Where is the Ark of the Covenant?

[roger1440]

The ancient Jews build this precious box, schlepped it through the desert for many years and then housed it in a magnificent Temple. It then vanishes from history and no one is out looking for it. What’s up with that? A few years ago I had asked a Jewish co-worker the same question. He was a pretty smart guy. He had a Doctorate in philosophy. After I had asked him he looked at me, shrugged his shoulders and said, “I don’t have it.” A short time later I had asked a second Jewish co-worker the same question. The man wasn’t well educated. I didn’t think he would give me much input on the subject. His answer wasn’t what I had expected. It took me by surprise. He told me, “The Ark is in every Temple.” What do you think?

Nazi's had it, but now it is in a safe place with "top men" working on it.

I thought it was supposed to be a war drum found somewhere in Africa. It is in every temple though.

I always heard the knights templar have it hid away somewhere.

I don't think there was an Ark, well not as described in the bible, I think the Ark just represents our journey from the outer to the inner, in itself it has no power.

We still don't know what secrets they held.

The Ark has in it the laws that will save all the animals?

No, that was Noah's Ark.

They are in every temple.

Conspiracy theories as to the whereabouts of the actual ark abound. The most likely theory though is that it's supposedly housed in a church in Ethiopia. Another possibility is that the Ark was stolen during a war, and taken south by the Lemba people (who are thought to have Jewish origins), and subsequently hidden.

he was obviously speaking symbolically.
