The Ark and Islam – Open letter to muslims

By R.Tourniaire

There are several Muslims today who are searching for the Ark of the Covenant, but what if a Muslim has already found it and the Islamic world still have to accept it? What does the Ark of the Covenant mean to a faithful Muslim?

I have an interesting quote from one of several Muslim ark hunters today (not representative for all Muslims):

“As stated in the Qur’an, the Ark of the Covenant is “a sign” for the faithful (Surah, 2:248 Yusuf Ali), for which reason believers have looked for it down the years. The fact that it has remained lost despite all this detailed research may be an indication that it will be found in our own time, when a great many portents regarding the end times have been fulfilled. (Almighty Allah knows best.)” (source )

In addition to the Qur’an there is the hadith. The hadiths are reports and traditions of Mohammed’s teachings collected after his death. Different hadiths claim the Ark is hidden in different locations. Therefore it is reasonable to assume that the authors didn’t know it’s exact whereabouts. Locations like by Lake Tiberias** and Antioch are among those places mentioned in regard to the Ark.

**(Iqd al-Durar fi Akbar al-Imam al-Muntadhar, by Shaikh Jamaluddin Yusuf al-Damishqi, p. 51-a)

Either way, many think that it will be found by the Mahdi in the end times and it will be a symbol of his dominion.

“The reason he will be known as the Mahdi is that he will show the way to a hidden thing. He will bring the Ark to light from a place called Antioch. (Suyuti, al-Hawi li’l Fatawa, II, 82)” (source, External link)

In an interview with one of the Muslim ark hunters it is proclaimed:

“Yes, after the descent. The Ark of the Covenant will be opened. That is the reason for that procession, in any case. They will go up to the Temple of the Mount. It is not a very steep hill. There will be rabbis. The Mahdi will be there. Insha’Allah, I will be beside the Mahdi. I do not miss such encounters. The Pope will be there. They elected him specially for that task. The Pope knows about the Mahdi and Jesus the Messiah. I underline that – he knows. He knows what to do and how to behave to whom. Chief rabbis and Islamic scholars will be there on that day. They will be reasonable scholars though, not fanatics. There will not be any fanatics there on that day.

They will descend from the Temple of the Mount. That rusted iron gate will be opened after 4000 years. Nobody has gone through since then. The gate will be opened and they will pass through. And from there to the al-Aqsa Mosque, insha’Allah. Maybe the Knights of the Temple will be there, and Freemasons. The Ark will be brought up. It will contain sacred relics from the time of the Prophet Solomon and the Prophet Moses. It will be the original Ark of the Covenant.” (source: External link)

The Mahdi is thought to be the forerunner to Jesus’ second coming which Muslims do believe in. However there is no reference to the Mahdi in the Koran, it mostly comes from the hadiths. It is understood that the Mahdi as a great end time persona will battle the antichrist himself, but there are different traditions and understandings between Muslims of Mahdi’s mission. Already many have claimed to be the Madhi. Now many Christians have a similar belief that a prophet like Elijah will come before Christ’s second coming, but unlike Muslims and Jews, Christians don’t have oral traditions regarding such a figure, so usually don’t go past the Bible teaching when it comes to this Elijah.

There is no reference to the Mahdi in the earliest hadiths leading some to believe the tradition is inspired by Jewish and Christian expectations. What’s more the original prediction of the Mahdi in the beginning differs slightly from the one most widely circulated now. This leaves us with a more open understanding of the Madhi.

Like other Abrahamic religions, Islam teaches the resurrection of the dead, a final tribulation, eternal division of the righteous and the wicked and Armageddon or the “Fitnah”. While there are many similarities between all the different Islamic, Christian and Jewish teachings, they do have a common understanding of a final judgement and the coming of Messiah (which Muslims and Christians think is Jesus of course). In the Tanakh, the New Testament and in Islamic tradition a great moral decline is predicted, a terrible growth of lawlessness, and a falling away from God’s moral standard will take place in the end times – and we all have to admit that that has taken place.

