>>21657284the Old Testament was written to explain what was going on with those cast out of Gods presence.
in order to still live and be with God the ark was given so that even in a fallen state man could seek out God.
but after the birth of Jesus, the blessed son of God, we were given the opportunity to return to God, and in the process, he no longer dwells in temples made with hands, nor is he in the ark, but in man.
mankind is now the temple, and the ark indwelling.
the problem that jews have is that they have no ark nor God indwelling, so they are lost without direction or hope, till they repent and find Jesus.
their loss is in our favor and that of the world, since it means that the kingdom of heaven can be populated still by gentiles, but once that door closes, hopelessness will be the only thing gentiles know.

the box itself had other ornaments.
