Transcript

What on earth is going on? Old files from a 1988 CIA experiment have just resurfaced and I cannot believe what they claim to have found in a new shocking report. Secret CIA documents have been released on their website. Claiming that the. Ark of the Covenant has been found. Am I the only one who cannot believe what I'm hearing here? Because it sounds like it's come straight out of a Hollywood film, and yet this is a legit claim that you yourself can read on their web site, however.

I was so. Taken aback by how they claimed to have found this ancient biblical relic that I decided to investigate a little bit further. Here's the story. In 1988, the CIA allegedly conducted an experiment called Project Sunstreak, which was a secret program under the Stargate Project. This focused on using psychic abilities like telepathy and mystical energy to gather intelligence.

It trained people in remote viewing to obtain information about distant or hidden targets that couldn't be accessed by normal means. Now between you and me, I'm a little bit torn here because later in the video I'm going to tell you where I believe the ark really is. But still at the same time, we know that this kind of stuff, it does really produce results, but we also know that God cannot stand it and he will judge all those who practice such things.

OK, so take all of that into your mind and take a look at this because here they used a psychic again, this is someone who claims to have the ability to perceive things beyond the normal senses. And this psychic they referred to as Remote viewer #32 and his or her job was to try and locate the Ark of the Covenant. But check this out, the CIA didn't tell the psychic what they were searching for. They just gave them a set of coordinates and asked them to describe just what it is they saw.

What followed was a remarkable description that seemed to match the Ark of the Covenant from the Bible. According to the declassified CIA documents, Remote viewer #32 describe the object as a container fashion of wood, gold and silver decorated with A6 winged Angel. What goes through your mind when you hear that? Well, the psychic also said it was hidden in an underground dark and wet location somewhere in the Middle East and the buildings that were nearby had domed roofs.

Now let's just pause here for a minute because I know exactly what some of you are thinking. Why is this information being released now? Is it because they needed a huge news story to distract everyone from another big story, or is it because of the next piece of information I'm going to share with you shows that everything is just getting a little end time. Z listen to this. The remote viewer said. The purpose of the target is to bring people together. Does that sound familiar?

They also said it has something to do with ceremony, memory, homage and the resurrection. Even more startling was the. Claim that the object was protected by entities, meaning that some kind of mysterious guardians were looking after it, and they said they would destroy anyone who tried to open it before the time was right. Guys, I know we overuse this word insane a lot, but this truly is insane that the CIA is releasing this kind of information.

But listen to me, I'm not so sure that what the CIA have found here is honestly the Ark of the Covenant because I personally believe that someone else found it long ago. And no, it's not who you're thinking. OK so you probably mega clued up on what the Ark of the Covenant is, but just in case you aren't, for centuries the Ark of the

Covenant has been a mystery. In the Bible, the Ark was a sacred box built by the Israelites to hold the 10 commandments, the laws that were given to Moses by God. It was kept in the temple of Jerusalem, but then it disappeared in 586 BC when the Babylonians sieged the city. So here's the part you've all been waiting for. Where is the real Ark of the Covenant? And who is the Indiana Jones of today?

Well, allow me to introduce to you three people who claim that they have found it #1 Rabbi Yehuda in 1982. Rabbi Yehuda and an another one of his friends conducted a risky secret archaeological dig. Why did they have to be so private about it? Because they were digging beneath the Temple Mount. Above the Temple Mount there are a number of religious buildings that hold a lot of value and meaning to religious groups around the world. So this really was risky business.

But these two men say that they broke through into the Western Wall and they found an inner chamber that went back 28 meters. At the bottom of this chamber was the Ark of the Covenant. Now, both men claimed that they saw the Ark and they were just feet away from it, but they refused to touch it. You see, they believe that one day when the Third Temple is rebuilt, that will be the day that they bring out the Ark of the Covenant and show it to the

rest of the world. However, while these excavations were happening privately, a radio company got wind of them and leaked the information across Israel. By morning, large groups of angry protesters gathered, demanding to know how anyone could dare dig beneath the Temple Mount. As you know, the situation has been very tense since, and that's why no further excavations have been able to go on.

