1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,080 It has just been announced that the CI as remote viewer has been 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:09,320 identified and what he claims is absolutely bonkers. 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,320 I can't believe I'm saying this, but new information is now 4 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,600 emerging about the CI as claim to the location of the Ark of 5 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,920 the Covenant. Are you ready for this? 6 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,360 We'll strap on your seatbelts because now we've got a name. 7 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,520 Meet Major Ed Dames, a former CIA remote viewer who's come 8 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,280 forward claiming that he knows where the Ark is. 9 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,720 That's right. According to him, he used his 10 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,800 mind, not maps or drones. He used his mind to track it 11 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,480 down. And if you think that sounds 12 00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:41,840 kind of sketchy or you're not alone. 13 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,560 However, for entertainment purposes only, let's ask the 14 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:50,400 question, who is this guy? Ed Dames worked for the CIA in 15 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,040 the 1980s as part of Stargate Project, a classified program 16 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,360 where the CIA basically trained people to be psychics. 17 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,680 What was their job? It was to use remote viewing, 18 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,080 which is essentially seeing things from a distance using the 19 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,680 power of your mind. The program was eventually 20 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,560 scrapped in 1995 because, surprise, surprise, it wasn't 21 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,200 delivering solid intelligence. I will say this though, I do 22 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,640 believe that this kind of stuff, it does produce results and 23 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,480 we're going to find out the claims of Major Ed Dames in a 24 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,120 moment. But never forget, the Bible has 25 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,200 made some pretty strong commands against those who try to gain 26 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,200 hidden knowledge through unusual means. 27 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,120 So take all of that into your mind and let's test to see if 28 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,480 Dames is telling the truth. And let's see if what he says 29 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,800 contradicts the other claims that other people have made 30 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,280 about the Ark of the Covenant's whereabouts. 31 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,720 Listen to this Dame says he performed a technical remote 32 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:52,040 viewing session last year, and from it he pinpointed the Ark's 33 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,520 location within metres. And where does he say it is? 34 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,080 Hidden underground? In The Cave of Patriarchs in 35 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,760 Hebron, in the West Bank. But come on now, let's be honest 36 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,440 with one another. This place is no random cave. 37 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,440 It's meant to be the site where Abraham and Jacob were placed. 38 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,920 But here's the problem. No one is allowed to just waltz 39 00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:14,760 in there. And and start digging because 40 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,800 this cave is highly protected. But over to you. 41 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,920 What do you think? Does that sound accurate, or is 42 00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:24,560 this all very convenient? It does get worse, though. 43 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,480 During his remote viewing session, Dames described being 44 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,480 inside a stone tunnel, feeling uneasy, even scared. 45 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,960 He saw a boxy, heavy object, something sacred, something 46 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,040 ancient. He said when he was there, he'd 47 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,280 never felt anything like it before. 48 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,480 Am I the only one who feels feels very uncomfortable when I 49 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,240 hear this? Because back in his CIA days, 50 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,400 Dames had actually used the Ark as a training target for his 51 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,840 other remote viewers. And guess what? 52 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,680 One of those early exercises already suggested that the Ark 53 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,360 was somewhere in the Middle East. 54 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,280 So I'll ask you again, is all of this legit? 55 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,160 Well, the fact is this, there's no way to verify this claim. 56 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,240 And moreover, there are other theories where the Ark is today 57 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,560 that say the complete opposite to Dames. 58 00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:16,520 And in just one minute I'm going to share some of them with you. 59 00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:20,880 But let's not forget, even Dames himself admits that remote 60 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,080 viewing doesn't always hold up to Western scientific standards. 61 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,560 It's what we call fringe science. 62 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,440 But hey, on the other hand, the USA were willing to throw $20 63 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,880 million into this project, so clearly someone thoughts it was 64 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,360 worth exploring. I know what some of you are 65 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,200 thinking though. Although you strongly disapprove 66 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,280 of this method, you're wondering what if he is right? 