Exodus to the Red Sea - the Discoveries of Ron Wyatt.
"
But Moses's mother made an ark basket out of bulrushes, and coated it with tar on the inside and out; and she put the child therein and hid it in the flags, by the bank of the river.
Then Moses's sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women that she may nurse the child for thee? And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the child became the Son of Pharaoh's daughter, and she called him Moses because she drew him out of the water.
When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to slay Moses; But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian.
It was 40 years later in Midian where the Angel of the Lord “Jesus Christ” appeared to Moses in a Burning Bush. Moses was tending the flock of Jethro, his father in law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
Two large red granite pillars with inscriptions on them validate the authenticity of Ron Wyatt’s claim of finding Moses Red Sea Crossing. King Solomon erected these pillars on both the Sinai and Saudi Arabian sides of the Red Sea. The inscription reads, Pharaoh, Mizraim (Egypt) Moses, death, water, Yahweh, Solomon, Edom.
There have also been recent Archaeological discoveries of hundreds of ancient skeletal remains of Egyptian soldiers, horses, chariot wheels, swords, armor, and weapons scattered over the bottom of a half-mile wide and eight miles long underwater land bridge, connecting Sinai to Saudi Arabia. This is convincing evidence that proves that a large Egyptian army must have become trapped in the mud and wet clay and suddenly perished at this site in a traumatic way.
These fantastic discoveries provide undeniable scientific evidence that one of the most famous stories in the Old Testament is based on historical truth.
Ron Wyatt's recent Archaeological discoveries have brought new light and insights to many of the stories in the Old Testament. Many Historians and non-believers are now having trouble convincing everyone that these miraculous stories never really took place the way the ancient Prophets said they did. They want us to believe that these stories are nothing more than religious make-believe, exaggerated folk tales, and fanciful fiction.
However, modern Archaeological discoveries in the Red Sea scientifically authenticate this fantastic biblical story of how 600 chariots, 50 thousand horsemen, and 200 thousand Egyptian foot soldiers were completely annihilated, as the huge walls of waters on both sides of them, came crashing down upon them.
Even with the waters parted, it would have been nearly impossible for the Israelites with their wagons, children, flocks and cow herds to climb down the cliffs and then back up the other side of the Red Sea, had this land bridge not been there.
RED SEA: ARCHAEOLOGISTS DISCOVER REMAINS OF EGYPTIAN ARMY FROM THE BIBLICAL EXODUS
The scientists led by Professor Abdel Muhammad Gader and associated with Cairo University’s Faculty of Archaeology, have already recovered a total of more than 400 different skeletons, as well as hundreds of Egyptian weapons and pieces of body armor.
The remains of two war chariots were also discovered scattered over an area of approximately 200 square meters.
First of all, the ancient soldiers and horses seem to have died on dry ground, since there are no traces of any sunken boats or ships found in the area. The positions of the bodies and the fact that they were stuck in a vast quantity of mud and clay suggest that they could have died in a mudslide or tsunami.
And the children of Israel cried out to the Lord and said to Moses. Was it because there were no graves in Egypt has thou taken us away to die in the wilderness?
And Moses said to the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you today; for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more forever.
And it was told the King of Egypt that the people fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said: Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us? And he made ready his chariot and took his people with him. And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel and the children of Israel went out with a high hand. But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid, and the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord.
And they said Moses, Wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians, then that we should die in the wilderness.
The Jews, though they didn't realize it, were the very first Christians; “Followers of Jesus Christ.” The angel of the Lord, Almighty God, the Great I AM, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that spoke to Moses from the burning bush; And the angel of the Lord that was in the cloud, that shielded the Jews from the hot desert sun during the day, and the pillar of fire that kept them warm during the cold desert nights, and lit their way so they could travel through the wilderness both day and night, was Jesus Christ.
And the Egyptians pursued and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians; And took off their chariot wheels, that they drove them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it, and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. And the waters returned and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
Dead Sea Scrolls "Jubilees 48:12-14"
And Pharaoh cried to the Egyptians to pursue after Israel with all the powers of the Egyptians, with their chariots, and with their horses, and with all the hosts of the peoples of Egypt.
And I stood between the Egyptians and Israel, and we delivered Israel out of his hand, and out of the hand of his people, and the Lord brought them through the midst of the sea as if it were dry land.
And all the peoples whom he brought to pursue after Israel, the Lord our God cast them into the midst of the sea, into the depths of the abyss beneath the children of Israel, even as the people of Egypt had cast their children into the river He took vengeance on 1,000,000 of them, and one thousand strong and energetic men were destroyed on account of one suckling of the children of thy people which they had thrown into the river.
Thus says the Lord who makes a way through the sea and a path through the mighty Waters, come and see the works of God he turned the sea into dry land and they pass through on foot. They went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and one on their left. That day the Lord saved Israel. Ex 14:29
CHARIOT WHEELS FOUND ON BOTH SIDES OF THE RED SEA
of electrum." I'am willing to bet that Pharaoh Amenhotep II four spoke chariot wheels were gold also.
The Memphis Stele records that Pharaoh Amenhotep II went hunting in the forest of Rebiu and was able to kill and carry off large numbers of gazelles, animals, hares, and wild asses without limit. Egyptologist and Scholars have recognized that the design of the chariot wheels found in the tombs and the paintings on the walls can be used to date specific Pharaoh’s and time periods in which they rained in Egyptian history.
In the waters of Aqaba it appears that remnants of both four and six spoke wheels have been found together. These wheel designs were used simultaneously only during Egypt's early 18th Dynasty, and this time period matches perfectly with Pharaoh Amenhotep II's reign from (1450-1419 BC.) and the 1446 BC. biblical date for the Exodus.
This is another picture of Amenhotep II, carved into a red Granite stele, shooting his arrows through a copper shield, while riding in his four-spoked wheel chariot.
There are many scholars and Egyptologists who claim that you can’t find any evidence of God freeing over 2 million Jews from slavery, and leading them out through the wilderness to a promised land flowing with milk and honey; Nor for the ten plagues that struck Egypt, and the parting of the Red Sea. These self proclaimed experts purposely chose to ignore all the evidence standing right in front of them, because it doesn’t match their academic teachings, or their atheistic beliefs.
Manetho was a 3rd. Century BC. historian born in Egypt that translated the sacred Egyptian historical records into the Greek language. There is no doubt that Manetho wrote about the Israelites because he describes a people whose leader was called Moses who were slaves in Egypt, and went out of the country and afterwards settled in the country which is now called Judea, and there built Jerusalem and its Temple.
Monetto says that these people took their journey from Egypt during the reign of Aminifist the King of Egypt. Aminifist is the Greek form of the Egyptian name Amenhotep. So in Josephus we are given a quote from Monetho where he names Amenhotep the Pharaoh of the Exodus. Josephus thought that the name of the King might be fictitious, because Manetho did not set down the number of years of his reign; which he had accurately done as to the other Kings he mentions. Josephus then says that Thutmoses was King when they went away. (Josephus: against Apion: 1.26).
Who was the Pharaoh of the Exodus in 1446 BC? And did his firstborn son die in the 10th Plague?
The first thing you must remember when trying to figure out who the Pharaoh of the Exodus was? Is that the Pharaoh whose daughter pulled the baby Moses out the Nile River when he was three months old; and the Pharaoh sitting on the throne when Moses killed the Egyptian soldier at age 40; and the Pharaoh that Moses stood in front of demanding that he: “Let God’s people go!” when he was 80; there could have been two or three different Pharaohs.
Both Thutmosis II and his wife Queen Hatshepsut, Thutmosis III, and Pharaoh Amenhotep’s II mummies were covered in boils from head to toe. Recent CAT scans and DNA testing on several mummies from the early 18th dynasty, reveals extensive, almost identical scarring on the entire body of at least 4 mummies known to have lived contemporaneously during the 10 Plagues. “…and festering boils broke out on men and animals. The magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils that were on them and all the Egyptians.” Exodus 9:10, 11.
In 1886 Gaston Maspero discovered the mummy of Pharaoh Thutmose II and it was covered with scabs and scars that resemble boils, from head to toe.
It has also been said that Thutmose II's body was fished out of the sea and mummified, and that the cysts were part of the plagues of boils which Egypt had suffered at the time of Moses.
Thutmose II was the son of Amenhotep I, but he was not his firstborn son. In Egyptian, the name means “the moon is born” but in Hebrew, Ahmose (אח משה) translated means “the brother of Moses.
And in 2007 a team of medical experts led by Egyptologist Dr. Zahi Hawass conducted cat scans on the mommy of Queen Hachatsut the wife of Thutmose II and her body was covered head to toe in scarring left by boils.
"When the DNA of this female mummy was compared with that of Hatshepsut's ancestors, scientists were able to confirm that the remains were those of the 18th dynasty queen." Hatshepsut, Egypt's greatest female ruler, having greater power than even Cleopatra.
This is undeniable proof that Amenhotep II, Thutmose II and his wife Queen Hachatsut, and Thutmose III experienced the 10 plagues mentioned in Exodus, and that Amenhotep’s first born son King Tut died at an early age.
Recent CAT scans and DNA testing on several mummies from the early 18th dynasty, revealed extensive, almost identical scarring on the entire body of at least 4 mummies known to have lived contemporaneously during the 10 Plagues.
Amenhotep II was the father of King Tut also known as (Tutankhamun). Amenhotep II had two red granite lion statues carved and placed at his temple in the south of Egypt at Soleb. Tutankhamun had a section of text added to the statues in which he explicitly calls Amenhotep II his father.
Recent DNA analyses on the mummies of King Tut and his kin revealed that the boy king’s parents were siblings. The results were published in the journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in February 2010, pointing to the fact that King Akhenaten (Amenhotep II) and one of his sisters were the mom and dad of King Tut.
