The Ark of the Covenant supposedly housed the spirit of God. So why wasn't Jesus concerned about it's whereabouts? Where is it? Ethiopia claims to have it. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4B88fcwR8M"]Ethiopia has the Ark of The Covenant - YouTube[/ame]
He wasnt 'looking' for it! The Ark lost it's effect when the Hebrews quit following God's commandments, were turned over to their enemies, who captured & defiled the Ark, and anything following that period of the history of the Jews was manufactured purely by men and had no power. But Jesus was referred to as "the ark of a new & better covenant." And so, any like Indiana Jones et al, if anyone finds an 'ark' it is either a defiled and powerless relic or one that has been purely manufactured by men and is also of no effect...but it makes for good movies
No, he said they're waiting for the temple to be rebuilt to put it in. The better hurry, they've only got till December 21st.
The following is the account of late amateur archaeologist Ron Wyatt and his discovery of that very thing. One day in 1978, Ron Wyatt was walking along Gordon's Calvary Escarpment in the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem, talking with a local authority about Roman antiquities. Without warning, Ron's left hand pointed to a site there and his mouth said, "That's Jeremiah's Grotto and the Ark of the Covenant is in there." http://www.wyattarchaeology.com/
Maybe the Ark still gives off enough power to roast hotdogs or marsh mellows over it..Dang those bad Hebrews..wtf were they thinking..
No... for MONEY.. He made a career out of hoaxes and bilking people out of their money.. He also found Pharaoh's chariots, Noah's Ark and the blood of Jesus. His estate is still bilking the gullible.
Ah, well, that's convenient I do have to wonder whether there really was some object those superstitious goons carted with them into battles and so on. That much is certainly plausible.

The first find that they uncovered were recesses cut into the cliff face, three 'bookshelf-like' cut outs. Ron's thought was that these could be the recesses that held the signs that the Romans put above the cross of Christ. Hm, well. Ron doesn't impress me much with his historical knowledge and impartiality, I must say.
One day during the excavation Ron was feeling very down-hearted, as if God could not use him any more. He thought that he must have done something wrong and that God had decided to take him off the job.
What for? God's presence is no longer in it. God's lives in the children of God.....those who are being lead by His Spirit. God was living among man and they failed to recognize Him and then they killed Him, just as it was prophesied and was raised just as that too was prophesied. That was not Jesus' purpose for coming but He was sent to preach the gospel of the kingdom and start His Church.
Prophecy? God creates people exactly the way he wants them to be then tells them what they are going to do and they do it and there's something special about that?
What's special is that only God is able to do that. But it’s not that God created them to do what they did it’s just that He knows what they are even before they existed.
