FACT CHECK: Does Trump Really Have a Replica of the Ark of the Covenant at Mar-a-Lago?

EDITOR’S NOTE: this is from January 2024 but I was reminded of it again today and wanted to run this article again for everyone who may have missed it.

Time for a Fact-Check!

I saw this posted on Telegram:

Well that definitely caught my attention!

Can anyone Fact-Check this, they ask….

I’m happy to oblige!

Fact-Checking at your service!

I mean, you have to admit this is pretty interesting.

So first I went to Grok to see what I’d get there, and Grok was fairly non-committal either way:

But the rumor seems to be mostly tied to, or popularized by this Tweet:

That account has nearly half a million Followers.

Now if that’s where the investigation ended, I probably wouldn’t be writing this article.

But the man in the picture is James O’Keefe, who I’m sure you know from Project Veritas and now off on his own after being ousted from his own company last year.

And I knew O’Keefe had been at Mar-A-Lago recently, so I went to O’Keefe’s Twitter profile to see if he had actually posted this.

To the best of my knowledge, O’Keefe never posted the original photo (at least not on Twitter) but he has responded to it a couple times, seemingly teasing that it is real.

First was this:

And then this:

So he’s clearly having fun teasing it and saying “Maybe” it is a real photo.

How wild would that be?

Other people are having fun jumping in and saying “how do we know it’s a REPLICA?”

Also interesting, as of the publishing of this article, the none of these posts on Twitter have a Community Note attached to them, which would be added if the post were false.

Oh my!

We’ve actually written about the Ark of the Covenant before and whether it’s been found.

Has The Ark Of The Covenant Been Found?

Has The Ark Of The Covenant Been Found?

I love this kind of stuff!

The more archeologists dig into Biblical history, the more they confirm the Bible is 100% accurate.

There are so many stories of some pinhead scientist or archeologist saying something in the Bible couldn’t possibly be true, until….a new discovery is made and suddenly all the dots line up and make perfect sense!

It’s so fun to investigate things like the location of the Garden of Eden (more on that below)….

The location and final resting place of Noah’s Ark….

And today we’re going to talk about a different Ark — the Ark of the Covenant!

You know, the thing they made a whole movie about with Harrison Ford?

ADVERTISEMENT

Well, spoiler alert!

It’s not just a Hollywood movie with Harrison Ford.

The Ark is real and it ended up somewhere!

Let’s start with the most common theories and then I’ll share with you the latest developments.

The Ark of the Covenant, according to various historical and religious sources, has been speculated to have ended up in several locations. Here are three of the most commonly cited possibilities, along with the inclusion of the “under the Temple Mount in Jerusalem” theory:

  1. Ethiopia:
    • Summary: The most popular claim is that the Ark resides in the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion in Axum, Ethiopia. This belief is central to the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. According to Ethiopian tradition, the Ark was brought to Ethiopia by Menelik I, the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, to keep it safe from being destroyed or captured during the Babylonian conquest.
    • Reason for Belief: The claim is supported by the Kebra Nagast, an ancient Ethiopian text, which narrates the story of the Ark’s journey to Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church claims that the Ark was placed in the first church built in Axum and later transferred to its current location. However, no one is allowed to see the Ark, adding to the mystery and skepticism about its presence there.
  2. Egypt:
    • Summary: Some theories suggest that the Ark was hidden in Egypt, specifically in tunnels beneath the ancient city of Tanis. This theory was popularized by the fictional movie “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” but it has some historical basis as well.
    • Reason for Belief: The idea is that the Ark was moved from Jerusalem to Egypt to protect it from invading armies or during periods of unrest. Tanis was a city of great significance and contained many treasures. However, there is little concrete evidence to support this claim, and it remains speculative.
  3. France:
    • Summary: Another theory is that the Knights Templar took the Ark to France during the Crusades. It is believed by some that the Ark was then hidden somewhere in the French countryside, possibly at Rennes-le-Château or in the Chartres Cathedral.
    • Reason for Belief: The Knights Templar were known to have conducted excavations in the Temple Mount and could have found the Ark and transported it to Europe for safekeeping. This theory is bolstered by various legends and the mysterious wealth and power of the Knights Templar. However, like other theories, it lacks solid evidence.

