The Ark is in my home and in my heart

2 Kings 25:1-30

The Babylonians broke up the bronze pillars, the movable stands and the bronze Sea that were at the temple of the LORD and they carried the bronze to Babylon. They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, dishes and all the bronze articles used in the temple service. 
There at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, the king had them executed. So Judah went into captivity, away from her land. 

The city falls to the Babylonian army, is looted and utterly destroyed. All but the poorest people left under governor Gedaliah, are taken into exile. But Gadaliah is murdered and the people escape to Egypt to avoid the inevitable wrath of Babylon, taking the prophet Jeremiah with them. Under a new king in Babylon 35 years later, Jehoiachin, the deposed king of Judah, is released from prison and kindly treated.
After the days of Jeremiah the Ark disappears fro history. Most likely Babylonian soldiers destroyed it when they looted the Temple in 586BC. There was no Ark in the later Temple in Jerusalem.
But this is the stuff of which legends are made! Jewish tradition says Jeremiah hid it in a cave on mt Nebo, or King Josiah hid it in a cave beneath Jerusalem. Ethiopian legend claims that the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba took it to Ethiopia where it is supposedly hidden in a church in Aksum. Ethiopian Christians carry boxes containing tablets bearing the Ten Commandments in procession. But this and other Jewish elements in their customs are less ancient.
Why?
All of Temple of God are lost, all symbol of the Lord in Jerusalem are carried away. When the Israelite did not serve the Lord, these articles are meaningless to them. So the Lord took all these away.
Christian is not a symbol or a religious ceremony, it is a heart belonging God and the trust in the Lord. God sees our heart deeper than man watch our position and prosperity.
How?
The Ark is disappeared, but the real new Ark is in my heart , and in my home, so I fear the Lord and obey his commandment in my daily life.
