Answer 2

The Ark served as a holy archive for the safekeeping of sacred reminders or testimony, the principal contents being the two tablets of the testimony, or the Ten Commandments. (Ex 25:16) A “golden jar having the manna and the rod of Aaron that budded” were added to the Ark but were later removed sometime before the building of Solomon’s temple. (Heb 9:4; Ex 16:32-34; Nu 17:10; 1Ki 8:9; 2Ch 5:10) Just before Moses died, he gave a copy of the “book of the law” to the Levitical priests with instructions that it should be kept, not within, but “at the side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, . . . as a witness there against you.”—De 31:24-26.

Associated with God’s presence. The Ark was associated with God’s presence throughout its history. Jehovah promised: “I will present myself to you there and speak with you from above the cover, from between the two cherubs that are upon the ark of the testimony.” “In a cloud I shall appear over the cover.” (Ex 25:22; Le 16:2) Samuel wrote that Jehovah “is sitting upon the cherubs” (1Sa 4:4); hence the cherubs served as “the representation of the chariot” of Jehovah. (1Ch 28:18) Accordingly, “whenever Moses went into the tent of meeting to speak with [Jehovah], then he would hear the voice conversing with him from above the cover that was upon the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubs; and he would speak to him.” (Nu 7:89) Later, Joshua and High Priest Phinehas also inquired of Jehovah before the Ark. (Jos 7:6-10; Jg 20:27, 28) However, only the high priest actually entered the Most Holy and saw the Ark, one day a year, not to communicate with Jehovah, but in carrying out the Atonement Day ceremony.—Le 16:2, 3, 13, 15, 17; Heb 9:7.

In other ways the presence of Jehovah as represented by the Ark brought blessings to Israel. It was customary when Israel moved camp for the Ark with its overhead cloud to lead the way. (Nu 10:33, 34) So, at the crossing of the Jordan, when the priests carrying the Ark stepped into the river’s water, Jehovah stopped its flow, allowing them to pass. (Jos 3:1–4:18) In the line of march around Jericho, the war-equipped forces were followed by seven priests blowing horns, then the Ark, and behind was the rear guard. (Jos 6:3-13) In contrast to the victory at Jericho was the defeat suffered when certain rebels presumptuously pushed ahead in an attempt to take the Promised Land contrary to divine instructions, and when “the ark of Jehovah’s covenant and Moses did not move away from the midst of the camp.” (Nu 14:44, 45) Even the enemy Philistines recognized the presence of Jehovah when the Ark appeared on the battlefield. In their fright they cried out: “God has come into the camp [of Israel]!” “Woe to us, for such a thing as this never occurred before! Woe to us! Who will save us from the hand of this majestic God? This is the God that was the smiter of Egypt with every sort of slaughter in the wilderness.”—1Sa 4:6-8.

Jehovah’s presence continued to be demonstrated when the Philistines captured the Ark and took it to Ashdod to sit alongside the image of Dagon. That night, Dagon fell on his face; the next night he again toppled before the ark of Jehovah and his head and the palms of both of his hands were cut off. During the next seven months, as the Ark circulated among the Philistine cities, the people were plagued with piles, and the city of Ekron was plunged into “a death-dealing confusion,” until finally the Ark was returned to Israel with proper offering.—1Sa 5:1–6:12.

The fact that the Ark was associated with the presence of Jehovah demanded that due respect and high regard be given the Ark. Hence, when the Ark set out on the move and when it came to rest, Moses proclaimed words of praise to Jehovah. (Nu 10:35, 36) High Priest Eli was so shocked to hear that the Philistines had captured the Ark that he lost his balance and fell over backward, breaking his neck; also his daughter-in-law in the throes of death lamented, “Glory has gone away from Israel into exile, because the ark of the true God has been captured.” (1Sa ARK OF THE COVENANT

The sacred chest located in the Most Holy of the tabernacle and, later, in the temple built by Solomon. The Ark was made at Jehovah’s command and according to his design.

Bible writers designate the ark of the covenant in more than 20 different ways. The more common of these expressions, “the ark of the covenant [Heb., ´arohn´ hab·berith´; Gr., ki·bo·tos´ tes di·a·the´kes]” (Jos 3:6; Heb 9:4) and “the ark of the testimony” (Ex 25:22), are not peculiar to any certain writer and are used interchangeably.

