["Read, James C" <K0434995 AT kingston.ac.uk>]

Ezra 1:7-11 gives a list of the temple treasures restored to the Judan kingdom
and as can be seen the Ark is not listed among them. As the most important of 
all
the Temple's treasures I would expect to see it as first on this list if it 
was 
returned to the temple at that time.

Therefore, your question of what was in the Holy of Holies in Jesus day is a 
most
warranted question.

Subject: [b-hebrew]  Stone slab replacing the Ark of the Covenant
 
Maybe your expertise can help me with this question...

I have read somewhere that when the curtain covering the entrance to the 
Most Holy was torn in two, in the first century CE, the Most Holy was 
exposed containing no Ark of the Covenant. In place of the Ark was a stone 
slab upon which the high priest sprinkled the blood on the Day of Atonement.

I know the last mention of the Ark of the Covenant is in 2. Chronicles 35:5, 
saying:
He said to the Levites, who instructed all Israel and who had been 
consecrated to YHWH: "Put the sacred ark in the temple that Solomon son of 
David king of Israel built. It is not to be carried about on your 
shoulders."

This happened around 642 (?) BCE.

And now the question...
Do we know that the Ark of the Covenant was replaced by a stone slab?

If so...
Who writes about it?
Do we know when this was done?
Do we know what the stone slab looked like?

Besides "Yao" in my previous link, I think one can see a great many
commonalities with regards to the Chinese scriptures and other cultures
scriptures/histories.  IMHO

Subject: [b-hebrew] Could This Be Nimrod


The following link provides a history of the Chinese:

http://www.threekingdoms.com/history.htm#2_3_1

It states that:

 All accounts, however, agree that the basin of the Yellow River was the
cradle of the Chinese culture, and that their ancestors were a nomadic
people who, some five or six thousand years ago, migrated from the
north-western part of Asia and finally settled in the northern-central part
of what is now China.

END QUOTE

This could well have been a migrating family descendent of one of Noah's
three children.

It goes on to speak of a legend:

2. Mythological Era
(BC 5000-2200)

2.1. Age of the Three Divine Rulers

Given the first rank among the chieftains is Fuxi, or "Conqueror of
Animals." He taught his subjects how to catch animals and fish with nets and
to rear domestic animals for food. He is also the originator of the writing
system which, with their improvements and modifications of ages, has been
handed down to us in the form of the modern Chinese characters.

END QUOTE

Could this be Nimrod? Nimrod the great hunter in opposition to Yahoweh? The
strokes of Chinese writings seem
to have a lot in common with the strokes we see in cuneiform tablets and
this could explain why so many Japanese words seem to come from semitic
roots.


Any thoughts?
