one must do spiritually within. It explains what was, what is and what is to come. The deeds of the Lord God and the wicked one, Satan, that living soul in a man, acts as a memorial to the the Living God of Heaven, the Father, since the Lord God used to mimic the Father. He is the God of THIS world after all, since through him all things were created, including Satan (Start seeing him as some internal, which causes all unrighteousness in us)

Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

And as such that crooked serpent, which has the knowledge of good and evil uses our earthly lusts, and addictions to fleshly things to blind our minds, to the point where we cannot even comprehend spiritual things that the natural man the flesh dominated by the soul cannot perceive under any circumstances, until we're circumcised from our hearts.

2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

However this cannot be understood at all unless the veil upon the mind is done away by applying what Jesus taught. Which is to turn to God within, in spirit, seeking after his righteousness and knowledge of the Kingdom, and it is Father that removes the veil by renewing our minds within.

Isaiah 25:7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.

Thus; with or spirit which is the mountain will have all the things of the heart within it cast out, divided asunder.

2 Corinthians 3:14-16 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read (The Old Testament), the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.

And what he taught was to Seek FIRST the Father's Kingdom AND his righteousness WITHIN, and all these things will be added unto you. You have to go within the Ark, to receive spiritual instruction and guidance from the Father.

Psalm 31:3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.

Enter into thy closet which is the house of God, spirit, which is his image and shut the door (To the world and your hearts thoughts, being still and knowing God), and pray to your Father who is in secret (I suggest asking for righteousness and wisdom), and the Father who seeth in secret will openly reward you.

Psalm 91:1-3 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 

The Old Testament (The Letter, Scripture) has one looking out into the world through the "Living Soul" which is the veil that gives a distorted view of reality, that is the snare which Satan has us captured with, and because we believe we are this character that it has created above all else, we in turn oppose our true selves.

2 Timothy 2:25-26 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

The New Testament (Good News about the spirit) should have one looking WITHIN with the Spirit (mind) which enables one to see the truth. Which will then make sense of what is WITH-OUT not only in the Old Testament, but the whole world. For example


Deuteronomy 31:26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.

Physical. (The OLD)

Joshua 6:4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.

and;

Joshua 6:6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the Lord.

Of the spirit. (The NEW)

Revelation 8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

Revelation 8:6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

And the icing on the cake.

1 Kings 6:19 And the oracle (For shadowing of Jesus) he prepared in the house within (Spirit), to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

The Living God of Heaven, the Father will always prevail, in ALL things.
