In this sermon Revelation Of The Kingdom In Symbol, Blood on the mercy seat for atonement proved death had occurred. The price was paid. This foreshadowed the need for Jesus to pay the price of death. Jesus died and shed all His blood for our sins. He resurrected, proving he conquered death, and his sacrifice was a way of conquering sin and the death sin brought. We see the ark of the covenant as an important symbol in light of our Christianity. The bible tell us we are included as being seated with Christ on this throne because he paid the price for our sins.
