What Happened To The Ark Of The Covenant? The Hezekiahs Reform Theory | Tower Of Bible Podcast Jordan Spieth [AwPCNS8PBd1]

In this episode, Dr. Bob Cargill and Jordan Jones discuss the disappearance of the Ark of the Covenant, and offer a new theory that typically does not get discussed when debating the fate lvaro corts of the ark. Specifically, Dr. Cargill argues that King Hezekiah "made it disappear" during his religious reforms in the 8th century BCE, likely by simply melting eddie murphy it down.

Listen to the argument from the literary evidence, while learning about other objects of veneration created by the ancient Israelites like the Jerusalem temple, bamot (high places of worship), matsebot (standing stones), asherah (either a sacred tree/pole or the deity Asherah herself), and the Nehushtan, a bronze serpent that God commanded Moses to craft as a remedy to snakebites.
