My Chapel received two questions by way of email overnight. Since these topics may come up here at CFS as well, I'd like to provide the answers to those two questions here, in Bible Studies.
First, we were asked "where is the Ark of the Covenant today"?
If we look carefully at the text in
Revelation 11:19 (KJV) we see that when John was brought into the vision to see the future happenings, he actually saw the Ark of the Covenant in Heaven ( The Temple of God ). Those non Christian 'scientists and explorers' who keep searching for the golden Ark should just develop a little faith, and read
Revelation 11:19 (KJV). The answer is there for all to read.
Secondly, another email asked this question:
"What is the difference between B.C. and B.C.E in time dating"?
B.C. is a Christian reference to time and means "Before Christ."
Those non Christians who refuse to even recognize the birth of Christ as a historically and a religiously meaningful event have developed B.C.E. - which stands for Before the Current Era. No Christian should use B.C.E. or give any credence to those persons and organizations that do.
