The Mercy Seat on the Ark of the Covenant has much significance. It is not mentioned by name except in the Old Testament, but it is a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ (Heb 9:14).
The Mercy Seat is where the blood of animals was sacrificed for the blood of sinful men rather than them sacrificing their own blood. For many, the sacrifice of animal blood seems pagan, but Yahweh never required the blood of humans, excepting one Man who happened to be God Himself. The sacrifice of animal species was done so that the Adamic species need not be sacrificed for their sins.
It is to be noted that sacrifices in ancient times were all domesticated beasts. The most innocent of the animals were sacrificed for the sins of mankind, and their blood would be all there was for the mutated blood of mankind.
The Mercy Seat upon the Ark of the Covenant was kept behind the curtains of the Holy of Holies wherein only the priests could go. When Jesus was crucified and His blood was shed, the veil in the Temple was rent in two (Mat 27:41), and by the way, the rocks beneath the feet of Jesus was rent as well.
The blood of Jesus flowed sufficiently to redeem the Adam’s kind of all the Earth, and the archaeologist, Ron Wyatt, says that it ran beneath Gordon’s Calvary onto the westward side of the Mercy Seat which had been reserved for the blood of Jesus (https://youtu.be/6AbVOdRigOA).
God designed the Mercy Seat to cover the Law which was to be
placed beneath it:
21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. 22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel. (Exod 25:21-22)
God sat on the Law (the Ten Commandments). He kept the Law for the Israelites, not that He was the Law but that the blood which was sacrificed was for that time ample to cover the Law. Just think on that! Giving the most prime of the firstborn animals as an offering to God when in this day few Christians will even part with their money! Their own sacrifice covered their sins, and God cleansed them for presenting some of “themselves” to Him.
Since the Blood of Jesus was the perfect sacrifice, for all; once and for all (Heb 10:10), no longer was a veil required to conceal God’s mercy and man’s sins. Jesus redeemed the sins of all.
Suppose that the intent of the Mercy Seat was to symbolically change the blood of the Israelites by a substitution of the blood of domesticated animals. Their pacific nature would be transferred to the people by the mercies of God; not that their blood necessarily changed but their nature.
What is now known is that the DNA of both animals and men includes their natures; men are naturally men and beasts naturally beasts. God “coded” them in their DNA that way when He created them.
The tamest of all the animals was Adam’s species (very good). God created him above the creatures to have dominion over them. After original sin, Lucifer — another kind of being — presumed dominion over the man and when Adam hearkened unto Eve, not only did the serpentine nature of Lucifer have dominion over him but the woman as well. Feminism was born that day.
Since Cain was of the Wicked One (1 John 3:12), apparently Lucifer’s nature had overcome Eve and the blood of Cain had evil in it. Cain means “Wanderer” which points out that his genetics became dominant as he spread sin all over what was once holy.
The Mercy Seat was to vicariously cleanse the blood of the Israelites.
For one year only, it was to tame them and keep them righteous and of God. There
was one exception; the first of God’s “flock” to be sacrificed. One time only
in Old Testament times did God “sacrifice” human beings:
13 Thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the Lord. 14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine… 17 For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself… 21 And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the Lord; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them. (Num 8:13-14, 17, 21)
The Mercy Seat was for the priests to make an offering to God but before that, God offered the priests to Himself. The Levites were set apart to be His. Aaron and Moses set them apart for God and God sanctified (Hebrew qadas) them. God cleansed them and made them holy, or right in His eyes.
Aaron would wash the Levites on the outside (Num 8:15) and God would wash them on the inside, indubitably with His Holy Spirit. Aaron made the “propitiation” for them somehow. Literally, the word for atonement, kapar, is “to cover with pitch” (Strong’s Dict.).
Somehow Aaron did to the Levites what Noah did to the Ark, only symbolically. Perhaps he anointed them with olive oil, oil from the trees of life, after they were washed.
Something spiritually happened to the Levites on the inside; their natures changed. God made them new creatures, of course, creatures that would soon begin to degenerate.
