Ark of the covenant! | |
Where is the ark of the covenant today? I believe it is in heaven right now based on Revelation 11:19 (KJV). It’s location is not mentioned after a certain point in the old testament. Revelation 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. (The ark of his testament is the same thing as ark of the covenant). Some will say that the ark is still here on earth based on the verses below. A possibility for sure. When I study the whole chapter of Hebrews 9 I believe it is not talking about the Ark of the Covenant. It talks about two different covenants, the first and the last, not about Arks; animal blood is used in the first and the blood of Christ in the last. Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. Hebrews 9:23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. Hebrews 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: All anyone can do is study their Bibles as completely as possible. Diligent study can and does result in gaining a better, more complete picture. Some very important verses and comments for all regardless of what you believe! A little food for thought: If you want to be free from the bondage of deception, (caused by listening to false teachers, those that are biblically illiterate, liars, those that preach “idle”, untrue words, etc.), learn the truth by studying the word of God completely as we are commanded to do; don’t be destroyed for lack of knowledge of God’s word. Another really good reason to study is you will not hear God’s word today where you should hear His word (in church). 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: (That famine for hearing the Word of the Lord is upon us now. People are starving for the truth in the Word. Sadly, fairy tales, false teachings, traditions and commandments of men, idle words, are all that are taught in most churches today. You can overcome the famine by actually studying the word of God yourself; what a concept). By studying the Bible yourself you will discover amazing things that, sadly, you will never hear while sitting in a church pew. How do you get people to come to your church? Read the following two verses. By actually teaching the word of God! Acts 13:43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. Acts 13:44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God. Sadly, according to Amos 8:11 above, you more than likely will not hear the word of God today in your church. Most churches today (2024+) are only Sunday social clubs. If you hear anything it will probably be the traditions and commandments of men which make void the word of God. “Right is right even when everyone is against it; wrong is wrong even when everyone is for it”.