Hatshepsut was the daughter of Pharaoh Thutmose I, who died when she was only 12 years old. After her fathers death Hatshepsut then married her half-brother Pharaoh Thutmose II who reigned for only 14 years from approximately (1518 to 1504 BC.) Upon the death of her husband and half-brother Thutmose II, Hatshepsut ruled as Queen regent to her stepson, Thutmose III, who inherited the throne at the age of two. When Thutmose III was 7 years old, Queen Hatshepsut assumed the position of Pharaoh and adopted the full royal titulary making her co-ruler alongside Thutmose III for 21 years 9 months as recorded by Manetho and Josephus. This would place the end of Pharaoh Hatshepsut’s reign in the 22 year of Thutmose III, who then reigned a total of 54 years from approximately (1504 to 1450 BC.) as one of Egypt’s greatest Pharaohs. Then Amenhotep II, the son of Thutmose III reigned from (1450 to 1419 BC.) making him the Pharaoh of the Exodus.
In the Amada Temple of Amenhotep II, Amenhotep II is standing next to Thutmose III both depicted equally in the same scene. The conclusion would be they were co- regents reigning at the same time.
Is there evidence for the Jewish Exodus from ancient Egypt?
There is an ancient Egyptian Papyrus called Admonitions of Ipuwer that most historians date to around 1450-1440 BC. In the Ipuwer Papyrus, Ipuwer is an eyewitness to the plagues and catastrophes that struck Egypt, plunging Egypt into total chaos. The Ipuwer Papyrus mentions the Nile turning into blood, plagues, fire and ashes falling from the sky and destroying the earth, death, slaves running away, social disorder, poverty, famine and Asiatics invading and sacking the land.
This seems to fit what Manetho, an Egyptian historian who translated the sacred Egyptian hieroglyphic records into Greek. He wrote about a certain Pharaoh named Tutimaeus in his book Aegyptiaca, frag. 42, 1.75-79.2: “In his reign, for what cause I know not, a blast of God smote us; and unexpectedly, from the regions of the East, invaders of obscure race marched in confidence of victory against our country. By main force they easily overpowered the rulers of the land.”
Flavius Josephus’ quotation from his book Against Apion (Book 1, section 73) is very similar: “Under a king of ours named Timaus (Tutimaeus) God became angry with us, I know not how, and there came, after a surprising manner, men of obscure birth from the east, and had the temerity to invade our country, and easily conquered it by force, as we did not do battle against them.”
It is easy to see how all this information matches the story in the Bible’s book of Exodus. This historical account mentions a Pharaoh with chariots whose firstborn son dies before him, and after him the country is devastated and extremely weak: it receives a blast of God because God is angry at them, the Nile turned into blood and other similar images are mentioned, their slaves run away and the country is so impoverished and its army so weak that an Asiatic people, the Hyksos, conquer Egypt easily, with no battle.
In the first plaque Ipuwer mentions he says: “There’s blood everywhere… Lo the River is blood.” The Bible says: Moses lifted up his staff and struck the water in the Nile, and all the water in the Nile turned into blood. And the fish in the Nile died, and the Nile stank, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. There was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. (Ex. 7:20-21)
“Everyone thirsts for water.”
And all the Egyptians dug along the Nile for water to drink, for they could not drink the water of the Nile. Exodus 7:24
“Lo, trees are felled, branches stripped.”
The hail struck down everything that was in the field in all the land of Egypt, both man and beast. And the hail struck down every plant of the field and broke every tree of the field. (Ex. 9-24).
“Lo, grain is lacking on all sides.”
The flax and the barley were stuck down, for the barley was in the ear and the flax in bud. (Ex. 9:31).
“Birds find neither fruits nor herbs.”
The Locust came up over all the land of Egypt and settled on the whole country of Egypt, such a dense swarm of locusts as had never been before, nor ever will be again. They covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened, and they ate all the plants in the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Not a green thing remained, neither tree nor plant of the field, throughout all the land of Egypt. (Ex. 10:15).
“Groaning is throughout the land, mingled with laments.”
And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians. And there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where someone was not dead. (Ex. 12:30).
Ipuwer writes:
“Lo, many dead are buried in the river, the stream is the grave, the tomb became a stream, and he who puts his brother in the ground is everywhere.”
The Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, whom the Lord has struck down among them.
“All is ruined.”
The Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long shall this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God. Do you not yet understand that Egypt is ruined?”
“The land is without light.”
So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven and there was pitch darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days, but all the people of Israel had light where they lived. ( Ex. 10:22-23).
“Gold and lapis lazuli, silver and malachite, carnelian and bronze… are fastened on the neck of female slaves.”
The people of Israel had also done as Moses told them, for they had asked the Egyptians for silver and gold jewelry and for clothing. And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians so that they let them have what they asked. Thus they plundered the Egyptians. (Ex. 12:35-36)
THAT'S JEREMIAH'S GROTTO AND THE ARK OF THE COVENANT IS IN THERE!
King Nebuchadnezzar built wood forts with siege walls and watchtowers around Jerusalem to make sure nothing got in or out of the City. And by the second year, a famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people.
Jeremiah describes the destruction of Jerusalem in the book of Lamentations as being worse than that of Sodom and Gomorrah, which were destroyed by God in a moment.
Lamentation 4:4-10 “The tongue of the sucking child cleaves to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask for bread, and no man breaketh it unto them. They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets; they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills. For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.
Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire. Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets; their skin cleaves to their bones; it is withered, it has become like a stick.
Those that are slain with the sword are better than they that are slain with hunger; For these pine away stricken through for want of the fruits of the field. The hands of the pitiful women have sodden (boiled) their own children; they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people."
THE DESTRUCTION OF KING SOLOMON'S TEMPLE
When King Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonian army attacked Jerusalem, they built wood forts and siege walls around the city, with watchtowers, not allowing anyone or anything in or out of the city. It would have been extremely difficult for the Jews to try to smuggle something as large as the Ark of the Covenant out of the city. The Ark of the Covenant which is covered in pure gold, along with all the Temple Treasures is something that the Babylonians would not have allowed to escape.
So it makes sense that the Prophet Jeremiah would have done everything he could to keep the enemy from getting their hands on the Ark. Most likely they hid, or buried the Ark somewhere in the City, or nearby within the Babylonian siege wall. As it was never found nor was it listed among the treasures taken by King Nebuchadnezzar back to Babylon, we must assume that Jeremiah successfully hid the Ark somewhere safe underground.
This leaves only two possibilities, either they smuggled the Ark past the Babylonian soldier's siege walls, or it is still hidden somewhere below the Temple Mount or nearby.
In 586 BC Jerusalem was destroyed by the Babylonians, who ransacked and burned the city, destroying Solomon’s Temple and King David's house, and carrying off the severing Jews to Babylon as their slaves. II Kings 25:9 "And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house they burnt with fire."
In 2 Kings 24:13, 2 Kings 25:13-18, and Jeremiah 52:17-23, a very detailed account was given of all the items taken to Babylon from "King David's house" and the "house of the Lord;"- and it even mentions small items like "spoons", etc. But the Ark isn't mentioned. Neither is it mentioned in the lists of things brought back from Babylon in Ezra 1:7-11. Since we are told by Jeremiah the Prophet in Jeremiah 28:3 that everything taken to Babylon from the "house of the Lord" would be returned, and since the Ark wasn't among the returned items, this proves that the Ark was never taken to Babylon.
After spending 70 years in Babylon as slaves, King Cyrus allowed the Jews to return home to Jerusalem to rebuild their Temple and to take with them all the gold and silver and vessels that King Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of Jerusalem, and had put in the house of his gods. The amount of treasurer that they took back to Jerusalem with them is listed in the book of EZRA chapter 1:9-11 as thirty chargers of gold a thousand chargers of silver, twenty-nine knives, thirty basons of gold, four hundred and ten silver basons, and a thousand other vessels. All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand four hundred, but the Ark of the Covenant which was covered in pure gold was not mentioned. If this had been taken to Babylon, King Nebuchadnezzar would have definitely put the Ark in the house of his gods. It is a good thing that he didn't because I am sure that the Ark, as powerful as it is, would have completely destroyed all of the other statues of his false gods!
THE ARK OF THE COVENANT NEVER LEFT JERUSALEM
After studying the subject, Ron Wyatt came to the conclusion that the Ark of the Covenant never left Jerusalem. That it has remained hidden just as Jeremiah said it would, until the end times when God brings his people back again and shows mercy to them. We know that the entire city was burned to the ground and none of the walls were left standing. King David's house, Solomon's temple along with all the buildings in the city were destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar's army in 586 BC. The only way that the Ark of the Covenant could have escaped from the fire and destruction, and from being captured by the Babylonian soldiers is if it were hidden safely in a cave somewhere below ground. And the most logical place they would have chosen, would NOT be anywhere in the city, where they knew that all the gold-hungry soldiers would be searching for it. The site that Ron Wyatt had supernaturally pointed to called "Jeremiah's Grotto," was in the right location outside the ancient city walls and within the siege wall.
The records show that it was Jeremiah who ... "prompted by a divine message, the prophet gave orders that the Tent of Meeting and the Ark should go with him. Then he went to the mountain from the top of which Moses saw God's Promised Land. When he reached the mountain, Jeremiah found a cave-dwelling; he carried the tent, the Ark, and the incense altar into it, then blocked up the entrance.
Some of his companions came to mark out the way but were unable to find it. When Jeremiah learned of this he reprimanded them. "The place shall remain unknown, he said, until God finally gathers His people together and shows mercy to them. Then the Lord will bring these things to light again, and the glory of the Lord will appear with the cloud, as it was seen both in the time of Moses and when Solomon prayed that the shrine might be worthily consecrated."