All versions of the Abrahamic religions think they have understood the end time scenario correctly, but what if the Muslim thoughts are correct but have some important details missing? For example, what would really happen if one day Islam was confronted by the Ark of the Covenant? Would it’s judgement be for them or against them? Would it lead to a reformation back to the foundations upon which Islam was built? We know that the Jews rejected Jesus, considered a prophet in Islam, because they put so much unbending weight upon their traditional understanding of the Messiah’s mission. That is what is so often the problem with traditions. The traditional Jewish interpretation of Messiah led to them rejecting Jesus as the Messiah.

“We believe in God, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) Prophets from their Lord. We make no difference between one and another of them.” Surah (2):136

“If only they had stood fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that was sent to them from their Lord, they would have enjoyed happiness from every side. There is from among them a party on the right course: but many of them follow a course that is evil.” Surah 5:66 (Yusuf Ali)

Muslims do believe in the biblical prophets and of course Moses, and have for many generations benefited from his teachings. Could the predicted falling away in the end time also be tied to a Muslim falling away? That is, instead of the world needing to turn to Islamic values, do the Muslims themselves need to evaluate if perhaps they are in need of reformation as well?

We humans tend to be a bit like this. Like Jesus said, “And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” (Matthew 7:1-4).

I’m certainly not saying Jews and Christians are without fault and have all perfectly prepared for the end times. I’m saying, what if the average Muslim isn’t prepared either, and that the Ark of the Covenant might enlighten everyone on their position with Allah or God. Muslims believe wholeheartedly in the re-establishment of the true faith in the end times, but it is important that the Muslim understands that this is relevant to their own misunderstandings too. Right now there is a huge inconsistency in the teachings of the imams and the real foundation of Islam. Mohammed didn’t start a new religion, that‘s an idea that comes from Thomas Aquinas, a Catholic scholar. Muhammed claimed to continue the teachings of the ancient prophets like Abraham, Moses and later Jesus. “It is He Who has sent down the Book (the Qur’an) to you (Muhammad SAW) with truth, confirming what came before it. And he sent down the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel).” Sura. 3:3, Al-Hilali & Khan.

“And in their footsteps We sent Jesus the son of Mary, confirming the Law that had come before him: We sent him the Gospel: therein was guidance and light, and confirmation of the Law that had come before him: a guidance and an admonition to those who fear Allah.” Surah 5:46, Yusuf Ali.

“If only they had stood fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that was sent to them from their Lord, they would have enjoyed happiness from every side. There is from among them a party on the right course: but many of them follow a course that is evil.” Surah 5:66, Yusuf Ali. 

The Torah is the law, and the gospels are the books pertaining to the life of Christ. And the book of Revelation in the Bible says that these two things are the characteristics identifying God’s faithful people in the end times, “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.“ (Revelation 14:12).

But what if Abraham, Moses and Jesus now contradict the teachings of many imams? Then how would it all harmonise?

“If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee, then ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee: the Truth hath indeed come to thee from thy Lord: so be in no wise of those in doubt.” Surah 10:94, Yusuf Ali.

“Nor be of those who reject the signs of Allah, or thou shalt be of those who perish.” Surah 10:95, Yusuf Ali.

The bond that has been severed between true Bible Christians and Muslims might never have happened if the idea that the Bible was corrupt and even altered by man, had surfaced, convincing Muslims they could no longer trust the Bible teachers. This idea might have led Muslims away from the enlightenment that Allah or God intended for them in the last days. Perhaps Muslims, being convinced not to read the Bible, Torah or the Gospels, is one of the areas where they need reformation.

Perhaps the Allah Himself has given a sign to Muslims in order to call them to reformation, but He didn’t use a great imam, just a young shepherd boy named Muhammed edh-Dhib and his cousin Jum’a Muhammed and Khalil Musa. Between November 1946 and February 1947 they made a major discovery of several scrolls – ancient copies of the Bible. Note that although these scrolls are now of great importance to the Jewish nation, it was Muslims that were first led to them. Maybe because there was a message to the Muslim world who for a long time now have rejected these writings being taught they were corrupted.

Many imams and their traditions teach that the Bible has been altered since then – but the discoveries made by the shepherd boys testify that this is not true. Subsequently more scrolls were discovered by other Muslim Bedouins, which proved to date from the 1^st century, the time Muslim tradition says they weren’t corrupted – and the scrolls proved the Bible hasn’t changed. You must remember that when the Qur’an refers to “The Book” there was no Qur’an. The Qur’an had still not been compiled, so the following verses clearly show that the Bible was to be an important book in order for the Muslim not to stray away:

“They say: “Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?” Has not a Clear Sign come to them of all that was in the former Books of revelation.” Surah 20:133, Yusuf Ali.

