Though there are other covenant threads, I picked this one as it is more in line with my thoughts on the subject. It's always been my belief that
Christianity is linked to beings from elsewhere...and the Ark Of The Covenant surely fits that theory!
The Ark of the Covenant is one of the most frightening artifacts described in all of biblical history. The Ark of the Covenant was designed as a chest
- vessel - box - or container. It was allegedly the chest in which Moses placed the Ten Commandments.
The Ark measures two cubits and a half in length, a cubit and a half in breadth, and a cubit and a half in height. It is made of setim wood (an
incorruptible acacia), it was overlaid within and without - with pure gold, and a golden crown or rim ran around it.
At the four corners, very likely towards the upper part, four golden rings had been cast. Through them passed two bars of setim wood overlaid with
gold, to carry the Ark. These two bars - rods - were to remain always in the rings, after the Ark had been placed in the temple of Solomon. [The bar
are electromagnetic rods. The rings are metaphors for the spheres linked to harmonics and the Tree of Life - Qabbalah - the tones of creation.]
The cover of the Ark, termed the 'propitiatory' (the corresponding Hebrew word means both "cover" and "that which makes propitious"), was
likewise of the purest gold. [Gold refers to alchemy - the transition of consciousness.]
Upon the chest were two cherubim of beaten gold, looking towards each other, and spreading their wings so that both sides of the propitiatory were
covered. (hmmmmm.......Wings = a metaphor for ascension or the return to higher levels of frequency consciousness).
What exactly these cherubim were, is impossible to determine; however, from the analogy with Egyptian religious art, it may well be supposed that they
were images, kneeling or standing, of winged persons. It is worth noticing that this is the only exception to the law forbidding the Israelites to
make carved images, an exception so much the more harmless to the faith of the Israelites in a spiritual God because the Ark was regularly to be kept
behind the veil of the sanctuary. (Veils mask or hide information. Soon they will be lifted).
The form of the Ark of the Covenant was probably inspired by some article of the furniture of the Egyptian temples. But it should not be represented
as one of those sacred bari, or barks, in which the gods of Egypt were solemnly carried in procession; it had, very likely, been framed after the
pattern of the naos of gold, silver, or precious wood, containing the images of the gods and the sacred emblems. Jewish legend also refers to the
intermittent appearance of a “cloud” between the cherubim, at which time the Ark was considered so dangerous that even Moses would not approach
it. References tell us that the “fire” which emerged from the Ark was preceded by a “glow” which the Bible describes as the “glory of the
Lord”. It appears that when the Ark of the Covenant was in this state, it was dangerous and not able to be controlled as witnessed by Moses’ own
nephews:
And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them in censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire
before the Lord, which he commanded them not. And there went out a fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord. [Lev. 10:1-2]
This passage is of great interest, as it differentiates between two types of fire – the “fire” generated by the Lord and the “strange fire”
made by the two nephews of Moses. This peculiar incident does not make sense in religious terms and is certainly not repeated anywhere else in the
Bible. If we look at this in scientific terms, then the passage makes sense if the censer they carried was made of a conductive metal which could
attract an electrical charge.
So.....the object's design essentially made it a giant capacitor, capable of storing electrical energy. "Gold is one of the best conductors of
electricity there is, while wood is one of the best insulators. If the Israelites had set out to construct a primitive accumulator, they could hardly
have picked a better design than the Ark to accumulate and release an electrical charge.
Why would an omnipotent god need the Israelites to have such an object!?