The writer, in this letter to " Jewish kinsmen in Egypt, the Jews who are in Jerusalem, and those in the country of Judea," explains where he got this information:
"These same facts are set out in the official records and in the memoirs of Nehemiah. Just as Nehemiah collected the chronicles of the kings, the writings of prophets, the works of David, and royal letters about sacred offerings, to found his library, so Judas also has collected all the books that had been scattered as a result of our recent conflict. These are in our possession, and if you need any of them, send a messenger for them. "
Also worthy of note: the quote in 2 Maccabees, above, could have been mistranslated over the years and originally have stated that the Ark was hidden not IN the mountain Moses was ON when he viewed the Promised land (Mt. Nebo, Deut 32:49), but instead it could mean that the Ark was hidden IN the mountain that Moses SAW when he viewed the Promised land. From Mt. Nebo, he would have been able to see Jerusalem because of its altitude.
In the Pseudepigraphal book called "The Paralipomena of Jeremiah" (meaning "the remaining words of Jeremiah") it is also written that Jeremiah, in obedience to God's command hid the sacred objects from the temple just before the destruction of Jerusalem. Now, neither of these books can be totally trusted as being completely 100% accurate- however, it does say that: "the Ark of the Covenant and the sacred objects remained in the Temple until just before the destruction of Jerusalem;" this means that if it were impossible for the Jews to sneak the Ark past the Babylonians siege wall, it must still be hidden after some 2,630 years, somewhere in King Solomon's quarry tunnels below the Temple Mound.
Also, Jeremiah said in JER 3:16 "And it shall come to pass when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, says 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 anymore."
There is a prophecy about the end times that might reveal a clue as to where the Ark of the Covenant with the Ten Commandment inside it may be found. In Isaiah 2:2-3 it says: "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
And many people shall go and say, Come ye and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law; and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."
A man by the name of General C. Gordon in 1883 discovered Golgotha where Jesus was Crucified; in a place called the Skull, with a garden tomb nearby. And in his book he wrote: "The Ark, I suspect, is in Jeremiah's grotto. The Jews have a tradition that the Ark is under the Dome of the Rock, but I think it is under the true Alter, the Skull, where tradition places Jeremiah's writing of Lamentations."
"Here at Skull Hill, close to the slaughterhouse of Jerusalem, was the headquarters of Titus. The Roman Eagle took the heart of Zion by the throat, for close was the breach. Jeremiah wrote Lamentations in the cave. The Ark of the Covenant is there." p55.
After studying the subject Ron concluded that there was a good possibility that the Ark of the Covenant could still be hidden in a cave called Jeremiah's Grotto inside Skull Hill, but it was still a long shot. Yet, it was enough information for Ron to base his final decision on - and he decided to go ahead with the excavation.
ARK OF THE COVENANT, PASSOVER, AND THE CRUCIFIXION
To understand the significance of all these discoveries you must understand how the Ark of the Covenant, the Jewish Passover, and the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ relate to each other, and how they all fit together.
First of all, you must understand that God had a salvation plain to save mankind before He created the Heavens and Earth; because He knew that if He gave Men and Women the freedom to do whatever they wanted to do, that they would choose to sin and break God's commandments; and the penalty for sin is death; separation from God and living in God's paradise forever; but the free gift is everlasting life through Jesus Christ our LORD.
God is not the God of the Jews only, He is the God of the whole World! When God chose to save the Jews from slavery in Egypt he brought 10 terrible plagues upon Egypt and the last final plague God told the Jews to put the Lamb's blood on their doors, everyone who obeyed God was spared from God's final Judgment and the Angel of Death. Those who did not obey received God's final Judgment.
THE LAMB OF GOD WHO TAKES AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD
John the Baptist said, "Repent and bring forth fruits worthy of repentance, for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand." Confessing their sins, many were baptized by him in the Jordan River. When Jesus came to be baptized, John said, “Behold the Lamb of God who comes to take away the sins of the world!” What did John mean by that?
What did John mean by describing Jesus as the “Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world?” Obviously, this statement must have a lot of hidden meaning. And what does the blood of the Lamb of God, have to do with the Ark of the Covenant? And what do the things that happened to the Jews when they fled from slavery in Egypt in the Old Testament, have to do with the Christians in the New Testament, and Jesus’ death on the cross?
This brings to mind the Bible story of the Exodus and the Passover Lamb. How God had sent 9 terrible plagues upon Egypt, and each time God sent a plague Pharaoh would promise to let God’s people go free, but then at the last minute he would go back on his word and refuse to let them go. In order to be saved from God’s last final Judgment on Egypt, the Hebrew families were told to kill a spotless innocent lamb and put its blood on the upper door header and the two-doorposts of their houses as a sign of protection from the angel of death who would pass through Egypt killing every firstborn man and beast; of everyone who does not have the Lamb’s blood on their door. (Ex 12:3-14)
"For this was good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior. Who would have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time." 1 Tim 2:3-6
"Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes of the Gentiles also; Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." "Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all those that believe; for there is no difference. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are "passed over," through the forbearance of God." Rom 3:20-25
"God demonstrates His own love for us, in that while we are yet sinners, Christ died for us. Having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him" (Rom 5:8-9).
"Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso has this world's good, and sees his brother has need and shuts up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwells the love of God in him?" 1 John 3:16-17
"Therefore be ye followers (imitators) of God, as beloved children; And walk in love, just as Christ also has loved us, and has given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor." Eph. 5:1-2
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Rom 8:29
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ; Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
1 Peter 1:2
"But Christ being come a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle (tent), not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies to the purifying of the flesh; How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" Heb 9:11-14
"For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek; for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Rom 10:12-13
"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so, must the Son of man be lifted up. That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." John 3:14-17
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life." John 5:24
"And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived." Numbers 21:9
"He that believes in him is not condemned; but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. For everyone that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved." John 3:18-20
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." 1 John 1:7-10
THEY FOUND THE ARK OF THE COVENANT IN A CAVE DIRECTLY UNDER WHERE JESUS' CROSS STOOD
The Ark of the Covenant has been missing for over 2,600 years; Some say it is in Ethiopia, some say it is in Egypt, some say it is in Mt. Nebo, some say it is in Heaven, some say it is under the Temple Mount in a cave. Who is right?
One man, Ron Wyatt, an amateur Archaeologist, claims that Jeremiah the Prophet hid the Ark of the Covenant in a cave known today as "Jeremiah's Grotto." This site is called by many Skull Hill, Calvary, or Golgotha, and is just outside of the City walls near to the Damascus gate. This is the place where the Romans crucified Jesus, along with two thieves. Where several roads merge, and where large crowds of people would hear their screams and see their suffering, as they pass by. People passed on their way to Jaffa, they passed here on their way to Damascus, on their way to Jericho, on their way to Anathoth, and many other places. This was about 450 yards from the Temple Mount.
The Roman historian Quintilian wrote, "Whenever we crucify criminals, VERY CROWDED HIGHWAYS are chosen, so that many shall see it and maybe moved by fear of it because all punishment does not pertain so much to revenge as to EXAMPLE."
John 19:17-18 “And He bearing His cross went out to a place called the "Place of a Skull," which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha: Where they crucified Him and two others with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the mist.”
"And they that PASSED BY railed on him, wagging (shaking) their heads and saying, Ah, thou that will destroy the temple and buildest it in three days, save thyself and come down from the cross. Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save. Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him ."(Mark 15:29-32)
"All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head saying, He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him." (Psalm 22:7,8)
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Heb. 13:12
THE SKULL HILL CLIFF FACE
Ron and his two sons began by digging straight down, at the base of the Skull Hill cliff face.
In the book of John, the Bible says that "a title," was put on (above) the cross." The Greek word "epi" means "above." Jesus told Nicodemus in John chapter 3 "Truly, truly, I say to thee "Except a man be born again, (begotten from above) he cannot see the kingdom of God."
The translators in Matthew, Mark, and Luke decided to translate epi as "over," because it would not have made any sense to say that a sign was put (epi) on his head, but in John, they mistranslated epi to mean "on" because they thought it made more sense to say that they put a sign on the cross. However, they should have translated the word epi to say, "a title was put above the cross."
God planned all these things precisely so that people from around the world might understand the connection between the Ark of the Covenant in the Jewish Old Testament, with Jesus' death on the Cross in the Christian New Testament.
Ron found a crack in the rock caused by an earthquake in the ceiling of the cave just above the Ark of the Covenant, that went straight up to the cross-hole where Jesus’ cross had stood; and the gold Mercy Seat between the two cherubim was sprinkled with Christ's (the Messiah's) blood. Jesus the Son of God, the innocent Lamb that God the Father knew would have to be slain to pay for the sins of many before He even laid the foundations of the Earth.
There was an earthquake when Jesus died, which fractured the mountain and opened a fissure that runs down the cliff face of Skull Hill, which you can still see today. This crack in the cliff face goes through the right side of the cross-hole and down through 20 feet of solid rock and cracks the stone lid pushing it aside, on top of the black stone vault where the Ark of the Covenant lies hidden inside.
A Roman soldier thrust a lance into Jesus' heart between the fifth and sixth rib, to make sure Jesus was dead. The thrust of the Romans spear was intended to inflict a fatal wound puncturing both the lung and the left ventricle of the heart, from which the victim, if not already dead, would quickly bleed to death. The left ventricle is the largest most vital pumping chamber of the heart, responsible for pumping blood to the entire body.
Immediately blood and water came gushing out of his side, running down over his feet into the cross-hole. The blood traveled down through the crack in the rock dripping onto the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant.
