'INDIANA JONES' to discover the REAL ARK

[ayin jade]

True archaeology is about discovery, not about making things happen. It sounds like he is looking to force something. God wont be forced either.

[Guest Zayit]

I thought he was jewish??

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No, he is not, in fact he is an X-Christian pastor who is now a leader in the Noachide movement. But his daughter converted to Judaism so that may be where you got that from.

[Guest Zayit]

That is Speilbergs interpretation, however he should be careful, I don't believe he is Jewish, let alone Cohanim so he could most likely be struck dead.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Why would He be stricken dead? Does God still abide in the ark? And Even if God still does, Jew or gentile would be stricken dead for touching it, remember the Jewish man who was carrying the ark across the river, he caught the ark and was stricken dead, so i don't believe its a Jew/Gentile thing If He still abides in the ark.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Because that is the law. And yes, you are half correct, gentiles definately would be struck dead, and Jews, if you are talking in the strictest sense would also, but not cohanim, the priests for they were the only ones allowed to touch it.

The man you are referring to in Kind Davids time ( and he couldn't touch it either ) was Uzzah, and although it seems he was trying to help by keeping the ark from touching the ground he still shoudn't have because he was still not to touch the ark. It shouldn't have been on a cart in the first place, nor exposed, it was to be carried on the shoulders of the priests under coverings. No one was to touch it directly, not even the cohen HaGadol ( the High Priest), the closest he got was on Yom Kippur when he sprinkled blood upon the seat.

It is a great lesson on how when we think in our our thoughts that we are doing good, or right for the L-RD when in fact we aren't.

My ways are highter than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts ~Proverbs 55:9

He is a HOLY G-d and has specific rules about how to come before him and how to do certain things, we make olurselves equal to him or try to rise above when we think up our own ways and then compound it by saying "I don't think he cares, or minds". See it was excusable by G-d for the heathen Philistines to do this for they had no love nore respect for the one true G-d, but for his own people who knew him and said they loved him to treat the ark the same, was not acceptable.

I believe that still holds true today.

[Guest Zayit]

Given that Jesus lived, died, and was resurrected, the Holy Spirit is with us, and the temple veil torn.....

Of what use is the ark anymore? Does it really matter if it is found? As a relic, it could "prove" things, but to those who demand proof, no proof is enough anyway.

True archaeology is about discovery, not about making things happen. It sounds like he is looking to force something. God wont be forced either.

Is that all it is to you , a relic? Do you not know that it is an exact replica of that which is in heaven where your sins come up before the L-RD? That is is the throne of G-d? Not just a mere relic.

He cannot do anything that the L-RD hasn't allowed and doesn't want to happen. Did you not read the verses in Amos?

9:11 Interesting

9:11

In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

9:12

That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.

[ayin jade]

The Ark is lost. I presume lost for a reason. I see the Lord as holy. I do not see objects on earth as holy. It may be a replica of heavenly things, but it is still a replica and since Jesus came, does it have meaning to us now? Im sorry if I disappoint you Zayit.

Wasnt the 10 commandments (the stones) put in the Ark ?Just think how wonderful that would be to see them,something written by God?

I was thinking the same exact thing...

[Sgtazur]

supposedly the Ark is in Axum, Ethiopia, it is widely believed that the Ark is currently being held in the Church of Saint Mary of Zion

[Rerun]

Along with the staff of aaron, manna and some other religious things the ten commandments were inside the mercy seat yes.

The thing about all this is that it's going to be no walk in the park, The opposite is true, it's going to be very hard, the news article had an innacurate date. He doesn'the will find it by august 14, instead he thinks it would be appropriate if it was found by then.
