“‘And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding. And when you have multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, declares the LORD, they shall no more say, “The ark of the covenant of the LORD.” It shall not come to mind or be remembered or missed; it shall not be made again. --Jeremiah 3
Humans, filled with the Holy Spirit, and given knowledge and understanding become Living Arks as the laws of God are written in their hearts. HIS presence dwells in them forever! Why have need of a physical ark?
Now that quote from Jeremiah is new information to me, but I’m not a Biblical scholar by any stretch of the imagination.
Now we know why the Jews who know where the Ark is don’t resurrect it from its hiding place: though it was once an important part of the Jewish religion, it is now irrelevant.
Dang, I was sure hoping these knowledgeable fellows would bring it forward.
