THE ARK OF THE COVENANT

When did the Ark of the Covenant disappear? This article proposes that, based on scripture, the Ark is not present in the Final Temple after Messiah comes.

Possible locations of the Ark.

The Ark of the Covenant last seen in scripture:

The last mention of the Ark in the Hebrew Bible is in the Book of Kings, written around 600 - 575 BC, although there were doubtless earlier source documents that are no longer known. It specifies that there was nothing in the Ark except the tablets. The Ark itself vanished during the Babylonian Conquest, around 587 BC. So the writers of the Book of Kings overlapped with the time when the Ark was in the (First) Temple. There is no mention of an Ark in the Second Temple, and it is generally agreed that there wasn't one.

REBUILDING OF THE THIRD TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM

The Second Temple (Herod's Temple).

Those familiar with the Torah and new testament scriptures know of the prophecies of the third temple being rebuilt. STORMBRINGER believes we are fortunate to live in times where this is all coming together.

Efforts by the Temple Institute in Israel have restored many of the sacred vessels and temple items such as the menorah and the high priest’s breast plate. Original artifacts from the last temple have been discovered. DNA testing now exists that can confirm who are Cohanim (only ones who can serve in the priesthood), and a computer registery established. Training programs for rabbis are now in operation. Techelet, a special blue dye needed to produce the high priest’s robe can now be made again as the snail producing it that was thought to be extinct has been found again in the Red Sea.

Keep your eye on the news. We are living in interesting times.

The Temple in Jerusalem and related matters are of great interest to many professional soldiers and intelligence analysts that I have served with; this is the first a series of articles on the Temple and prophecy by STORMBRINGER team member VALERIA.
