Picture above is a reflection replica objects that most feared in the
period of Old Testament.
Santiri portrayed At least that is how it was so strong and very
influential to the Children of Israel since the exodus out of the land of
Egypt. However, the objects, is now has gone by the time, away from
history, and there was no one who knew which is now. Postinganku this time will
try to deal with history of the object.
Starting from
Jerusalem, the City that may be too sacred to many people. In the middle lies a
hill named Mount Moriah, which is now to this site Dome of the Rock / Qubbah-Sakhrah as an extraordinary event.
In addition Dome of the Rock, dikompleks (Al-Haram-Sharif) there are Masjidil
Haram Intifada. From here, Muhammad saas offered up to heaven (Sidratul
Muntaha) in the Mi'raj (ascension. Long Before that, Issa Jesus/s heal the
blind and the sick here, so for the Christians also call for holy
land. 1000 years previously, King Solomon's preaching to build the temple
originally in this mountain to keep things mysterious which is called the Ark
of the Covenant or the Ark of the covenant which contains Ten Commandments (10)
command from God.
Dome of the Rock / Qubbah-Sakhrah
At that time, this
place is the center of Jewish religion. How the ark, until here and how it
could be gone from here? It is a puzzle that invite obsession. What
has happened to the old testament things more important in this so that it
could be gone?
The stories the
Ark, which began more than 3000 years ago. One lead 2 million people to Sinai
Desert. Divine intervention is needed on a scale that extraordinary and he
will get it. They were Moses
Musa/ who led his people out of slavery in Egypt, Three months
have walked division of the red sea after the miracles ofthe ark is divided the red sea
divided 2, Presiding over the Ark was borne, overijssel by priests into the bed
of the Jordan, the river was separated, opening a an anaerobic process where
for the whole of the host to pass over (Josh. 3:15-16; 4:7-18)), He
brought the children of Israel to Mount Sinai. God would pour out a
gift that there had never been to the people.
Of the
hundreds existing law in the Old Testament all seems sent down from a
place. But not with 10 major law that has been brought Moses came down
from Mount Sinai. There are ten commandments which was sent to Moses on Mount
Sinai, and the orders written on two stone tablets Moses also made a./a
vessel, which is used to store the ten commandments which was conveyed to him
in the Mount Sinai ,which is what we call as the Ark of the Covenant.
The Ark was made very specific, tangible crate with a length 1.2 meters, the
width 61 cm, and was 61 cm. Made of wood hard material called acacia (known
orleh the Egyptians as wood from the tree of life, the outside and it gilded
with pure gold. The corners the ark had no 4 gold wedding ring, where
poles which also gilded with gold can be put to bring the Ark. He Closed that
is also referred to as "a footstool god" must also made of pure gold,
where a statue angels winged gold (the cherubim) are also placed at the ends of
the above and face each other.
The Ark, working as a
continuation directly to Moses at God. (whether a means of
communication between the stars spt told bung Spitzen?) will appear bright
clouds above closed gold in between the cherubim, when God wanted to convey a
to his servants. God commanded only ministers from the tribe of Levi,
who can bring. Weight the ark, perhaps several hundred pounds, but
according to legend he can be lifted himself even though there is no
one who picked him up.
There is no one, even a minister
that were numbered of the Levites may be I stared at her. So, they are always
covered it with garment of blue, and skins of animals. Since
the beginning, the ark had appeared dangerous side. a few days later , the
two nephews Moses tried to contribute to the Ark, and both of them directly
died in the flames. The cherubim According to legend, sprinkle upon without
stopping, burned up the objects touch it. The Ark, accompanied by the
house of Israel 40 years old him while they wander around and fought with
the ark., the children of Israel to be able to conquer promised
land. Things are contained power and interests that are not terbayangkan,
According to the story in the Bible Jews, the ark, it was brought in
before the troops in every battle, every battle during capture the children of
Israel will land of Canaan. He is constantly being brought
in the war to an enemy can defeat and the Ark will always be in the front
line. There are no records extraordinary that the ark was lifted up from the
ground. fly toward pointed toward an enemy, and bring those voices a groan like
lightning.
