Very interes....Hey, Wait a minute. How can this be?
What about all those preachers and others that said it was below the old temple in a tunnel behind the closed door?
What's up with that? Is there two of them? Hmmm?
I have even heard of prophecies concerning it being below at the end of the tunnel behind the closed door. Now it is in Ethiopia! I am so confused now. Who do I believe? :)

When Jesus came to earth, (the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we (his disciples) beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten of
the Father, full of grace and truth. Jesus became the temple that housed
the dwelling place of God (Father, Spirit). John saw the ark of the covenant
in heaven. Where is the Son. Where is the dwelling place of God (Spirit)
today! In those who are the sons of God, even to those who believe on
His Name! God (Father, Spirit, Deity) no longer dwells in temples made
by men's hands.
Where was God's Glory seen when Jesus walked on earth? In the face of
Jesus Christ.
2 Cor.4:6,7:
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in
our hearts,to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face
of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the
power may be of God, and not of us.
God was glorified in the Son and the Son was glorified in the Father. The
Bible speaks of "when He comes to be glorifed in His saints. Who is that!
Take a guess!!! Where is His Glory revealed today. In the faces of His saints.
He dwells in the praises of His people. His sons and daughters. Many things
have not been fully revealed but are being revealed.

Last night I preached about the "tabernacle of David" and the fact that when David first brought the Ark to Jerusalem that he put it under a tent. Amos prophesied that in the last days the tent of David would be raised up for the "gentiles" to come in. In Acts 15 James said that this prophesy was fulfulled on the day that the Gentiles first received the HG. The "house" that WE WORSHIP IN is the tabernalce of David. The order of the house is praise and worship. In our day the ark is not in a building or not literal but in the bride. So I really do understand about the spiritual meaning of the ARK.
But I really do not understand how people can make statements like the ark is not important at all. If this "unveiling" is a fake....Do you not see the prophetic? And the fact that God moves in signs? And when the revelation temple was opened (Rev. 11:19) why was the ARK the first thing that was seen? Because it has importance to us, even in the new covenent.

The theory of Ethiopia is that Solomon fatherd a son through Sheba, and she was from Ethiopia. This son grew and came to Jerusalem, and saw the backsliding of Solomon, and knew God would judge. Meanwhile, Solomon allegedly made a replica of the ark for his son to take with him to Ethiopia and worship God there with it. But when the son saw the backsliding of Solomon, he switched the arks and took the real one to Ethiopia, and the fake one was left for the enemy to plunder and steal. Hence, the true ark is supposed to be in Ethiopia.

Yes. The Ark was translated from this world to what we call "Heaven". It's not referred to as the "Ark of God", it's the "ark of his testament" or "ark of his covenant". This means it contains the actual Covenantal Law.

It is amazing what people can accomplish when they believe it to be the truth. Just ask Babylon.
And... if it does get built it will be announced in many a oneness church and people will speak in tongues over the announcement and tell of how the spirit moved.

According to a UPC position paper on preterism, chapters 4 and up of the Book of Revelation are still future. Chapter 11 of Revelation speaks of a temple. 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 4 speaks of a person, whom many consider to be the antichrist, sitting in the temple proclaiming himself to be God. Some futurists take these verses to mean that there will be a temple rebuilt by the Jews in the future. This just happens to be the belief of some Apostolics on this forum. They take that "temple" to be literal.

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.

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. ;)