67 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,120 What if Dames really did find it? 68 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,440 OK, well here's the thing. If the Ark is hidden in The Cave 69 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,480 of Patriarchs, or if it's hidden somewhere else on Earth, does 70 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,440 that mean we'll ever see it? I'm not so sure. 71 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,040 But that being said, those who do believe the Ark is still with 72 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,160 us often also believe it will once again be shown to the world 73 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,880 when things really start to get heated just before the return of 74 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,800 Jesus Christ. But right now is all you need to 75 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,240 remember is this. If Dames is actually correct, 76 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,800 This site is heavily restricted. And even if permission were 77 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,720 granted, history teaches us it's never gone too well for anyone 78 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,360 who's laid their unwelcome hands on it in the past. 79 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,920 Has it? But hey, now, here's the answer 80 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,480 you've all been waiting for. Who else, apart from Major Ed 81 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,760 Dames, has also made claims to find the location of the Ark of 82 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,920 the Covenant? I am going to choose my words 83 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,600 carefully now, but sometimes people bring up an ancient 84 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,440 prophecy that has recently resurfaced. 85 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,120 This claims that the Ark of the Covenant was hidden by an Angel 86 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,280 just before the Babylonians invaded Jerusalem in 586 BC. 87 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,440 According to this prophecy, the Ark was put underground and it 88 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,680 will only be revealed when the Holy Land is restored. 89 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:07,280 Now I'll be clear, there is absolutely no scriptural basis 90 00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:09,800 for this prophecy and it's not part of the Bible. 91 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,200 It comes from the Apocalypse of Baruch, a non canical text from 92 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,800 around the first or second century BC. 93 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,720 So we're already stepping into on biblical land here, and while 94 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,840 it might sound like an intriguing story, ultimately 95 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,400 it's just a tale with no foundation in Scripture. 96 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,520 So why do I share this? Well, I think, and I could be 97 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,720 wrong, but I think it's important to be a little bit 98 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,080 clued up on some of these things, especially when they 99 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,960 might come up in a conversation or for me, for example, when I'm 100 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,760 doing St. evangelism. And in that way, I can address 101 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,960 them with clarity. OK, now you've probably already 102 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,720 heard of Ron Wyatt, but in case you haven't, he was an amateur 103 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,440 archaeologist who I think found some pretty incredible biblical 104 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,480 discoveries like Noah's Ark and even the real Mount Sinai in the 105 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,240 1980s. Now Ron also said that he found 106 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,800 the Ark of the Covenant near the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem, which 107 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,960 is a bit different from Ed Dames because he says it was found in 108 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,280 The Cave of Patriarchs. Wyatt Theory was the ark was 109 00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:14,520 hidden in a cave right underneath the Calvary site, and 110 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,040 he says this is exactly where he found it and some other ancient 111 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,440 artifacts and some other things that he even tested in a lab. 112 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,120 On the other hand, The Ethiopians have a totally 113 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,760 different narrative. They claim that they have had 114 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,760 the ark all along, hidden safely in the Church of Our Lady Mary 115 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,840 of Zion in Axiom, Ethiopia. If you ask the locals, they'll 116 00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:37,600 say it's been there since the time of many Link, the son of 117 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,480 the Queen of Sheba. But even then, some scholars, 118 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,920 including Edward Ullendorf, have cast out on this, suggesting 119 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,760 that the Ark might just be a replica. 120 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,800 So here's one thing that is clear. 121 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,120 Everyone's got their own version of where the Ark is. 122 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,280 And personally, I'm not convinced by any of these ideas. 123 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,560 I lean towards the fact that the Ark of the Covenant is now in 124 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,560 heaven. Why? 125 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,200 Well, listen to Revelation 11, verse 19. 126 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,800 Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the Ark of 127 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,120 the Covenant was seen in his temple. 128 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,760 Again, I'm not the guy with all of the answers, but that verse 129 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,240 to me does seem like it's in the heavenly temple according to 130 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,240 John's vision. Now, some might argue that the 131 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:23,120 emphasis in that verse is on the ark of his covenant, and they'd 132 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,240 say that the ark on earth was merely a model of the one in 133 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,240 heaven, just like the earthly temple was patterned after the 134 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,720 heavenly one. Either way, it's fascinating to 135 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,800 think about where one of the world's most precious objects is 136 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,440 today. And of course, for me, as an 137 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,440 evangelist, it's a tremendous opportunity to share one of the 138 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,320 world's most important messages with you today. 139 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,520 So if you haven't already noticed, we have quickly moved 140 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,360 away from the entertainment part of this video, and now it's time 141 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,440 to talk about the truth. So what do I want to say to you? 142 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,400 Let's not get too bogged down in all these details. 143 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,920 There's something about these stories and these claims that, 144 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,560 yes, it keeps bringing people back. 145 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,640 Why? Because it hints at something 146 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,440 deep, something hidden, something to do with the ark 147 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,080 that could one day be revealed. And I do get it, I really do. 148 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,880 We all love a good mystery, right? 