You know what I never understood about that movie? We have this long adventure and journey to find the ark, but Indy told Marion to not look at it, they had to keep their eyes shut. How did Indy expect to open and study the ark himself, if you experience death of you look at it??

Maybe it only did it to Nazis.

The TRUE Ark with the Throne of Grace - Jesus Christ - is in Heaven at the right hand of the Father dispensing the New Covenant of grace replacing the vanished Old Covenant about which the Lord found fault (Hebrew 8:7-8, 13) and its ark.

Rick and Marty are still punching massive holes in the ground looking for it. No joy so far.

Amy Farrah Fowler pointed out:

“Indiana Jones plays no role in the outcome of the story. If he weren’t in the film, it would turn out exactly the same… If he weren’t in the movie, the Nazis would still have found the Ark, taken it to the island, opened it up, and all died, just like they did.”

Here’s a decent rebuttal:

Once it becomes inevitable that the Ark should be removed from its resting place, the only suitable ending is for it to wind up in another resting place where it will never again be disturbed. And it never would have made it to the unnamed warehouse without the efforts of the redoubtable Dr. Jones.

Very odd that the author of the piece would refer to a Church with 50,000,000 faithful and existing already almost 2,000 years as an “obscure group” and a “sect”. There are more Christians in Ethiopia than in almost any European country (except Italy, Germany, and Russia). Would he say “the obscure Irish Catholic Church” or the “obscure Swedish Lutheran Church” sect?

The Ark of the Covenant in Axum? Some think so. I’ve read about the story. In my opinion, it is not very important whether it is or not. It will be where it needs to be when the time comes.

In 1993 a book named “The Sign and the Seal” was written by Graham Hancock. I bought it then, it’s in my library.

Here is a short review of the book:

You know, this is spooky weird, but I had a dream last night about the Ark of the Covenant in which I was talking to a Jewish guy who laughed and said,

“The Kohanim have the Ark. They have always had it. Does anyone really think the Jews would somehow misplace the most Holy of all Holy objects? The Ark will stay hidden until the Third Temple is built and consecrated, after which the Kohanim will convey it to its proper place.”

Weird...

The best book on the subject is “The Search for the Ark of the Covenant” by Randall Price.

The honest answer nobody likes to hear is “no one knows.”

And no, it’s not in Ethiopia. They have a Middle Ages Christian treasure chest behind that veil.

He figured that they were digging in the wrong place. Also, they followed him to Marion in Tibet, where that one doctor burned his hand on that staff head.
