And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat.
#exodus 25:18
The Ark of the Covenant, the Menorah, and the Shewbread Table were made of beaten, not molded gold. A pure heart comes through long struggle. Life's scars are necessary, but temporary. Beating out the gold, like beating out the righteous character of a faithful child of YHVH, was a violent process, but it was also carefully planned and executed.
There were two cheruvim on the ark, two arks made, two tablets, two sets of tablets, two poles in the ark, possibly two jars of manna, two prophets of Revelation, Moses and Elijah at the transfiguration, two great Covenants…
What is the significance? Some of these can be attributed to the principle of two witnesses, but I'm not sure they all can.
You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold. Two cubits and a half shall be its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth.
#exodus 25:17
The "mercy seat" is the focus of the Tabernacle. It's Hebrew name, kaporet, is from the same root as the pitch on Noah's ark. It means "atonement" or "covering". Although it is literally the covering of the Ark, it is also an allusion to the spiritual covering of the Son which allows us to enter the presence of the Father, hence it is called the seat of mercy. "Seat" in this context refers to the focus of a thing, not a place to sit, like a county seat is the capital city, the focus, of a county.
#yeshua is our covering, sheltering us, hiding our uncleanness from the eyes of the Father, enabling our forgiveness and our approach to his throne, and he is the focus ("end") of Torah.