Hebrews 9:19 says that Moses sprinkled blood and water on the Book of the Law and all the people, in order to confirm the Old covenant (Testament) at Mt. Sinai. This was a "Type," a prophecy of what Jesus Christ would do when he established the New Covenant (Testament). So just as Moses sprinkled animal blood and water on the book of the law and all the people in the Type, Christ had to sprinkle His blood and water on God's Word the Ten Commandments written on stone tablets inside the Ark of the Covenant and on all those who would be saved.
The Bible states that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. Just as the blood of innocent animals was symbolic of the actual blood sacrifice that Jesus Christ would make for us on the cross. "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." (John 1:29) Jesus the Messiah fulfilled the Old Testament requirement for atonement. "And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel."(Heb 12:24)
"For this is my blood of the New Testament ("Covenant"), which is shed for many for the remission of sins." Matthew 26:28
"And almost all things are by the law purged with blood, and without shedding of blood is no remission." (Heb 9:22)
Just as the lamb's blood sprinkled on the doors of the Jews, saved them from God's wrath when the Angel of Death Passed Over Egypt. It says in (1 Cor.5:7) "Christ our Passover is slain for us." The lamb's blood sprinkled on the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant would save all those who believe in Jesus Christ and ask Him to come into their hearts. "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come into him, and will sup with him, and he with me." "Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water." (Heb 10:23)
When God's people were dying of thirst in the desert, God told Moses to strike the Rock. Jesus the Messiah is the Rock. He was smitten by God and afflicted for us, and the water came gushing out of the cleft of the rock symbolizes the water and the blood that came gushing out of the pierced side of Jesus Christ.
"Whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." (John 4:14) If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. He that believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed in him should receive.) John 7:37 to 39
Isaiah 35:5-6 written: 712 BC (before Christ)- Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall leap like a deer and the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.
THE JEWS WERE THE FIRST CHRISTIANS, AND THE FIRST TO BE BAPTIZED.
"Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized into Moses, in the cloud, and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink; for they drank out of that spiritual Rock that followed them; and that Rock was Christ." 1 Cor 10:1-4
Believe it or not, the Jews were the first Christians (followers of Jesus Christ), and the first to be baptized. It was Jesus Christ the Angel of the LORD, the great "I AM," The "ALMIGHTY" that spoke to Moses from the burning bush. Jesus God's Son is equal to his Father ALMIGHTY God, and He created the Heavens and Earth and everything in the universe. "He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not." God the Father allowed His Son to create all things so "that all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which has sent him." “He who has seen Me has seen the Father.” (John 14:9) “I and My Father are one.”
Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do you stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because you being a man, makest thyself, God.
Moses said unto God, Behold when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers has sent me unto you; and they shall say unto me, What is his name? What shall I say unto them?
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM has sent me unto you. And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me unto you: THIS IS MY NAME FOREVER, and this is my memorial unto all generations. (Exodus 3:13-15)
Jesus wanted us to know that he could have destroyed Judas and his band of officers, chief priest, and Pharisees with one powerful Word from his mouth; but instead of doing that, he willingly chose to die a horrible death to save us.
"Jesus said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM."
When Jesus said He is I AM, he was declaring Himself to be Almighty God, and the Jews who heard Him say it, understood what He was saying.
Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest If a man keeps My Word he shall never taste of death. Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: who makest thou thyself?
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou are not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM. (John 8:51-53, 56-59)
Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I AM He; I AM the first, I AM also the last. My hand also has laid the foundation of the Earth, and my right hand has spanned the heavens; When I call unto them, they stand up together. Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time it was, there AM I; and now the Lord God, and his Spirit has sent me. (Isaiah 48:12-13,16)
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I AM He, ye shall die in your sins. (John 8:24)
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." (John 14:6)
Let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead -- by this name this man stands here before you in good health. He is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, but which became the very cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:10-12)
It was Jesus, the blood of the Lamb that the Hebrews placed in a bowl on their front step, and then dipped the brush of hyssop into the bowl, striking the lamb's blood on the lintel (door header) and the two side posts. Making the sign of the cross with the stroke of their hand as they did so.
It was Jesus the lamb's blood on the doorposts that saved the Jews from God's wrath when the angel of death passed over Egypt. Jesus was the cloud that shadowed them as they walked through the hot desert sun. And the pillar of fire that kept them warm during the cold desert nights. Jesus was the bread, the manna that fell from Heaven. Jesus was the water that came gushing out of the side of the rock.
The Jews were the first followers of God "Jesus Christ." The Jews were the first to be baptized into Moses, under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; being baptized (immersed) in the cloud and in the sea. The first Christians, as described in the first chapters of the Acts of the Apostles, were all Jewish, either by birth or by conversion.
"Knowing that not by corruptible things as by silver or by gold, ye were redeemed from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers. But by the precious blood as of a lamb, without blemish and without spot the blood of Christ. Having been foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested at the last times for your sake." 1 Peter 1:18-25
There was a crack running down the cliff face and across the right side of the cross-hole which appears to have been caused by an earthquake, as it displays no evidence of having been chiseled into the rock.
The crucifixion site was next to a road that went past the base of the cliff face. Each of the cross-holes had a 4" thick square stone cover to prevent someone from falling in the holes, with notches in the sides, so you could reach your hands down into a hole and pull the stone lid out. In one of the cross-holes Ron's son found a Roman coin with Emperor Tiberius' face on it, he was Emperor from 14 to 37 AD. during the time that Jesus was living.
A FIRST CENTURY CHURCH
As they continued to clear the area they discovered the foundation walls of an early Christian church building 22'x40' that had been built around the crucifixion site. This building was built adjacent to the cliff-face and a portion of the back wall of the church was built into and up against the actual face of the cliff. The foundations of the building were still in place. As they were digging to uncover the front foundation wall of the church they discovered a large thick rounded table-top.
Using ground-penetrating radar Ron found the large round stone to be thirteen feet 2” in diameter and approximately 18"ins. thick, in front of the crucifixion site. Ron tried to completely uncover it, but it was buried underneath about twenty feet of earth and he was afraid that as he tunneled towards it, the dirt above him might cave in on top of him.
Ron considered that it may possibly be the large stone from the Garden Tomb, which is about 100 yards away. Ron went to the garden tomb to see if the stone would fit. He measured the width of the channel that held the round tombstone, and what the diameter would have been. Amazingly, the channel was designed to hold a stone approximately 18"ins. thick! And the outline of the diameter of the size of the stone that had been rolled in front of the tomb sealing it was also the same size as the stone that they found at the crucifixion site- thirteen feet, 2” ins. The Bible says, "a great stone was rolled in front of Jesus' tomb."
THE GARDEN TOMB
In 1867 a man bought some land along the skull-faced hill. He wanted to dig a large cistern storm drain to collect rainwater, so he could cultivate a garden in this area. As he excavated down along the cliff face, he reached the floor of the old quarry bedrock, a level that dated back to the time of Jesus. And here he unearthed an old tomb very close to the skull hill crucifixion site.
“Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new sepulcher in which no one had yet been laid. There they laid Jesus, therefore because of the Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulcher was nigh at hand.” John 19:41-42
“And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.” Mark 15:46
In front of this tomb is a trough for a large stone to roll in front of the tomb entrance. On the right-hand side of the trough is a block of stone, which would stop the stone and prevent it from rolling any feather to the right. And there was a cut in the side of the cliff face to match the shape and diameter of the stone. The Bible describes a tomb hewn out of rock, in a garden nearby, and that it was the tomb made for a rich man named Joseph of Arimathaea, who besought Pilate that he might take Jesus’ body down from the cross and place him in the tomb. (Matt. 27:57-60).
BREAKING THROUGH INTO THE CAVE SYSTEM
By now, all the cliff-face had been excavated and there was nowhere else to look; Ron and his sons had dug down almost 18 feet to the quarry floor which took them almost two years, and there was no entrance to Jeremiah's Grotto found. They had begun in January of 1979 and it was now late 1980.
As they were digging down along the cliff face they had noticed that there was a fault line running down through the stone and there were bees going in and out of the rock. So Ron chiseled out a large chunk of stone and they could see a small hole and they shined a flashlight into the hole and they could see a large cave inside. They quickly made the hole big enough to crawl into the chamber, and to their relief, it really didn't take them very long before they had broken through the rock into a cave, which was about 15 ft. wide and 15 ft. high and had a system of tunnels leading off in different directions.
At first, Ron thought that the Ark of the Covenant would be setting right there in the cave but it was not. Ron and his sons started investigating all the different tunnels along with one of the local Arab men who was short and small, and could crawl in through the many of the gaps and passageways that were too small for Ron and his sons to easily fit through first to see if they would lead to any large rooms, or if they were just a dead end.
It turned out that the mountain was full of a honeycomb of natural caves and tunnels, and there were places with deep holes that drop down to 25 to 40 ft. deep. And many hours were spent chiseling with a hammer drill and removing the dirt and rock making narrow passageways bigger and chiseling through cave walls searching for adjacent tunnels. And after 12 months of hard work off and on searching for the Ark with seemingly no results, everyone was at the point of giving up. Both of Ron's sons had gotten pneumonia and had to return home.
The conditions in the caves were damp, with a lot of dust and dirt with little oxygen which was not good for your health. Some holes were so tight you had to exhale to squeeze yourself through and when you would try to take another breath you could only half inhale again.
One day Ron asked the young Arab man to crawl in through a tiny entrance to a cave, as usual. When he had done so, he rushed out with terror in his eyes, screaming, "What's in there! What's in there!" The man hurriedly exited the cave system and refused to ever return again.
