“Look how the ark of the covenant was treated. It was very well respected.”
The ark became an object of superstition during the time of Samuel and God allowed it to fall into the hands of the Philistines. After Solomon there is no mention of the ark for over 500 years and then it is brought out of obscurity during Josiah’s reformation. It is taken to Babylon during the exile of Judah and not heard from again until the anti-type is revealed in Revelation.