Under the Temple Mount in Jerusalem:

  • Summary: There is also a persistent theory that the Ark is hidden in a chamber underneath the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. This is based on the belief that the Ark was secreted away during the reign of King Josiah or before the Babylonian conquest to prevent its capture.
  • Reason for Belief: The Temple Mount was the last known location of the Ark, as it was housed in the First Temple. Some Jewish and Christian scholars believe that there are hidden chambers beneath the Temple Mount that have not been explored due to political and religious sensitivities in the region. The fact that the area is inaccessible for archaeological exploration adds to the mystery and perpetuates the theory.

Each of these theories has its proponents and a mixture of historical, religious, and anecdotal evidence, but none can be conclusively proven with the current available evidence. The Ark’s final resting place remains one of history’s great unsolved mysteries.

Now let’s go to two of the top experts and favorites of mine, Chuck Missler and Dr. Michael Heiser as they discuss these theories and which they think is most likely:

And now the latest….

Is the Ark actually under the Temple Mount in Jerusalem?

Does that explain why there’s so much conflict there?

Sure does make sense to me!

Here’s more, from WND:

It would almost inarguably be the greatest archaeological find in history.

Movies have been made about it.

Voluminous books have explored its whereabouts.

It’s an artifact that combines faith, science and history.

It’s the Ark of the Covenant – the gold-laden box made by Moses with the specific instructions of God to hold the Ten Commandments and serve as a meeting place between man and his Creator.

One of the persistent theories about the whereabouts of the Ark is that it lay buried in secret tunnels and passageways constructed by King Solomon for the specific purpose of keeping it from enemies who might one day capture and destroy the Temple.

Now there is compelling new evidence that’s just what happened – and that the Ark still rests beneath the chamber known as the Holy of Holies, moved there through an elaborate machine constructed under the direction of Solomon long before the invasion of the Babylonians and the sacking of the Temple.

Most of the evidence for this theory of the Ark’s location comes right out of the Bible – in passages discussed in a two-part video documentary by Michael Rood called “The Great Secret of Solomon’s Temple and the Hiding of the Ark of the Covenant.” This three-hour presentation will keep you spellbound with its references to little-studied Bible verses that provide hints of about how the Ark was preserved from the invaders.

But WND has confirmed at least some of the story with archaeological sources secretly working within the tunnel structure beneath the Temple Mount.

Even more astonishing is the theory propounded on the specific location of the Ark – a theory that, if true – would have more meaning to followers of Yeshua as Messiah and Savior than most Christians could ever imagine.

Without question, the Bible seems to detail the lengths to which Solomon went to protect the Ark, with a sand-hydraulic elevator in the Holy of Holies. An emergency escape route and the stone sarcophagus in which the Ark was hidden during the siege by King Nebuchadnezzar have already been discovered in the tunnel system that honeycombs Mount Moriah.

Much more here, from my friend Ruslan:

What do you think?

Does that make a lot of sense?

Did We Just Discover The Location Of The Garden Of Eden?

Some of you may know Rob Skiba.

For those who don’t, you’re in for a real treat.

Sadly, we lost Rob a couple years ago in what I and many others feel was a COVID-related death and perhaps a targeted “hit”.

You see, Rob was a truth seeker.

Not just a truth seeker but a truth TEACHER.

Our Mission around here is to search out and print the Truth wherever we find it, and I believe we do a great job at that Mission, but people like Rob who went before us paved the path and set a very high bar we can only hope to come close to replicating.

Rob taught Biblical Truth and his teaching often overlapped with teaching from other Giants in the Faith and Giants in the Truth Movement, namely Chuck Missler and Dr. Michael Heiser.

While I don’t believe they were closely affiliated personally, you would be hard-pressed to find a more formidable threesome of absolute GIANTS in the Truth Movement than Skiba, Missler and Heiser.

