“So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.”
1 Chronicles 16:1 KJV
They brought the Ark of God and placed it right in the center of the tent that David had pitched for it; then they worshiped by presenting burnt offerings and peace offerings to God. The Ark represented the Presence of God in the Holy of Holies where the high priest went but once a year to atone for the sins of the Israelites. David brought the Ark to Jerusalem and anyone who wanted to worship came to where the Ark was kept, until Solomon built the Temple. But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own Blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption for all mankind. What an awesome Saviour and what an awesome Atonement. Hallelujah!
