1 00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:06,600 This is fake, but where is the real Ark of the Covenant? 2 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,800 And who is the Indiana Jones today? 3 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,200 Will allow me to introduce you to the three people who claim to 4 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:19,100 have found it. Number one, Rabbi Yehuda in 1982 5 00:00:19,100 --> 00:00:24,200 Rabbi Yehuda and his friend Shlomo goren conducted a risky 6 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,500 secretive archaeological dig. Why did they have to be so 7 00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:29,800 private about it? Because they were digging 8 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,500 Beneath the Temple Mount and above the Temple. 9 00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:36,000 Mount are a number of sacred religious buildings, which hold 10 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,300 a lot of value and meaning to religious groups around the 11 00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:41,800 world. But the two men say that they 12 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,400 broke through into the Western Wall and there they found an 13 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,700 inner chamber that went back, 28 meters. 14 00:00:48,700 --> 00:00:51,900 And at the bottom of this chamber was the Ark of the 15 00:00:51,900 --> 00:00:54,400 Covenant. Both the men say they saw the 16 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,800 ark, they were feet away from it, but they refuse to touch it. 17 00:00:57,900 --> 00:01:01,300 But one day they claim when the Jewish Temple is rebuilt. 18 00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:04,200 They will bring the Ark of the Covenant out and show it to the 19 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,300 rest of the world, whilst these excavations, and these digs are 20 00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:10,800 going on privately. A radio company, got wind of it 21 00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:14,700 and they leaked the information across all of Israel by morning. 22 00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:18,900 There were great, big groups of Rowdy angry people saying, how 23 00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:22,100 dare you dig beneath the Temple? Mount and as, you know, the 24 00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:24,900 situation in Israel is still very tense. 25 00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:28,100 That's why no further excavations have been able to 26 00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:31,200 take place ever since Yes, but what do you think? 27 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,000 Do you think Rabbi Yehuda really found the Ark of the Covenant 28 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,600 will stay tuned? Because I would like to give you 29 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,800 my opinion of where I think the ark is today, number two, the 30 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,800 monks of Aksum in a tiny, little chapel in Ethiopia, there is a 31 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,100 group of monks who claim they have the Ark of the Covenant. 32 00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:53,800 There are a number of different stories about how the ark 33 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,700 arrived in Ethiopia. But the point is this, this 34 00:01:56,700 --> 00:01:59,800 group claimed that they hold onto one of the most sacred? 35 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,200 Jack's in world history. Now there is a problem. 36 00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:06,600 The problem is this, the monks are so secretive about it, they 37 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,800 will not allow any other Outsiders to enter into the 38 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,300 chapel and there is just one, Guardian monk, who is allowed to 39 00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:16,000 look after the ark and set his eyes on it. 40 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000 Why is this such a problem? But it's very hard to test their 41 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,700 claims and one man, Edward Ohlendorf, the professor of 42 00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:25,900 Ethiopian studies, he actually says that he did get an 43 00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:29,300 opportunity to set his eyes on this supposed Arc and he said, 44 00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:31,800 it was nothing. Nothing more than a wooden box, 45 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,500 a wooden box that was built in the medieval period long after 46 00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:38,500 the biblical era. So again I'll ask you, where do 47 00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:41,600 you think the Ark of the Covenant is do you believe it's 48 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,200 in Ethiopia? Because I know for a fact, some 49 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,600 of you will not be expecting my answer to this question. 50 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,800 Number three, Ron, Wyatt Ron Wyatt is one of the forerunners 51 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,300 who discovered Noah's Ark in durapan our turkey. 52 00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:57,500 But did Ron Wyatt find another Arc? 53 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,800 Did he find the Ark of the Covenant? 