Thanks! I will watch when I get a chance . . .

Supports my idea of a radioactive source in the Ark . . .

"
(3) Medically, other figures of interest are the dose that will kill virtually no one, (LD5), and the dose that will kill virtually every one (LD95). Approximations of those doses are within the ranges 200-300 cGy (free in air) and 600-700 cGy (free in air), respectively.

b. Radiation-Induced Early Incapacitation.

(1) The focus of animal studies has been the incapacitation of the subhuman primate, since the incapacitation response has military relevance and the response of primates seems most like a human's response after acute wholebody irradiation. For high radiation doses (in excess of 1000 cGy), early transient incapacitation (ETI) occurs on average within 5 to 10 minutes after acute whole-body irradiation. With lowering the dose the median time of ETI occurrence increases up to 12 to 15 minutes. Typical duration of ETI is of the order of 15 minutes. Performance decrement in the monkey has been evaluated for numerous behavioral takes after whole-body and partial-body irradiation for various radiation qualities and dose rates. Several generalizations have emerged from these studies."

Dealing with the Ark has always been serious business, by which mechanism of death I'm not exactly sure:

"The LORD's anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore God struck him down, and he died there beside the ark of God."

Yes, sounds like a very dangerous thing to be near . . . does it not? It was never allowed within several hundreds of feet from the soldiers or other people . . . just the especially clothed priests and then for only a short time period. . .

12. A combination of several ancient stories that coalesced into one recognizable form
 Quoting: George B


I chose number five. However, from what I've read about the Ark of the Covenant in many different publications over the years it's description makes it sound as though it's a deeply broken capacitor or space ship engine core. The widely publicized radiation sickness symptoms of those who have even been near the thing makes me lean to "ancient broken space ship drive core". Seeing how amazingly powerful it's giving off it's electrical charges and other stuff while exposed I can see why early man and women would of thought it was a Gift from God Himself.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if I am accurate. If I am accurate about this then this would mean that it's not really a Gift from anyone, but possibly malicious non-human entities who simply wanted to trap a bunch of humans into incredibly linear thinking and beliefs about an object that needs to be safely disposed off for the safety of everyone on Earth. Especially for everyone and everything in the immediate vicinity the Ark of the Covenant currently resides.
 Quoting: darkwolf007


Excellent speculation . . . it is advanced technology as far as I am concerned, malfunctioning or broken or more dangerous during a maintenance cycle it undergoes . . .
 Quoting: George B


Excellent speculation using lots of facts that I've picked up about this topic over the years that is, OP. It's also a well known fact in the UFO circles such as MUFON that alot of alien space ships such as the flying "saucer" ships are powered by a non-existent extremely unstable radioactive isotope nuclear engine. So it's not hard to imagine that's precisely what the Ark of the Covenant is. It looks and seems alien because it is in fact alien technology... only broken and needs to be properly disposed of.

Though to me, I'd say it's quite possible that the later X-Files episodes say after season four or five and the six episode mini-season back in January of this year it's Illuminati/Freemason agents giving out facts masked as simple Hollywood entertainment about these Grays and possibly their Masters.

I did say in a number of past GLP threads that most likely the full UFO Disclosure so many people are so anxious for has been well underway through Hollywood movies and TV shows but more or less thinly veiled alien details in such Hollywood productions. It struck me very deeply and curiously too just how these six X-Files episodes were so hell-bent on discussing the Gray alien menace and grave threat to all of Humanity, and even more so talking in great lengths and detail about the Illuminati and Freemason's plans for total enslavement of Humanity as a species. So much of the first episode's discussion of such matters has been thoroughly discussed and buried here on GLP as real world matters. I have to seriously wonder if the very near future stuff in that first episode are really on the verge of happening in real life.

To a small degree yes . . . they limited their exposure via distance and making sure there were hundreds and maybe even thousands of Priests all taking a short risk by being near it for a sub-lethal dose. Remember to be a Priest you had to be between 30-55. This is past the normal time a man in that culture would have fathered a child. Think about it.

N34) From which Civilization does the Bab-Ilu or Tower of Babel come from? When was it built, where was it built? What was its purpose?
 Quoting: George B


There are two stories here.

When people lost the direct connection to their deeper aspect they turned to science to recreate it, these projects together are recalled as a tower to reach God.

The second is the allegory of scattering and dividing of mankind following the doomsday war some 32,000 years ago.

N34) So the story is extremely ancient, do we know how the text got into the Pentateuch? What scriptures existed before the Ancient Hebrew text?

Jews got their hands of lots of records from Egypt, apart from the finger, the ark, the mobile algae farm and several other devices that Moses stole there were records that formed the basis of some of the Old Testament.

Re: What primarily is the Ark of the Covenant, choose the best answer?
In the Old Testament, it was the vessel that held the presence of God as well as later held the Ten Commandments and various other relics from the Exodus.

In the New Testament, the Ark of the Covenant is a person - the Virgin Mary - who literally housed God within her body for 9 months.

The intersecting thing is that the Church Fathers believe that the Old Testament Ark of the Covenant is not destroyed but only hidden in a cave on Mt. Nebo in modern day Jordan by Jeremiah, and that during the end times the Ark will be miracously rediscovered by the descent of the Divine Presence in dazzling light, like the theophany at Sinai, after the eschatological ingathering of the Jews to the land of Israel. All other options, such as that the Ark was hidden beneath the Temple Mount, carried off to Axum in Ethiopia, was captured by the Babylonians, or destroyed, should therefore be discounted, since Sacred Scripture itself tells us its exact location.

In the New Testament, the Ark of the Covenant is a person - the Virgin Mary - who literally housed God within her body for 9 months.

The intersecting thing is that the Church Fathers believe that the Old Testament Ark of the Covenant is not destroyed but only hidden in a cave on Mt. Nebo in modern day Jordan by Jeremiah, and that during the end times the Ark will be miracously rediscovered by the descent of the Divine Presence in dazzling light, like the theophany at Sinai, after the eschatological ingathering of the Jews to the land of Israel. All other options, such as that the Ark was hidden beneath the Temple Mount, carried off to Axum in Ethiopia, was captured by the Babylonians, or destroyed, should therefore be discounted, since Sacred Scripture itself tells us its exact location.

You mean you're not faithful?? Man that's a shame. I can sure see where the saying comes from "When one stops believing in God, will believe in anything" ;)

And speaking of the dwelling/temple of God, by the new Covenant of righteousness each of use can literally house God within. Maybe not in such an outwardly dramatic way, but often pretty dramatic in transformation none the less.

In the Old Testament, it was the vessel that held the presence of God as well as later held the Ten Commandments and various other relics from the Exodus.

I did not say I was not one of the faithful. I do however not think everything . . . especially in the Old Testament is fully understood by theologians of any specific demonination or faith group. Being faithful does not make one right in all details.

I have read that it was possibly a creator of "mana", a blue plant based food that continuously grows and fed many people...

I have also read that the Ark is currently in Ethiopia sitting in one of those underground churches, and only "high priests" have access to the area.
