VIII. MAIN BODY:

Exodus 25:10 (King James Version)

And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

A. Material used: shittim wood

"And they shall make an ark of shittim wood:"

Shittim wood or wood symbolizes humanity of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

1 Timothy 2:5 (Amplified Bible)

For there [is only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,

Philippians 2:7-8 (Amplified Bible)

But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being.

And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross!

1 Peter 4:1 (Amplified Bible)

SO, SINCE Christ suffered in the flesh for us, for you, arm yourselves with the same thought and purpose [patiently to suffer rather than fail to please God]. For whoever has suffered in the flesh [having he mind of Christ] is done with [intentional] sin [has stopped pleasing himself and the world, and pleases God],

1 John 4:2-3 (Amplified Bible)

By this you may know (perceive and recognize) the Spirit of God: every spirit which acknowledges and confesses [the fact] that Jesus Christ (the Messiah) [actually] has become man and has come in the flesh is of God [has God for its source];

And every spirit which does not acknowledge and confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh [but would annul, destroy, ever, disunite Him] is not of God [does not proceed from Him]. This [nonconfession] is the [spirit] of the antichrist, [of] which you heard that it was coming, and now it is already in the world.

B. Measurement: 27 inches wide by 45 inches long by 27 inches high

"two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof"

Exodus 25:10 (Contemporary English Version)

Tell the people to build a chest of acacia wood forty-five inches long, twenty-seven inches wide, and twenty-seven inches high.

Hebrews 9:4 (Amplified Bible)

It had the golden altar of incense and the ark (chest) of the covenant, covered over with wrought gold. This [ark] contained a golden jar which held the manna and the rod of Aaron that sprouted and the [two stone] slabs of the covenant [bearing the Ten Commandments].

Being human, the LORD JESUS CHRIST is True ALMIGHTY GOD from the Ancient times, but He became Man for us to save us from all our sins. In His Humanity, He was also overlaid with gold (Divinity). It's like a coffin.

The Only Human that was born to die for the sins of many.

2 Corinthians 5:21 (Amplified Bible)

For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness].

Hebrews 12:2 (Amplified Bible)

Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Romans 5:8 (Amplified Bible)

But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.

What's the content of this coffin?

Hebrews 9:4 (Amplified Bible)

It had the golden altar of incense and the ark (chest) of the covenant, covered over with wrought gold. This [ark] contained a golden jar which held the manna and the rod of Aaron that sprouted and the [two stone] slabs of the covenant [bearing the Ten Commandments].

1. golden jar which held the manna - symbolizes the disobedience of the people to believe GOD to provide. rebellion of man againts GOD's providence

2. rod of Aaron - symbolizes rebellion of man against GOD's leader

3. ten commandments - symbolizes rebellion of man against GOD's commandments

All of these 3 elements inside the coffin can only be contained by GOD, nowadays, people want to carry them themselves. So do what 1 Peter 5:7.

1 Peter 5:7 (Amplified Bible)

Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.

Psalms 55:22 (Amplified Bible)

Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail).

IX. CONCLUSION:

Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You are born to die for my sins and I am now the righteousness of GOD in Your Name.