54 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,800 School Rumble. Leave the location was at what 55 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,600 is supposed to be the garden tomb? 56 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,300 Just next to Calvary. That's where he believed the ark 57 00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:09,600 was located. So he gained permission and he 58 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,300 began to dig at the Garden tomb and there he found a passageway 59 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,400 and what Ron claims is directly beneath the cross holes directly 60 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,000 beneath where Jesus Christ died, that is where the Ark of the 61 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,600 Covenant was found. And when Ron says he found it, 62 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,700 he said he also met Four Angels. Who told him? 63 00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:29,800 Yes. Take pictures take videos but 64 00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:32,900 Keep the footage there in the chamber and at the appointed 65 00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:35,900 time that is when you will reveal it to the rest of the 66 00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:37,800 world. Now, it's difficult to say 67 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,100 whether Ron really did find the Ark of the Covenant because we 68 00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:44,000 don't have the same body of evidence that we do to some of 69 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,100 his other discoveries. But again, over to you, do you 70 00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:49,800 think Ron Wyatt is the man who found the Ark of the Covenant, 71 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,000 swell? I think my answer is going to 72 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,800 shock you in a moment's time, but first, we need to answer the 73 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,200 question. Why is this one of the most 74 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,700 important objects in? World to both Christians and 75 00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:05,300 Jews alike will firstly. It's because it was designed by 76 00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:07,700 God. God had given very specific 77 00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:10,900 instructions of how the arc should be designed. 78 00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:14,400 It was to be overlaid both inside and outside by gold at 79 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,200 the bottom were attached for golden rings. 80 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,399 And through these Rings went poles of archaea would which 81 00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:22,800 meant that the priests could carry the ark when it was 82 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,600 necessary. But most beautiful of all was 83 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,700 the atonement cover or the mercy seats on either side of this. 84 00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:34,400 Mercy seats, stood two, golden cherubim with their wings spread 85 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,800 out, and this was a sign that these two cherubim obeyed. 86 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,300 God, they had a tension facing into the mercy seat facing, 87 00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:44,600 where God met with the people and they obeyed, only him, but 88 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,700 what do you think was inside of the Ark of the Covenant? 89 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,300 Well, it had the Ten Commandments, the very 90 00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:53,600 Commandments that were written by the Finger of God. 91 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,500 And also Insight was Abraham staff and a jar of manner, which 92 00:04:57,500 --> 00:05:01,100 reminded the people of Israel that God Provided for them when 93 00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:04,600 they were wandering in the desert for 40 years, but here's 94 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,100 why the ark was so precious. You see, if I could sum up the 95 00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:12,100 Bible, if I could sum up, all Thirty One Thousand verses in 96 00:05:12,100 --> 00:05:14,900 the Bible, in just one word. What would you think? 97 00:05:14,900 --> 00:05:19,800 I choose atonement and the Ark of the Covenant represented 98 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,600 atonement for the sins of the people. 99 00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:25,600 Let me explain it to you. He see the arc is natural 100 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,800 resting. Place was in the temple was in 101 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,700 the Tabernacle of God and this happen. 102 00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:33,400 Tackle was a very holy place, but in the Tabernacle, where the 103 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,800 ark was, there was a curtain which separated it and behind 104 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,100 the curtain from this already. Holy place was a place that was 105 00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:43,800 even Holier. It was called the holy of holies 106 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,100 and no one could enter behind that curtain except for the 107 00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:49,900 priest and the priest couldn't just enter any day. 108 00:05:49,900 --> 00:05:53,400 Any day that he felt like it. No he could only answer one day 109 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,700 a year on the day of atonement which was called Yom Kippur and 110 00:05:57,700 --> 00:06:00,700 on Yom Kippur when the priest Sit in there. 111 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,500 It was a very precious day because it says in the Bible 112 00:06:04,500 --> 00:06:08,400 that has the priest entered into the holy of holies. 113 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,800 Their God met with him, their God hovered above the Ark of the 114 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,400 Covenant, but listen to me meeting with God is very 115 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,700 different to if you and I met you see the priest, the high 116 00:06:20,700 --> 00:06:24,800 priest had to go to very special measures before he met with the 117 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,000 Lord, he had to bathe himself, he had to put on a special 118 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,700 garment and then he had to sacrifice. 