The Ark of the Covenant also known as the Ark of the Testimony or the Ark of God, is believed to be the most sacred relic of the Israelites and described as a wooden chest, covered in pure gold, with an elaborately designed lid called the mercy seat. According to the Book of Exodus, the Ark contained the two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. According to the New Testament Book of Hebrews, it also contained Aaron’s rod and a pot of manna.

I don’t know why men still search for the Ark of the Covenant. According to the Bible, 1 Sam. 6:19, God smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the Ark of the Lord.

In 2 Sam. 6:6-7, God struck Uzzah because he reached out and took hold of the Ark because the oxen had stumbled. So if men were not allowed to touch the Ark then, why look for it now?

The Ark of the Covenant could only be carried by Levites. They had to carry the Ark upon their shoulders with staves thereon. According to Chronicles 15:14-16. Touching the Ark itself would result in death of the hands of God.

Where is the Ark of the Covenant now? According to Ethiopian tradition, the Ark of the Covenant is preserved in the ancient holy city of Aksum.

According to Jeremiah 3:16, it said, And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the Lord, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Lord: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
