REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Twenty Six - Behold the Ark of His Covenant!

 Jehovah rules!  Through his Messianic Kingdom, he is exercising his sovereignty toward mankind i a marvelous way.  This is confirmed by what Joh sees next: "And the temple sanctuary of God that is in heaveb was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen in his temple sanctuaruy.  And there occurred lightnings and voices and  thunders and an earthquake and a great hail." (Revelation 11:19 )  This is the only  mention in Revelation of the ark of God's covenant. The Ark had been the visible symbol of Jehovah's presence iwth his people Israel.  In the  tabernacle, and later in the temple built by Solomon, it was kept in the Most Holy. But when Israel went into captivity in Babylon in 607 B.C.E. . Jerusalem was desolatled and the ark of the covenant disappeared. That was when representatives of the house of David ceased to sit upon Jehovah's  throne as king. - 1 Chronicles 29:23.
