Exodus 25

Today's reading, and likely the next few chapters, is about the things God told to Moses while up on the mountain. In particular, we get the specifications for building the Ark of the Testimony (or Covenant) - the same one that is referred to the Indiana Jones movie.

I'm sure I will read a lot more about this item as I make my way through the Old Testament, so I may come back to this subject again, but the topic of the current whereabouts of the Ark has always interested me. Some think it is hidden away somewhere here on Earth, as the movies tend to depict, and some religious groups even claim to know the location. But I've also heard that many think God has taken it to heaven; it does appear there in the book of Revelation, so perhaps it is already waiting there. If any readers of this blog have ideas or personal theories I would be curious to hear them :)
