My theory has always been that God placed it under that big hunk of rock in Mecca.
Hmmm. I read that as making it certain a treasure hunter will find it.
Some day.
HA HA that good one Debka puhlised in 1648 LOL!
I thought James Woods was in the boxes
That Family Guy joke LOL!
Oak Island is pretty freaky!
Who dug that hole and kept filling it with platforms???
and did it hundreds of years ago
Shocked it took 23 posts for that pic.
Oak Island has fascinated me for decades. I read the same Reader’s Digest article that the current excavators read in the 60s. I’ve been hooked ever since. If their money holds out, I think they have a shot.
There were actually three very significant things in the Ark; the tablets of stone, written by the finger of God; Aaron’s rod that budded, and an ephod of manna from the wilderness trek. Each has a significant thing to teach Christians about ‘born again life’ ...
Just because some jealous con tossed several books from the Bible, doesn’t make them “non-Biblical”.
His excuse was that there was no corresponding Hebrew text to make them cannonical.
The Dead Sea Scrolls proved that conclusion wrong.
“Two non-Biblical sources, 2 Maccabees and Parilipomena of Jeremiah, stated that the sacred objects from the temple were hidden by Jeremiah before the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar.”

Unfortunately, this series, like all reality shows, was shot months ago, if not longer. If anything like a substantial historical artifact or treasure was found, it would have been headline news all over the world. That said, I still enjoy the show because it shows me scenes of the hole never before shown to the public, and, it is still a mind boggling mystery as far as who built it, and why?
Absolutely.

But what happened to the pot of manna and Arron’s rod?
1Ki 8:9
There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
This is Jewish text, not Christian. No Messiah yet.
And the prophet Jeremiah tells us it will not be remembered or called to mind.
‘Perhaps’ the answer is found in just who opened the chestthat was not a member of Aaron’s Levitical Priesthood.
That would be the people who received the ARK when the Philistines found it was too hot to handle.
Note that they took cattle with calves, tied up the calves, placed the Ark on a cart and the cows pulled it to the Hebrews who then opened the Ark.
No cow will leave her calf, so these were signs to the Philistines that it was God’s will the ARK be returned to the Hebrews.
At least the ancients didn’t know about Area 51.
