CHAPTER ELEVEN
The Ark of the Covenant in the King's Chamber is on the Center of the North – South center line. (see Figure 25) This brings mankind back from error—the displacement factor—to the Kingdom of God on earth as prophesied by Jesus, in what is called the LORD'S prayer. This Covenant of Baha'u'llah is symbolically placed in the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies. This Covenant of Baha'u'llah, when followed, will bring peace to the world. Baha'u'llah, the second Messiah (a descendant of David seated on the throne of David), provided in His Covenant for this lineage from David (seated on the throne to exist forever) to be the president or head of the Universal House of Justice, distinguishing the true House of Justice from all false ones. The Covenant-breaking "Hands" threw out the Executive Branch of the House of Justice, making it a Headless Monster. This violation of the Covenant happened because nobody in this world understood the Covenant. Shoghi Effendi said he didn't understand the Covenant,[23] but indicated that one would come that would be the only one who understood the Covenant. That is because absolutely no one except the High Priest can enter into the Holy of Holies where the Covenant is situated in the Ark of the Covenant, as it was with Moses. Moses' Temple was a microcosm of the macrocosm, that is, his Temple was one that was built by hands which was but a symbol of the true one not built by hands. As only Aaron the High Priest alone was allowed to go into the Holy of Holies, and as this priesthood came to an end about a century or so after the crucifixion of Jesus, God has sent his Son, Jesus the High Priest after the Order of Melchizedec, to reestablish back into the Baha'i faith what the Covenant-breakers threw out.
