  • Title: the Disappearance of the Ark of the Covenant
    THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE ARK OF THE COVENANT THEODORE D. EHRLICH One of the great mysteries of the Bible is the disappearance of the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord. The Ark is mentioned as being placed in the First Temple (I Kgs. 8:3-8), but does not appear in the dedication ceremony of the Second Temple (Ezra 3). The Talmud (TB Yoma 22b) notes that the Ark was one of the five items that were in the First Temple, but not in the Second Temple. The Bible does not mention who removed the Ark, why the Ark was removed, where it was moved, when it was taken, and, finally, how this was achieved. It simply disappears from the biblical narrative. It would be anach- ronistic to expect the biblical writers to function as investigative reporters; however, their silence on this subject is startling. It is the equivalent of Sher- lock Holmes' "the dog that didn't bark." For the Jews, the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord is the most sacred object imaginable, containing the handiwork of God, and yet there is little mention of its history after being placed in Solomon's Temple. The cross for Chris- tians, the black stone for Muslims, and the Ark for Jews are physical objects central to their religious cults. To briefly review, the Ark was made of acacia wood, overlaid with gold, and measured two and a half cubits by one and a half cubits by one and a half cubits (Ex. 25:10), roughly 45 inches by 27 inches by 27 inches.

  • SEVEN MYSTERIES of the BIBLE by Richard G
    "By their fruits shall ye know them" Matt. 7:16 SEVEN MYSTERIES OF THE BIBLE By Richard G. Flexon CONTENTS 01 – The Mystery Of God 02 – The Mystery Of Faith 03 – The Mystery Of The Church 04 – The Mystery Of Iniquity 05 – The Mystery Of The Ministry 06 – The Mystery Of Godliness 07 – The Mystery Of The Rapture PREFACE Mystery! What a word! How it captivates our imagination and stimulates curiosity! We are not only queer creatures, but we are curious creatures. When we are told not to do a thing, that seems to be the thing we are bound to do. When a door is locked, we want to know what is on the other side. When there is mystery attached to anything, at once we have an urge to pry into it. This desire is not evil in itself. In fact, without such, men do not develop very much in any line. However, it can be very dangerous, and can be the cause of man’s undoing, if he is not careful. We find mystery connected with so many things in the Word of God that we are made to wonder just how far God will be pleased with our investigations and searching into them. Has He marked “mystery” over the door of some things to warn us to keep out, or has He shrouded some things in mystery to incite us to search for hidden gold? The writer believes it is the latter. The purpose of this book is not to deal exhaustively with the subject presented, but to create a desire on the part of the reader for further studies of the mysteries of God.

  • Unsolved Mysteries of the Bible Lesson 2 Bellevue Church of Christ March 13, 2019
    Unsolved Mysteries of the Bible Lesson 2 Bellevue Church of Christ March 13, 2019 Lesson 2 – What Time of Year was Jesus Born? Background The birth of Christ has become synonymous with Christmas on December 25. Whether you’re listening to carols or looking at nativity scene imagery, the idea that Christmas is the date of the birthday of Jesus is everywhere. But is this popular belief true to history? Why is this unsolved? The nativity accounts in the gospels of Matthew and Luke do not mention a date or time of year for the birth of Jesus and these details are also not included in any historical reference. What evidence do we have in scripture? Shepherds Were in the Fields Watching Their Flocks at the Time of Jesus’ Birth: Luke 2:7–9 (ESV) 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. 8 And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. One argument is that shepherds would not have been in the fields at night during December, and therefore Jesus must have been born in summer or early fall. This argument states that because Judea is cold and rainy in December, it is likely the shepherds would have sought shelter for their flocks at night (See commentary from Adam Clarke in attached notes).

  • Unsolved Mysteries of the Bible Lesson 5 Bellevue Church of Christ April 17, 2019
    Unsolved Mysteries of the Bible Lesson 5 Bellevue Church of Christ April 17, 2019 Lesson 5 – Where is the Garden of Eden? Background Genesis 2:10–14 (ESV) 10 A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. Why is this unsolved? The Bible includes only sparse geographic data in its descriptions of the pre-Flood world. This has led to widely divergent theories on the relationship between pre-Flood and post-Flood topography. No modern candidate for the location of Eden fulfils the clear biblical conditions for the location such as one river splitting into four. The Flood of Noah’s day would have destroyed the surface of the earth. If most of the sedimentary strata over the earth’s surface (many thousands of feet thick in places) is the result of this global catastrophe as creationists believe, then we would have no idea where the Garden of Eden was originally located—the earth’s surface totally changed as a result of the Flood. The Rivers The Pishon river and the land of Havilah The Pishon flowed “around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.” The name of the river does not occur again in Scripture.

