-anointed: The promised Deliverer is twice called the."Anointed".or Messiah.(Psalms 2:2; Daniel 9:25,26), because he was anointed with the Holy Ghost.(Isaiah 61:1), figuratively.styled the."oil of gladness":.Psalms 45:7; Hebrews 1:9.

Emmanuel.(Jesus).of Nazareth is this anointed One.(John 1:41; Acts 9:22; 17:2,3; 18:5,28), the Messiah of the Old Testament who became the Christ spoken of in the New Testament:.Acts 10:38 "How God anointed Emmanuel of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with him."

In Christ we too are anointed ones:.2Corinthians 1:21 "Now he which establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us, is God.".Hebrews 1:9; 2Corinthians 1:21; Acts 10:38.

-apostle(s): An apostle is an individual sent by another with a message; a messenger; an envoy, one sent forth, whereas a disciple is a learner, a pupil. The disciples became apostles when they had learned enough to accurately share that knowledge in helping others learn.

Original Greek.for word 'apostle' is 'those having a spiritual message for others' with the message based on the highly regarded inspired original writings comprising the.Holy Bible. 

Disciple means 'one who is still mostly learning'. Those with Emmanuel were disciples.(learners, students, learning about getting the message to others about the kingdom of God). How many main ones were there and how many total and who were they?.Matthew 10:2-4; Acts 1:15.

They later preached the gospel.(see the.Book of Acts.for a starter; the rest of the acts of the men who were taught by Emmanuel are throughout the balance of the New Testament), raised the dead, healed the sick etc. They witnessed His resurrection. They then got His message out to the world.

Emmanuel sent the apostles that were with Him and Paul too.(1Corinthians 15:8), out into the world to preach the good news of why exactly He came and what He did for all:.1Corinthians 15:1-29..Why has He called you?

The apostles did many signs and wonders:.Acts 2:43.

-ark: "The Ark of the Covenant implies the contract between Creator and created involving the arch composite.(fractal) construction of our spiraling universe. All of nature is compelled to follow or flow with this law governing spinning reality from galaxies to DNA." ...Dr Len Horowitz.

The ark was very powerful and special and could only be used and touched by those having gone through a proper initiation and at that time long ago, these were the priests.(Leviticus 16:2).of the old covenant.

The ark was a guidance system God used to help the Israelites: Numbers 10:33 "And they departed from the mount of the Lord three days journey and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them in the three days journey, to search out a resting place for them."

The sacred ark is called the 'ark of the covenant' and 'ark of the testimony'.(see also word arch).and is distinguished by a different Hebrew word 'aron'.(Joshua 3:6; Hebrews 9:4; Exodus 25:22), different than the word used as in Noah's ark, which is the common name for a chest or coffer used for any purpose:.Genesis 50:26; 2Kings 12:9,10; 1Samuel 3:3. They took the ark with them wherever they went:.Numbers 10:33.

The ark was made of acacia or shittim wood, a cubit and a half broad and high and two cubits long and covered all over with the purest gold. 

Its upper surface or lid, the mercy seat, was surrounded with a rim of gold and on each of the two sides were two gold rings, in which were placed two gold covered poles by which the ark could be carried.

What was in the ark of the covenant?.1Kings 8:9.

Over the ark, at the two extremities, were two cherubim.(a representation of angels), with their faces turned toward each other. Their outspread wings over the top of the ark formed the throne of the Creator, while the ark itself was his footstool:.Exodus 25:10-22; 37th chapter.

The ark was deposited in the "holy of holies". The two tables of stone which constituted the 'testimony' or evidence of Creator's covenant with the people.(Deuteronomy 31:26), the 'pot of manna'.(Exodus 16:33).and 'Aaron's rod that budded'.(Numbers 17:10), were laid up in the ark:.Hebrew 9:4..(see tabernacle)

The ark and the sanctuary.(1Chronicles 22:19).at that time were 'the beauty of Israel'. The Ark had disappeared by the time of the fall of Jerusalem in B.C.E. 586, apparently taken away by priests of Judah into Ethiopia for its protection, where it remains today.

During the journeys of the Israelites the ark was carried by the priests in advance of other Israelites hosting of it. It was borne by the priests into the bed of the Jordan river, which separated, opening a pathway for the whole of the host to pass over:.Joshua 4:17-23.
   The ark was borne in the procession round Jericho:.Joshua 6:4-17.

When carried it was always wrapped in the veil, the badgers' skins and blue cloth and carefully concealed even from the eyes of the Levites who carried it. After the settlement of Israel in Palestine, the ark remained in the tabernacle at Gilgal for a season and was then removed to Shiloh for between 300 and 400 till the time of Eli when it was carried into the field of battle so as to secure victory to the Hebrews and was taken by the Philistines.(1Samual 4:3-11), who sent it back after retaining it seven months:.1Samuel 5:1-8.

It remained then for twenty years at Kirjath-jearim.till the time of David, who wished to remove it to Jerusalem. The proper mode of removing was neglected. Uzzah was smitten with death for putting "forth his hand to the ark of God" and in consequence of this it was left in the house of Obed-edom in Gath-rimmon for three months, at the end of which time David removed it in a grand procession to Jerusalem, where it was kept till a place was prepared for it. It was afterwards deposited by Solomon in the temple.

When the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem and plundered the temple, the ark was probably taken away by Nebuchadnezzar-II as no trace of it afterwards is to be found, although it's believed to have been taken into Ethiopia. The absence of the ark from the second temple was one of the points in which it was inferior to the first temple but the time had come to move on from the ark of the covenant: Jeremiah 3:16 "And it shall come to pass, when you be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, says God, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the Lord.(because something greater would come:.Hebrews 9:11). Neither shall it come to mind. Neither shall they remember it. Neither shall they visit it, neither shall that be done any more.".(why? 1Corinthians 3:16; Jeremiah 31:33; the new tabernacle is not made with hands:.Hebrews 9:11)