ARCHEOLOGY'S GREATEST DISCOVERY
Excitedly, Ron made the entrance to this chamber bigger so he could crawl in. He found himself crawling across a room full of rocks that were piled up to within 18” of the ceiling of the cave. Ron shined his flashlight down between the stones and he could see gold shining back up at him. Ron began to move the rocks aside, in order to reveal what was underneath. He uncovered some dry rotted wooden boards which when he moved aside revealed animal skins. Something shiny was under the animal skins. Moving them aside, he uncovered the Table of Showbread, from the first temple.
Continuing to shift aside more rocks and wood, he noticed a large vault in the corner of the room. The lid was cracked and had been moved aside. It had a flat stone top which was cracked completely in two and the smaller section was moved aside, creating an opening into the stone case. But the top of the stone vault was too near the ceiling for him to look inside. Yet he knew what was inside- the crack in the ceiling was directly above the cracked part of the lid, where it was open, and the black substance had fallen from the crack into the case because some of it had splashed onto the lid.
It was at this time, as Ron recalls, as the instant realization of what had happened here dawned on him, that he passed out. When he realized that the crack in the ceiling of the cave was the end of the earthquake crack he had found running down the mountain and through the elevated cross-hole many feet above him, and the black substance was blood which had fallen through the crack and into the stone case, he KNEW the Ark was in the stone case. But the most overwhelming realization was that Christ's Blood had actually fallen onto the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant.
Overwhelmed with emotion and suffering from pneumonia and lack of oxygen, Ron passed out in the chamber. When he came too, it was 2:45 pm. A mere 45 minutes had passed since he entered the chamber, yet in that short time, he became the first witness to the literal fulfillment of the "Type" represented by all the sacrifices made by God's people since Adam and Eve, and later specifically directed by God Himself, in the laws of Moses.
It was January 6th, 1982, when Ron made this amazing discovery. He tried to photograph the Ark of the Covenant with a Polaroid camera, but the photos turned out foggy, they tried a 35mm and a video camera and the photos turned out foggy. He returned with a colonoscope, but again the photos turned out foggy.

THE CONTENTS OF THE CHAMBER
During his several visits to the chamber, Ron Wyatt tried to explore the contents. He measured the chamber and found it to be 22-feet long by 12-feet on two sides, while the other two sides followed the line of the cliff-face, forming a chamber that narrowed down in one corner.
The objects Ron Wyatt saw in this chamber that he felt confident enough to identify were:
In
the cave Ron uncovered a stone vault containing the Ark of the Covenant, the
Table of Showbread, the golden Altar of Incense. The Golden Censer, the
7-branched Lampstand (with golden oil lamps bowls built into the tips of the
branches). An ephod, a miter with an ivory pomegranate on the tip, a brass
shekel weight, 7 oil lamps, and brass ring most likely used for hanging a
curtain or something similar. And a very large sword, 5' 2" long which was
most likely the sword that King Solomon’s Father King David, had used to cut off
the head of Goliath.
RON FINDS THE ORIGINAL ENTRANCE TO THE CHAMBER
Ron found the original entrance door to the chamber and when he broke through to the other side he discovered a very large tunnel which extended in both directions. But he discovered that it was completely blocked with large stones in both directions. The problem now was to find the original tunnel they used to bring the items into the chamber because the large stones were too big to get out through the narrow passageway Ron used to get into the chamber.
Ron Wyatt- The Ark of the Covenant
In the winter of 1854 near the Damascus Gate, Dr. Barclay rediscovered "Zedekiah's Cave," a vast cavern under the city, extending 750 feet into “Mt. Moriah. Beginning at the trench or dry moat separating the northern and southern portion of Mt. Moriah. It is 325 feet wide at the maximum point and the average height is almost 50 feet high.
Ron began to wonder if there were any tunnels leading from the underground quarry to Golgotha? If so, perhaps the Ark of the Covenant and other items had been lowered through a hole in the floor of the temple mount into the cavern, and then through a tunnel to its present location under the crucifixion site.
Ron used sub-surface interface radar in later years to check for the existence of a tunnel running from the underground quarry to the area of the Calvary escarpment. He did find a tunnel-like void crossing under the street in the correct direction that was, as best he could determine, about 20 feet under the road. But it was still quite a distance to the Crucifixion site.
THE WELL OF SOULS UNDER SOLOMON'S TEMPLE
There is secret that very few people know about. Under the Muslim Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, which was built on the site where Solomon's Temple once stood, there is a hole in the floor, which leads down into a secret chamber called the Well of Souls, with an underground network of at least 45 chambers, tunnels, and caves leading off in all directions. This is a known fact that can be verified by a 19th-century British survey that was done by explorers Charles Wilson and Sir Charles Warren. And one of these caves beneath the bedrock leads to one of the most important archeological finds in world History, which is extremely significant to three of the world’s major religions, the Jews, Arabs, and Christians. The answer to one of the world's most baffling mysteries lies hidden under the site where the Babylonian Army destroyed Solomon’s Temple in 586 B.C. The fabled and elusive Ark of the Covenant, which contained the original Ten Commandments, tablets of stone written by the finger of God and given to Moses at Mount Sinai as the ancient Israelites wandered in the desert.
Very few people know about this hole in the floor that leads down into the Well of Souls, but if you go to the Muslim Dome of the Rock shrine and knock on the floor, you can hear the resounding hollow echoes coming from the chamber below. The Well of Souls is purportedly located below a natural cave under the rock upon which Jewish tradition says Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac. Islamic tradition indicates Muhammad ascended to Heaven from this same rock. Today no one is allowed to access these subterranean chambers under the Temple Mount, for fear that someone might fill them with explosives and destroy the Muslim Temple. The Temple Mount and the natural cave below the Dome of the Rock are periodically open to tourists, depending upon the local security and political situation.
WILL THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM BE REBUILT?
Jesus went up to Jerusalem and found in the temple those that sold oxen, sheep, and doves, and the changers of money sitting; And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep and the oxen; and poured out the changers money, and overthrew the tables. And said to them that sold doves, Take these things hence, make not my Father's house a house of merchandise. And his disciples remembered that it was written, the zeal of thine house has eaten me up.
Then answered the Jews and said to him, What sign shows thou to us, seeing that thou does these things?
Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spoke of the temple of his body. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had said.
Acts 17:24-25 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshiped with men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he gives to all life, and breath, and all things.
Acts 7:48-51 Howbeit the most High dwells not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? Has not my hand made all these things?
Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers. Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
There are many Christians and Jews who believe that God wants the Temple in Jerusalem to be rebuilt and that the Ark of the Covenant will be returned to its original place. But Jesus told the Jews that the temple would be totally destroyed. "Do you see all these great buildings?" replied Jesus. "Not one stone here will be left on another; everyone will be thrown down."
The chief high priests and all the council sought to find witnesses to testify against Jesus so that they could put him to death and found none. For many bear false witness against him, but their testimony did not agree with one another. Some of the witnesses said, "We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands."
Jesus our Messiah promises that within three days which was a reference to his death and resurrection, He will build a new Temple greater than the Old, without the use of man's hands. The Most High God will no longer dwell in temples made by the hands of men, but he will live in the hearts of His people.
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man defiles the temple of God, he shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
2 Corinthians 6:16-17 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
Ephesians 2:19-22 Now, therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone; In whom all the building fitly framed together grows into a holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are built together for a habitation of God through the Spirit.
We, as Christians, are the temple of God; we are the church. It is totally wrong to waste large sums of money on lavish expensive buildings. The early Christians met from house to house.
The Scripture is clear that we are the new temple of God. "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be there God, and they will be my people." But King Solomon said, "But will God indeed dwell on the Earth? Behold, the Heaven and Heaven of Heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have built."
The Jews want to rebuild Solomon's temple so they can start offering animal sacrifices to God again. But why would they want to do this? Because the Orthodox Jewish community understands that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin (Leviticus 17:11; Hebrews 9:22). And since they do not believe that Jesus is the promised Messiah who died for their sins, they believe they must still make animal sacrifices for the forgiveness of their sins.
But God will never return the Ark of the Covenant to the Jews. It is not His desire to restart animal sacrifices. Jesus, by His death on the cross has done away with animal sacrifices. He has annulled them. He has caused sacrifice and offering to CEASE'. (Daniel 9:27).
Isaiah 1:9to18 "Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah. Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? Saith the LORD. I am full of the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts, and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lamb's, or of he-goats. When ye come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand, to tread my courts? Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and Sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot deal with; it is iniquity, even thy solemn meeting. Your new moons and your appointed feast my soul hates: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.
A man by the name of General C. Gordon in 1883 discovered Golgotha the place where Jesus was Crucified called the place of the Skull; and the garden tomb nearby. And in his book Gordon on Golgotha - Gordon's Letters to Sir John Cowell 1883 ISBN 978-1-904459-51-4., he says: "The Ark, I suspect is in Jeremiah's grotto. The Jews have a tradition that the Ark is under the Dome of the Rock, but I think it is under the true Alter, the Skull, where tradition places Jeremiah's writing of Lamentations."
The Ark of the Covenant where Jesus shed His blood on the Mercy Seat, is in the most Holy Place where God is! The Ark of the Covenant is in the place where God’s presence is here on earth. And the Ark of the Covenant “is not under the Dome of the Rock,” (the Temple Mount) but “is under the true Alter, the Skull” Golgotha.
"Here at Skull Hill, close to the slaughterhouse of Jerusalem, was the headquarters of Titus. The Roman Eagle took the heart of Zion by the throat, for close was the breach. Jeremiah wrote Lamentations in the cave. The Ark of the Covenant is there." p55.
