Ron Wyatt’s discovery of the Ark of the Covenant in 1982 has attracted bitter criticism. Unfortunately there is little archaeological evidence to prove Ron Wyatt’s discovery of the Ark of the Covenant, so we will not attempt to prove his discovery of the Ark from archaeological sources.

We personally believe that Ron Wyatt did indeed discover the Ark of the Covenant in 1982, exactly as he said. At the time of his discovery in 1982, nobody had ever connected the Ark of the Covenant with the Crucifixion. The whole concept of the Blood of the Messiah falling on to the Mercy Seat, in complete fulfilment of the Old Covenant, was completely revolutionary to Christians. It was a complete revelation to Ron Wyatt himself at the time.

To most Christians, this concept is still completely new and revolutionary. We suggest that, rather than trying to prove the archaeological discovery by Ron Wyatt of the physical Ark of the Covenant, which is not possible, we concentrate instead on the Biblical support for this revolutionary new concept.

We cannot conclusively prove that Ron Wyatt discovered the physical Ark of the Covenant below the Crucifixion Site in 1982. Equally, nobody can prove that he did not discover the Ark of the Covenant. Ron Wyatt repeatedly said that the Ark of the Covenant will be revealed in the future, but only in God’s perfect timing.

However, if Ron Wyatt did not discover the Ark of the Covenant, then we can confidently predict that the Ark of the Covenant is still waiting to be discovered, under the Crucifixion Site. We can also confidently predict from Daniel 9:24 that the Blood of Jesus Christ will be found on the Mercy Seat, exactly as prophesied, and in complete fulfilment of the New Covenant in the Blood of Jesus Christ.

We believe that the Biblical Confirmation of the Ark of the Covenant Site is as follows:
