RESTORING FATHER’S PATTERN THROUGH SCRIPTURE (Part 1)
THE HEART OF THE ARK
Abba Father wants us to be living Tabernacles to carry His glory – His very presence, in us. Everything in us must be submitted to be able to carry this glory of Him. To walk with His glory in us, means to lay everything down that is not of Him and doing everything His way. Is it doable? Yes. Is it easy? No… But if we want to stand in a Covenant relationship with Him and take this relationship seriously, then there will be sacrifices, there will be sanctification, pruning, pressing, testing and there will be laying down of the old self and a worldly, untrue believe system. Why? Because this is the reason why we were created, to stand in a Covenant Relationship with the only living God that created us and for Him to restore His Pattern through His Word.
BEING RESTORED BACK TO A COVENANT RELATIONSHIP
Abba Father gave instructions building the Tabernacle, starting with the Ark of the Covenant in Exodus 25. He didn’t start with the Outer Court; He started with the Holy of Holies because that is His Pattern to show us where we need to start if we want to walk in a Covenant relationship with Him. Father started with The Ark, because it is there where His presence dwells in. It is the “Heartbeat” of the whole Tabernacle. He didn’t start with the Outer Court; He started with the HEART (The Ark) of the Tabernacle.
We need to be restored back to the His Pattern in the Garden of Eden, back to the “speaking place” where we had communion with Him, eating from the Tree of Life, back to the HEART of Yahweh, back to a covenant relationship with Him as He attented from the start.
Father spoke directly with Adam and gave him all His instructions through His Spirit. They had a face-to-face relationship. The Holy of Holies are the place of LIFE and to be restored back to the Holy of Holies is to be back in Father’s presence where He wants to talk to us face-to-face where His glory dwells.
FATHER YAHWEH’S HOLY PATTERN
As Father gave instructions to build the Tabernacle, starting with the Ark, we must also take note that He wrote detailed Scriptures in many verses and chapters in His Word with specific measures, pieces, elements and detailed craftsmanship to successful execute His will in this process. So, if He wants to RESTORE us back to His attended Covenant Relationship with Him, we also need to be aware of these instructions and content of the Ark because there is a Holy Pattern in it.
The Ark of the Covenant contained a Golden pot of Manna, Aaron’s Almond, budding rod as well as the two stone tablets bearing the Ten Commandments (Hebrew 9:4). The two stone tablets represent Yahweh’s Law, while Aaron’s Almond, budding Rod represents new life with Judgement and the Golden Pot of Manna represent sufficient provision.
In a previous blog post I wrote an interesting revelation Father downloaded about the content of the Ark. To read it, please go to this link: https://mattaniahministries.co.za/2025/05/20/omer-count-day-38/
THE RESTORATION OF THE TABERNACLE THAT HAS FALLEN
There is a Scripture in Amos 9 that refers to the fallen Tabernacle of David and that Father will restore it in “THAT DAY” and ‘that day’ is NOW, in this season. He also reveals in the Amos 9 Scripture of who it is that He will restore in ‘that day’. We are currently in the “6th Biblical Day” (5995) approaching the 7th Day, which will be the Millenium, the Day of Rest (Shabbat), the 1000 years of Peace and rest.
There are many people in Christianity in this day we are living in that are busy rising up to be restored back to the original Pattern Father attended us to walk in. We as living Tabernacles are already in process to be restored and if you are reading this blog, you are part of it.
“In that day I will raise up the Sukkoth (Tabernacle) of David that has fallen, and I will wall up its breaks. And I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as the days of old; so that they may possess the REMNANT of Edom, and all the nations on whom My name is called.” (Amos 9:11-12)
We are in a season where Father is busy restoring His Tabernacle and He is starting within us, His living Tabernacles and He is pointing to His Covenant Relationship through the restoration process starting with the heart of the Tabernacle, The Ark. The main purpose of restoring the Tabernacle is to restore us back to HIM. He would not write so many words and chapters in the Bible regarding the Tabernacle if it was not important for Him. If Father says in His word HE WILL RESTORE the fallen ‘tent’ of David, then HE WILL!

THE NARROW WAY IS “HARD PRESSED”
The narrow way is ‘hard pressed’ that leads to LIFE and only a few will find and follow this way. For many are called, but few are chosen (Matt 22:14). To be able to be part of the this restored group, we need to go through sanctification and sanctification comes through obedience.
MANY AND A FEW
This is the essence of the rebellious group of our day and also the reason of the GREAT FALLING AWAY. They worship Him with their lips and not with their HEARTS (their Tabernacles has fallen).
In Matthew 7:22 we read about these disobedient ones: “MANY will say to Me in THAT DAY, Master, Master, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many works of power?” and in John 14:21 Yahshua Himself says: “He that has My commandments and keeps them, it is that one who loves Me; and the one that loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I shall love him and will reveal Myself to him.”
We need to realize, if Yahshua said in Matthew 7:22 about “MANY will say” then He means MANY and not a few. And if He said in Matthew 22:14 only a “FEW are chosen” then He means only A FEW and not many. On what side are you standing? With the many or with the few?
ONLY THE PENALTY HAS CHANGED
In the Ark was the LAW and in Jeremiah 31:33 Jeremiah the prophet wrote “Behold, the days come, says YAHWEH, that I will cut a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah (this is referring to the 2 sticks becoming one again in Ezekiel 37:15-23), not according to the covenant that I cut with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt (which covenant of Mine they broke, although I was to be a husband to them, says Yahweh). But this shall be the covenant that I will cut with the house of Israel: After those days, declares Yahweh. I will put MY TORAH in their inward parts, and I will write it on their HEARTS; and I will be their Elohim, and they will be My people.”
THE HEART OF THE ARK
This is YAHWEH making this Covenant Himself. It is a promise of the New Covenant BUT The Torah STAYS the same in the New Covenant, there is only a different priesthood (Melchizedek) and only the agreement about sin has changed through the blood of Messiah paying the penalty of sin, not the Commandments itself or the Torah has changed from the “old” to the “new”. The Commandments in the Torah and the stone tables with the 10 Commandments stayed exactly the same, nothing of that changed. That is what we still need to obey to be able to stand in a Covenant Relationship with Yahweh. The HEART OF THE ARK.
The Commandments and the Torah is now written on our hearts, and our hearts are the core of the Tabernacle, which is part of the pattern of Yahweh’s “Ark of the Covenant” through us as His living Tabernacles. It is where the Glory of Yahweh dwells, it is the very place of the essence of His presence in us. In order for His presence and His Glory to dwell in us, we need to be in an obedient position regarding His pattern through His Word and His Covenant Relationship with us that has fallen and what He is now busy restoring.
The time is now to raise up as a Restored Remnant and walk on the Ancient Path of Yahweh, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, our Heavenly Father and to be in a Covenant Relationship just as He ordained from the start. Embark in this journey with me as we discover how Father is restoring us for a season and a time like this.
Baruch Haba B’shem Yahweh! Blessed is He who comes in the name of Yahweh! (Matt 29:39)
Shalom,
