What Is the History of the Ark of the Covenant?

 

A question about the Ark of the Covenant occupied part of the afternoon’s discussion, and Richard told some of its history. The Ark bears what is the oldest and most revered relic of the Brotherhoods: the Holy of Holies used in the Tabernacle. The Ark is a wood­en box about four feet long by two feet wide and two feet deep, made to carry the Holy of Holies. This is a gold sculpture in the form of two kneeling cherubim facing each other with arms outstretched to hold between them a shallow basin called the Mercy Seat, and their wings stretch forward above the basin. In this basin glows a perpetual Spirit Fire referred to in the Bible as the pillar of fire by night and the pillar of cloud by day, and it constitutes the Shekinah Glory. This golden sculpture was made in ancient Lemuria and was used to inspire emigration of tribesmen from the hinterlands of Mu to the Lemurian Civilization.

 

Before the inundation of Mu, the Holy of Holies was sent to Mexico and later was taken to Atlantis where it remained in the temple of Poseid until the civilization of Atlantis began to crumble. It was later moved by the Osirians who left Atlantis to settle in what is now called Libya and it was installed in the Temple of Isis. When the Great Pyramid of Gizeh was built about 6,000 years ago, the Holy of Holies was secretly placed in the sarcophagus for Moses to bring to the Holy Land 2,800 years later. The Old Testament takes up the history of the Ark and tells us of its des­ecration and capture by the Philistines when their ar­mies defeated King Saul. The Philistines took the Holy Ark back to Phoenicia with them, but they could take little pleasure from their ill-gotten gain because the Ark was charged with a mysterious energy which meant instant death to any who touched it. Only those Levite priests who were of the first degree of Broth­erhood or higher could attend it.

 

Finally, the Philistines, nonplussed and frighten­ed by their strange experiences with the Ark, tied it to a cart behind two oxen and sent it off in the direc­tion of Israel. The Bible tells us that King David took the return of the Ark as a good omen and rejoiced at its recovery. It was the central feature of the Tem­ple of Solomon, and it was preserved through the tribulations of the Jews to the time of the earthquake on the day of Christ’s crucifixion, at which time it was overturned and disappeared from the Temple.

 

The Ark of the Covenant is now somewhere in the Pyrenees, safeguarded by the Brotherhoods.

 

Those of us living now may see the Ark in the Na­tion of God, where the Ark will be restored to man­kind. A replica of the Ark of the Covenant will be maintained in the City of Stelle as a reminder of a past civilization and of the new one which we are now build­ing. (12-1969)

Q:   What is the Ark of the Covenant?

 

RK:      It is a relic that was made and first used in ancient Lemurian times. It served in the “Taber­nacle in the Wilderness” which was a group of tents that were moved from place to place to inspire persons still living in the old tribal valleys of Mu to take part in the Lemurian Civilization. The Lemurian Civili­zation did not extend over the entire continent on Mu, and there were many primitive peoples coexisting on the huge continent while the civilization was at its height.

 

The central feature of the tabernacle is a golden statue, two feet high, four feet long and about 18 inches wide. It weighs nearly a ton and is pure gold. In de­sign there are two cherubims kneeling and facing one another. They support a shallow plate between them that is called the “Mercy Seat.” Persons of sufficient clairvoyant ability may see a “spirit fire” emanating from the plate. The Bible refers to this “spirit fire” during the Exodus as “the pillar of fire by night and the column of smoke by day.” This same spirit fire grew to enclose the inner sanctum of the temple in Jerusalem when it was dedicated by Solomon. At that time it was known as the “Shekinah Glory.” Prior to the Exodus the Ark was stored in the sarcophagus in the King’s Chamber within the Great Pyramid of Gizeh. Because it is a very important relic, it has been pre­served by the Brothers to this day. It will one day be delivered to the Nation of God. (05-1972)

 

 

What Is the History of the Ark of the Covenant?

 

Q:      I wanted to ask you about the Ark of the Golden Covenant. Is that what it is called? Did they salvage it from the submergence of Atlantis? It is the same thing as the Ark of the Covenant that the Hebrews had?

 

RK:    Yes. It is the same one. Actually, it was not salvaged, it was the—the Ark is the wooden box that Moses made in which to carry the Holy of Holies, which is a golden statuette of two cherubs facing one another with hands outstretched toward one another holding a shallow bowl between them. Their wings are outstretched behind them.

 

The Ark—the box, now—is exactly the same dimensions as the so-called sarcophagus in the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid at Gizeh. That was because it was in that sarcophagus that the Holy of Holies was stored, waiting for Moses to uncover it and take it out of the Pyramid.

 

It was originally constructed in early Lemurian times. It was used as, part of what they had at that time, part of a road-show to try to demonstrate to primitive people the advantages of becoming part of the Lemurian civilization which was also on that continent. After the civilization was well under way, a few ten thousand years later, it was essentially held as a revered relic in a museum. Maybe about a few years before Mu sank—the continent where Lemurian civilization was—it was removed by the group that was settling Atlantis, and they held it for almost the full length of time that Atlantis existed until a few hundred years before Atlantis sank. At that time it was removed by the followers of Osiris to North Africa.

 

After Atlantis sank, it was used as a rallying point for people who understood its mystical significance until about the time of the construction of the Great Pyramid. Then it was placed in the Great Pyramid for protection. It kept it out of the hands of persons who maybe recognized it and would have used it for evil purposes. It was taken out of the Pyramid about 3200 years ago by Moses and brought to the Holy Land. It stayed in the Holy Land area, sometimes in possession of the Israelites and sometimes by their enemies except their enemies could never get any use out of it because people who touched it died and they didn’t want to mess around with it, for the most part. By one means or another, it stayed in the hands of and under the protection of the Israelites, though unfortunately it was pretty tenuous at times, until such time as the day when Christ was crucified at which time it disappeared from the Temple. It was obviously carried away by members of the Essene Brotherhood. They have had it ever since that time, and it presently rests in the Pyrenees Mountains in the Essene headquarters. (08-1982)
