“Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.”
Revelation 11:19
This almost seems to be the Arc from earth, the one that was ‘missing,’ that’s why no one could ever find it. You question: Does God want the one made on earth since everything here is a copy of what’s in heaven? And Peter called silver and gold corruptible (1 Peter 1:18).
