The Jewish "Indiana Jones" ✡ "You Shall Place in the Ark"

You shall place in the Ark the Testimonial-tablets that I shall give you. EXODUS (25:16)   וְנָתַתָּ אֶל הָאָרֹן אֵת הָעֵדֻת אֲשֶׁר אֶתֵּן אֵלֶיךָ שמות כה:טז v'-na-ta-ta el ha-a-ron ayt ha-ay-dut a-sher e-tayn ay-le-kha

Shabbat Inspiration This week's Torah portion (Exodus 25-27:19) describes the glorious Ark of the Covenant into which the two tablets from Sinai would be placed. In Hebrew, the name of the Ark/אָרון comes from the word "light"/אורה for it contained the spiritual light of the world. The Ark disappeared after the First Temple's destruction, and many believe it is in a secret chamber built deep underground by King Solomon, who foresaw the destruction and sought to protect the Ark for future generations. Learn more in the Israel Bible: the Five Books of Moses, with full Hebrew and English text and inspiring commentary.   Get the Israel Bible: the Five Books of Moses »  Stand Strong for Israel A young Christian musician stands strong in his support of Israel in this fabulous music video called "I Believe."   Watch here » Meet the Jewish Indiana Jones Harry Moskoff has spent the last 25 years of his life dedicated to uncovering the location of the Lost Ark, and may be closer than anyone could have imagined.   Read more » The Israel Bible Boxed Set This boxed set collects the Five Books of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.

Christian Musician Stands Strong for Israel

But I chose Jerusalem for My Name to be there, and I chose David to rule over My people Israel. II CHRONICLES (6:6) וָאֶבְחַר בִּירוּשָׁלִַם לִהְיוֹת שְׁמִי שָׁם וָאֶבְחַר בְּדָוִיד לִהְיוֹת עַל עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל דברי הימים ב ו:ו va-ev-KHAR bi-yi-ru-sha-la-YIM li-h'-YOT sh'-MEE sham va-ev-KHAR b'-da-VEED li-h'-YOT al a-MEE yis-ra-AYL

Shabbat Inspiration Although we can argue persuasively on legal, historical and moral grounds why every inch of the State of Israel belongs to the Jews, our greatest claim to sovereignty comes from the Bible which refers repeatedly to God’s choosing of Jerusalem for the Jewish People as in today’s verse. If you agree, please sign the Jerusalem Covenant below! Our signatures will be presented to the Knesset to show international support for our eternal capital.
