Love. God's 4 attributes are shown in the ark of the covenant. The Lid (mercy-seat) upon which all is based is justice. God's wisdom is shown by the shekinah light – (Exo. 25:22; Num. 7:89; Isa. 37:16.) Love and power are shown by the two angels looking down to the mercy-seat (justice) waiting for justice to be satisfied. In the temple these two cherubim are shown on the wall where they are in full flight. |
| (B) | What did Justice demand, and what did Love and Power provide? – Ex 21:23-24; Rom 3:10; Psa 49:7; John 3:16; 1 Tim 2:5-6; SS. Vol 5, Pages: 421, 470-472 | |

This is the exact same word used in Lev. 25:9 to describe "the jubilee" trumpet being sounded. This tells us then that "Blessed is the people who know the sound of the (antitypical) jubilee trumpet." – See Vol. 2 Study VI |
