Right.
These are all warning signs of a sham.
I hesitated to call it such in my previous post, because I don’t have any reason to disparage this site other than how fish/shady it seems on it’s face. But... if you were going to claim you have the ark when you didn’t, but you still wanted to generate interest/donations/pilgrimages, then this exact scenario is what you would need to employ. Guard it from prying eyes and anyone’s ability to research it’s authenticity.
Biblical king Manasseh hid the Ark in Manassas (Virginia) where it remains to this day.
I understand the fascination with religious artifacts. As believers we would love to see verification of our faith, proof to the body of unbelievers. But these artifacts were simply tools used by God to speak to use. The power of God is infinite, more so than any of use could ever understand. I remember the Indiana Jones Crusade movie, a search for the vessel that would give Donovan eternal life in this Word. I felt like yelling at the screen: you can have eternal life in a much better World. Simply believe.
I heard that claim 25 years ago.
LOL !!!....Well played
The debate over where the Ark is was put to rest back in 1982.
Post trib?
“Reasonable. Even if it WAS in Ethiopia, do you think Israel wouldn’t have pulled an “Entebbe” years ago and brought it back to Jerusalem?”
Doubtful.
For one, a pagan shrine sits on the Temple mount.
For two, much of Israel does not want the Temple (secularists) or does not consider the rebuilding of the Temple to be appropriate without the Mosiach (a plurality of Orthodox).
For three, there are rather extreme rules and regulations regarding transport of the Ark. Ask poor Uzzah, who meant well.
Who watches the Ark when the monk has to go to the bathroom?
That’s because there isn’t one. Christ rendered the Ark irrelevant.
This article renders itself irrelevant. What a bunch of drivel. It’s just the same old stuff we’ve heard/read many times before, repackaged as click-bait.
Now, maybe I’ll believe it when they ship Geraldo over there and he opens the ark to find an empty soda bottle and some spoiled manna, or his face melts. Or something like that.
Meanwhile, it’s just same junk, different day.
Well there will be a temple during the Tribulation, so it’s coming.
I had the same thought as you, Christ being the living Ark and first born ensample of what all God’s children will be someday all of us “living arks indwelt with God’s living Spirit and Shekinah glory!!!”...rendering such a physical Ark moot(but not necessarily unimportant and certainly not to be scorned or mocked!. For the Ark was a shadow of the coming Christ and of the incorruptible bodies his children will be resurrected into!
Peace to you and Merry Christmas!
I have one I’ll sell you. Order now and I’ll send you a second one free!
That explains the battle of Manassas in 1861. If the Union forces had won the battle and captured the Ark, the war would have been over three months after it started.
Yeah, I have no idea what that is. Nor care.
Rut-Roh!!
It’s just another variable that doesn’t need altering.
According to the following verse, the ark is in heaven.
Revelation 11:19, “Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.”
