The Ark That Indiana Jones Couldn’t Raid : The "Battery" of the Holy Temple
This class is all about the Holy Ark, which contained the “Ten Commandments”, and the Cherubim that were placed on top of it. Discover some incredible details about this most sacred Jewish artifact–including what its true function was (and is!), as well as where we believe it is presently hidden.

God is with us now. If you live in Israel or visit our Israelite Nation you would see and know that God has, is and will guide us. We do not have to wait for the Ark for God's presence. We, the Jewish people are the repository of God. Reply
