WASHINGTON – It would almost inarguably be the greatest archaeological find in history.
Movies have been made about it.
Voluminous books have explored its whereabouts.
It’s an artifact that combines faith, science and history.
It’s the Ark of the Covenant – the gold-laden box made by Moses with
the specific instructions of God to hold the Ten Commandments and serve
as a meeting place between man and his Creator.
One of the persistent theories about the whereabouts of the Ark is
that it lay buried in secret tunnels and passageways constructed by King
Solomon for the specific purpose of keeping it from enemies who might
one day capture and destroy the Temple.
Now there is compelling new evidence that’s just what happened – and
that the Ark still rests beneath the chamber known as the Holy of
Holies, moved there through an elaborate machine constructed under the
direction of Solomon long before the invasion of the Babylonians and the
sacking of the Temple.
Most of the evidence for this theory of the Ark’s location comes
right out of the Bible – in passages discussed in a two-part video
documentary by Michael Rood called “The Great Secret of Solomon’s Temple and the Hiding of the Ark of the Covenant.”
This three-hour presentation will keep you spellbound with its
references to little-studied Bible verses that provide hints of about
how the Ark was preserved from the invaders.
But WND has confirmed at least some of the story with archaeological
sources secretly working within the tunnel structure beneath the Temple
Mount.
Even more astonishing is the theory propounded on the specific
location of the Ark – a theory that, if true – would have more meaning
to followers of Yeshua as Messiah and Savior than most Christians could
ever imagine.
