To those who have died for their faith…
may you never discover you were fooled.

The tabernacle is also described in the Old Testament and the tent that was constructed to protect God’s temple was not just a portable building, but also indeed a shrine of its own. Although its powers were not widely written about, it was rumored that anyone who entered the shelter would be cured of any diseases and even the dead could be raised again to the ranks of the living.
Strange but true, only a portion of the power of the Holy Ark was illustrated to God’s chosen people. The Israelites followed it throughout the desert for 40 years before using its presence to destroy the city/state of the Canaanites. After Moses died upon viewing the Promised Land, Joshua succeeded him and after God’s will parted another river’s water for His chosen people they reached the walls of Jericho. The impregnable walls appeared to be impossible for any invaders to breach, but the army of God had no doubts about the ark’s ability having just crossed the Jordan River without getting their feet wet. Leading the way was the Ark of the Covenant that was carried by four priests. For six days and nights the high priests slowly walked about the outer walls of Jericho while the citizens and army within wondered just what was going on. Then on the seventh day before the sun rose the priests instructed all of their troops to pack their ears with cotton, wax and flax and while turning their eyes away from the wall yell out at dawn with all their might. When all the preparations were in place the highest priest who knew he might lose his life, volunteered for the honor of opening the ark. After all the protective prayers were said the priest was dressed in a golden suite of armor and prepared himself to endure the ecstasy of the power within the ark. When the chosen people were safe in place and started their battle cry at dawn, the priest barely cracked open the lid of the ark and a thundering roar of wind and light came surging out like a wild hurricane and all of the city’s walls tumbled and crumbled to dirt and dust. As the lid fell shut the city’s citizens and troops were in utter confusion and shock. Before their state of awe subsided the troops of God walked over the rubble and slaughtered them all while they were still standing in place.
