Above the ark were the cherubim of the Glory
Exodus 25: 17-19 "Make an atonement cover of pure gold--two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. And make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. Make one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at the two ends."
overshadowing the atonement cover
Exodus 25:20-22 "The cherubim are to have their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover. Place the cover on top of the ark and put in the ark the tablets of the covenant law that I will give you. There, above the cover between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the covenant law, I will meet with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites."
Exodus 26:34 "Put the atonement cover on the ark of the covenant law in the Most Holy Place."

Or who has been his counselor?" (Isaiah 40:13) "Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?" (Job 41:11) For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be glory forever! Amen.

Luke 24:25-27 He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?" And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
Hebrews 5:8-9 Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered and once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him ...

GLORY Hebrews 2:5-9 Part 2 of 2
It is not to
angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are
speaking. But there is a place where someone has testified: "What is
mankind that you are mindful of them, a son of man that you care for
him? You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with
glory and honor and put everything under their feet." (Psalm 8:4-6) In
putting everything under them, God left nothing that is not subject to
them. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them. But we do
see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now
crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the
grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death
Acts 3:13 "The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go."
Philippians 2:7-11 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death--even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone

John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Colossians 1:17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
After he had provided purification for sins
Titus 2:14 ... who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
Hebrews 7:27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.
Hebrews 9:11-14 But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands, that is to say, is not a part of this creation. He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption. The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!

defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not
be held against them. But the Lord stood at my side and gave me
strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and
all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion's

GLORY 1 Timothy 1:9-11
We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers--and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.
We also know that the law is made not for the righteous
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
but for lawbreakers and rebels
Galatians 3:19 Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator.
and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine
1 Timothy 6:3-4a If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, they are conceited and understand nothing.
2 Timothy 1:13 What you have heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
