This sentence in the article really struck my heart as His Word says,
Jer 3:16 “And it shall be, when you have increased, and shall bear fruit in the land in those days,” declares יהוה, “that they no longer say, ‘The ark of the covenant of יהוה.’ Neither would it come to heart, nor would they remember it, nor would they visit it, nor would it be made again. 17 “At that time Yerushalayim shall be called the throne of יהוה, and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the Name of יהוה, to Yerushalayim, and no longer walk after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
According to His Word, the Ark represents Moschiach. Yeshua is the Moshiach, and since He is no longer concealed but has been revealed through His death and resurrection, it is only through Him, the Ark of the covenant of Elohim, that Israel will be regathered, healed and restored. This is the reason the Ark was never in the 2nd temple and the reason it no longer exists. We are to focus on Moshiach and follow the example of His faith & testimony rather than continuing to focus on an object made by the hands of men.
Shalom Alecheim!
“This is the reason the Ark was never in the 2nd temple and the reason it no longer exists”
This is completely erroneous according to Judaism. So we can agree to disagree. I guess, to be scriptural, one must find the text that talks of the destruction (G-d forbid) of the Ark. The premise here is that it is buried beneath the Temple Mount.
RDB— That is not in the Jewish canon...
