Question Page

Q. In Hebrews 9:4 we have the contents of the ark. “The golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant.” But in 1 Kings 8:9, we read: “There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone.” What do we learn from this?

A. The manna and rod were provided especially for the wilderness journey. The manna was the sustenance of the children of Israel, and is a type of Christ, as He explained in John 6:48-58. The rod was for their support and comfort, as we have in Psalm 23:4. These two items are eliminated in 1 Kings because they will no longer be needed in the millennial reign of Christ, which is the picture we have in the ark coming to rest in Solomon’s temple.

However, the tables of stone remain, because God’s standard remains unchanged, although He can act in grace just as He did in the wilderness because all His holy requirements are met in Christ, of which the ark is a type. The blood was on the mercy seat and as a result God could bless His people without compromise.