I feel, for myself, convinced that the Hill near the Damascus Gate is Golgotha. ... From it, you can see the Temple, the Mount of Olives and the bulk of Jerusalem. His stretched out arms would, as it were, embrace it: "all day long have I stretched out my arms" [cf. Isaiah 65:2). Close to it is the slaughterhouse of Jerusalem; quiet pools of blood are lying there. It is covered with tombs of Muslim; There are many rock-hewn caves; and gardens surround it.
The miracle that God allowed Ron Wyatt to discover that the Ark of the Covenant is in a cave 20 ft. below where Jesus was crucified on a cross, is the most important archaeological discovery ever found. Why! Because it reveals that the blood of Jesus Christ was indeed sacrificed and sprinkled on the Mercy Set of God’s Altar, as the ultimate sacrifice for the sins of the world. This is precisely the same place where it was designated by Old Testament Law, by tradition and by the ritual custom of the Temple for the major sin sacrifices to be killed. It was essential that this sacrifice be done in the right location, and that the blood of the promised Messiah, the Lamb of God be sprinkled on the Ark of the Covenant.
According to Jewish tradition, this is why Solomon built the temple on Mount Moriah, “Now Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to his father David, at the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.”
Solomon built the first Temple on the exact spot where Abraham stretched out Isaac upon the altar of sacrifice (Genesis 22: 1-2). “And it came to pass after these things that God did tempt (test) Abraham and said to him, Abraham and he said, Behold, here I am. And he said, Take now thy son thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah, and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.”
Mount Moriah, the Temple of Solomon, the place where Abraham offered up Isaac, and Golgotha the place where Jesus was crucified— are all the same place.
Notice on the topographical map that Golgotha is 777 meters above sea level, and is the highest hill on Mount Moriah; higher than the Temple Mount which is 741 meters! Jesus was crucified on the summit, the highest peak of Mount Moriah. Jewish tradition relates that the Temple was built on the site of the Akedah, on Mount Moriah. (ʿAqedah; Heb. הָדֵקֲע, lit. "binding (of Isaac)") Mount Moriah is 777 meters above sea level, and the number 777 is a symbol for the Holy Trinity of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Above the Temple Platform, there was a higher hill still, which overlooks all of Jerusalem, and this is where Abraham would have offered up Isaac. It was not a coincidence that Jesus was crucified 2,000 years later on the same spot where Abraham offered up Isaac. The Bible makes it clear: “Jesus was the Lamb who was slain, before God laid the foundation of the world.” (Rev. 13:3).
It was on this sacred mountain of the Lord, Abraham said to his son Isaac, “God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering.” It was called a burnt offering, because Jesus suffered hell for three days and three nights, for the sins of many.
By faith Abraham was willing to obey God's command to offer up Isaac as a burnt sacrifice; despite having received the promises from God, that his seed would be like the stars in the sky.
Abraham was willing to offer up his only begotten son of whom it was said, ‘That in Isaac shall your seed be called’, believing that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from which he received him back as a Figure (Type of Christ).
Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son—blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies.
In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.” Galatians 3:14,16 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
Thus, Abraham and Isaac's experiences on Mt. Moriah were not only a ‘Prophetic Prophecy’ of Christ’s Death on the cross 2000 years later, but also of His Resurrection from the dead.
To Abraham the pain he felt in his heart when God told him to sacrifice his son, was just as if Isaac had died; because he knew he had to obey God's command. Thus on that 3rd day when the angel stopped the knife at the last moment, the joy in Abraham's heart was the same as if he had received his son back 'from the dead'. Imagine the joy God the Father must have felt, along with the rejoicing of all the angels in heaven when Jesus rose from the dead on the 3rd day.
The Bible indicates that the crucifixion of Jesus occurred in a "holy place" - a place John the apostle describes as belonging to the Temple worship ritual - which the Book of Hebrews refers to as being an altar "Outside-the-Camp" (John 19:20).
Hebrews 13:10-14) “We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serves the tabernacle. For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
Golgotha, was called Calvary by the Romans, (a Latin word which means Skull), and is a mountain outside of the city gate of Jerusalem where people would be taken to be stoned, and where executions of convicted prisoners were carried out. The Bible says that it was here that Jesus was crucified along with two other thieves.
And according to the Old Testament story of David and Goliath, this is also the place where David buried the head of Goliath of Gath (Gola-Gatha).
What does the Story of David and Goliath have to do with Jesus Dying on the Cross?
Everyone knows the story of David and Goliath. But many are not aware of what happened after David killed the Giant.
1 Samuel 17:53-54 “And the people of Israel came back from chasing the Philistines, and they plundered their camp. And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent.”
Now the battle between David and Goliath took place in the Valley of Kayla, which was almost 20 miles from Jerusalem. Why would David carry Goliath’s head all the way to Jerusalem, and what did he do with it when he got there?
One clue is the connection between the name “Goliath of Gath,” and Golgotha. The name of Goliath of Gath is a name derived from the two words “Gola Gatha.” One can say fairly confidently, that David took the head of Goliath (the head of the serpent) and after displaying it on a highest hill in Jerusalem for all to see, buried it in a place called Golgotha, still known today as "the place of the skull."
David was a type of Christ, and Goliath was a type of the devil, (the serpent). Goliath was a descendent of the giants which were born as a result of the fallen angels having sexual relations, (fornication) with the earthly women. Goliath, who was of the Lineage of Cain, was ⅔’s angel and 1/3rd human, and was a genetic mutation of God’s perfect creation of man, whom God had made in the image and likeness of himself.
Goliath and the Philistines were a type of the serpent and his fallen angels, which had aligned themselves together against God their Creator, polluting both the animal and human DNA, turning them into cannibals and bloodthirsty monsters. Destroying God's Divine plan for peace in the world; by mercilessly waging war against the weak, and shedding much innocent blood throughout the lands.
Goliath came from Cain's evil bloodline, the “seed (children) of the serpent.” He was one of their super soldiers that the devil and his fallen angels had created (sired), with the aim of totally destroying God’s lineage (righteous seed) from off the face of the earth. So that the promised Messiah could never come, and the earth and all its wealth and people would remain under the devil, his demons, and his fallen angels' control.
This giant super soldier would come out in the field and mock God every day; and had a helmet of brass, and a coat of chain mail armor (small brass rings) that looked like scales, made of five thousand shekels of brass. And he had shields of brass upon his legs, and a breastplate of brass between his shoulders. (1 Samuel 17:5,6).
The word for bronze, nehoshet, sounds similar to the word for serpent, nehesh. Brass looks like gold when it's shiny, but when it starts to weather and gets tarnished, it starts to show its true color, a slimy green, like the scales of a snake or fish. When David cut the head off this giant slimy serpent, it was a prophetic picture of Jesus crushing the head of the serpent at the foot of the cross.
Mount Moriah, is the Holy Place where Solomon built the Temple, where Abraham offered up Isaac, where Jesus died on the cross, where Jacob dreamed of a staircase that reached up into heaven. and where David like Moses raised the serpent's head high on a pole for all to see, and as many as were bitten by the serpent and believed in Jesus, lived!
John 3:14-16. "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up; That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
John 3:33. “He that believes on the Son has everlasting life, and he that believes not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
David's action of bringing Goliath's head to Golgotha the highest hill on Mount Moriah where Solomon would build God's Temple, is similar to what the Philistines did when they brought King Saul's head to the temple of their god Dagon, and fastened it to the wall. See: (I Chronicles 10:10 and 2 Samuel 31:8-10) The Philistines had a "merman" god who was half fish, and half man. Anyone with a little imagination can see the link between the serpent and the Philistine god Dagon.
The fact that the Ark of the Covenant was recently found in a cave 20 foot below where Jesus was crucified on Golgotha, is all evidence pointing to the fact that this is where God's Temple and His Holy of Holies now dwells here on earth; and this is where God wants the Ark of the Covenant to remain throughout eternity, and not in the city of Jerusalem, on the Temple Mount.
Jacob’s Dream
And Isaac called Jacob and blessed him and charged him and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. Arise go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Lavan, thy mother’s brother.
And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. And he lighten upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and Jacob took some stones from the place and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
And he dreamed and behold a stairway sitting on the earth reaching into heaven. And the angels of God ascending and descending on it. And the Lord stood above it and said; I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed. And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
And behold, I am with thee and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
And Jacob awoke out of his sleep, and he said: Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not. And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful this place is! This is none other but the house of God and this is the gate of heaven.
Afterwards, Jacob names this place, "Bethel" (literally, "House of God").
Pouring oil upon the pillar was a symbol that God’s house would be full of the Holy Spirit.
It was in Golgotha, an ancient stone Quarry outside the City gates where Jesus was crucified, that the words of these prophecies came true. "The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner." “There thus saith the Lord God, Behold I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; he that believes shall not make haste. Isaiah 28:16
Golgotha is the place where the cornerstone has been set for the building of the third Temple. This Temple will be built by the Holy Spirit of God, and not by the hands of sinful men.
Jesus is the stone which was rejected by the Jews, and is considered to be of no value to the builders of the third Temple. You can’t build God’s Holy Temple without Jesus and the Ark of the Covenant being inside it. Where the Ark of the Covenant and its Mercy Set are now, is directly under where Jesus shed His blood on the cross. This is where God's earthly tabernacle / His holy Temple resides, and is a copy of God's heavenly throne room. It makes sense that there would be a replica of God's throne in the sanctuary, and such a replica does exist, on the blood stained Mercy Set of the Ark of the Covenant.
God says: "There I will meet with you, and from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim that are on the ark of the testimony, I will speak with you." Exodus 25:22
And the Ark of the Covenant is in Jeremiah’s cave at Golgotha, 20 ft. below where Jesus was crucified. Jesus the Lamb of God, the promised Messiah, is the chief cornerstone of the new Temple. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
If we imitate the life example of Jesus Christ, and go in the same direction that the cornerstone has pointed us in. If we have crucified the old life, and have been planted together in the likeness of Christ's death, so shall we be in the likeness of his resurrection. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
Romans 9:33 As it is written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.” Jesus, the corner-stone for the new Temple, is a stumbling stone and a rock of offense to the Jews, because they believe that the new Temple should be built on the Temple Mount.