Their common gifting seemed to be taking very complex and scholarly topics, and often those on the fringes of what people would deem as “normal”, and being able to present them in a way that just made sense.

Not only made sense but was captivating and compelling!

I personally hated school, but I could listen to Skiba, Missler and Heiser for hours.

Sadly, we have now lost all three of them, and I don’t see many ready to pick up and run with their mantles.

Very sad.

Just 5 years ago we had all three still with us and now all gone.

Anyway, for those who know these men, you know what I’m saying is true.

If you don’t know one or all of them, oh my goodness are you in for a treat!

And thankfully we still have them with us on YouTube and Rumble.

But I wanted to talk about one very specific topic right now, and that is something I came across recently while listening to Rob Skiba.

Have you ever wondered where the Garden of Eden is?

If you’ve ever sat down to read your Bible and you start with Genesis, you start reading along and you find out the Bible tells you EXACTLY where it is.

It’s at the intersection of 4 Rivers.

So naturally after you read that in Genesis you think I want to go look that up on a map.

The problem becomes only two of those rivers are still with us.

The third is a dried up river.

And the fourth is a bit more of a mystery.

So you have some clues there but you quickly run into some dead ends.

Rob talks about all of that in the clip I’m about to show you, but then as he always did, he takes it way deeper.

He connects dots you’ve never even thought of before, but by the time you get to the end of this 11 minute clip, I think your mind is going to be blown.

As always, it’s all right there in front of us in Scripture, you just have to know what you’re looking for.

And in this particular case, it has everything to do with a place called “Shecham”.

Absolutely fascinating, I think your’e really going to enjoy this.

Watch right here:

Backup here on Twitter:

Pretty incredible, right?

When you know what you’re looking for, your Bible comes alive and it’s more fascinating than anything you could watch on TV or at the movies!

The greatest story ever told!

If you’d like to watch the entire video that clip is from, I have it for you below.

It’s from a Part 2 of a 4-Part series Rob did back in 2016.

I’ll post all four parts below.

Part 1:

Part 2:

Part 3:

Part 4:

And if you absolutely loved all of that, may I introduce you to Dr. Michael Heiser next?

The Bible That Your Pastor Won’t Teach You!

My mission with this website has always been to print the TRUTH that “mainstream” sources don’t want you to see.

Most of the time, the mainstream is the “mainstream media”.

ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN….political, breaking-news type stories.

Other times it’s the Financial Media when we talk about gold, silver, cryptocurrencies and CBDCs.

But there’s another category.

Biblical truth!

Here’s a simple phrase you should memorize:  “All truth is God’s truth or it’s not true”.

Simple, but let that soak in.

There’s God’s truth (objective truth) and then there’s everything else.

There’s not “my truth” and “your truth”.

There’s “my opinion” and “your opinion” — and then there’s one truth.

So what is the one truth?

That’s the key question, isn’t it?

That truth is what’s written in God’s Word.

God tells us he exalts his NAME above most everything else — the name of God is Holy.

His name is not “God” by the way, it’s YHWH.

But did you know the Bible says he exacts his WORD even above his name?

Psalm 138:

I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; for You have magnified Your word above all Your name. (Psalm 138:2 NKJV)

The Bible later tells us Jesus Christ IS the WORD.

So you can see the Word of God becomes extremely important.

But then…how do we interpret it?

How do we teach it?

What do we do with the parts that we don’t understand or make us feel uncomfortable?

That’s the point of this article.

I want to introduce you to a guy named Dr. Michael Heiser, who sadly died recently.

He’s a semitic language scholar, but he’s basically one of the best of the best.

But what makes Dr. Heiser special is he has this ability to take really complex, scholarly things and explain them in such simple ways….and in a way that will capture your attention like nothing else.

Church should not be boring…

The Bible is not boring…

God is not boring….

But so many times it’s presented in a boring way.

What a shame.

I could have picked almost any YouTube video from Dr. Heiser to show you, but I picked this 4-part series because I think it’s one of his best.

This is going to open your eyes to understanding the Bible in a way that connects so many dots.

For example, where do Demons come from?