Number 2, the monks of Axum. In a tiny Chapel in Ethiopia, a group of monks claim that they have the Ark of the Covenant. There are a number of different stories about how the Ark arrived in Ethiopia, but the point is this these monks insist that they possess one of the most sacred objects in world history. But there is a problem. The monks. Are so secretive.

About this that they will not allow any outsider to enter the Chapel. Only one guardian monk is allowed to look at the ark and he alone is allowed to see it with his eyes. Why is this a problem? Well, because it's very difficult to test if their claims are true. One man, Edward Ullendorf, a professor of Ethiopian studies, says that he actually did get an opportunity to see the supposed ark and he he claimed it was nothing more than a wooden box built in a medieval period.

Long after the. Biblical era. So again, I want to ask you, where do you think the Ark of the Covenant is? Do you believe it's in Ethiopia? Because I know for a fact that some of you will not be. Expecting the answer. That I'm about to share with you #3 Ron. Wyatt, Ron Wyatt. Was one of the forerunners who discovered Noah's Ark in Turkey? But did he also find the other ark? Did he find the Ark of the Covenant?

Ron believed the Ark was located at what is supposed to be the Garden Tomb, just next to Calvary. He gained permission and began digging there. He made claims that he found a passageway directly beneath the crossholes where Jesus died on the cross. Beneath that place he discovered the Ark of the Covenant. Ron says that. When he found it, he also met 4 angels who told him yes you can take pictures.

Yes, you can take videos, but keep the footage in the chamber and at the appointed time you will reveal it to the rest of the world. Kind of sounds a little bit like what the CIA were claiming too, doesn't it? But. It is difficult. To say whether Ron really did find the Ark of the Covenant, because we don't have the same body of evidence that we do for his other discoveries. But again, over to you. Do you think that Ron Wyatt is really the man who found the Ark

of the Covenant? I think my answer is going to be a pretty big plot twist for some of you. But first, I am sorry to say this again, but I need to remind you that the first part of my videos that I've just shown you is just for entertainment purposes only. OK, but now it's time for the crucial part. Why is the Ark of the Covenant one of the most important objects in the world? Well first, because it was designed by God. God gave very specific instructions on how the Ark should be built.

It was overlaid both inside and outside with gold. At the bottom were 4 golden rings. These were attached to it, and through these rings were poles made of Acacia woods, which allowed the priest to carry the ark when necessary. The most beautiful of all was the atonement cover or the mercy seat. On either side of the mercy seat stood 2 golden cherubin with

their wings spread out. This was a sign that these cherubim obeyed God, and their attention was focused on the mercy seat where God met with His people. But what was inside the Ark of the Covenant? The Ark contained the 10 commandments, the very commandments written by the finger of God. Also inside was Aaron's staff and a jar of manner which reminded the people of Israel that God provided for them when they wandered in the desert for 40 years.

Why was the ark so precious? Well, if I could sum up the Bible all 31,000 verses in just one word, what word would I choose? Atonement. The Ark of the Covenant represented atonement for the sins of the people. Let me explain. The Ark's natural resting place was in the temple, in the Tabernacle of God. The Tabernacle was already a holy place, but within it was a special curtain. Behind the curtain was a place even more holy. It was called the Holy of Holies.

No one could enter behind that curtain except for the High priest, and even he could only enter one day of the year, on the Day of Atonement, also known as Yom Kippur. On Yom Kippur, when the priest entered, it was a very sacred moment. The Bible says that when the High priest entered the Holy of Holies, gods met with him there, and here the Lord of Creation hovered over the ark of the Covenant. But the fact is, this meeting with God is very different from if you and I were to meet.

The ancient biblical history goes like this. The high priest had to take very special measures before he could meet with the Lord. First he had to bathe himself and put on special garments. Then he had to sacrifice a bull as a sin offering for himself and his family, and only after he had the blood of the sacrifice, only then could he go behind the veil and meet with God. Once inside, he would take the blood and he would dip his finger in it and sprinkle it on the mercy seat.

