Yes it most definitely is. One of those rare glimpes we get into the scope of God's ability to bring His plan to fruition.

Isaiah 46:9-10, "Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure."

I didn't think any of the other postings had mentioned this last little bit. You would think it would be a bigger deal that this was making a tour through American public schools

Yea, I agree. I had no idea although, it comes as no surprise.

Thanks - I'm a relative newcomer to Christ and just finished my first time through the Bible (literally read the last of Revelation this morning and put my marker back on the first page of Genesis) so there is much for me to learn. I remembered that God gave explicit plans for how everything was to go in the desert and how He gave them the skills they would need to complete His plans for building the temples, but missed the reference to the tabernacle and the earthly one being a shadow of the Heavenly one.

God Bless

It is in Ethiopia, and has been used in times of war by the Ethiopians to defend the nation, just as in the Old Testament, which is why Ethiopia was the only African land never to be colonized. Whatever is or is not in Israel is undoubtedly a knock-off.

When they do find it, they will have to find the TRUE descendants of the Levities

Not at all difficult. How many Jews surnamed Levy, Levi, Levine, etc. do you know?

In the second oldest mosque in the world, located in Damascus is a sarcophagus which the Muslims believe contains the head of John the Baptist.

It isn't a Mosque. Its the Muslim occupied Catholic Basilica of St. John the Baptist.

Very cool. I must admit I've been a believer for many years and have never read the Bible straight through. Started several times, but always got distracted and fell back on topical study or something else.

A recommendation, if it interests you at all - The Complete Jewish Bible by David H Stern - great for Jewish perspective and context, as well as plain speech, which helps with KJV language difficulties that can sometimes muddy doctrinal concepts, imo.

Ohmigod! This is spiraling out of control quickly.

Called the Ark of Hope, the replica carries, among other things, the Earth Charter, a replacement for the Ten Commandments as advocated by former Soviet Union President Mikhail Gorbachev and Kofi Annan right hand man, Maurice Strong.

Is it just me, or is there something truly, revoltingly evil about these people and this whole "idea"?

I'm not the worlds strongest believer, but this smacks of great evil and mockery.

Some history on the Ark...

Around about the obscure period in Jewish history, i.e. circa 1150 bce (after the death of Joshua), there was internecine warfare among the tribes. On one occasion Benjamin was almost annihilated, as a result of a lawless incident which had taken place within the boundaries of the fledgling Israel. An attempt was even made by Abimelech, son of Gideon, to set up a monarchy, with it's capital at Schechem. But the national center of the country was Shiloh, where the national Palladium, the "Ark of the Lord" had found its home, and where the religious worship of the people had its focus.

P.S. The Messiah according to Jewish law must be a descendant on his father's side from King David via the Solomon line.

The Prince of Lies is extremely clever. He loves nothing more than to confuse people.

On April 18, 2005, following the death of Pope JPII, (then) Cardinal Ratzinger said the pre-Conclave Mass and delivered a stunning homily. In it, he says:

"How many winds of doctrine have we known in recent decades, how many ideological currents, how many ways of thinking. The small boat of the thought of many Christians has often been tossed about by these waves - flung from one extreme to another: from Marxism to liberalism, even to libertinism; from collectivism to radical individualism; from atheism to a vague religious mysticism; from agnosticism to syncretism and so forth. Every day new sects spring up, and what St Paul says about human deception and the trickery that strives to entice people into error (cf. Eph 4: 14) comes true."

FULL TEXT of his homily.

Thanks for the info on the Jewish Bible, but I have my hands full absorbing the Holy Bible. I use the NIV as it uses plainer English than a lot of others. My wife has a Living Bible that really rocks as far as being conversational in style. Perhaps some day, when I feel comfortable with the context of the Bible I'll find time and interest to study perspectives that might not be fully Christian in content (of course I'm only assuming that the Jewish Bible might stick with Old testament doctrine andgo into the rituals and meanings).

God Bless

I should have mentioned this - it's the whole Christian Bible, translated by a Messianic Jew. :)

Doctrine is the same, just translated from Hebrew, with Hebrew names intact and from a more Jewish perspective.

Once you start studying the Bible, you will learn and find out, that the OLD TEST is a " FORE SHADDOW " of Jesus Christ.
One of the well know examples of a fore shadow is the spottless LAMB.

Thanks - that makes it more likely I will look it up to get a broader understanding.

Thanks for bringing it up - I am fortunate to have some good teachers in my churchand they told me to look for such things. I was amazed to find allusions to the Savior even in Genesis and loved it when the prophets described the coming of the New Covenant (Jeremiah is one of my favorites for this).

God Bless
