  • I believe the Ark does exist but it will be revealed in God's own time not human.

    1:40 "Fanatical Jews and Christians attempting to rid the mount of its Muslim presence" Didn't have to wait long...thanks for saving me an hour.
  • Hopefully, the Ark will never be found. No human being should have that kind of power.
  • Uzzi didn't have a weak heart! The Lord instructed them not to touch the ark, I'm sure in that moment when the ark was falling off the cart, uzzi reached out to keep it from falling into the earth, but it would of been better to fall into the earth, then a man's defiled hands touching it! When God says not to do something don't do it!!

    Funny that most "scholars" think that the Temple Mount was the location of the original Temple. That would require that the massive fortifications comprising the platform base was constructed by the early inhabitants of the city. This structure was built by the Romans to house the Roman fort during the Roman occupation. The location of the original Temple is located at a lower elevation - The Bible gives clues as to the location, which is now being excavated. The Temple needed to be close to a source of water for holy rituals. There is no water available on the "Temple Mount".
  • It's not ark that's important IT'S THE COVENANT it's where Jews set the world on a course with GOD that others have tried to claim just to get close to GOD. REMEMBER IT WAS THE JEWS THAT FIRST SHARED GOD WITH THE HUMAN RACE
  • The ark never had tablets inside. It had arrons rod, a pot of manna and the book of the law. Research these contents and you will understand the arks power and knowledge. If you read more books apart from the bible as your research you would find what you are looking for.
  • The ark of the covenant is the ultimate free energy device which inspired Nikolai Tesla and his research. The ark could draw powerful energy from all 12 of the known dimensions and alternate universes. It could also create gravity waves and black holes! It is the ultimate weapon and symbol of ultimate power! Imagine a government that had the power to open a black hole and send another country’s entire nuclear arsenal and military power into another dimension through a portal or black hole!
  • Jerusalem should be declared a closed city. Not a part of Israel and populated only by clerics of all the faiths that consider the city Holy. An Ecumenical city where peace and civility reign.
  • I do not believe the Ark of The Covenant ever existed, then or now. We have only ancient myths, transcriptions of verbal stories if any are in writing, to say that the Ark of The Covenant existed in the first place, much less with golden seraphim, etc. Until it is "found", (and what is to prevent some evil entity from counterfeiting it), I will continue to disbelieve. So this is (for me) a total waste of time and effort. Thumbz Down. Goodbye.

    It’s funny the father of Jews is Abraham but they don’t eat ham. Should have called him Neverham when they made up this whole story
