Apparently acacia wood does have some psychoactive properties if procured in the right way. Try it at your own risk, that's all I'm saying. But it's just an interesting idea that acacia wood is so ancient and has been around for such a long time and possibly... could get you blasted out of this world. Some people have put those two things together.

Not what I'm doing today, but I just wanted to point that out. So, yeah, Chris is pulling it up right here. Acacias known to contain psychoactive alkaloids. Oh, yeah, I guess perhaps not all acacias. I don't know what this one was built with, but regardless, you take some of this, dude, you're going to be seeing God, my boy. Right, Chris? Sure.

So they take acacia wood, they make this box, line it with gold inside and out, and the Ark was topped with a lid that they called the Mercy Seat. This features two golden angels, cherubim technically, and they're facing each other with the wings outstretched, forming a space believed to be the earthly throne of God. Mythbusters actually tested this.

Moses goes up on the mountain, comes down with the Ten Commandments. Pretty sure he shattered them. He got a second one because he was pissed off they were worshiping a false god. Additionally, in the Ark of the Covenant, you have the golden jar of manna. What is manna? It is this food, perhaps a bread that fell from the heavens and nourished the Israelites on their journey in the desert.

That is what Christ says. I am not here to fulfill the law. I am the law myself. He is the new 10 commandments. And then of course, he is the bread of life that nurtures all of his people.
