- Mom2GIQM, on 05/11/2008, -2/+9Archeology...especially Biblical....is definitely more fun than a soap opera. Full of twists and turns and surprises and disappointments. I'd like to be out there, but like Indy...I hate snakes.
- keltin, on 05/11/2008, -1/+3Don't worry, Mom (by the way, Happy Mother's Day!), the legless lizards are usually prone to keep away, except for a couple who can be more aggressive. A couple of vipers and cobras are the most common poisonous variety.
The kids in the Holy Land are taught not to turn over rocks and put body parts into crevices. Good ideas for anyplace there are the poisonous snakes...or spideys for that matter.

- KCLorelei39, on 05/11/2008, -1/+5Biblical archeology is a lot of fun to study. My daughter wants to be a Biblical archeologist (this year, anyway, lol)
- snirt, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2I think it was on the history channel, they showed a small building in Ethiopia guarded by a single man. This man clammed the Ark of the Covenant was in the building but wouldn't let anyone see it. It was supposedly smuggled out of Israel and has been there for safe keeping for centuries.
- wswyatt, on 05/11/2008, -3/+2I guess no one has read Revelation 11:10 which states "And the Temple of God was opened in heaven (read it HEAVEN) and there was seen in HIS Temple the ark of His testament (covenant) -- why is it that people would believe that this is still here on earth??????? Well duh>??
- spinningplates2, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1You are say the Ark is in Heaven? I thought that on Earth God used "types" to show what was better and "Real" in Heaven. I think you might have too much Jack Van Impe on board.
- wswyatt, on 05/13/2008, -0/+0I GUESS YOU JUST DID NOT READ WHAT REVELATION SAID. THIS IS IN HEAVEN--HE WAS SHOWING THIS TO JOHN IN THE VISION--OF WHAT THE LORD'S DAY WILL BE LIKE. AND NO JACK VAN IMPE HERE.
- shanson13, on 05/12/2008, -1/+5I think that the earthly ark of the covenant was a representation, just like the temple was a representation of the perfect temple of God in heaven. Of course...we'll know soon enough won't we :) Come soon Lord Jesus!
- kirralin23, on 05/12/2008, -1/+3This is supposed to be an alter used for the ark, not the ark itself.

- gscc, on 05/12/2008, -0/+2The Ethiopian claim to possess the Ark of the Covenant is indeed intriguing. The Falashas or Ethiopian Jews practiced First Temple Ritual dating to the time of Solomon. Ethiopian Jews are strictly observant in pre-Talmudic Jewish traditions. They seemed to have be lost in a time warp.
The last historical mention of the Ark in Scripture is in Second Chronicles chapter 35, where King Josiah (who reigned in Judah c. 640-609 BC) asked the Levites to return the Ark to the Temple where Solomon had originally housed it after completing and dedicating the Temple sometime in the 10th century BC (Second Chronicles, chapter 5). There is no mention as to why the Levites had removed the Ark in the first place, nor is there any indication as to whether or not the Levites acquiesced to King Josiah's request.
At about this same time there was built a Jewish Temple on Elephantine Island in Egypt, later to be destroyed by the locals. Was the Ark taken by the Levites to Elephantine and later to Ethiopia after the Temple was destroyed on Elephantine? - Yahsway, on 05/12/2008, -1/+0This is exactly what the Rastafarian religion teaches. Is there some ganja going around?
- gscc, on 05/12/2008, -0/+2This has nothing to do with the Rastafarian - they venerate Haile Selassie.
- GWBARNHOUSE, on 05/12/2008, -2/+3Hold all things to be a mystery until God reveals them in plain daylight. It will be so plain that there will be no argument.
- Continuum, on 05/12/2008, -0/+4Buried as Incorrect. Everyone knows that the Ark is here: http://i31.tinypic.com/2yl1suc.jpg
- Talastan, on 05/13/2008, -0/+0My question is with the prophecy of the Third Temple being built, what are the chances that they'd find the ark? Afterall, wouldn't the Jews need the Ark to complete the temple and its sacraments? You can't atone for your sins without the mercy seat to spill the blood of the sacrifice on....
- barnettoo, on 05/14/2008, -0/+0reliable sources place the ark in the temple mount ready to emerge as as soon as the last soul-dove flies and the Toledo sephardfic
remnant joins in with other yeshua followers. the high priest garments and the redheifer powder and the other implements are ready
