It looks like God treated it with reverence, because the last time it was seen, it was in heaven.
Revelation 11:19
Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant could be seen in the temple.
We will just have to agree to disagree. (won’t be the first time) But know that I respect you very much, enjoy your witness on the board and try to read every thing you post. I don’t want to hijack this thread and certainly don’t want to turn it into a Catholic/Protestant food fight. Unfortunately, FR has been plagued by way too much of that in the past. As a peace offering I would serve up a link to the entire 1977 “Jesus of Nazareth” mini series on youtube. If you haven’t seen this it is awesome - an A-list cast and a magical production. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruLjkt-5Kao
