Why hasn't anyone tried to get back the Ark of the Covenant from Ethiopia?
>>18534662The level of dumbness required to believe the ark of the covenant is in Ethiopia is lower than that required to devise a plan to retrieve it
>>18534782True, it's in Kenya.
>>18534782Well... has anyone checked?
The Babylonians just melted the thing down
>>18534662Whatever they're guarding is apparently causing the Priests to blind.
>>18535029This. If the true Ark existed, and survived to the present day, despite my filthy atheism and lack of superstitious beliefs, that's the one historical artifact I wouldn't even touch. Now if I hadn't seen any of the Indiana Jones movies I might fuck with it.
>>18535029If it ever even existed. I don't find it unlikely that Jews would lie about having a huge golden treasure box that they misplaced at some point but if you happen to find any giant golden arks kindly return them please.
>>18535109They apparently also had to change its location because the intense heat would crack the stone floor. I think it might actually be the Ark of Weapons Grade Plutonium.
>>18534662Because it kills you if you touch it.
>>18535179wear gloves?
>>18534662Jeremiah 3:16-17In those days, when your numbers have increased greatly in the land,” declares the Lord, “people will no longer say, ‘The ark of the covenant of the Lord.’ It will never enter their minds or be remembered; it will not be missed, nor will another one be made.
>>18534782Where is it then, Einstein?
>>18534662it's in Jamie Hyneman's warehouse.
>>18535211Makes sense that Jeremiah would say that since he lived through the Bablyonian take over.He also "prophesied" they would win by the way and was treated with favor by the Babylonians as a result.
>>18535029Bullshit. The Babylonians were fanatical record keepers, the fact that the Ark doesn't appear in their accounting of loot and treasures they hauled from Jerusalem is strong evidence that it never fell into their hands. >>18535211Jermiah made it clear that the Ark is no longer relevant to Gods plans. It was likely supernaturally whisked away by God prior to the destruction of the First Temple.
It is in Zimbabwe, fools!
>>18535837no you have it backwards, the fools are in Zimbabwe
>>18534662Even if it was the real thing, the Ark has already fulfilled its purpose to carry God's presence and surpassed with the first advent of Christ.
>>18535834>The Babylonians were fanatical record keepers, the fact that the Ark doesn't appear in their accounting of loot and treasures they hauled from Jerusalem is strong evidence that it never fell into their hands. We have Babylonian records that list what was looted?
>>18535513It’s being looked after by top men. Top. Men.
what is this?QRD on the golden nigger tomb?
>>18536115It's the golden box in which the old school jews would keep their stone tablets from God.God would also appear as a glowy cloud over the wings of the angels once per year and chat with the high priest after an animal sacrifice.
>>18536114Well, it better not be bottom men. God doesn't like those.
>>18534662The Law is the body of Christ is Israel is Zion. Thats the covenant now, and there is no other covenant.
>>18536467>lose God's very important box>"eh actually, we don't need the box"
>>18534662I watched this documentary where they opened it and some dude's face melted off. I think we should leave it alone for real.
>>18536805He tore the veil, Anon…
>>18534662Probably never existed in the first place, like the original Avesta, that was, according to Zoroastrians, destroyed by Alexander the Great.
>>18537868>atheists deciding all of history is fake again
>>18536125Why did they need a gold box to keep stone blocks? Didn't moses bring them down the mountain as is? Why is the box more important to abrahamoids compared to the stone?
>>18534662If its fake, you're going to jail in Africa and if its real you're gonna get your face melted. I'm not sure which fate is worse.
>>18536115Haven't you seen Indiana Jones?
>>18535179
>>18534662everyone who touches it diesif it's real I don't want anything to do with that thing, if it's fake then it's their own fake, they made it, they can keep it
>>18534662Spielberg
Ron Wyatt says he found the Ark of the Covenant underneath the Garden Tomb in the 80's. Not a lot of people believe him, but you can read about his findings on his website or watch this video and decide for yourself. https://youtu.be/PIpvIVLQ2Dk?si=7sS3926Z_-Jlci5g
>>18538039Christians say Mary is the new ark but nobody who touched her died. Joseph even slept with her and didn't die.
>>18537883They also had a tent in which God would live while they travel around the land. Later he moved to the golden box. Back then gods would hang out on tall mountains and live in big stones or shrine-like houses. The Muslims still do a little circular dance around "god's house" in mecca.The "god is everywhere and unseen" idea became popular due to the Babylonian exile (destroyed temple, lost ark, misplaced believers) and greek/roman philosophies like Stoicism (god as a cosmic, rational force permeating the entire universe).
>>18538143“But will God really dwell on earth? The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built! Yet give attention to your servant’s prayer and his plea for mercy, Lord my God. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in your presence this day.
>>18538245Yeah, but the Books of Kings were written during/shortly after the Bablyonian exile.
>>18538269Not really.
>>18538293Yes really
>>18538312By the time Jeremiah prophecied all these books already existed.
>>18538338It's a history of Isreal and Judah. It also covers the destruction of Jerusalem and ends with the release of King Jehoiachin in 560 BCE, 20 years before the end of the Babylonian Exile. So after Jeremiah.It compiles older stories yes, but it was compiled during a time when the Babylonian exile had already produced the monotheistic non-local deity ideas. As a religious text it naturally has to reflect the ideas of the people at the time.
