Adventistische Schriften über: "What does she say about the Ark of the Covenant, will it be found in the end times"

The twenty-four-part Ark of the Covenant, the most important sanctuary of Israelite culture, cannot be found as such in the end times according to the presented sources. The authors describe rather that the Ark of the Covenant could be rebuilt or reimagined in the renewed temple, which the prophets Ezekiel (chapters 40-48) and Isaiah (chapter 60) are attributed. Although a cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary is spoken of (Daniel 8:14), the Ark of the Covenant itself does not appear as an object that will be found again in eschatological events. Instead, the citations emphasize the continuity of the covenant relationship between God and his people, not the physical rediscovery of the Ark of the Covenant.

Uriah Smith and other Adventists see the Ark of the Covenant symbolically in Christ himself, who bears the covenant burden, and in the church as a spiritual temple.

the Ark of the Covenant and the heavenly sanctuary

»"For their dead bodies were sprinkled with blood; and without blood there is no salvation. Without the blood of the death, the believers were also released, so that they might retain a faithful disposition before God.«

**Note:** The provided citations speak of the Ark of the Covenant and the sanctuary, but none of them explicitly mention that the Ark of the Covenant will be found in the end times. Instead, the Ark of the Covenant is usually depicted as a symbol of divine presence and covenant faithfulness. In Adventist interpretation, reference is often made to Jeremiah 3:16-17, where God says: "See, I will bring them together as one man and as one leaf, and to the Ark of the covenant come let them, that I will no longer remove them. And I will make you a people, and the Lord will be your God. And see, I will make peace and reconciliation with you." This promise is interpreted by some theologians as a hint at a restoration of the Ark of the Covenant in the new covenant – however, this lies outside the immediate texts.
