Exodus 25:22 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.
This issue of commune begins with a coming together. No discourse, no agreement, no sharing can be accomplish without first determining a place to meet. Note that the place of meeting had everything to do with purpose. Some examples are the judgment gate, the customs table and courts of the congregation. There has been for millennium a clear understanding of how and where to come together to commune.
God the Father has identified His choice for communing with His creation. He will speak to us from above the mercy seat, between the two cherubims upon the Ark of the Covenant. Interestingly the Ark of the Covenant has been hidden from our sight for some three thousand years. Or has it?
Leviticus 16:14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.
Hebrews 2:8a,b Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him.
The two cherubims bowed down, showing submission, pointing their winds towards the mercy seat, indicating the created under submission to the sacrifice.
God has set the meeting place where He will commune with His creation. He pointed to the blood of the sacrifice, He put all under subjection to the One who made that sacrifice. That meeting place is in Christ.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Do you want to commune with your creator? Then you now know where to meet Him.
Beautiful! That’s why it’s not enough to say, “Where two or three are gathered together, there am I in the midst”. Those key words “in my name” must be there. Also, I love the KJV on this verse because of “in the midst” which puts Him in the center, not just ‘there with’.
Thanks dear brother.
Beautiful picture of our relationship!
One more thing that might interest you: the Spanish term for fellowship is “comunion”. Hmmmmm…
