“5 ton refers to cooling capacity and not physical weight.”
My last house had a 4 ton unit...but it never looked that heavy. Thanks for the info!

Triumph
Titus and his soldiers celebrated victory upon their return to Rome by parading the Menorah and Table of the Bread of God’s Presence through the streets. Up until this parading, these items had only ever been seen by the High Priest of the Temple. This event was memorialized in the Arch of Titus.[50]
Some 700 Judean prisoners were paraded through the streets of Rome in chains during the triumph, among them Simon bar Giora and John of Giscala.[51][57] Simon bar Giora was executed by being thrown to his death from the Tarpeian Rock at the Temple of Jupiter after being judged a rebel and a traitor,[58] while John of Giscala was sentenced to life imprisonment.[59][60]
somewhere the loot is being paraded.....................
Further thought:
1) Why wasn’t the arc of the covenant paraded by the Romans?
2) There was another time these items were revealed to the public. Anyone know when?
“A 3 bedroom might have 3 ton unit.”
Our 3BR rancher is 3948 sq ft. We currently have one 5 ton unit and one 2.5 ton unit.
We’re going to replace the old 2.5 ton with a 5 ton when we can. But we are in Texas where it’s been over 100 almost every day since late June. The 2.5 ton unit just isn’t cutting it.
You know that is a bit strange. I could see forgiving them and not pressing charges if they returned it. But this? I don’t know does not smell right. I mean I can forgive but they still need held accountable.
It is built on the interpetation that you must for give.
The world likes that message.
But that is only a partial truth, note the second verse. Further reading in the Bible would refer to real repentance, not worldly sorrow which leads to death. Also note the word rebuke. But it does refer to another believer.
Luk 17:3 So watch yourselves! “If another believer sins, rebuke that person; then if there is repentance, forgive.
Luk 17:4 Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive.”
I always liked Mark Twain:
If a person commits a crime and doesn’t repent, what good did it do him? Someone else might just as well have committed the crime.
LOT of speculation and conjecture about that.
The church in Ethiopia claims to have the Ark, they keep it in a chapel where a guardian spends his entire life keeping watch over... something (the Ark or not). Before he dies he picks another man to be guardian.
It used to be that the Ark was brought out during festivals. Always covered, so that it could not be seen. There is a photograph from Fifties/Sixties that shows a black-covered object, about the size of a trunk, being hoisted aloft during a festival. Depending on who you believe, it's the only photograph known to exist of the Ark of the Covenant.
I wouldn’t rule that out.
That’s probably correct.
LOT of speculation and conjecture about that.
But what does God say on the matter?
(ESV) And when you have multiplied and been fruitful 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.
There was something new to focus on. The New Covenant.
But it didn’t go away. God tells us where it is.
My house in Mississippi is 2700 sq. ft. It’s got a 5 ton unit for the main part of the house and a 2.5 ton unit for the back two bedrooms and bath. In my area a 5 ton is a pretty standard size, it’s not really that big.
To be technically correct, 5 refrigeration tons is 60,000 BTU/hr.
Thieves have no respect, period.
As are all Dimocrats, as these perps most likely are.
Somehow, the Ark escaped the Babylonians and ended up in Tanis, Egypt, where it was discovered by Indiana Jones before being swiped by a some Nazis and a French archaeologist named Belloq. Eventually, it ended up in an American government warehouse, after being examined by some top men ... *top* men.
Or so I'm told.
the Holy of Holies in the Second Temple was empty.
2) Where is it? If you believe God:
Rev_11:19 Then, in heaven, the Temple of God was opened and the Ark of His covenant could be seen inside the Temple. Lightning flashed, thunder crashed and roared, and there was an earthquake and a terrible hailstorm.
Everybody knew already that the Ark was not in the Second Temple; it didn't need to be "revealed".
Then, in heaven, the Temple of God was opened and the Ark of His covenant could be seen inside the Temple
That's not the Ark of the Old Covenant, but the Ark of the New Covenant.
