Aug. 11, 2009 - High School History Studies in Biblical Archeology--Real Raiders of the Lost Ark |
Perhaps your homeschool high schooler is getting a bit bored, and you are concerned that they aren't learning much this summer. What could be more intellectually tantalizing than a search for the real biblical Ark of the Covenant? However, beware, Ark raiders: is our desire for the glory of God, or for money? Explore these resources to get you started.

Popular Mechanics magazine article on the search for copper scroll treasure, as well as the Arc of the Covenant, www.popularmechanics.com/science/research/1281756.html

Is there a real life Vendyl "Indiana" Jones searching for the ark--or is he a fraud? jdstone.org/cr/files/noahide_fiction/vendyljones_exposed.html
And what about Ron Wyatt? Has he discovered the ark? crossfaithministry.org/ark.html
Or is the Arc of the Covenant, or a copy of it, really in Ethiopia, as Bob Cornuke claims in this article at World Net Daily, www.wnd.com/index.php
For now, I don't see credible evidence that conclusively proves the Ark has been found. If the stories are true, the evidence is not being shared with the general public. Why does all this matter? How would a confirmed discovery of the Ark of the Covenant change the political and religious balance in the middle east and the entire world? Will a new Jewish Temple be built, igniting an apocalyptic war?
Answers in Genesis reminds us that "The Bible does not say we should ‘believe all things,’ but rather that we should ‘prove all things’ (1 Thessalonians 5:21). Neither does it encourage a gullible approach toward those claiming the name of Christ. Rather, it warns about wolves among the flock, and also teaches that the heart of man is deceitful and depraved (Jeremiah 17:9).
As in other areas, extraordinary claims carry an extraordinary burden of proof. There is already a huge amount of archaeological and other evidence consistent with the truth of the Bible. Bible-believing experts exist in many fields, such as the archaeologist author of our article on Jericho (The walls of Jericho). They are always glad to assess and publicize actual evidence of genuine finds (there have been many over the years) supporting the historicity of the Bible."-- www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v21/i2/ark.asp
We don't need to find the Ark, to find God's Covenant. Look in your Bible, Exodus 20, to find the Ten Commandments. Through the Commandments, the Law of God, comes the knowledge of sin. We don't need temple sacrifices of animal blood for sin. Whether the Ark of the Covenant has been found or not, Jesus the Christ has already paid the sacrifice for sin for all who receive Him. So what do you think? |
