Has The Ark Of The Covenant Been Found?
November 17, 2023
The more archeologists dig into Biblical history, the more they confirm the Bible is 100% accurate.
There are so many stories of some pinhead scientist or archeologist saying something in the Bible couldn’t possibly be true, until….a new discovery is made and suddenly all the dots line up and make perfect sense!
It’s so fun to investigate things like the location of the Garden of Eden (more on that below)….
The location and final resting place of Noah’s Ark…. https://100percentfedup.com/has-the-ark-of-the-covenant-been-found/
It is possible that Noah’s Ark has been found. I posted about that earlier this week (see Scientists announce site of Noah’s Ark?). Furthermore, a reader later sent me a link that had additional insight into tests by John Larsen to further check location of Noah’s Ark.
After seeing this post, in an email to me dated 12/03/23, John Larsen wrote:
The equipment that I have, which I used to scan Noah’s ark, is electrical resistivity imaging … Radar has a limited depth of usually about 8 metres max, whereas my equipment can hit 38 metres and run in 3d. Electrical resistivity works by injecting a high voltage electrical charge into the ground and measuring how much of it reaches another pair of electrodes further away. Different materials tend to also display different electrical properties and cavities prevent the flow of electricity. It’s an entirely different technology to radar which measures the reflection from an acoustic shock wave. Resistivity imaging has been around for a long time in the mining and oil industries.

That said, the article at the beginning of this post switched to discuss the Ark of the Covenant:
The Ark is real and it ended up somewhere! …
The Ark of the Covenant, according to various historical and religious sources, has been speculated to have ended up in several locations. …
Is the Ark actually under the Temple Mount in Jerusalem?
Does that explain why there’s so much conflict there?
Sure does make sense to me! https://100percentfedup.com/has-the-ark-of-the-covenant-been-found/
Well, the Temple Institute has tended to believe that is where the Ark of the Covenant is (see Might the Temple Institute know the location of the Ark of the Covenant?).
Others think that is the location, as the following old article from World Net Daily indicates:
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. 09/22/12 https://www.wnd.com/2012/09/ark-of-covenant-resting-beneath-temple-mount/
Now, let me state that the Bible shows that well after Solomon’s sons would have died, that the Ark was still in Jerusalem:
35:1 Now Josiah kept a Passover to the LORD in Jerusalem, and they slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the first month. 2 And he set the priests in their duties and encouraged them for the service of the house of the LORD. 3 Then he said to the Levites who taught all Israel, who were holy to the LORD: “Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, built. It shall no longer be a burden on your shoulders. Now serve the LORD your God and His people Israel (2 Chronicles 35:1-3).
Josiah was the sixteenth king of Judah and reportedly reigned from c. 640–609 BCE. Thus, if the Ark of the Covenant possibly made it to Ethiopia like many claim, it was not until well AFTER the Ethiopians normally claim it first came there. Although some claim that the claimed son of Solomon replaced the real ark with a fake and took the real ark. That contradicts the above which refers to the ark as “the holy ark”–a fake ark would not be described as holy.
And if it was, maybe it first was in Egypt and moved by Jewish leaders, like Robert Cornuke seems to believe. That may be at least biblically plausible. But, I and others are not convinced.
The first direct reference to the ark of the covenant in the Bible is in the Book of Exodus:
10 “And they shall make an ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits shall be its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height. 11 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and shall make on it a molding of gold all around. 12 You shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in its four corners; two rings shall be on one side, and two rings on the other side. 13 And you shall make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. 14 You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, that the ark may be carried by them. 15 The poles shall be in the rings of the ark; they shall not be taken from it. 16 And you shall put into the ark the Testimony which I will give you. (Exodus 25:10-16)
The Bible is clear that the Ark of the Covenant is or will be in heaven:
19 Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail. (Revelation 11:19)
It has been suggested that the physical ark of the covenant, that the children of Israel had, was patterned on one in heaven, thus it could still be on earth.
Some say that Zion was really on the eastern side of Jerusalem, and thus, that may be where the Ark could be or end up.
As I have long written, if the Ark of the Covenant exists on the earth, a location in the land of Israel seems to make the most sense.
One concern that I have had is that if the Ark of the Covenant is found, this could possibly get more of the Jews to support the ecumenical, end-time religion that will call itself ‘Catholic.’ This would be consistent with biblical (Revelation 13:4,8; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) and even some non-biblical prophecies.
Some claim that Donald Trump has the Ark of the Covenant. Notice the following tweet:
ALERT: DONALD TRUMP HAS ACQUIRED THE ARK OF THE COVENANT.
I REPEAT: DONALD TRUMP HAS ACQUIRED THE ARK OF THE COVENANT https://t.co/9ZXbH28zIh— Chairman (@LRH_Superfan) July 18, 2023
Anyway, no I do not believe that Donald Trump has it. This would have resulted in massive outrage from Israel and elsewhere, if this was true. Plus it would be likely that Donald Trump would have made some statement related to actually having it.
