8 Alleged Resting Places of the Ark of the Covenant

A description of the Ark to any would be finders ...

In Exodus (25:10-14,18-19) The Ark of the Covenant is Described as:

Frame an Ark of setim wood, the length whereof shall be of two cubits and a half: the breadth, a cubit and a half: the height, likewise, a cubit and a half. And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold within and without...And four golden rings, which thou shalt put at the four corners of the ark...Thou shalt make bars also of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold. And thou shalt put them in through the rings that are in the sides of the ark, that it may be carried on them... Thou shalt make also two cherubim's of beaten gold, on the two sides of the oracle. Let one cherub be on the one side, and the other on the other.

The Angels or Cherubs or Cherubim are described in Exodus 37:9 this way:

Spreading their wings, and covering the propitiatory, and looking one toward the other, and towards it.

Ref. http://www.arkcovenant.com/history.htm

"The Ark was to consist of a chest made of acacia wood two-and-one-half cubits long (about 45 inches), one-and-one-half cubits wide (about 27 inches), and one-and-one-half cubits in depth. This was to be overlaid inside and out with pure hammered gold. It was to function as the repository for the two Tablets of the Covenant (the Ten Commandments).

A cover, of the same length and width, was to be made for this chest, also of pure hammered gold, called the kapporet. 2 Joined to it were to be two winged figures of pure hammered gold, called cherubim. 3 Finally, four rings, cast in gold, were to be attached to the four corners of the chest, into which two gold-plated acacia wood poles of indeterminate length were to be inserted so that the entire object could be carried. A coronet of hammered gold was to embellish the tops of the four sides of the chest. The intent was that several men, at least four, would carry the Ark on their shoulders."

If found ... open with caution.

I think there is a possibility that priests knowing the temple was about to be captured, hid it somewhere. It probably will never be found.

Also possible that it ended up in in Ninevah or Babylobn and then was probably eventually captured by Alexander’s men or maybe destroyed for it’s precious metals soon after it was originally taken.

Also in the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem—in a hidden cave.

[InvisibleChurch]

It used to sit in Obed-Edom’s garage. It’s probably in another similar place hiding in plain sight.

[The Wizard]

An Ethiopian Orthodox Church

[Jonty30]

Why do you think the Muslims are excavating the Dome?

They want to find it and destroy it.

Here is what the Book of Macabees says:

2 Maccabees 1,2

4 These same records also tell us that Jeremiah, acting under divine guidance, commanded the Tent of the Lord’s Presence and the Covenant Box to follow him to the mountain where Moses had looked down on the land which God had promised our people. When Jeremiah got to the mountain, he found a huge cave and there he hid the Tent of the Lord’s Presence, the Covenant Box, and the altar of incense. Then he sealed up the entrance.

6 Some of Jeremiah’s friends tried to follow him and mark the way, but they could not find the cave. When Jeremiah learned what they had done, he reprimanded them saying, ‘No one must know about this place until God gathers his people together again and shows them mercy. At that time he will reveal where these things are hidden, and the dazzling light of his presence will be seen in the cloud, as it was in the time of Moses and on the occasion when Solomon prayed that the Temple might be dedicated in holy splendor.’

I fully expect someone to bring it into the shop one night on "Pawn Stars":

RICK: "What have you got there?"

CUSTOMER: "The Ark of the Covenant."

RICK: "Where did you get it?"

CUSTOMER: "I picked it up at a garage sale. My wife's been bugging me to get it out of the garage."

RICK: "Yeah, well, before I can make you an offer, I'll need to bring someone in to authenticate it.....Chumley! Get the Pope on the phone!"

[Errant]

That's my guess. Mickael Rood has an interesting theory concerning the location.

[Sirius Lee]

It was moved to the Island of St. Croix in the Caribbean by the Knights of Malta.

[Two Kids' Dad]

What if it’s not really hidden anywhere? What if... it’s just a piece of a story and never truly existed in a physical form? Isn’t that within the realm of possibility?

[Vermont Lt]

Top men are on this. Top men.

[Lmo56]

I don’t know where it is - but when they find it, Jimmy Hoffa’s body and Obama’s original birth certificate are right next to it ...

[sasportas]

Will you please cut to the chase and tell us...and save us having to listen all 11 video’s by this John the Baptist wannabe, or whatever he thinks he is?

[gop4lyf]

I don’t believe that God would have allowed it to be destroyed.

[Poison Pill]

The Mafia buried it under the Meadowlands.

[jjotto]

...associated with Jewish, Islamic, and Christian faiths...

Pretty bizarre claim given that it disappeared hundreds of years before Christianity and around a thousand years before Islam.

[Hardraade]

I would like to know how it became associated with “the islamic faith”. There’s simply no end to the garbage from these neanderthals.

[Hardraade]

Yeah well, I’m not gonna open it. Too heavy, sitting here between all the .22’s and the ten kiloton nuke. But now it will all have to be lost in a regrettable boating accident.

I’ll just cut a notch in the boat so I remember where it is...
