WHAT IF THE ARK OF THE COVENANT NEVER LEFT? WHAT IF IT WAS REVEALED AT THIS TIME?
The ancient Jewish Temple in Jerusalem was built to excruciating detail to house the Ark of the Covenant which was also constucted in precise detail. It was carried through the desert and guarded for hundreds of years and through the rein on many many Jewish Kings.
The Jews knew math and science. They knew prophecy and that they had a role in God's plan. They also knew they would be attacked again and again by large human forces.
Do you really think the ancient Jews would not have had a preconceived intricate and superior plan for hiding and securing the Ark of the Covenant. And would not such a plan include creating decoys and myths to distract and confuse their enemies and treasure hunters???
What IF the Jews did prepare for the siege and the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem? What if the Ark has been hidden in Jerusalem for some 2 millennium? And what IF it were to APPEAR in our time?
IS THE WORLD READY FOR THAT? ARE YOU READY FOR THAT?
Chassidic (mystics) teachings explain that "In general, G‑d has two opposite modes with which He operates: revealed (the natural) or concealed (the supernatural). Nature, with its seeming lack of Divinity, is a result of G‑d’s power to conceal Himself. Miracles, on the other hand, when the laws of nature are broken, are the very expression of G‑dliness, His power openly revealed. In truth, however, G‑d is beyond both of those, He is neither entirely concealed, nor revealed. Neither locked into operating in a hidden, limited manner, nor bound by his infinitude. He is beyond both, and can unite the two modalities if He so desires."
The Ark exists/operates in both modalities - natural and supernatural (miracles).
They say, when it is time, the Holy of Holies and the Ark will just show up.