What about the location of the Garden of Eden?
Here are the first passages in the Bible that mention Eden:
8 The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. 9 And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads. 11 The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirts the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and the onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which goes around the whole land of Cush. 14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it is the one which goes toward the east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates. (Genesis 2:8-14)
So, has anyone found it?
Some think its location has been identified:

Did We Just Discover The Location Of The Garden Of Eden?
Some of you may know Rob Skiba. …
Have you ever wondered where the Garden of Eden is?
If you’ve ever sat down to read your Bible and you start with Genesis, you start reading along and you find out the Bible tells you EXACTLY where it is.
It’s at the intersection of 4 Rivers.
So naturally after you read that in Genesis you think I want to go look that up on a map.
The problem becomes only two of those rivers are still with us.
The third is a dried up river.
And the fourth is a bit more of a mystery.
So you have some clues there but you quickly run into some dead ends.
Rob talks about all of that … He connects dots you’ve never even thought of before, but by the time you get to the end of this 11 minute clip, I think your mind is going to be blown.
As always, it’s all right there in front of us in Scripture, you just have to know what you’re looking for.
And in this particular case, it has everything to do with a place called “Shecham”. https://100percentfedup.com/has-the-ark-of-the-covenant-been-found/
The above is also spelled slightly differently in English language translation of the Bible. Here are the first two biblical references to that location:
6 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, as far as the terebinth tree of Moreh. And the Canaanites were then in the land. (Genesis 12:6)
18 Then Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan Aram; and he pitched his tent before the city. (Genesis 33:18)
Here is some of what the Encyclopedia Britannica says about it:
Shechem, Canaanite city of ancient Palestine, near Nablus. The two locations have been closely—though erroneously—equated for almost 2,000 years: both rabbinic and early Christian literature commonly equated Nablus with ancient Shechem, and Nablus has been called Shekhem in Hebrew to the present, but Shechem’s ruins lie at a site just east of Nablus.
Shechem was important in ancient Palestine because of its position in an east-west pass between Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal (Arabic: Jabal al-Ṭūr and Jabal ʿAybāl, respectively), one of the few such routes in Palestine’s hill country. …
The city is mentioned in Egyptian documents of the 19th century bce. During the rule of the Hyksos kings of Egypt (16th–17th century bce), Shechem was a strong walled city with a triple gate, a fortress-temple, and an acropolis. Some of the sites specifically mentioned in the Book of Judges have tentatively been identified by archaeologists. https://www.britannica.com/place/Shechem-ancient-Canaanite-city accessed 11/17/23
Whether or not the location of the Noah’s Ark, the Ark of the Covenant, or the Garden of Eden have been definitively found, the public confirmation of any of them may have prophetic ramifications.
Of course, for those of us who believe the Bible, no further proof or confirmation is needed. But for some who have heard statements from pseudo-archaeologists that deny the biblical accounts, it may be helpful for them to realize that as time goes on, more and more archaeological evidence surfaces that supports the Bible.
Some items of possibly related interest may include:
Biblical Archaeology This is a website that has more information on biblical archeological as is sometimes known as the Bib Arch site.
Have the Turks and Chinese Just Found Noah’s Ark? Some have so claimed–see also Scientists announce site of Noah’s Ark? If this is publicly confirmed, could this change how much of the world views events from the Bible?
Church of God on Jerusalem’s Western Hill Could this building, often referred to as the Cenacle, which is located on a Mount Zion, possibly have been the oldest actual Christian church building? There is also a video titled Might the oldest church building have prophetic ramifications?
Why is a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem Not Required? Although people like Timothy LaHaye teach a third Jewish temple is required, who is ‘the temple of God” in the New Testament? Does the Bible require a rebuilt Jewish Temple? Here is a related item in the Spanish language ¿Por qué no se requiere un templo judío en Jerusalén? Here is a link to two sermons The Temple, Prophecy, and the Work and God’s Temple in Prophecy. And here is a version of the latter one in the Spanish: El templo de Dios en profecía.
Nascent Sanhedrin and Prophecy The reconstituted Sanhedrin wants the reimplementation of animal sacrifices. A related video is titled Sanhedrin pushing animal sacrifices. And a newer one is: Sanhedrin makes burnt offering to dedicate altar!
The Red Heifer, Jewish Beliefs, and the End of the World The Temple Institute is watching a ‘red heifer.’ Why might this be important in the sequence of end time events? Here is a related link in the Spanish language Novilla roja descubierta en EE.UU. e Instituto del Templo está interesado en ella. Here are links to three related videos in English: Red Heifers and the Fate of the World and The Red Heifer and the End of the World and 5 Red Heifers and Year 5783? and Red Heifer Sacrifice Ready April 2024? Here is a link to a video in the Spanish language: La novilla roja y su posible implicación profetica.
