Finding Messiah in Triennial Avoyamaim
And they departed from the mount of YHVH three days’ journey; and the ark of the covenant of YHVH went before them for the three days’ journey, to search out a resting place for them. Num 10:33
Three is a sign of Messiah in Torah, which we have seen numerous times before. The ark of the covenant of YHVH contained the tablets of stone, the Law of God, covered by the mercy seat. It is Messiah who is the Word of God made flesh (Joh 1:1, 14). Yes, even the Law of God is Messiah, as His Law is also His Word. But His Law, His Word, is always covered by mercy—is that not the Gospel?
The ark of the covenant—Law covered by Mercy—goes on a three days’ journey to search out a place of rest for Israel. On the third day, Messiah, the Word (Law) which put on flesh, full of grace and truth (Mercy) was raised to life in triumph over hell, death, and all the power of the devil, and in Him Israel finds her place of rest.
