Mankind has been marching into war behind symbols of power and honor symbolized in flags, banners, standards, etc. They feared this God for the reason He might be more powerful than their god, Dagon. It is interesting to note the Philistines knew about the God of Israel and what He had done on their behalf in Egypt.
Arc raiders of the lost ark series#
A series of disasters fell upon the Philistines which are recorded here in these two chapters. In I Samuel 5 & 6 we read of what happened when the Ark of God was taken by the Philistine raiders. This rock is the rock referred to in the Dome of the Rock which now sits on the Temple Mount. The only thing in the Holy of Holies was the foundation stone on which set the Ark originally. It is interesting to note, when the second temple was built, there was no Ark in the Holy of Holies. Its existence and location remain uncertain and mystery to this day.
Scholars believe when the Temple was destroyed and plundered, the Ark was either taken by King Nebuchadnezzar and destroyed or hidden by the Levites. The Ark which is described in detail in the Book of Exodus was lost when the Babylonians destroyed the temple in 586BC. The first in the series of movies was a search which has fascinated men for centuries, a search for the Lost Ark of God. In 1981, America was introduced to a fictional character developed by Stephen Spielberg named Indiana Jones.