To this day, the DNA of Levites is different than other Jews. Not all Levites were priests. Many had duties that were secular, skillful, and even janitorial since they kept the Tabernacle and the Temples. Some of the Levites were priests who served the Lord directly, to wit:
Y-chromosomal Aaron is the name given to the hypothesized most recent common ancestor of the patrilineal Jewish priestly caste known as Kohanim (singular "Kohen", also spelled "Cohen"). According to the traditional understanding of the Hebrew Bible, this ancestor was Aaron, the brother of Moses. (Wikipedia)
Without going into matrilineal and patrilineal chromosomes, the latter is used to identify the most Hebrew of the Hebrews — the Israelite priests. Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews to this day show a preponderance of Cohen (priestly) DNA of the Aaronic priesthood.
Even among the dark races of Africa, “Early research suggested that the 6/6 matches found among male Lemba of Southern Africa confirmed their oral history of descent from Jews and connection to Jewish culture” (Thomas MG et al. (February 2000). "Y chromosomes traveling south: the cohen modal haplotype and the origins of the Lemba--the "Black Jews of Southern Africa"". American Journal of Human Genetics. 66 (2): 674–86).
It seems that Cohen blood, taken from Jews surnamed “Cohen,” does indicate their Aaronic DNA. For the Lemba, Sephardic Jews, and Ashkenazi Jews; Aaron would be what geneticists call their “genetic Adam.”
When God set the Levites apart by washing them inside, He did something to their blood that remains in their DNA to this day. The blood of God’s people is paramount!
Lucifer in Eve changed the blood of Cain, and Lucifer in anyone will change their natures. Because all have sinned, then all, just as David, are “shapen in iniquity” (Psalm 51:5). The blood of sinners has iniquity in it, and the purpose of Jesus was to return to the Mercy Seat (then the Cross) and cover the Earth with His “pitch” — His very blood.
The blood of David would be much different than the blood of
his chief kohen. The former would be mutated and the latter certainly purer.
Paul wrote about the blood of Levi and Jesus:
9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. 10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him. 11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? (Heb 7:9-12)
Levi was covered with “pitch,” maybe not literally but figuratively. Yahweh, perhaps, made a garment for the priests as He did for Adam and Eve in the beginning. (Gen 3:21). It turns out that indeed God did design garments for priests to signify that they were different inside; that they had grace on them bestowed at their sanctification when Yahweh set them apart. Those garments and their roles kept them kohanim until the Temple was destroyed.
Aaron covered them on the outside to signify what God would do to them inside. God had taken sinful Hebrews and changed the blood of the Levites. By the time of the crucifixion even the Chief Priests — the chief kohanim — had mutated to be as Judas who had the Wicked One in him.
In the beginning of Tabernacle worship, the blood of wicked Aaron was made pure in that one branch. Levi was the new “Abel” whose blood was righteous (Mat 23:35). Because kohen blood had mutated because of miscegenation and sin, the Aaronic priesthood would no longer suffice.
Paul explained that the Levites of Aaron were made pure by God. He restored their blood, apparently to their next “Adam” and that might be to the blood of Isaac who was of God and Sarah. (See my book, The Omega Variant, for that claim.)
Since Melchisedec was without lineage, it can be assumed that he was God manifested in the days of Noah and Abraham. Abraham paid tithes to him before Levi was ever born. Melchisedec has purer blood than the Levites, and Jesus was of the “bloodline” of Melchisedec since both identify as God.
The “Y-chromosomal Aaron” is all about the Aaronic priesthood and science has since shown that to be true in many cases. Not explored until Wyatt is the “Y-chromosomal Melchisedec.” The test of the “Messiah’s Blood” as Wyatt called it, was 24 Chomosomes: 23 from the maternal X and only the Y from the paternal side. That blood was tested to be neither human nor beast but supra-natural!
“Y-chromosomal Melchisedec” would be “Y-chromosomal Jesus”! Thus, since X and Y chromosomes identify gender, then the blood of angels, who are not endowed with gender in heaven would be YY-chromosomal just as I wrote in my book, The Origin of Man and the Universe.
God created man and identified him with exclusive DNA not in the other creatures. In the beginning the DNA of Adam and Eve may have been the same since Eve was of Adam. Soon, her XX and Lucifer’s YY may have mixed, if my theory is true, and the first inhumane man, Cain, resulted.
God came to Earth to make new creatures (2 Cor 5:17). The first step is rebirthing (John 3:7) them, changing their natures and preserving them with “pitch” (the Holy Ghost) when He atones them. When the general resurrection comes, then they shall be glorified and returned to the original state of Jesus in whose image Adam was made.
It seems that born again is the washing and covering on the outside, and glorification the renewed flesh with the new identity (DNA) suitable for Paradise.
