Bible Question: What happened to the ark of the covenant? |
Bible Answer: The last mention of the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament of Protestant Bibles is in Jermiah 3:16. Jer 3:16 "It shall be in those days when you are multiplied and increased in the land," declares the LORD, "they will no longer say, 'The ark of the covenant of the LORD.' And it will not come to mind, nor will they remember it, nor will they miss it, nor will it be made again. In Catholic Bibles it is mention in 2 Macabees 2:4-8, a passage which refers to documents not found in either the Protestant of Catholic Bible "The same document also tells how the prophet, following a divine revelation, ordered that the tent and the ark should accompany him and how he went off to the mountain which Moses climbed to see God's inheritance. When Jeremiah arrived there, he found a room in a cave in which he put the tent, the ark, and the altar of incense; then he blocked up the entrance. Some of those who followed him came up intending to mark the path, but they could not find it. When Jeremiah heard of this, he reproved them: "The place is to remain unknown until God gathers his people together again and shows them mercy. Then the Lord will disclose these things, and the glory of the Lord will be seen in the cloud, just as it appeared in the time of Moses and when Solomon prayed that the Place might be gloriously sanctified." 2 Macabees 2:4-8 http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/2maccabees/2maccabees2.htm Others have mentioned the stories of an Ark in Ethiopia that no one ever sees. |
