The Ark Returns to Zion

David danced before the returning Ark of the Covenant. He exulted. In the Psalm 24 he sings his exultation, commanding even the gates of the city to join him.

Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in.

Who is the King of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty, the LORD, mighty in battle.

Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in.

Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah

Paul joins the celebration. The Spirit of God no longer rests on the Ark of the Covenant, but in the hearts of his saints. Even before David danced before the ark, God had predestined us to open our hearts to His son, strong and mighty.
