Bible Question (short): Consider Rev 11:19 |
Question (full): This is a good question, now consider Revelation 11:19, where we clearly see an Ark of the Covenant in the heavenly tabernacle. Many feel this is the original from which Moses patterned his Ark from. Ex25:9 That may be, but could it not also be the actual Ark that Moses constructed, kept safe in Heaven to one day return to earth? I would see no reason for an Ark of the Covenant to be in Heaven since the Covenant was between God and man. God needed no reminder of the covenant, but man did. Hence he was given the Ark and mercy seat. Now if there is an Ark in heaven could it be that God to preserve it removed the Ark from man’s presence? We see God’s Glory leave the temple in Ezekiel 10 is it not also be possible that God removed the Ark and mercy seat at that time? |
