The Arc of the Covenant
The Covenant of god, the promise of god, is expressed quite clearly in Jeremiah 31 (it’s worth reading the whole passage here) where the bible speaks about bringing people back from captivity (31:23), rewarding them for their hard work and suffering (31:16), forgiving their sins (31:24) and not forgetting them. The promise is for a path back to Shambhala (31:8-9) or Eden on earth (31:38).
Historically, this promise has been enshrined most often in a fashion similar to the image at the right, with angels and stylized sun as ubiquitous motifs. This is the arc of the covenant, a powerful visual representation of god’s promise to all those who have incarnated on this earth and sacrificed in order to accomplish the divine plan. When the job is completed, a path will be provided out of darkness and back into The Garden where you have god’s promise that “The city (e.g., the Garden) will never again be uprooted or demolished. (Jeremiah 21: 38).
The covenant is visually represented in the Halo/Sharp tarot in the key card The Promise. Notice the facing angels, the sun motif, and the Eden like backdrop. This is The Promise fulfilled. This is the realization of the divine plan (see The Universe key) and the return, via the provided path, to The Garden. Rejoice for the time is at hand.