149 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,560 But let's not forget, this doesn't change anything about 150 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,920 what the Bible teaches. The full, complete Word of God 151 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,400 is in the Scriptures, and we have it today. 152 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,800 Nothing is missing and there is nothing needed to be added to 153 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,600 it. So while it's fun to talk about 154 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,240 these stories, it's also important that we stay grounded. 155 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,760 The real focus should be on the message of the Bible and the 156 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,000 truth we can find in it. Now, and I'll say it again, the 157 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,320 Word of God is complete. The gospel is here, and we don't 158 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,520 need secret revelations to lead us to God's plan. 159 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,840 And although you might look for alternate messages, I truly do 160 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,960 believe the greatest message is here, a message greater than any 161 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,120 of these captivating theories. It's the gospel itself, Jesus 162 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,840 Christ. He talked about hidden 163 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,160 treasures, about seeking and finding, and he also talked 164 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,600 about how what was once lost can be restored through him. 165 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,240 The ark was a symbol of God's presence among his people. 166 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,440 And today people are searching not just for relics, but they 167 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,400 are searching for the truth about God, who He is and what 168 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,640 He's done. And yet they don't need to look 169 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,000 any further than God's Son, Jesus Christ, for He is the 170 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,560 image of the invisible God. Friends, there's one truth 171 00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:25,000 that's not hidden in a cave. There's one truth that's not 172 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,640 locked away in some ancient prophecy or some lost artifacts. 173 00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:32,480 And that's the gospel, the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ. 174 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,840 Unlike all these prophecies, the gospel isn't something we have 175 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,480 to wait for or wonder about. It's all already been revealed 176 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,560 to us in the Bible. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, 177 00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:47,520 came to earth, lived a perfect life, and died for our sins so 178 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,960 that we could be forgiven and have eternal life. 179 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,160 And here's the best part. This gift is available to 180 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,760 everyone who believes in Him. No secrets, no mysteries, just 181 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,120 pure grace. So can I ask you, have you 182 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,920 believed on Him? Do you look for extra profits, 183 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,400 for extra biblical texts, for extra revelations? 184 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,960 Are you always looking for these extra things, or are you 185 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,280 satisfied with Jesus Christ alone? 186 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,200 Are you satisfied to know that all of your sins, past, present 187 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,200 and future, were pinned to that cross? 188 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,600 They were taken to Calvary and when Jesus Christ cried out, it 189 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,600 is finished, He meant it. Your sins, the debt of your 190 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,480 sins, can be torn into, gone forever, and you can be saved 191 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,400 and forgiven. Have you found that for 192 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,400 yourself? Have you trusted in the one 193 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,600 who's risen from the grave or you continue to search the 194 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,680 Internet to search books, to search magazines, to keep 195 00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:40,680 looking for more and more information when right in front 196 00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:44,040 of you is the Pearl of great price and is all you need to do 197 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,240 is take hold of that treasure and hold on to it and the Lord 198 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,120 will save you and take you to heaven to be with him for all of 199 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,440 eternity. Let me finish by saying this. 200 00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:57,560 I'm aware I've disappointed a few of you guys because you know 201 00:10:57,560 --> 00:11:01,080 that I also do believe that Ron Wyatt has found many discoveries 202 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,800 and you're scratching your head thinking, but why is it that you 203 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,880 don't think he found the ark of the covenant? 204 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,960 Well, I'm just going to say this very, very gently. 205 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,760 He might have OK, I'm, I don't know everything. 206 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,000 I'm not God, you know that, but I just the claim about the 207 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,120 blood. For me, there is nothing, 208 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,040 nothing more precious than the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. 209 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,800 And if we got this wrong, if we're saying that this is the 210 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,080 blood of Christ, I just think we need to be very, very careful 211 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,760 making a claim like that. I'm sorry if you don't agree 212 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,840 with me. And if you want to see how much 213 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,840 of a fan, shall we say I'm a Ron White, you can check out all of 214 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,680 these videos and all of the discoveries that I think the 215 00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:41,080 Lord led him to find because I think he was used as a vessel of 216 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,480 God to find many wonderful things. 217 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,320 Thank you for watching.
