Following the exodus when Israel had come into the land of Canan the priests brought the Tabernacle to the town of Shiloh. The Tabernacle would remain here for 200 years. In time, there was a battle with the Philistines over a Hebrew highway. The high priests were in charge of the tabernacle and these high priests were the sons of Eli. When the Israelites were in this battle they wanted the Ark of the Covenant to give them the power to win. So they sent messengers to go ask the high priests to see if they could have the ark of the covenant with them to have God’s power to win the battle. As they brought the ark of the covenant out to the battle God did not go with it. His presence was in the Holy of Holies when the Ark of the Covenant was there and when it was brought out to the battle, it was said that the presence of the Lord had departed from the Holy of Holies.
In this episode, Pastor Harris will teach on how the Ark of the Covenant departed.
