What did Mary Nell say about the Ark of the Covenant?

What is the Mercy Seat?
As I demonstrated in part #1 of this series, the Mercy Seat is the lid of the Ark of the Covenant and is affiliated with the day of Atonement, not the day of Passover. The important days for assembly in Israel were Passover, Pentecost, Trumpets, Atonement and Tabernacles. Every one of these days would be fulfilled in the administration of the ministry of Christ. As I demonstrated in my brochure The Day The Word Became Flesh, Christ was born on the Day of Trumpets. On the preparation day of Passover, Christ (the Lamb) was crucified in accordance with the first Passover in Egypt when the lambs were slain and the blood applied to the door posts of each Israelite home. Whereas, the Day of Atonement was celebrated on the 10th day of the seventh month when two goats were selected; one to be killed for a sacrifice, and the other to be let go free with the sins of Israel laid upon it, as being a scapegoat. The last major assembly was the gathering for Tabernacles. Ron Wyatt’s blunder is that he is attempting to have Christ crucified on the Day of Atonement rather than at Passover!

Of all the scam-artists who have ever existed on planet Earth, Ron Wyatt takes first prize over them all! His story of finding the Ark of the Covenant in a cave in or near Jerusalem, along with Christ’s blood on the Mercy Seat, surely places all other dreamed-up scams before his, since the foundation of the world, in an inferior second place! And then he gave his bogus report that, “Each cell contained only 24 chromosomes compared to the normal count of 46 that you and I have”. When Wyatt made the bogus claim that “Christ received 23 chromosomes from Mary, and one ‘y’ chromosome from His heavenly Father to designate a male child”, he outdid his first lie!

Why do Christians believe things should align perfectly?
Part of this gullibility, in my opinion, derives from the idea, or the desire that things should align “PERFECTLY” with our faith. Christians want to believe that all the history and archaeology and science etc lines up PERFECTLY not only with our faith in general but with our specific personal understanding of the christian faith. If things don’t line up perfectly then we often prefer to believe that there is some conspiracy to hide the truth, which would line up perfectly if only it were allowed to see the light of day.

Why did Wyatt believe the Ark was the hiding place?
This most novel of sites has been proposed as the hiding place because Wyatt believes it fits the concept of Jesus as the High Priest offering the final blood atonement. To accomplish this, Watt figured, would require the Ark. So Wyatt speculated that when Jesus was crucified on the top of this hill, His blood must have run through a socket hole in which the cross was set, dripped down through a crack in the mountain (caused by the earthquake recorded in Matthew 27:51), and finally landed on the mercy seat of the Ark, which was positioned in a subterranean chamber some 60 feet beneath the mountain.

What is Christ’s ministry?
He is a minister of the true tabernacle which the Lord pitched and not man. . . . A daily and yearly typical atonement is no longer to be made, but the atoning sacrifice through a mediator is essential because of the constant commission of sin. Jesus is officiating in the presence of God, offering up His shed blood, as it had been a lamb slain. . . . Christ, our Mediator, and the Holy Spirit are constantly interceding in man’s behalf, but the Spirit pleads not for us as does Christ who presents His blood, shed from the foundation of the world; the Spirit works upon our hearts, drawing out prayers and penitence, praise and thanksgiving. . . .” {TMK 75.2,3}

Why did Ron Wyatt suppress his discoveries?
Ron Wyatt supporters will often claim that his discoveries were suppressed because of professional jealousy. I know numerous biblical archaeologists personally, and I have interviewed numerous others. They are humble and frequently collaborate and support each other’s work, even if they don’t always agree with each other’s conclusions. “Professional jealousy” is a highly inaccurate description of the real world of biblical archaeology. The reality is that the Associates for Biblical Research (www.BibleArchaeology.org) , a group of Christian archaeologists and scholars who are dedicated to demonstrating the historical reliability of Scripture, often promote the findings of other archaeologists who have made legitimate discoveries in a controlled archaeological excavation. The reason they do not promote Ron Wyatt’s work has nothing to do with professional je alousy; it has everything to do his unsubstantiated, unscholarly, and, quite possibly, fraudulent claims.