“O People of the Book Ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord.” Surah 5:68.

“Say (O Muhammad, to mankind): Who is an enemy to Gabriel! For he it is who hath revealed (this Scripture) to thy heart by Allah’s leave, confirming that which was (revealed) before it, and a guidance and glad tidings to believers;” Surah 2:89, Pickthall.

“Say: “Shall I seek for judge other than Allah? – when He it is Who hath sent unto you the Book, explained in detail.” They know full well, to whom We have given the Book, that it hath been sent down from thy Lord in truth. Never be then of those who doubt.” 6:114 Yusuf Ali

While it is true many translations of the Bible has been tampered with and there are several versions in circulation today, the changes are relatively minor and regardless of that, it is still possible to read one that has not been tampered with anyway. In fact one of these versions has been proven to be uncorrupted by the Muslim discovery. The King James version was in fact once saved from corruption when the Muslim armies attacked Constantinople: “God allowed the Muslim armies to attack Constantinople before the Aramaic Bible was accepted by the Greek Church. The Greek monks of Constantinople fled their churches with the Greek manuscripts they had from Antioch and the Eastern churches not polluted by Syrian pagan notions from Mesopotamia. Thus, the King James Bible was protected by God from pollution by the Aramaic texts.» (1)

So what does it all mean? Well the word of the Qur’an still stands, which teaches the true Bible believers have something to give the Muslim in regard to understanding – but not all who preach the Gospel keep the Torah too. The vast, vast majority of Christians claiming to believe the Bible actually twist it’s words, and this is why they eat unclean meat and disobey the Torah in almost every regard. However there are still Christians who do not do this, who are still faithful to the Torah and the Gospel and interpret the Bible correctly.

“When before it there was the Scripture of Moses, an example and a mercy; and this is a confirming Scripture in the Arabic language, that it may warn those who do wrong and bring good tidings for the righteous.” Surah 46:12, Picthall.

“The word of thy Lord doth find its fulfilment in truth and in justice: No one can change His words: for He is the one who heareth and knoweth all.” Surah 6:115, Yusuf Ali.

Please remember this as we continue: “NO ONE CAN CHANGE HIS WORDS”.

You must understand that Christianity has suffered a great division. Catholicism, under the pope, was for centuries persecuting and even putting to death Christians that didn’t accept their view of the Bible. There has always been Christians who refused to pray to icons and idols, and rejected all the pagan elements that were adopted into the church during the transition from pagan Rome to “Christian” Rome. Did you know this is actually part of Islamic history too, which I’ll explain in a moment?

Now as Christianity became more and more corrupted three or four centuries after Christ, a large party in the Byzantine era joined Mohammed in a what was for them a reformation movement. Idols were cast away and a more biblical understanding of prayer and worship was established. Many Muslims are perhaps unaware that not all Christians were corrupted, and there has been a line of believers that have stayed faithful to the prophets of the Old Testament, Moses and their faith in Jesus – and they were severely persecuted for it! “They are not [all] the same; among the People of the Scripture is a community standing [in obedience], reciting the verses of Allah during periods of the night and prostrating [in prayer].” Surah 3:113, Sahih International.

When the wars started between papal Europe and the Islamic rulers and later the caliphs, many of those who were true torah keeping Christians experienced temporally help as the islamic armies kept their persecutors busy , but the persecution in Europe was so great that they still disappeared in vast numbers during the middle ages. Many tried to reform back to a more biblical religion, but they were opposed and persecuted and largely prevented from doing so. When the Ottoman Empire later began their military campaigns it gave the Christian Reformation a boost, and the result of the Reformation in Europe was the end of papal persecution. As Muslims are often not taught this part of their history, they don’t realise that they once helped true Christians and even helped persecuted Jews from papal persecution, and such historical ignorance is causing a misunderstanding which leads them to reject those they ought not. Today there is an enormous amount of media-fuelled propaganda from both Islam and the west, trying to cause strife and conflict between the religions. Sometimes the media in the west almost only show horrible stories of injustice from Muslim countries making it appear as this behaviour is the result of someone following Allah. While those stories should more rightly be tied to people who has fallen away or even ignorant of the true Islamic values or have followed a deceitful religious leader. Those that know the Lord should be careful before lifting their sword. Allah (or God) is merciful and I’m sure He will help in the current reformation of everyone who has been led astray but are willing to listen, including those Muslims who have been led astray, who are the children of Abraham physically or spiritually.