Did not the Ark represent the Presence of God. But today, if we have His Spirit/
Presence inside our hearts/minds, do not we represent His Presence! We carry
His Presence in/with us everywhere we go. Jesus told His disciples he was WITH
them but would be IN them. His physical presence was removed to make room for
His Spirit (Presence)to be IN us. Christ in us, the HOPE of GLORY!
Perhaps we need to stir up the gift that is within us, IF indeed the Spirit dwell in
us. I commune and talk with HIM everyday, off and on all day. I make it a POINT
to stay close to HIM and make sure I do not get very far away from HIM. I do not
say that in a prideful way, but as a statement of fact.
I wonder if it isn't difficult for many to really identify with something or someone
they cannot see. HE should be INSIDE us. A VITAL part of us, just as our vital
organs are so necessary. But out of sight. INSIDE!
Jesus fulfilled the Law (OT). HE represented GOD'S PRESENCE in the earth. He was
the ARK (GOD WITH US), but we NOW represent GOD's PRESENCE in the earth. WE
carry His PRESENCE IN US. OR SHOULD BE, if we claim to have His Spirit in us. GOD
said HE would pour out HIS SPIRIT upon all flesh. His sons and daughters would
carry HIS Spirit within their bosoms. So we can become Salt and Light!
So many focus on natural Jerusalem. Natural Israel. The "Holy" Land, etc. You cannot
see the things which are eternal. We will NOT SEE the "Spiritual" things of GOD with
natural eyes. They MUST be seen through the eyes of the Spirt. The things of the Spirit
are BY FAITH in GOD's Word. Faith is NOT what we see, but what we hold on to (by faith)
until that which we do NOT see, we DO see.
Abraham couldn't see Isaac, because Ishmael seemed a lot easier to comprehend.
Another mother, not Sarah, seemed the only way possible. Nicodemus couldn't see
the second birth because he was comparing it with the physical birth of a woman
having a natural child. First that which is natural and then that which is spiritual,
not the other way around. 1Cor:15:46,47.
Just some thoughts. Not to offend.

If it is the ark, the genuine...it might spur the building of a third temple that Preterist say won't happen or won't matterMy opinion here.
1.) I don't believe this relic is the real thing to begin with.
2.) I don't see anything in scripture that connects the ark with the building of another temple.
Why this myth keeps surfacing is a mystery to me, but it will probably spur talk of the temple, at the very least.
One clear reference for another temple I see is in 2 The 2, where the man of sin sits in God's temple, and is destroyed by the Lord when He's revealed. As I understand that chapter, the discussion is focused on the day of the Lord, which is the second coming.

Weekly World News:
The head of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia has stated that the Ark of the Covenant will be revealed to the public. Abuna Pauolos is in Vatican City this week, meeting with Pope Benedict XVI. It is from this holy city that Pauolos confirmed the Ark of the Covenant's presence in Ethiopia, and that he will be announcing its unveiling this Friday.

Ahh... then it will be the real thing wether it is or not because the pope has the authority to make it the real thing...

I just saw this:
The press Conference was held on Friday by His Holiness Abune Paulos who explained that he would not be showing the Ark but instead said that he was not there to present evidence of the Ark.

And this:
Friday:
“Soon the world will be able to admire the Ark of the Covenant described in the Bible as the container of the tablets of the law that God delivered to Moses and the center of searches and studies for centuries.”
There’s just one minor detail that everyone seems to have missed. The statement from Abuna Pauolos reads as follows:
Non sono qui per dare delle prove che l’Arca sia in Etiopia, ma sono qui per dire quello che ho visto, quello che so e che posso testimoniare. Non ho detto che l’Arca sarà mostrata al mondo. E’ un mistero, un oggetto di culto.
That basically translates as follows:
I am not here to give proofs that the Ark is in Ethiopia, but I am here to say what I saw, what I know and I can attest to. I didn’t say that the Ark would be revealed to the world. It is a mystery, an object of veneration.

He must be a liberal democrat.
In short it seems he said, "I know what I said, and I know you thought you knew what I said, but I now say, what I did say is not what you thought I said, even though that is what I said to make you think you knew what I said." :blah

It's not in the bible, but that's not relevant because some believe that it is in the bible?????
It wasn't relevant to what was said earlier AND just you saying "it's not in the bible" does not make it so

I understand, but I don't believe there is a chance that it is the real thing.
why?

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? :ursofunny
Sigh
Just when it was getting good!

I can't believe that Preterists were buying into this. It's just another Futurist hoax.

So you are saying there is some world wide conspiracy of futurists to get this Ethiopian to make this announcement? WOW :crazy

2Cor.4:7
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
From an alter, to a tabernacle,to a tent, to a temple, and now in us. The Power of God now rests or
resides inside us. We are the temple of the HOLY GHOST.
We represent the Presence of God, the angel of HIS Presence, where ever we go.
God is a Spirit. In those who have received the Holy Spirit/Ghost, God's Spirit/Presence/Power
dwells/resides/ makes HIS abode. What are people looking for!!! Looking for God in all the wrong
places!
