Israeli journalist Alex Traiman wrote an article that appeared in many Jewish news publications last week, announcing that a new Ark of The Covenant replica, matching the ancient one that once was in the Tabernacle and first Jewish Temple in Jerusalem as described in the Old Testament scriptures, was now on display in Jerusalem.
This new Ark of The Covenant was mainly built in the United States, and after it was completed, it was delivered to the home of Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence, before it was taken to Israel to visit sites there, and finally ending up in Jerusalem in recent days.
During President Trump's first presidency, he became the first head of state to move their embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
It has been reported that Donald Trump converted to Judaism during his first term, and excitement among Zionists skyrocketed as it was reported that Donald Trump would spearhead efforts to build a new temple in Jerusalem, where currently the Al-Aqsa mosque stands.
Trump never got to complete this task, however, as he failed in his attempt to be re-elected in 2020.
While this new Ark of The Covenant is being called a "replica", Traiman writes that many Jews see it as a weapon to use in their current war against Palestinians and their Arab neighbors, much like it was used in battles in the Old Testament times, beginning with the fall of Jericho.
He also stated that it was a "divine communication device."
A new temple built in Jerusalem would not be possible without the support of American Zionists, most of whom are Christians.
Republican Zionists, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, former North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows, and many others have been traveling to Israel for years now, working with Kahanist activists and members of the "Temple Movement", to plan the destruction of the Al-Aqsa mosque, and the rebuilding of a new Jewish temple in Jerusalem.
Jewish Zionists who have now constructed this new Ark of The Covenant, believe that the Old Covenant under Moses, is still valid today, as they reject Jesus Christ as the Jewish Messiah.
This is official Jewish doctrine, and to disagree and state that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, and that he implemented the New Covenant, which supersedes the Old Covenant, is officially "Anti-Semitic" and "hate" speech against the Jews.
The current Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, has already passed legislation through the House of Representatives earlier this year (2024), that would make this the law of the land in the United States.