This was to atone for his own sins and only then could he proceed to make atonement for the people of Israel. For this he took two goats. The first goat was sacrificed and just like the bull, the high priest took his blood behind the curtain and sprinkled it on the mercy seat. This was to appease the wrath of God for the many sins of the people. Then came the second goat. The high priest laid his hands on the head of the goats. This was a symbol of him transferring the sins of the

people onto the this goat. He then called upon a person called the appointed Man, who led the goat out into the wilderness and let it go free. As the goat ran away, it carried away the sins of the people, removing all these sins from the community. And that is exactly where we get the term scapegoats. So what do you think? Where is the Ark of the Covenant today and will it ever be

revealed to the world? Well, before I share my thoughts on where I think the location is, let me ask you the very, very important question. Do you see it yet? Has everything I've just shared with you? Does it ring any bells? Does it show you the truth? Well, maybe this Bible verse might shed a little light on the matter. Unlike the other high priests, He that is Jesus, does not need to offer sacrifices day after day. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when He offered Himself.

We have a new high priest, Jesus Christ. He didn't need to offer a sacrifice for himself because he was sinless. He could stand before God boldly and say, I am sinless. I present the sacrifice and never forget this. Christ's sacrifice on the cross was once for all. It was eternally sufficient to pay for our sins. His blood was presented to appease God's wrath, turning it away from us and unto himself.

This is why there is no need for these other sacrifices anymore because Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. And if you remember one thing from this video today, remember this when Christ said it is finished, the temple curtain was torn in two and that opened the way for us to boldly enter into God's presence. The price for our sins was paid and we no longer are separated from God. So will you come to Jesus today? Maybe you wanted to hear about the CIA.

Maybe you had all this information that you wanted to hear. But I'm asking you, will you accept His forgiveness? Will you come to Him and let Him separate your sin as far as the East is from the West? Will you come to the Savior today? Because if you choose to reject him or that wrath of God that we were talking about, it abides on you today and you will bear the consequences for that for all of eternity. OK, so where do I think the Ark of the Covenant is?

Well remember this I'm just your average Joe, I'm just a guy on the Internet. So this is just my opinion and you take all of the information yourself and you come up with your own opinion on where you think it is. But with that being said after Second Chronicles 35 the ark pretty much disappears from scripture. And in 587 BC the Babylonians, they went into the holy lands

and they destroyed the temple. And some believe that the Ark was destroyed at that time, whilst others say the prophet Jeremiah knew what was going to happen and so he went and hid it in some cave before the invasion. But hey now here's my opinion and I'm not going to lie to you. It's a little bit of a plot twist.

I believe there's someone who does have the ark right now, and I believe that someone is God. As I said, since the book of Chronicles, we don't hear anything about the Ark of the Covenant until we reach the Book of Revelation and there it says that it's in heaven. This is what the Scripture says. Revelation 11, verse 19. Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and within His temple was seen the Ark of the Covenant. So come on guys, talk to me.

I might be way off on this one and I don't know how you interpret that verse, but it seems to me that we might never find it on earth. Why? Because God tells us it's in heaven. But also guys, don't forget this. There's no scriptural evidence that the ark was ever hidden on earth. And even if it was, do we really deserve to find it in this world where we are so anti God, where we're so against the Lord God? Do we deserve to hold such a

holy thing? And besides, we don't need the Ark anymore because we have a new covenant in Jesus Christ blood and that is good enough for me. And I hope you'll say that's also good enough for me too.

Joe, I am sorry if you've heard a lot of this information before as I had to revisit an older video that I made two years ago on the Ark of the Covenant. And I know that many of you will actually watch this and disagree with me because you personally believe that Ron Wyatt did find the Ark of the Covenant and you're wondering why I'm saying I don't think he has found it.

Well, I do want to say this. I believe Ron Wyatt found some of the most incredible biblical recoveries in the world, and I've made loads of videos about it. If you want to see which ones, click here.