Pattern and Design. The first thing Jehovah gave Moses, when instructing him to build the tabernacle, was the pattern and design of the Ark, for indeed it was the central and paramount object of the tabernacle and the whole camp of Israel. The chest itself measured 2.5 cubits long, 1.5 cubits wide, and 1.5 cubits high (c. 111 × 67 × 67 cm; 44 × 26 × 26 in.). It was made of acacia wood, overlaid inside and out with pure gold. An artistic “border of gold” served as a crowning wreath “round about upon it.” The second section of the Ark, its cover, was made of solid gold, not just wood overlaid with gold, and was the full length and breadth of the chest. Mounted on this cover were two golden cherubs of hammered workmanship, one at each end of the cover facing each other, with heads bowed and wings extending upward and overspreading the Ark. (Ex 25:10, 11, 17-22; 37:6-9) This cover was also known as the “mercy seat” or “propitiatory cover.”—Ex 25:17; Heb 9:5, ftn; see PROPITIATORY COVER.

Long poles were provided for carrying the Ark. They were also made of acacia wood covered with gold and were inserted through two rings of gold on each side of the chest. These poles were not to be removed from their rings; hence there was never a necessity for bearers of the Ark to touch it. There were four feet, “walking feet, feet bent as if for walking,” located at the corners to raise the Ark off the floor, but how high is not disclosed. (Commentary on the Old Testament, by C. F. Keil and F. Delitzsch, 1973, Vol. 1, The Second Book of Moses, p. 167) The rings may have been mounted immediately above the feet, if not on the feet themselves.—Ex 25:12-16; Nu 4:5, 15; 1Ki 8:8; 1Ch 15:15.4:18-22) King Solomon acknowledged that “the places to which the ark of Jehovah has come are something holy.”—2Ch 8:11.

Answer 7

El arca de la Alianza no se sabe de que estaba hecha, si le preguntas a los fantasmas observadores de ovnis te dirán que por la descripción era un gigantesco transmisor para hablar con los platos voladores.

Answer 8

Para mi simplemente era un amplificador con corriente eléctrica incluida, mediante el cual los levitas (sacerdotes judíos) únicos que la podían tocar, se comunicaban con la nave de yave, que durante las noches quedaba suspendida como una bola de fuego sobre el arca de la alianza. Revisa ese detalle en el cual narra que un soldado al querer ayudar para que no se caiga el arca, murió fulminado (electrocutado) cosa que no sucedía con los levitas que para cargar el arca usaban "trajes especiales".

LA PROMESA DE DIOS QUE ESTAN GRANDE QUE QUIZO MOSTRAR SU AMOR Y SU PODER

Answer 10

Dio Moises en el Monte Sinaí dos tablas del testimonio, dos tablas de piedra escritas con el dedo de Dios. Y Moises tomó el testimonio y lo puso dentro del Arca." (Libro del Éxodo). El Arca de la Alianza, el recipiente sagrado que contenía las tablas originales de los Diez Mandamientos, de acuerdo con la historia bíblica, era el objeto más hermoso y poderoso del mundo. Su longitud era de dos codos y medio, su anchura de codo y medio y su altura de codo y medio. Estaba construída de madera de acacia, enchapada del más fino oro por dentro y por fuera. Y en la cubierta había dos querubines, uno frente al otro, en silenciosa vigilia.
El Arca fue construída por los hebreos al pié del Monte Sinaí, sus planos era la descripción más detallada que se diera en el antiguo testamento, ya que, según Moises, venían directamente de Dios. Por entre las figuras colocadas en lo alto del Arca, Dios en forma de una inmensa bola de fuego se dirigía a los sumos sacerdotes. El Arca era una prueba absoluta, el ciclo y el sello de la presencia de Dios en la Tierra.

Tenía poderes legendarios: detener el curso de los ríos y aplastar montañas, infringir y destruír ejércitos enteros. Durante la campaña de Josué para tomar la ciudad de Jericó, el Antiguo Testamento narra la historia del Arca y del ejército: por seis días consecutivos un grupo elegido de sacerdotes marcho en torno a la ciudad con el Arca en hombros, al séptimo día terminaron siete veces alrededor del Arca y entonces al dejar oír sus trompetas los muros de Jericó cayeron.Besos
