But unlike the Indiana Jones movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark," the text leaves the exact location of the Ark unclear and states that it, and the other treasures, "shall not be revealed until the day of the coming of the Messiah son of David …" putting it out of reach of any would-be treasure seeker.
King Solomon's Temple, also called the First Temple, was plundered and torched by the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar II in the sixth century B.C., according to the Hebrew Bible. The Ark of the Covenant is a chest that, when originally built, was said to have held tablets containing the 10 commandments. It was housed in Solomon's Temple, a place that contained many different treasures.
The newly translated text, called "Treatise of the Vessels" (Massekhet Kelim in Hebrew), says the "treasures were concealed by a number of Levites and prophets," writes James Davila, a professor at the University of St. Andrews, in an article in the book "Old Testament Pseudepigrapha More Noncanonical Scriptures Volume 1" (William B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 2013).

ReplyDeleteHmmm...not revealed until the coming of the Messiah. If "until" means "when" then we should have heard by now. If it means "any time after", then who knows when.
ReplyDeleteCrop circles literally speak to me.The secret of the math hidden within a crop circle is that there is no secret.One can either understand their message or not understand it.Forget the computer program that scientists think will decipher & somehow break the code.I am directed to one of the most impoverished areas on Earth-Ethiopia as the location of the Ark.Without benefit of ANY research on my part one particular crop circle in the English countryside told me the Ark was in central Ethiopia in a religious temple.
