Where Is the Ark of the Covenant?

Last month, if you were visiting Adis Ababa in Ethiopia, you would have witnessed an astonishing sight.

Every January, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church celebrates a festival called Timkat, during which their senior priests parade through the streets of Ethiopia’s capital. They carry a replica of the Ark of the Covenant, as onlookers drop to their knees in reverence.

This obscure branch of Christianity has approximately 50 million adherents, most of whom live in Ethiopia. Aside for this sect’s curious affinity to the Hebrew Scriptures and Jewish practices — evident in their observance of kosher laws, separation of the sexes in their churches, and the treatment of Saturday as Sabbath rather than Sunday — they also make the extraordinary claim that the Ark of the Covenant, Judaism’s most revered object, is in their possession — and has been for almost 3,000 years.

I dont know much about "The Algemeiner" but this seems like an interesting read.
The Algemeiner- "The fastest growing Jewish newspaper in America, the NEW Algemeiner serves as a valiant media voice addressing the most compelling issues of our time, with vision, integrity and moral clarity."

I’ve probably seen most Ark-related vid on Youtube. That church in Ethiopia claims to have it and that only one “pure” dude is allowed to guard/touch it.

I think the Ark is in Heaven, with God, as mentioned by John in Revelation.

Revelation 11:19

“And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his covenant: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.”

It’s not buried on Oak Island?

Gone the Heaven

Exekiel 10
1 And I looked, and there in the firmamenta that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared something like a sapphire stone, having the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
2 Then He spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, “Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, fill your hands with coals of fire from among the cherubim, and †scatter them over the city.” And he went in as I watched. 3Now the cherubim were standing on the bsouth side of the ctemple when the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner court.
4 Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and paused over the threshold of the dtemple; and †the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD’s glory.
5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like †the voice of Almighty God when He speaks.

It shows up here at the end:

Revelation 15
5 After these things I looked, and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened.
6 And out of the temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, clothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands.

I have it but I am not going to show you.

I think “Raiders Of The Lost Ark” finally established the last known location of the Ark.

Given the US Govt’s record keeping, it’s probably still sitting there in a crate marked “Maps Of Formosa: 1600-1710”.

The earthly one was built as a replica to the Heavenly one.

What does the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church have in common with Bill Clinton?

Ark inside.

[beebuster2000]

also interesting is what is in the Ark.

containing the two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. According to various texts within the Hebrew Bible, it also contained Aaron’s rod and a pot of manna.[1]

Aaron’s Rod is pretty interesting and worth reading about.

Glad you posted that. Saved me the effort.

Most likely in Ireland, somewhere in the Hill of Tara area. Jeremiah 3:16 indicates a time in the future when people were talking about “the ark of the covenant of the Lord” and then would not do it anymore.

The ark shown in Revelation is the ark of the new covenant, the everlasting one; and the first ark depicts the heavenly mercy seat anyhow. The first covenant went out of force first with the divorce of God from Israel, and then finally the new covenant could be made following the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Do not open it, FRiend.

You know what I never understood about that movie? We have this long adventure and journey to find the ark, but Indy told Marion to not look at it, they had to keep their eyes shut. How did Indy expect to open and study the ark himself, if you experience death of you look at it??

[NorthMountain]

It’s in a giant, underground, US Government warehouse, being researched by “Top Men”.

Ark of the Covenant is going to be buried along with the Bezos 10000 year clock.

Possibly one of the best endings to a movie.