The Bible teaches that anyone should fear taking another man’s life for: “he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.» (Revelation 13:10)

So then, did you know that in 1982 another Muslim was about to make another startling discovery. This discovery, like that of the scrolls, revealed exactly where the Muslim would need to reform. Is the general Muslim population in harmony with Moses, the Torah and the Ark or unknowingly in opposition due to some misunderstanding?

In 1979 a man named Ron Wyatt started searching for the Ark of the Covenant after a divine calling. He respected both the Torah and believed the Gospel. He was directed to a site just north of the Old City in Jerusalem, which at that time was in the Muslim section of the city. This mountain is identified by most Protestants as the real “Skull Hill” where Jesus was believed to have been crucified. Now many Muslims don’t believe Jesus actually died of course, but only because the Qur’an says, “That they said (in their boast), “We killed the Messiah Isa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary), The Messenger of Allah” – but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety They killed him not – Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise” Qur’an 4:157-158.

What if the meaning of this verse is that no human could kill Jesus. He gave his life, and this verse points to the fact that Allah raised Him up unto Himself.

Jesus did die for a short moment, the Qur’an even says so!

Jesus says “…but when Thou didst cause me to die, Thou wert the watcher over them, and Thou art witness of all things.” (Surah. 5:117, Shakir).

The Bible says the same thing, “Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.” (John 10.17-18).

Ron Wyatt started excavating through many of the caves and tunnels inside this mountain which is actually the northern portion of the mountain upon which the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa mosque is situated. The mountain is believed to be where Mohammed was during his night journey, and before he was taken to heaven. Many also think it is upon this mountain the whole world will have to stand and be judged. But judged according to what law? On the northern wall of the Dome of the Rock which directly faces the part of the mountain where Ron Wyatt was excavating, is written, ‘Allah has no son‘ three times in different ways.

The teaching that Jesus was not God’s son but just a prophet is important to many Muslims.

The Qur’an writes this many times, but it is actually an argument against the Trinity, which was a major debate during Mohammed’s time. It is also an argument that God did not have a son the way people have a son. He had no relationship with women.

He is Mary’s son, which is written several times as His surname, “Isa Ibn Maryam”.

Usually the Arabs name their sons after a line of his fathers and some times grandfathers name, but Jesus only had his mothers name because Joseph was not his father. So who was his father?

“(And remember) when the angels said: O Mary! Lo! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a word from him, whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, illustrious in the world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (unto Allah)”. Surah 3:45, Pickthall.

“And Mary the daughter of ‘Imran, who guarded her chastity; and We breathed into (her body) of Our spirit; and she testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of His Revelations, and was one of the devout (servants).” Surah 66:12, Yusuf Ali.

Photo: The area Ron excavated. The photo also show one of the cave entrances leading into the mountain. Part of an earthquake crack can be seen extending downward.

Whilst excavating, Ron seemed to come up against immovable obstacles which prevented him from finding the Ark of the Covenant – until in January of 1982 he received help from a Muslim man. This Muslim would crawl into small caves and openings that Ron himself couldn’t. Eventually he squeezed into a very tight hole in the cave system, and inside was a small chamber filled almost to the roof with rocks. Near the cave wall, stood a large stone box. The man’s heart was instantly filled with terror beyond measure, in the box was the original Ark of the Covenant and he was only feet away! He could feel it’s presence strongly. The fear of it’s presence was so great that he instantly fled the cave and the entire cave system crying out, “What’s in there? What’s in there?”. Ron later explained that he never would have enlarged the hole and crawled in himself if that hadn’t have happened – he never would have found the Ark of the Covenant if it hadn’t been for this Muslim’s witness. So it was a Muslim who was the first to enter the chamber with the Ark of the Covenant for the first time since it had been hidden before the destruction of the first temple. But why couldn’t he face it without such terror? This discovery proved to serve as a correction to Islamic beliefs in two important areas – perhaps it is even supposed to be the discovery designed to reform Muslims to their roots and prepare them for the day of judgement.