Did God create them?

Why are they here?

Why is evil here?

Why are things so messed up on the Earth?

Heiser says modern Christians will typically give one answer to that last question (the Fall in Genesis) but ancient Israelites would have easily pointed to THREE answers.

When you hear all three things will make a lot more sense.

How about these questions:

Why does God command Israel to kill all the men, women and children in every country they defeat?  Isn’t that kind of homicidal?  Genocidal?

These are real questions and you need real answers.

Why do all the other countries other than Israel all have their own “gods”?

Is that just made up hocus pocus or does it come from something?

What does the Bible mean when it refers to Israel as being “YHWH’s portion”?

I could go on and on and on, but I want to get you to the videos.

I’m going to give you all the YouTube links first and then Rumble links second for safe keeping.

Now let’s take a step even deeper, ok with you?

My Take On The “Coming Great Deception”

The Bible tells us very clearly that there is coming in the future a “Deception” so great that even believers will be fooled by it.

That’s not really up for debate.

The only thing up for debate is (1) what is it, and (2) has it already started?

I’m going to give you my opinion on both of those questions in this article and then I want to hear what YOU think!

First I have to put this in context.

Third years ago, if I would have tried to have a serious debate and discussion about whether “aliens” are real, I would have been laughed out of the room.

Today?

Today it’s not only debated in Congress but actual testimony to Congress from multiple sources all say they’re real, they’ve seen them, we have many of their craft/vessels, and we even have “biologics”.

“Biologics” = we have recovered or captured alien bodies.

Folks, that is not Noah on the Internet saying I think those things are true.

That is Noah reporting to you that this was DIRECT TESTIMONY given to Congress just a few weeks ago.

In fact, we Live Streamed the testimony live on my Rumble channel, which you can see right here if you want:

I’m just setting the stage and then we’re going to dive right in….and go DEEP!

Against that backdrop we also have Mr. Space himself, Elon Musk, saying:  “I haven’t seen any evidence of aliens…and I would think I should know!”

Here is a pretty famous clip of Elon being asked about Aliens and responding by saying he’s seen a lot into space and has never seen any evidence of Aliens.

Watch:

Now let me blow your mind for a second….

I think Elon is right.

And I think it lines up EXACTLY with what I’ve been telling you for the past several years.

As usual, we’re sometimes early but we’re often right on the money with our reporting.

So I think Elon is correct and telling the truth when he says he doesn’t see any evidence of Aliens when he looks out in Space….and yet, something is clearly happening.

The sightings are increasing.

They don’t seem to all be fakes.

We have a VAST rise in technology since the 1940s and the alleged alien crash in Roswell, NM.

Suddenly technology starts accelerating at a rate we have never seen before in history.

A pace that suggests perhaps it’s less organic discovery and more reverse engineering of advanced technology.

Heck, even Jack Dorsey just today posted this to Twitter:

That would be a flying saucer, in case you couldn’t tell.

Remember, these people ALWAYS tell you what’s coming before it happens.

I don’t know why, but it seems to be written into their rules that they have to tell you what they do before they do it.

So we have all the EVIDENCE of aliens, we have Jack Dorsey Tweeting about Aliens, we even have Tucker Carlson doing shows on Aliens and saying he’s been given evidence they exist….and yet, I also think Elon Musk is right when he says he sees no evidence of them in Space.

How can both be right?

Simple: because they aren’t “aliens” and they aren’t coming from Space.

They are the disembodied Nephilim coming straight out of Genesis 6:4.

It’s right in your Bibles folks, look it up!

It starts in Genesis 6:4 and then continues throughout the entire Old Testament!

And they don’t come and go from “Space”.

They come and go from different dimensions that we can’t see.

That’s why they can appear and disappear in what looks to us like a flash.

If you’re thinking I’ve lost it, stick with me and I’ll tie it all together for you, with Bible references and all.

Stay with me!

I don’t want to get too bogged down with science and dimensions, but the jump from 2D to 3D will help you understand 3D to 4D:

This one is even better and goes deeper (still only 5 minutes)…
