II Corinthians 4:5-7
"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

"...I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be My people." Jeremiah 31:33
Did not God inscribe THE LAW on two sheets of stone? The Record tells us so. What should be done with them? To be placed INSIDE a very especially prepared "Ark"; while the said Ark was to be Inlaid and OVERlaid with pure gold! After that, WHAT was to be done with the Ark? To be placed Inside the HOLY[iest] which was a cube in Ten.
The "law" is not for a constabulary to ENFORCE: the Law is to be INSCRIBED in man's innermost (usually rendered "the heart").
The first 3 declared ONE Lord and His preeminence.
4: Cyclic REST for self and household meditation in the Law.
5: Instructions-in-righteousness unto children.
6: Declaration of the RIGHT TO LIFE for all.
7: Marriage fidelity; the wife not to be cast off.
8: Others have the right to enjoy that for which they have toiled.
9: Your neighbor is never to be conspired against.
10: Yearn not for anything for which you have not labored.
When the substance of all that is ALIVE IN YOUR HEART, YOU will shed forth daily a portion of His GLORY.
But WHAT did the symbolism tell us when the Ark entered the Holiest? You have been shown that the Ark's volume when in the cube of Ten became the square of the sacrificial Altar's volume; the exponent of which became Jesus of Nazareth: the Christ(ed One) of God the Father. He "set His face like a flint" (Isa. 50:7) to sacrifice Himself FOR THE GOOD OF OTHERS! When THUS the Law LIVES IN YOUR HEART, you are "shining" unto others. And what is even more: YOU know a JOY deep within which "no one can take away from you" (Jn. 16:22). THEN is the Christ GLORIFIED in you....
