Interesting. We will see in August what happens.

[RandallFlagg]

Ummm, am I the only one wondering if our enemies will take any and all measures to prevent this from happening because of the ark's significance?

I hope Dr. Jones is careful.

[sgtbono2002]

If Geraldo isnt there for the opening its a non-event.

[csvset]

I recall reading that some people, ( back in the day), that opened the Ark were killed by some sort of blast or radiation.

According to Speilberg and Lucas, the character was named after a dog: http://www.answers.com/topic/indiana-jones

According to Vendyl jones, he was NOT the model for the character:http://www.vendyljones.org.il/FAQ.htm

I don't know. If he is allowed to find the Ark, there's still the matter of the Lord having stated that only those from the tribe of Levi could touch it. I would love to see the Ark but, somehow, I don't think the Lord's going to allow it to be found.

Don't know if you've seen this.

Jones has now received permission from both known and secret Kabbalists to finally uncover the lost ark.

How do you get permission from a secret Kabbalist? Who do you ask?

[Rodney King]

He says that applying biblical analysis to modern times points to major events that will “turn the world right-side-up.”

Gee, that's a tough prediction to make.

[Hebrews 11:6]

When Cyrus sent Ezra to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple, he sent along “the articles belonging to the temple of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem” (Ezra 1:7). The text enumerates them, but conspicuous by its absence, and indeed by any mention of it, was the Ark.

Ezra succeeded, but what was the point with no Ark? It contained the Law, and it was the central feature of the Temple. Ezra's actions in rebuilding the Temple without the ark, and never noting its absence, are bizarre.

The circumstances of Cyrus’ blessing of, and assistance in, the rebuilding of the Temple clearly are intended to be taken by us as being miraculous—only God could have produced such a reversal. Yet if God was superintending it, why did He not also include the Ark and its Covenant? Its absence screams for an explanation—but we are offered none.

A reasonable inference is that God is telling us to forget the Ark and look instead for a better Covenant. Four hundred fifty years later, He sent His Son to be that New Covenant.

Interesting quest but my BS filter has been cleaned and reinforced.

"An unnamed Kabbalist has granted blessing to famed archeologist Dr. Vendyl Jones to uncover the Holy Ark of the Covenant."

Madonna, was that you?

[bigsigh]

I know the ark is in Ethiopia. The Discovery Channel sed so.

Chicken Little Ping

[rwfromkansas]

Dang, how exciting. Tunnels under the city of Jerusalem to the Dead Sea (that is a LONG ways, btw)? I wish I got to see that on my trip to Israel. I am so jealous....

[don-o]

I saw Jones years ago when he gave some talks at the Baptist church in East Tennessee that he once pastored. Was on his mailing list for a time.

Bump for later read.

[hripka]

This guy claims he found the Ark of the Covenant already

"Now´s the Time to Find Holy Lost Ark (Ark of the Covenant possibly located)"

It's in a warehouse next to the flying saucer we recovered at Roswell.

What I really want to find is the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch...
