    I believe the Ark does exist but it will be revealed in God's own time not human.

    They stashed that thing so well that it will undoubtedly never be found.....

    Uzzi didn't have a weak heart! The Lord instructed them not to touch the ark, I'm sure in that moment when the ark was falling off the cart, uzzi reached out to keep it from falling into the earth, but it would of been better to fall into the earth, then a man's defiled hands touching it! When God says not to do something don't do it!!

    It’s under Jerusalem. Its location is already known.

    Hopefully, the Ark will never be found. No human being should have that kind of power.

    Funny that most "scholars" think that the Temple Mount was the location of the original Temple. That would require that the massive fortifications comprising the platform base was constructed by the early inhabitants of the city. This structure was built by the Romans to house the Roman fort during the Roman occupation. The location of the original Temple is located at a lower elevation - The Bible gives clues as to the location, which is now being excavated. The Temple needed to be close to a source of water for holy rituals. There is no water available on the "Temple Mount".

    1:40 "Fanatical Jews and Christians attempting to rid the mount of its Muslim presence" Didn't have to wait long...thanks for saving me an hour.

    It's not ark that's important IT'S THE COVENANT it's where Jews set the world on a course with GOD that others have tried to claim just to get close to GOD. REMEMBER IT WAS THE JEWS THAT FIRST SHARED GOD WITH THE HUMAN RACE

    Jerusalem should be declared a closed city. Not a part of Israel and populated only by clerics of all the faiths that consider the city Holy. An Ecumenical city where peace and civility reign.

    It’s funny the father of Jews is Abraham but they don’t eat ham. Should have called him Neverham when they made up this whole story