One
person malang called Uzzah, only intended to stabilize the Ark is
currently appears to be moved when raised by the ministers Levi, and he
immediately died in the flames. Besides, Moses ordered in order to create
tent/tents to put the Ark. Not to protect them from the man, but it is the
other way around. First military victory and the most well-known
from the ark, namely the collapse the wall of the
city Jericho/Jericho. Who were on duty Ministers Levi took the Ark,
moved it around walled city , once a day for 6 days. On the day
to-7, they went around 7 times and blew sengkala At once the wall of the
city were also collapsed.
300 Years later,
the Ark, from the Children of Israel and the impact is very bad for them. High
priests ignore obligations When they sacrifice, the Ark, did not
protect them in the war against the Philistines. 30 Thousand people were
killed and the Philistines took the ark. However, the seven
months later the Philistines bring him back. A pandemic tumors and mice spread
of the Ark.
Finally, under King
David ( Dawud And ), Israel would be able to defeat the Philistines,
and they win last defense of its opponents. Then, the City Jerusalem,
which were used as the capital. God told David established the Temple to
place the ark, but his son Solomon's preaching that mebangunnya. Because
this case, Mount Moriah highest point" to "in the city .
Solomon's Temple for
vision, it is not like a man has ever seen. Only wood and stone cedar best that
are used to make it, and the focal point high soaring up to
20-storey. Solomon owed to raise it up, so he must give 20
villages front for the kingdom's neighbors. After examining still contains
two stone ten commandments of God that are stored in the Ark, Solomon and
placed them in the middle of Tabernacles and It is Only Holy One high
priests that can be approached and entered storage space, even then, they must
check-in by using special clothes (special clothes what yah kira2?)
to burn incense holder.
Then, how about things that contains the presence of God can
pass away? Now, where is the ark is? It is a puzzle its biggest .
Many people are still
looking for the ark until this time, and it started from the Temple built
Solomon as a place to keep the Ark. But now, there is nothing artifacts or
stone that show where exactly the ark stood on the Mountain Temple Jerusalem.
Wailing Wall, the famous perhaps now is a valuable Jewish holy site. The wall
is a remnant of the Temple was the second built over the centuries after the
ark will disappear. Some worshippers here waiting for it is time companions of
the Hill Temple Dome of the Rock for Islam and the Temple was destroyed.
Jews to-3 will be established in the area. This is one of the factors that cause great without stopping disputes
between Israel and the Palestinians until now. (no politics here)
According to Perjanijian
for a long time, the Ark were placed there around 955 BC. But, in around 620 BC
the reference about artifacts more important in Jewish religion was
stopped. Will Vanish as soon as it from history. Only one thing is clearly
the only, the crisis of bencara internal and external that can bring the Ark of
the Temple. The first Back in accordance with this is Egyptian pharaohs attacks
called Shishak, a few years after the Temple was built by a scenario is
Illogical Shishak. it is this inspires Indiana Jones adventure in Egypt in the
movie Indiana Jones : Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Resources Egyptian
pharaohs stressed that named Sheshonq that attack Israel in around 1000 BC, and
brought much wealth Of course, to Tanis. our heroes, Indiana Jones found
the ark in there while pursue by NAZI army. But unfortunately for the
fans Stephen Spielberg, it seems clear Sheshonq never
city Jerusalem. Because He only is satisfied with you to
send a heap wealth and tribute in order not to attack Jerusalem. What is
referred to as their property and tribute was the ark of the covenant? How
big is not likely?
The answer is
simple, but if he is not. It is impossible for them willing to objects
tersucinya. Moreover, the reference that the ark is still being in the
Temple Jewish Passover Holy time in the era of Hosea in around 620 BC. But 30
years later, in 587 BC, appeared condition, according to many scholars explain
the disappearance the ark. Its Temple City and been occupied and
plundered the Babylonian led by the king Nebuchadnezzar well-known. It appears
that the ark was brought in by the military Babylonia. But wait a minute,
the Babylonian Empire was bureaucrats and recorder that are very good and they
detail everything that is taken from the Temple. One thing that is clearly
not noted that the Ark of the Covenant, the objects in the Temple. The
Babylonian Empire is not their cuneiform (wedge-shaped) among spoil because it
was not there. So, where the ark?
Perhaps there is no one knows
where in this time, and they are. However, there was hope critical for all who
believe that the Ark, there are still in the world and has not been destroyed.
There may be a person who is astute enough menyelundupakan the ark went out of
the Temple before danger to condition.
