It's also a well known fact in the UFO circles such as MUFON that alot of alien space ships such as the flying "saucer" ships are powered by a non-existent extremely unstable radioactive isotope nuclear engine. So it's not hard to imagine that's precisely what the Ark of the Covenant is. It looks and seems alien because it is in fact alien technology... only broken and needs to be properly disposed of. Though to me, I'd say it's quite possible that the later X-Files episodes say after season four or five and the six episode mini-season back in January of this year it's Illuminati/Freemason agents giving out facts masked as simple Hollywood entertainment about these Grays and possibly their Masters. I did say in a number of past GLP threads that most likely the full UFO Disclosure so many people are so anxious for has been well underway through Hollywood movies and TV shows but more or less thinly veiled alien details in such Hollywood productions. It struck me very deeply and curiously too just how these six X-Files episodes were so hell-bent on discussing the Gray alien menace and grave threat to all of Humanity, and even more so talking in great lengths and detail about the Illuminati and Freemason's plans for total enslavement of Humanity as a species. So much of the first episode's discussion of such matters has been thoroughly discussed and buried here on GLP as real world matters. I have to seriously wonder if the very near future stuff in that first episode are really on the verge of happening in real life.

In the New Testament, the Ark of the Covenant is a person - the Virgin Mary - who literally housed God within her body for 9 months. The intersecting thing is that the Church Fathers believe that the Old Testament Ark of the Covenant is not destroyed but only hidden in a cave on Mt. Nebo in modern day Jordan by Jeremiah, and that during the end times the Ark will be miracously rediscovered by the descent of the Divine Presence in dazzling light, like the theophany at Sinai, after the eschatological ingathering of the Jews to the land of Israel. All other options, such as that the Ark was hidden beneath the Temple Mount, carried off to Axum in Ethiopia, was captured by the Babylonians, or destroyed, should therefore be discounted, since Sacred Scripture itself tells us its exact location. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71944419 In the New Testament, the Ark of the Covenant is a person - the Virgin Mary - who literally housed God within her body for 9 months. The intersecting thing is that the Church Fathers believe that the Old Testament Ark of the Covenant is not destroyed but only hidden in a cave on Mt. Nebo in modern day Jordan by Jeremiah, and that during the end times the Ark will be miracously rediscovered by the descent of the Divine Presence in dazzling light, like the theophany at Sinai, after the eschatological ingathering of the Jews to the land of Israel. All other options, such as that the Ark was hidden beneath the Temple Mount, carried off to Axum in Ethiopia, was captured by the Babylonians, or destroyed, should therefore be discounted, since Sacred Scripture itself tells us its exact location. For the faithful I am sure you are correct . . . You mean you're not faithful?? Man that's a shame. I can sure see where the saying comes from "When one stops believing in God, will believe in anything" ;) And speaking of the dwelling/temple of God, by the new Covenant of righteousness each of use can literally house God within. Maybe not in such an outwardly dramatic way, but often pretty dramatic in transformation none the less. I did not say I was not one of the faithful. I do however not think everything . . . especially in the Old Testament is fully understood by theologians of any specific demonination or faith group. Being faithful does not make one right in all details. That's very true; carry on. |

I have also read that the Ark is currently in Ethiopia sitting in one of those underground churches, and only "high priests" have access to the area. |