Mount Zion is the dwelling place of God on earth, not the Temple Mound where the Muslim Dome of the Rock now stands. Ps 76:2 “In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.” Mount Zion is a hill in Jerusalem, located just outside the walls of the Old City.
Mount Zion is called the City of our God, and the city of David, and is the location from where Jesus will sit on His throne and rule on earth at his second coming, the New Jerusalem.
When the Lord returns, he shall come to Zion with singing; ... and come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. Psalm 132:13-14, For the Lord has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place:“This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
Revelation 21:1-27, Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” ...
(Isaiah 2:2-5) "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. O house of Jacob, come ye and let us walk in the light of the Lord.
The term Mount Zion has been used in the Hebrew Bible first as a name for the City of David (2 Samuel 5:7, 1 Chronicles 11:5; 1 Kings 8:1, 2 Chronicles 5:2) and later for the Temple Mount. "Golgotha, is on Mount Zion." Most people don’t know that Golgotha is the eastern hill of Mount Zion. "The place of a skull" is on the eastern ridge of Mount Zion, east of the Damascus Gate.
This has alway been the main road leading up to Jerusalem, the other three sides of the old city are protected by steep cliffs. Since Isaac was carrying the wood for his father's sacrifice on his back he would have stayed on the main road.
And Jesus coming out of the Damascus Gate carrying the cross, the two would have met at Golgotha (the place of the Skull), the easter ridge of Mount Zion.
But it may be argued that the typology between Jesus and Isaac is incomplete typographically, as Golgotha is not on the site of the Temple. Once again the Jews are getting ready to rebuild God’s holy temple in the wrong place!
The eastern hill of Mount Zion is the place where Yahweh, the God of heaven has declared Holy, and where Jesus’ blood dripped down from the cross onto the mercy seat, and where the Ark of the Covenant and God's new Holy of Holies now dwells in a crystal cave that reflects all the colors of the rainbow, carved out by clean underground streams of spring water, and not made by the dirty hands of sinful men.
And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices; and there are seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. And before the throne there is a sea of glass like unto crystal… Revelation 4:3.
And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. Revelation 22:1
This is also the place where Jesus, the heir to David’s throne, was crowned King of the Jew’s, with a crown of thorns. (Isaiah 24:23) And where God installed Saul, Solomon, and Jesus on King David’s throne. "Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion" Psalm 2:6
Thus Mount Sion will be the center spot of the action of Yahweh’s reign on earth. Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Sion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. Revelation 14:1, “And they sang a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; for thou wast slain, and has redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.” Rev 5:9
Joel 2:32, And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls.
The Old Temple is no longer God’s Holy Place.
In 586 BC, the Ark of the Covenant had been removed from the Temple and hidden underground in a cave, somewhere outside the City Gates.
Unlike almost all the other Jews, Jesus, God the Father’s only begotten Son, did not consider the temple in Jerusalem to be a holy place. He called it a den of thieves and robbers. While other Jews were coming from all over the world, thronging to the temple to get closer to God, Jesus made it a habit to pray to God the Father in remote places, far away from the city.
And when he needed to pray on the night before his crucifixion, he quite deliberately left Jerusalem in order to do so (even today, Gethsemane is just outside the city).
Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”– Matthew 24:1-2
And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.– Matthew 21:12,13 (also Mark 11:15)
In the Old Testament, the sacrificial animals would be killed in the holy place (the tabernacle, or temple), which their blood would then purify (Exodus 29:21, Leviticus 8:15, Hebrews 9:22). Their carcasses would then be removed from the city to remove any remaining impureness. But the temple was no longer a holy place, God’s presence was no longer there. In fact, Jesus is the New Temple (John 2:19-21), He is "Immanuel," God with us.
When Jesus was taken outside the city, the Jewish leaders thought they were cleansing the city of blasphemy and impurity. But the reality was far more significant. As Jesus was taken out of the city to be crucified, he was taking their impurity on himself, and so deflecting God’s wrath away from God’s people and on to himself. The writer to the Hebrews draws the parallel with the ritual where the carcasses of sacrificed animals are taken outside the city, especially on the day of atonement.
The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp. And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood.
Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore. For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come (Hebrews 13:11–13).
The message to the new Jewish Christians is unmistakable. Jesus the Lamb of God, the promised Messiah, has made an end to all the Old Testament sacrifices. By offering himself once and for all, as the ultimate sacrifice for sins.
But if we are to share in his suffering, death, and resurrection, we must help to overturn the tables of the money changers, by putting an end to the corrupt religious and banking system, and abandoning all the old corrupt churches, cathedrals, temples, synagogues, idols, statues, and all that its lavish, wasteful, repetitive, immoral, ritualistic, priestly system represents. Leaving this corrupt system behind, bearing the disgrace that Jesus himself bore outside the camp. Ye are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. God no longer dwells in the building made by the hands of men.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. (2 Corinthians 6:17) And I will be a Father to you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Because Jesus Christ is the new Holy temple, and there is no longer any salvation to be found in following the Old Testament sacrificial Laws of Tithes and offerings, but only in following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, bringing food, clean water, and lights to the poor; clothing and sheltering the homeless, visiting and doctoring the sick. Teaching God’s word; and keeping God’s commandments by caring about our neighbors needs, as we care about ourselves.
(Philippians 2:4-8) "Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God; But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of man. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."
The Ark of the Covenant "is found." - and now it has been revealed to the world what it means to have the blood of Jesus Christ sprinkled on the Mercy Seat; the most important information in the world has been uncovered.
The discovery of the Ark of the Covenant and the significance of the place where it was found in Jerusalem, in King Solomon's mines 20 feet directly below where Jesus was crucified. The finding of the Ark is no longer just the account of Ron Wyatt.
The Israeli institute now acknowledges that the Ark has been found. Rabbis have acknowledged that they have been in the cave where Ron located the Ark and said that they have seen the Ark in the cave, and bear witness that the Ark is Definitely there. The Ark is where Ron found it, with the blood on the mercy seat, as Ron Wyatt has witnessed, and now also with several other credible witnesses.
Ron Wyatt received a phone call asking if he would come and help take their bodies out of the cave; because no one else would go in.
Ron prayed to the LORD asking for forgiveness of all his sins both known and unknown to him, in Jesus' name and by His blood. Thus he was able to enter the tunnel with a rescue basket and put the bodies into the cage so that they could be pulled out of the tunnel one at a time with a rope.
The Israeli Authority then ordered a crew of men to seal up the main tunnel leading from Zedekiah's cave to the chamber where the Ark of the Covenant is hidden, and Ron constructed a steel trap door to close off the small tunnel that Ron had found leading to the Ark; and several foot of earth and stones were piled over it, to disguise its location. The cross holes were also covered over with timber and gravel since the authorities did not want them to be revealed.
The Israelis put a cover story in the Newspapers saying that the six men had accidentally driven their Jeep into a landmine area, and that's how they died. But that was just a lie to cover-up the real story.
Ron Wyatt told his sons that there was no more digging that needed to be done. That the Ark was accessible, it just depended on if God would allow you in there or not. If God wanted you in there you'll see it; if not you can never get in. That's why Ron never took his sons or any of his trusted friends into the chamber, for fear that they might die.
THIS IS THE WORLD'S GREATEST ARCHEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY! GOD AS HE PROMISED, HAS BUILT A NEW TEMPLE, And A NEW HOLY OF HOLIES, WITHOUT THE HANDS OF MEN
"The God who made the world and all that is in it, being Lord of both Heaven and Earth does not live in temples made by human hands, nor is He ministered to by human hands, as though He had need of anything - seeing that He is the One who gives to all men life and breath and everything else." (Acts 17:24,25)
The fourth trip Ron made into the chamber, he found it spotless. He was stunned to see all the rocks, old boards, rotting animal skins, and other unclean items had been removed from the cave, and the furnishings were set in perfect order.
The Ark of the Covenant had been placed at the end of the cave against a stone wall made of crystal, which when the light would hit it reflected all the colors of the rainbow. The rainbow is around God's Heavenly throne, and it is also around His earthly throne. There is no longer a curtain blocking the entrance to the Holy of Holies, so the chamber has become God's earthly Temple or the residence where His Holy Spirit dwells.
And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. Revelation 22:1
One of the angels then said to Ron: "Take the tables of stone out of there. God wants everyone to see them." Ron took them out and they put the Mercy Seat back down over the Ark of the Covenant and Ron backed away a little bit. And an angel came and got the tables of stone which were written on both sides, and put the 10 Commandments on a rock ledge inside the chamber.
Ron was then instructed by one of the angels to take some of Christ's blood from the Mercy Seat and have it analyzed, and Ron did everything that the Angel told him to do.
Ron Wyatt blood of Christ
Isaiah 53:1to12, “Who has believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground; he has no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief, and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes, we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way, and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he opens not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he has poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors, and he bear the sins of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."
Isaiah 52:14-15 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more that the sons of man: So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
Psalms 22:6-8+16-18 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him... I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaves to my jaws, and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me; They pierced my hands and my feet. I may tell all my bones; they look and stare upon me. They part my garments among them and cast lots upon my vesture.
Matt 27:39-44 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging (shaking) their heads, and saying, “Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, “He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.” He trusted in God; let him deliver him now if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
Now from the sixth hour, there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Some of them that stood there, when they heard that said, “This man calls for Elias. And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
Matt. 27:50-53 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And behold the Veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. And the earth did quake, and the rocks rent And the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God.”
