They may have removed it, too, for safe keeping, as the fighting started to become unwieldly. But then again...the Ark was pretty formidable...against soldiers with spears...it might not be all that persuasive a weapon compared to the games of war we play these days. Who knows. Plus...if it actually worked, maybe it only worked in the hands of the Israelites. Which makes me think... if the Ark was actually in someone's possession ...wouldn't Mossad be all over it? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl.Of.Trumps Posted May 10, 2021 #77 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Another good point, @joc ! I think Israel would have invaded Ethiopia long ago if Israeli historians thought there was a chance the Ark was there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docyabut2 Posted May 11, 2021 Author #79 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) According to the Book of Exodus, Moses instructed Bezalel and Aholiab to construct the Ark. The Book of Exodus Moses instructed Bezalel and Aholiab to construct the Ark. I believe The Book of Exodus was just a made up writing ,and Moses made the ark, a drum In the Deuteronomy 10:3 Moses said he made the ark And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand Edited May 11, 2021 by docyabut2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docyabut2 Posted May 11, 2021 Author #80 Share Posted May 11, 2021 The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church claims to possess the Ark of the Covenant, ? I remember a Archaeologist went in and a priest just showed him a book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I just crack myself up. But seriously...what is the ark of the covenant? It was a weapon God gave the Israelites. Their enemies were terrified of it. So if it actually exists...and someone has it....Israel might want it very, very much! Can you imagine...Israel going against Hamas with the Ark of the Covenant? Now that's a movie I would like to see. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
