The ark on earth that Moses had built was a copy of the one in heaven.
The earthly tabernacle was a model or replica of the divine one in heaven.
Exodus 25:9; Hebrews 8:1-5

Now that makes more sense. Amen. Although I do not believe the true ark in Heaven is a physical gold box. The ark is actually a symbol of God's throne. Isaiah saw the seraphims over atop the throne of God, just like cherubims cover the ark of the Covenant on earth. When John saw Heaven in Revelation 4, the same order of the throne, the seats, the 7 lamps and the sea with four beasts is the exact same order as when Moses was told to make the ark, the table of shewbread, the 7 branched candlestick and the veil with cherubims. The ark corresponds to the throne of God.

Hey, you do realize I said that before Sam did? Don't I get some points too?

I think what I find compelling is that the ark mentioned in Revelation 11:19 isn't called, "the ark of God" or "ark of Heaven". It is the "ark of the testament" (or covenant). A covenant is established by at least two parties. If something is relating to that covenant it was present at the establishment of said covenant. That being said, I believe that the ark mentioned in Revelation 11:19 actually contains the Law of Moses that was present at the time of the covenant between God and Israel making it the ark we are so familiar with.

I think this is a sound position because too many Christians have made themselves look like idiots with outlandish claims and speculations regarding the ark. Also futurists salivate over the idea of finding the ark, because the soon appearance of a rebuilt temple is the implication. They are trying to use headlines and snippets from tabloids to support their theology. But if you guys want to go on speculating with them every year about "ark this" or "ark that"... be my guest.

I've known about this discovery for a long time. Actually, I was the original discoverer but it was stolen from me. Is it the original ark? I'm not telling at this point.