Isaiah 26:19. Thy dead men shall live together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust; for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
A letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar the Emperor
In a letter written by Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar the emperor, he describes the events that took place during the crucifixion of Jesus Christ; "And at the time he was crucified there was darkness over all the earth, the sun having been completely hidden, and the heaven appearing dark though it was day so that the stars appeared, but in them there appeared no luster; and the moon as if turned into blood, failed in her light; and amid this terror, the dead appeared rising again, as the Jews themselves bore witness, and said that it was Abraham, Isaac, and the twelve patriarchs, and Moses and Job, who had died before, as they say, some three thousand five hundred years... And the fear of the earthquake remained from the 6th hour to the 9th hour."
THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST
Therefore the Jews, because it was the preparation (for the Passover), that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day, (for that Sabbath day was a high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other, which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was dead already they brake not his legs: But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true; and he knows what he said is true, that ye might believe. For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. And again another scripture says, “They shall look on him whom they pierced.”
Hebrews 13:12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
"When Christ died, the earth quaked. The rock was split right below His cross and the crevice extended right down into the hidden chamber which contained the undefiled 'earthly' Throne of God - the Ark with its Mercy Seat. After He was dead, when the centurion stuck his spear into Christ's side and pierced His spleen (heart), the blood and water came out, falling down through that crack and was sprinkled on the Mercy Seat." Ron Wyatt.
The blood and water of Jesus Christ, which bears record of His sacrifice for sins and the promise of eternal life, poured out of the side of Christ and down through earthquake crack in 20 foot of solid bedrock below the surface, and dripped onto the Ark of the Covenant, on the west side.
“For there are three that bear record in Heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.”
(1John 5:7)
We were Redeemed, "With the Precious Blood of Christ, our Passover Lamb; as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. This means that Jesus lived a perfect life without sin, and He gave Himself a Sacrifice for our sins, by shedding His own Blood upon the Cross; which ran down past His feet into the cross-hole, and down on to the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant.
Ron Wyatt removed a sample of Christ's blood from the Mercy Seat of the Ark in the cave and paid a lab in Israel to do an analysis of the blood. They put the dark dried-out substance in saline solution for 72 hours, then added a growth medium to the blood for 48 hours. Mr. Wyatt asked them to do a chromosome test, but they informed him that he was wasting his money since you can't do a chromosome test on dead white blood cells. They proceeded with the analysis and said, "It's your money."
As they began viewing the cells under the microscope, they saw cells dividing before their eyes! They could tell it was human blood, but "This blood is alive!" They couldn't believe what they were seeing! They continued with their tests and found the blood to be unique from any other human blood! Each cell contained only 24 chromosomes compared to the normal count of 46 that you and I have. Christ received 23 chromosomes from Mary, and one "y" chromosome from His Heavenly Father to designate a male child.
Isaiah 7:14 "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel." The word "Immanuel" means God with us.
Others in the lab were asked to come to see for themselves. With tears in their eyes, they asked, "Whose blood is this?" Mr. Wyatt replied, "It is the blood of your Messiah." Then they asked who the Messiah was, and they began wailing and shouting. No other male human being has ever had this same chromosome count! Christ's blood is alive and unique to prove His divinity to the world before He returns to this Earth. When these tests are repeated for all the world to see, everyone will learn that Jesus was more than a preacher, He was and is the Son of God!
God had prophesied in the Old Testament that none of Jesus' bones would be broken and that He would not leave His soul in Hell, neither would He allow Jesus' body to rot or decompose. That's why His blood is still alive today.
"Therefore (David) being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; He seeing this before spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. This Jesus has God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has shed forth this which ye now see and hear.
For David is not ascended into the heavens; but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Until I make thy foes thy footstool. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ." Acts 2:30-36
About 90% of the scientists did not believe in God or Jesus Christ before they analyzed Jesus' blood. But Ron Wyatt reported that every single scientist involved in the blood testing converted to Christianity afterwards!

"For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an ATONEMENT for your souls: for it its the blood that makes an ATONEMENT FOR THE SOULS" Lev. 17: 11.
For this is my blood of the New Testament (New Covenant), which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Matt:26:28
HEBREWS 9:
Now indeed even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and an earthly sanctuary. 2. For a tabernacle was prepared. In the first part was the lampstand, the table, and the showbread; which is called the Holy Place. 3. After the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies, 4. having a golden altar of incense and the Ark of the Covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant; 5. and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the Mercy Seat, of which things we can’t speak now in detail. 6. Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services, 7. but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people. 8. The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place wasn’t yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing; 9. which is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshiper perfect; 10. being only (with meats and drinks and various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation. 11. But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation, 12. nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.
13. For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh: 14. how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
15. For this reason, he (Jesus Christ) is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
Remember the Passover, the Day of Atonement, has been celebrated by Jews for thousands of years. It was the day that Jesus died on the cross and the day the high priest would enter into the Holy of Holies once a year, to sprinkle the blood of a spotless lamb on the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant; to atone for Israel’s sins. Remember when the Jews sprinkled the blood of an innocent spotless lamb on their doors, so that the angel of death, God's final Judgement upon Egypt for their sins, would Passover them.
The Lamb of God as John the Baptist had said, was the "Lord Jesus Christ." The symbolism is unmistakable. Only those who have their sins forgiven and the Lamb's blood on the doors of their hearts will live with God forever in paradise; everyone else will die and must face God's punishment for their sins because they stubbornly refused to believe.
JESUS TAKES AWAY THE OLD TESTAMENT AND ESTABLISHES A NEW TESTAMENT
For it was not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when God's Son came into the world He said... “Sacrifice and burnt offerings, and offerings for sin, Thou did not desire, neither hast pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law). Then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Thy will, O God.” He takes away the first Testament that He may establish the second. By which we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God; From henceforth waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
Whereof the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before, “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws into their hearts and in their minds I will write them.” “And their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin. Therefore brethren having boldness to enter into the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. (Hebrews 10:4 – 22)
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten out of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the Earth. Unto Him, that loved us and washed us from our sins in his blood.
Behold, he comes with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him; and all kindred's of the Earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. I AM the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, says the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come the ALMIGHTY. Rev. 1:5,7+8
The Lord through Zechariah prophesied that many Jews will be saved at the second coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn” (Zech. 12:9-10).
“In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness”. . . And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thy hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends” (Zech. 13:1, 6).
God the Father, who knows all things both past, present, and future! He knew before He even created men and women with a free will, that they would sin and break God's commandments. And that the most precious thing that He had in all of the universe, His only begotten Son “Jesus Christ” would have to die on the cross to pay for the sins of many.
Over 300 prophecies in the Old Testament revealed that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah), “the lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” These are the words which Jesus spoke to the multitude while He was yet still with them; that all these things must be fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning Him. Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
This shows us that God’s salvation plan to save mankind was not limited to one special group of people, or to one specific time in history, but has been made available to every kindred, every tribe and every nation, “from the foundation of the world.” The story of God’s love, mercy, and forgiveness is actually older than Moses’s law and the punishment for breaking God's Commandments. All those who lived and died prior to the coming of Christ were saved in the same way as a person is forgiven and saved today. Salvation has always been by faith; "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved." Following religious rituals and the letter of the law cannot save anyone! The primary purpose of the law is to show us that we are sinners and that we need God’s (Jesus Christ’s) help to become the kind of person that we need to be, to get into Heaven.
If Abraham had been justified by his works he would have had something to be proud of, but his works were not what pleased God, for the Bible says: “Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness...” For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. (Romans 4:2-3).
"BLESSED ARE THEY WHOSE INIQUITIES ARE FORGIVEN, AND WHOSE SINS ARE COVERED; BLESSED IS THE MAN TO WHOM GOD IMPUTETH RIGHTEOUSNESS WITHOUT WORKS!"
"Our God and Saviour Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." (Titus 2:14)

A private investigator from Michigan asked a Bible Code Researcher to check the Bible code to see if they could find any connection between Jeremiah’s Grotto, Golgotha, with Ron Wyatt. He wrote back: “This is amazing Bro, I didn’t even know about this story. This didn’t come together like this in the scriptures by accident, with the names of people, places, events, and things that are all connected together.
The Bible code, also known as the Torah code, is a set of encoded messages, hidden words within the Hebrew text of the Torah, that predict significant historical events.
With the advent of computers about 30 years ago, the Bible code was discovered and brought to the light. This breakthrough revealed secret messages that were found in the Torah that were hidden for thousands of years. Researchers today use Bible code software that searches the Torah for equidistant letter sequences (ELS) messages.
You need to understand that these scripture passages were written down by the prophets thousands of years ago; And that these Bible codes have been hidden within the lines of the Bible for thousands of years. This is God’s way of proving to everyone, that He knows what happened in the past, in the present, and in the future, before it even happens. And that Ron Wyatt would found the Ark of the Covenant, and that all the stories in the Bible are historically accurate, and one hundred percent true.
Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former things of old. For I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done.
Written in the Bible Matrix Code are the words: Word of YHUH, Massiah, The Maccabees, Passover, Yeshua Messiah, Lamb, Altar, blood is sufficient, Book of the Law, Crucifixion, From Golgotha, Redemption, Ark of the Covenant, is found, of the blood, atonement, Yeshua, Mercy seat, Grotto, the Priests, Hanukkah, Elijah, Ron Wyatt.
The Smithsonian Museum put out a Press Release that said: "Much of the Bible, in particular the Historical Books of the Old Testament, are as accurate Historical Documents as any we have from Antiquity and are in Fact more accurate than many of the Egyptian, Mesopotamian, or Greek Histories."