On top of the stone case was a lid, broken in two. Directly above that was an earthquake crack that Ron later discovered communicated with a cross hole 6 meters above. Some brownish material had spilled through the crack and onto the lid, or the mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant.

The brownish material proved to be ancient blood when Ron took it to a laboratory to have it analyzed. The chromosomes showed that this was blood from a man with 23 chromosome from his mother, but no paternal chromosomes from a father. There was only one Y-chromosome which would determine the man’s gender. This could only be the blood of a man with no earthly father, only a mother, just like the Qur’an and the Bible teaches about Jesus.

So this discovery showed that Jesus had died on the cross and as the Bible explains, there was an earthquake when he died and the ground was cracked in two. (Se Matthew 27:51) In fact there is still evidence of the earthquake crack which :can be seen from near the top of the mountain and down towards the cross hole, and from the cross hole to the cave with the Ark. The Bible also explains that after Jesus had died a soldier pierced his side with a spear, and water and blood gushed out.

According to the discovery, the blood had spilled down the earthquake crack and onto the Ark of the Covenant. The lid of the Ark, known as the mercy seat, was the place where the animal blood used to be sprinkled for the atonement of sins. The sin was the breaking of the law that was inside the Ark. Inside the Ark is the Ten Commandments written by Allah, or God’s own finger, and given to Moses. This proved that Jesus did die before ascending to heaven, and that his death was the atonement for the sins of the world. He took my sin, my punishment. Just like Abraham when his son’s life was spared, and the prophet Abraham was given a ram instead. In Surah 37:107 we read, “And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:”

“And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram, caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.” (Gen 22:13)

He was not just a prophet. He took our place in the judgement if we will accept it – and in that judgement we will be judged by the law.

The lambs that the prophets slaughtered represented the way to be reconciled with the Lord. He who violates the law must die, but the sacrifices represented someone who would die in our place. This is “the Gospel” that the writers of the Qur’an originally referred to, that Jesus took upon him the sins of the world and died instead of the sinner. We have a chance to receive pardon for our sins, and the Muslim knows, that Jesus is alive and is coming back, but we need to receive or accept his gift of salvation before he comes.

Although Muslims once had been true to this law that is inside the Ark of the Covenant, today most of them are not, and there is one particular commandment that is especially forgotten. The fourth commandment says, “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.” (Exodus 20:8-11).

And the Qur’an even states it’s importance, “And well ye knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath: We said to them: “Be ye apes, despised and rejected.” Surah 2:65.

“Ye People of the Book! believe in what We have revealed, confirming what was (already) with you (Bible), before We change the face and fame of some (of you) beyond all recognition, and turn them hindwards, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers, for the decision of Allah Must be carried out.” An-Nisa, 4.47.

So what happened? Why did the Sabbath suddenly become unimportant to the Muslims who were supposed to stay true to the Torah and the Gospel? A symbol of Allah’s or God’s authority to judge the world, to rule over His creation. Why is the sign of His ownership of this planet so lightly regarded?

“He is the most mighty, the most wise. / Such is God’s favor: He bestows it on whomsoever He pleases. God is the Lord of abounding favor. / The parable of those who were charged with the Torah and then they failed to live up to it is that of a [stubborn] donkey laden with books. What an evil parable for the people who lie with God’s verses. God does not guide such wrong-doers.” Surah 62:3-5.