  • December 23, 2018 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, in Today's
    ST. RICHARD CATHOLIC CHURCH December 23, 2018 FROM THE DESK OF FR. ADAM. Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, In today’s Gospel we hear Saint Luke’s account of the encounter between Mary and Elizabeth, both of whom are pregnant with their respective sons. We hear Elizabeth’s words of praise for the Blessed Virgin, which eventually become—along with the words of the angel, Gabrielle—the first part of our prayer the Hail Mary. Saint Luke is known for presenting a Marian perspective on the life of Christ. Only two gospels give us an account of the birth of our Lord, that of Saint Luke and that of Saint Matthew. Saint Matthew’s version sees the events through the eyes of Joseph, while Saint Luke’s version sees the birth of our Lord more through the viewpoint of Mary. Saint Luke’s account is the one most often portrayed in Christmas plays. In the liturgy, we hear Saint Luke’s version of the nativity proclaimed at Midnight Mass. If we are not able to come to that Mass, we might miss Saint Luke’s narrative altogether. In that case, it is worth our time to read Saint Luke’s version of the birth of our Lord on our own. It can be found in Luke 2:1-20. We look forward to celebrating Christmas with you at one of our holy Masses. On Christmas Eve Father Manoj will offer the 4:00 Mass. Later, I will offer Mass at Midnight, and also at 10:00 a.m. on Christmas day.

He became a shipping engineer and eventually emigrated to the United States. By 1905 he had become seriously interested in the study of metaphysics, and spent the next few years consciously working and searching for spiritual Truths. When he was visiting Germany in 1907, the Elder Brother of the Rose Cross who became his Teacher made contact with him on the inner planes. He was instructed in the etheric Temple of the Rose Cross, receiving the occult Teachings that he eventually incorporated into The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception, published in November 1909. He founded The Rosicrucian Fellowship in August 1909, and spent his remaining years, until January 6, 1919, writing, lecturing, establishing Fellowship Headquarters in Oceanside, California, and generally spreading the Teachings of Esoteric Christianity - the pioneer spiritual Teachings which will prepare all humanity for the New Age of Aquarius, when all nations will join in Universal Brotherhood. ROSICRUCIAN SYMBOLISM “Divine symbols which have been given to mankind from time to time speak to that forum of truth which is within our hearts, and waken our consciousness to divine ideas entirely beyond worlds.” - Max Heindel.

    BIBLE CHARACTERS MENTIONED IN THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE BIBLE LESSON* November 5, 2006 For CSDirectory.com Compiled by Lt Gen C. Norman Wood, USAF (Ret), Burke, VA 22015 703-898-8818, [email protected] SUBJECT: Adam and Fallen Man GOLDEN TEXT: The Word of the Lord Is True (Ps 119: 159 quicken, 160) "After a thorough examination of the testimonies, commandments, precepts, statutes, etc., of God's Word, the psalmist can come but to one sure conclusion: Thy word is true." (King James Commentary) "There is not a speck of untruth in Scripture." (MacArthur Commentary) Gilmore, Dr. Albert F. (CSB; Editor; President; CSPS Trustee; and Lecturer), "'Thy word is truth,'" EDITORIAL, Christian Science Sentinel (21 September 1921), p. 50. --The mandate or Word of Truth, which is infinite and possessed of all the deific attributes, must be true. • Since God is conscious only of reality, of spiritual, perfect ideas, true and eternal, all that exists likewise partakes of the nature of Truth, is the expression of the divine. ---The Master, under varied circumstances, proved how potent is this fact. • That Truth has lost none of its potency as the agency which regenerates human consciousness and heals mankind, Christian Science is proving hour by hour. ---Christian Scientists do not forget that the possibilities of gaining command of this divine agency are unlimited. Lewis, Harold C., "'How excellent is thy lovingkindness,'" Christian Science Sentinel (7 December 1940), p. 264. --"Lovingkindness" is one of the most beautiful terms in the Bible. • Christian Science teaches that men must learn to understand God's loving-kindness, to have more faith in it, and to depend on it for guidance, in order to overcome the evil which confronts them today.