119 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,500 Twice, a bull as a sin offering for his sins and for his family 120 00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:37,400 sins also, and once he had the blood only, once he had the 121 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,000 blood, could he go behind the veil and meet with the Lord? 122 00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:44,000 And with the blood, he would dip his finger and he would, 123 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,800 sprinkle it on the mercy seat. Once the high priest sins have 124 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,000 been dealt with then he could proceed into making a sin 125 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,400 offering for the people. So we talk to ghosts, the first 126 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,900 goats he sacrificed. And just like he did with the 127 00:06:56,900 --> 00:07:00,800 ball, he took the blood of that goat behind the Certain and 128 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,500 there he sprinkled The Blood On The Mercy Seat as a way of 129 00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:07,900 appeasing, the wrath of God for the many sins that the people of 130 00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:11,300 Israel had committed their. The blood was shed because our 131 00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:15,300 sin is worthy of death. And then with the second goats, 132 00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:19,400 he took that goat and he laid hands on the goats heads and 133 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,500 there as he did that, there was a sort of process a spiritual 134 00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:26,100 Act of the sins of the people being transferred onto that 135 00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:28,600 goals. He then called an appointed man 136 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,700 and that appointed Man, took the goat Into the Wilderness and Let 137 00:07:32,700 --> 00:07:35,900 It Go free. And as that goat ran away, it 138 00:07:35,900 --> 00:07:40,100 took the sins, it removed, the sins into a far, remote place 139 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,700 far away from the people and that is where we get the term 140 00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:47,500 scapegoats from now. Before I reveal to you, my 141 00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:50,900 opinion on, where I think the ark is today, can I ask you a 142 00:07:50,907 --> 00:07:52,700 question? Do you see it yet? 143 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,200 Can you see it does anything? I've just said sound familiar to 144 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,700 any other amazing act that happened 2,000 years ago. 145 00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:04,100 Well, perhaps this Bible verse will drive it home for you 146 00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:08,700 unlike the other high priests. He that is Jesus does not need 147 00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:13,600 to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins and 148 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,800 then for the sins of the people, he sacrificed for their sins. 149 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,500 Once for all when he offered himself. 150 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,800 Now, do you see it? We have a new high priest, a 151 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,700 great high priest, and his name is Jesus Christ, Jesus. 152 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,100 Us Christ, did not have to bring before God, a sin offering for 153 00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:36,600 his own sins, because the Lord Jesus Christ was totally 154 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,100 sinless. He was righteous and he had done 155 00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:41,200 nothing wrong. So he could stand before God 156 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,600 boldly and say, I am sinless. I present the sacrificed. 157 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,900 This great high priest. He did not have to keep entering 158 00:08:47,900 --> 00:08:51,500 into the temple once a year to offer a sacrifice for the people 159 00:08:51,500 --> 00:08:54,900 know when Christ Jesus hung on that cross when he was nailed to 160 00:08:54,900 --> 00:08:57,900 that tree, that was one sacrifice once for all that is 161 00:08:57,900 --> 00:09:01,800 eternally sufficient to pay. The price for all of our sins 162 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,700 forever and as a brother, once said to me in a church, the 163 00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:08,500 blood of Jesus Christ is eternally cleansing us from our 164 00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:10,400 sins. And the next thing you need to 165 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,400 know is this the Lord Jesus Christ he did not end Sir with 166 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,300 the blood of an animal no he presented his own blood before 167 00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:21,200 the Lord. God that blood was there to 168 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,300 appease the wrath of God. So, the Roth that abides on you 169 00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:27,200 and I the Roth for our sins, where we stand before, God 170 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,100 condemned for our lies, our sin, our Blasphemy all the wrong 171 00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:35,600 things we've done. That Roth was turned away and 172 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,600 placed on Jesus Christ, and there he absorbed it so that we 173 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,600 could be forgiven and that blood can washes whiter than snow. 174 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,400 The Lord, Jesus Christ that day did away with all animal 175 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,800 sacrifices, no more did Lambs need to be sacrificed. 176 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,300 No more did balls need to be sacrificed because he is the 177 00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:58,100 Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world and something 178 00:09:58,100 --> 00:09:59,700 that probably comes to your mind. 179 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,200 When I say about the high priests, the Lord Jesus Christ. 180 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,400 Is that great big curtain. That great big Veil that went 181 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,400 from the top of the temple down to the Boston that separated the 182 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,700 holy place of the temple from the most. 183 00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:17,200 Holy the holy of holies what happens when Jesus Christ cried 184 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,000 out. These three words, it is 185 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,500 finished. The curtain was torn in two and 186 00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:29,700 that is the most beautiful sign that now you, and I a sinful. 