Happy 12th month while we're at it!
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, and gold is often symbolic of purity and righteousness.
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.
This evening, at 8:30pm CDT, is the premiere of our new Virtual Shabbat Gathering! Be sure to visit our YouTube channel early for a time of fellowship. See you soon! https://www.youtube.com/@TriumphInTruthMedia

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.

The carrying poles for the Ark of the Covenant were mounted on the narrow ends of the Ark, not long sides, and may have protruded through the inner curtain of the Tabernacle like God's presence into our world. We can't see him face-to-face, but we can see the Son, and like the Cherubim, they are two witnesses or guards that lead to the presence of the Father.
The poles were removable, but God said never to remove them. Even with something so simple, he usually leaves us a way to disobey him if we choose to.
