Naked Bible Podcast 158 - The Fate Of The Ark Of The Covenant

[@mariabrafford1212]

So wonderful to have these recordings to go to and listen to Dr Heiser's incredible teaching after his passing into eternity. His voice was strong and his laughter so contagious. Miss that so much already.

Sir, I am a old Christian who has endeavored to grow in Faith all my life, to not grow old-in Spirit, but to keep refreshed learning our Lord Jesus. At nearly seventy I found you on Utube and have watched "well" over twenty hours (and "actually" bought The Unseen Realm). I greatly value your work, and opening The Scriptures up for me. Thank You.

[@LetsTalkTorah]

Bravo, Dr Heiser! I love you and your work! Truly a man after Truth and Frankness above form and religion! I suspect that the Ark will make one more short appearance and be defiled - and that event has to do with the ongoing challenge of discerning (and discarding, lol) our different and periodically upgraded expectations of the “literal vs allegorical” nature of “end times” prophetic events. But either way, Jeremiah 3:16 remains the final word.

[@canadiankewldude]

As God's prophet, if he was instructed to hide it leaving the comment he did, seems reasonable. God would then have allowed him and whoever helped, to touch it. Naturally he would not record where it was, God's command. Makes sense to me. *_God bless_*

[@physchir]

Question on the Law, isn't it a requirement that the blood of the sacrifice be sprinkled on the mercy seat? And as Jesus is the perfect (and last) sacrifice, wouldn't His blood need to be sprinkled as the Law required? How would that be accomplished? Thanks for help on this!

[@a-lightful-forest]

I guess that aspect took place in a spiritual form ... Hebrews 9:11-12 says: "But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption."

Mentioning Ethiopia reminded me of a book I read where the author found an ancient copy of the Ark which he said is a war drum of some sort. I'll have to remember the name of the book. Would love your take on it.

[@viboraodalager8818]

Fascinating stuff. I listen to Dr. Heiser for the scholarly technical information. As for the Truth, one might have to go elsewhere for that. God tends to not reveal Truth to scholars but to "infants" (Mt 11 25). Still, fascinating stuff.

[@danielmann5427]

Technical information is opposed to Truth? The apostle Paul was not a scholar? Did not the apostle Paul condem a particular group of Christians for being like infants when they should be mature?

[@viboraodalager8818]

@@danielmann5427 Thanks for the comment. Technical information is not "opposed" to Truth, but they're not the same thing. Scholars, even unbelieving, liberal scholars, can provide us with useful technical information e.g. linguists on the grammar and syntax of Hebrew, archaeologists on the historical background of the biblical accounts etc. But as for the Truth i.e. what God actually is saying to us in the Bible, that's something that the Holy Spirit reveals to "infants" i.e. those with humble, childlike faith who tremble at the Word of God. And so, you can have a very smart Bible scholar fill you in on the technicalities of the grammar and geography and archaeology of the book of Genesis, for instance, and it will be very useful information, but that very same scholar could be an atheist who doesn't even believe that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth...

It's weird that Ron Wyatt got talked over pretty fast without really diving into everything could actually mean, not eschatology wise or anything like that but what actually really happened cuz he did get locked up over in Arabia and supposedly find in the mountain and now there's more HD video of that mention that matches up descriptions what was in the Bible about it, there is some things that don't make a little sense with Ron but a lot of others do and he does have pictures with Israeli archaeologist giving him some certificate also the small oil pomegranate jar that is in the museum was a supposedly one of the things Ron found down there and gave to them so I don't think it's all just smoke and mirrors maybe people can't say if it was found like one said that it can cause a World War or at least a war in Jerusalem with the Muslims Maybe they don't want it to be known by all people if it was found there just in case, I'm just saying put aside Ron Wyatts Doctrine and just look at all the evidences and then all of denials by the authorities after that's all.

[@garyzimmerman62]

Here is a PERFECT example of what Dr. Heiser is talking about in the "Bible Code" and how what man added can change things.... When Christ is on the cross and turns to the repentant thief, he says "I say unto you today you will be with me in paradise" (that may be a paraphrase, I don't have my Bible open to that verse eight now but makes no difference for my point). That is the way it was written in Greek. There was no punctuation. Now most people say that the thief went to heaven that day because man added the comma here...... "I say unto you, today you will be with me in paradise". BUT (This is what I believe) move the comma to make this sentence..... "I say unto you today, you will be with me in paradise". Moving the comma just one word completely changes the meaning.... I believe the second example because other verses back up the fact that we don't go to paradise until the day of judgement.....

[@canadiankewldude]

My difficulty in accepting the arkwas destroyed is how probably the most important spiritual/cultural item in existence, became irrelevant to God. This is an item that was his footstool; if you touched it you died. But, nah, now it's just nothing. I have a hard time wrapping my head around that. Clearly, I am not God, so if that's the case, I'm also surprised there isn't something written about God's change of heart.

After reading Jeremiah 3:16 and Lamentations 2:1, I think we do have an answer to the question of "where is the Ark?" It's gone, destroyed, melted down. And we don't need it anymore. But if you do want to rebuild the Temple, you still have a major problem. Where are you going to put it? It's not going to go up there next to the Dome of the Rock, and it wasn't inside the City of David. And the whole area is built up with lots of other buildings now ...

Is a supposedly one of the thing is rount Ron found down there and gave to them also interesting the one Israeli top guy that said he was never in Jerusalem ends up saying he was there they can and then says he wasn't there digging so I think the story needs to be dug into more and no no one's giving anybody money.

Maybe Nebuchadnezzar took it as if it were furniture (GOD commanded the destruction, so he would have been off the hook for looting it without damage), his grandson broke it out for his soiree and got cursed (probably set food on it), then Ezra was commanded to take all that was not damaged back to Jerusalem, and rebuild the temple. Ezra brought stuff back, right? The less said the better. Wipe the sweat off their butts and settle down for a few days. [nervous grins all around] So, it made a round trip. As long as nobody back then knew what it was. . . . . There is also the possibility that it was put into the "imposing Altar" at Geliloth? (Joshua chapter 22) Few people had seen more than the poles sticking out. Who would know? Why was that place built?