187 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,700 While people can enter boldly into the presence of God, the 188 00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:37,900 way is open because God the mediator between God and man, 189 00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:40,900 God, the middleman, Jesus Christ in the flesh. 190 00:10:40,900 --> 00:10:43,400 He met with us. So, that we could now enter 191 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,100 before God and were no longer separated, because of our sin, 192 00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:50,700 because Christ paid the price for our sin, he was a sin 193 00:10:50,700 --> 00:10:53,700 offering that we need. So the only thing I need to ask 194 00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:56,800 you is, will you come will you calm and ask the Lord? 195 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,000 Jesus Christ. Be your lord and savior. 196 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,200 Will you ask him? Bring you into reconciliation 197 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,300 with God to bring you back. You've been separated for so 198 00:11:05,300 --> 00:11:08,200 long because of your sins. But today, you can be drawn back 199 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,300 to the father through that very act. 200 00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:13,500 The Lord Jesus Christ. Did, if you want to, you can 201 00:11:13,500 --> 00:11:16,900 have it just like that goat was sent miles and miles away, 202 00:11:16,900 --> 00:11:20,400 because it took the sins of the people away into a remote place. 203 00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:23,700 So the Lord Jesus Christ, can separate your sins. 204 00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:25,600 As far as the East is from the West. 205 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,800 They can be gone and it's yours if you'd like it today. 206 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,500 But if you refuse, Is it? Well then the wrath of God 207 00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:35,200 abides on you and you will be a child of Wrath and one day you 208 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,900 will endure the punishment for your sins in all of its fullness 209 00:11:38,900 --> 00:11:41,700 in Hell forever. And that really is the only 210 00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:44,900 reason I made these videos because I do not want you to go 211 00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:46,700 to hell. I want you to find the 212 00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:50,300 Forgiveness that can be found in Jesus Christ. 213 00:11:50,300 --> 00:11:54,300 Okay, you've waited long enough. Where do I personally think the 214 00:11:54,300 --> 00:11:58,100 Ark of the Covenant is located today but I don't want to offend 215 00:11:58,100 --> 00:12:01,000 anyone and just know this side. Don't have the Monopoly on 216 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,800 Truth. This is just my own personal 217 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,300 opinion but I do find it very interesting that from the point 218 00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:10,900 of second Chronicles chapter 35, never again do we hear about the 219 00:12:10,900 --> 00:12:14,400 Ark of the Covenant in all of scripture and what we know from 220 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:20,100 world history, is that in 587 BC, the Babylonians besieged, 221 00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:22,800 the city of Jerusalem, they talked it over and they 222 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,200 destroyed the temple and set the whole city Ablaze. 223 00:12:26,300 --> 00:12:29,600 So, one theory is perhaps the ark was destroyed. 224 00:12:29,700 --> 00:12:31,600 It. But another school of thought is 225 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,500 this, some people believe that the Prophet Jeremiah was warned 226 00:12:35,500 --> 00:12:37,400 by God, that this was going to happen. 227 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,800 So we took the Ark of the Covenant and he hid it in a 228 00:12:40,808 --> 00:12:43,500 secret place. Now, we have to be very careful 229 00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:45,000 with this Theory because nowhere. 230 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,200 Do we read of it in the scripture? 231 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,400 But suppose, that is the case, suppose it is hidden somewhere 232 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,900 beneath the Earth. Personally again, I'm not sure 233 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,000 that we will ever find it. Because do we really deserve to 234 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,300 find it here? We have a That is so full, and 235 00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:05,500 it is so depraved that his soul in touch with dark things. 236 00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:07,500 And we promote so many wrong things. 237 00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:11,700 Do we really deserve to handle something as sacred as the Ark 238 00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:13,900 of the Covenant? I don't think we do. 239 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,400 And as I said previously, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Ark of 240 00:13:17,408 --> 00:13:20,100 the Covenant, although it was precious at that time. 241 00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:23,400 We don't need it anymore because we have a new covenant with the 242 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,700 Lord. Jesus Christ, blood and really 243 00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:29,300 that's enough for me and I hope that's enough for you too. 244 00:13:29,300 --> 00:13:32,500 But if You are an atheist and you do have big questions and 245 00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:35,400 you want more evidence. Here is the number one question 246 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,900 that atheists always ask me check out this video because I 247 00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:41,800 hope it will answer it for you once and for all