Today the majority of the Christian churches have overstepped God’s authority and changed the Sabbath. Instead of respecting the law and keeping it holy from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday they now keep Sunday holy and are trying to convince the whole world to keep this Sabbath that was originally established by the papacy, a most deceptive Christian ruler who persecuted both Jews, Muslims and true Bible Christians. Even Israel have given after the pressure of making Sunday a day of rest together with Saturday in order to function better with the rest of the world. Many Jews still respect the Sabbath, and the Muslim Friday prayer was most likely the prayer that was supposed to be given at the entrance of the Sabbath at sundown. But at some point, Muslims started focusing on Friday as if that day was special, and chose to disregard the Sabbath of the law. Keeping the law was meant to help Muslims stay on the right path, but disregarding it has led many astray. In no language is the word sabbath tied to Sunday or Friday. Remember that when Allah confused the languages at the tower of Babel He had the advantage to place knowledge of His law in them. In Arabic it’s Assabt . In chaldee syriac (Kurdistan, Urumia, Persia); Shaptu. In Armenian Shabat. Bosnian:  Subota Bulgarian:  Sabota Corsican:  Sàbatu Croatian:  Subota Czech:  Sobota Georgian:  Sabati Greek:  Savvato Indonesian:  Sabtu Italian:  Sabato Latin:  Sabbatum Maltese:  is-Sibt Portuguese: S  ábado Romanian:  Sambata Russian:  Subbota Somali:  Sabti Sudanese:  Saptu, Swahili (east equatorial Africa): As-sabt, Bornu (central Africa): Assebdu (The sabbath), Mandingo (west Africa, s. of Senegal): (Sibiti) Coptic (Egypt): Pi sabbaton, Congo (West Equatorial Africa): Sabbado or Kiansbula, Turkish: Yomessabt, High German (Germany): Samstag
In different ancient languages Friday was called (translated) either the sixst day, eve of sabbath day or assembly day (Becouse they assemblied for sabbath at sunset friday)
In for instancce Afghanistan friday was called assembly day and saturday khali – unemployed-day, Shamba. (Source: http://www.sabbathtruth.com/free-resources/article-library/id/912/which-day-of-the-week)

The powerful testimony from Allah/God in all the languages shoes not only what day is the sabbath but also that he meant for it to apply to all nations, not just the jewish, and it also shows His zeal to advocate it. Although most countries have taken the lead of the western world and roman calender placing sunday as the seventh day in their calander the ir very own languages are witnessing of God’s true sabbath.

So the Muslim man who found the Ark of the Covenant, trembled when he came face-to-face with the law and the Ark because he was unprepared. While the other man who entered after him had respected all of the law and therefore did not fear in the same way. Muslims must understand the Gospel as they did in the beginning of time, and they must not disregard the Torah. If they are God’s or Allah’s people then they must show Him by showing respect for His commandments and authority.

On the great day of judgement the Muslim will be confronted by these two great decisions – the rejection of Christ as the redeemer of their sins, and their neglect of keeping the law – and especially the Sabbath commandment. In order for the Muslim to be prepared, the Bible must be read and understood properly. They have to reform back to the faith and practice of their forefathers.

Presently the Ark testifies against those Christians who oppose the law and think they can change it, and corrects the Jews for rejecting their Messiah, but it also has a message to the Muslim world. Remember, “NO ONE CAN CHANGE HIS WORDS”.

And, “It is He Who has sent down the Book (the Qur’an) to you (Muhammad SAW) with truth, confirming what came before it. And he sent down the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel).” Surah 3:3, Al-Hilali & Khan. The Torah is the law and the gospel the New Testament.

Muslims should be proud that the first person to ever enter the cave after all those years was a Muslim, but one day every Muslim must face the law in the Ark, and to not be struck by terror, they must repent and reform.

The Temple Mount has long been a place where tradition says Allah will judge from in the end times. The Bible proclaims that it is from the mountain the Dome of the Rock is standing upon, that the law will be revealed.

“And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.” (Micah 4:2).

If the Ark of the Covenant is brought to restore God’s rule then you cannot at the same time ignore the commandments that is inside it. Without the law the Ark is meaningless as the throne of its King. If the books of Moses are to be restored, Muslims need to go back to their principles – the law of the Creator.

We can stand at judgement day, if we allow Jesus’ death to be in place of ours, and because he was resurrected, death could not keep him, so we can be given life.

“The Word of thy Lord doth find its fulfillment in truth and in justice. None can change His Words.” Surat-ul An’am (6):115.

The words of the law cannot be changed. Either you keep it as it was written with the divine finger on Mount Sinai in Arabia, or you don’t. At one point many Muslims must decide if they will read and follow the Torah and the Gospel or lean to teachers teaching them otherwise.

The many revelations given to the Muslim world prove His love and enduring patience for everyone.

Ron Wyatt tells his story:
