[Thinkin' Gal]

3:18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.

That ought to make people forget about the ark; after all, that scene even dwarfs the Exodus:

Jeremiah 16:14-15

14 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Jeremiah 16:15 But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel [good news] of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
