2Ch 5:7-8 | MHM | STEP | v. 7–9 : The Ark was set in its place, and the writer says, “There they are unto this day” (2 Chronicles 5:9 ). This means the Ark and the cherubim stayed in the temple for a long time. The Ark was a symbol of Christ and a sign that God was with his people. Jesus promised, “I am with you always, even unto the end of the world” (Matthew 28:20 ). If we trust in this promise, we can be sure of God’s presence when we gather to worship.
