Apples Of Gold in pictures of silver

‘He shall purify the sons of Levi,...that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.’Mal3:3
This verse is part of a prophesy and it brings sure enough a mystery wrapped in an enigma. Since Jesus came and offered his body as a sacrifice hasn’t he replaced the Old Covenant with the New?
For this reason many scholars have found the chapters 43-46 of Ezekiel very puzzling.
Let us consider who is the refiner and purifier of silver. Messiah is the refiner. I would like to point out the metal Silver is used with particular reference to the Children of Israel. Two trumpets in silver mentioned in Nu 10:10 can be seen as a forerunner of the gospel. More on this anon.
Whereas gold is especially used in conjunction with the Church. First of all let me strike a word of caution that the relative value of silver and gold is not of any relevance but merely as a prophetic tag.( It is somewhat like rhymes in poetry to aid the memory of the bards of yore, a literary device.) The nation of Israel and the Church are like two eyes set wide apart on a face, both called to work as one. Better still I shall refer to the title of this post from Proverbs ‘of a word fitly spoken being like apples of gold in pictures of silver.’( 25:11 ).
Old and New Covenants need to converge not as scattered light but as laser.
‘Law had made nothing perfect.’ (Heb7:19).
Jesus shall bring both Old and the New into one. In the light of the above I think Jesus as a High Priest must reveal exclusively for the nation of Israel. Ezekiel must be referring to this phase in the history of the Children of the Covenant, and of the seed of Abraham, in the chapters 43-46.
Law shall be perfected in Him (Heb:7:26-28). In terms of the nation of Israel. Amen.

Rev 21:15 ‘And he that talked with me had a golden reed..’ In the preceding verse we read of the foundations of the Holy Jerusalem being inscribed with the names of the twelve apostles. The significance of the Holy Jerusalem can only be revealed after Messiah ( who came as a Servant and was rejected by the nation of Israel) would supplant the temple worship of which the Law is its Holiest of the Holy. ‘I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the lamb are the temple of it(vs.22).’ The day of Pentecost was marked by outpouring of His Spirit and in the Book of Revelation we are told of a similar event where Holy Jerusalem shall descend out of heaven from God. In one we saw Grace at work and in the other we shall see Law in its perfect state. In one as St. Paul describes, the epistle of Christ being written in fleshly tablets of the heart.(2 Co 3:3) Here we see two strands of God’s mode of Redemption: for the Church and for the nation of Israel. Rather than entering into controversies should not the Church be built up according to what was revealed?
