This non-profit group is headed by Mr. Vendyl Jones
|
|||
|
|
(inspiration for the movie character - Indiana Jones).
|
|||
|
|
The IJCR seeks to establish a mutual understanding between
|
|||
|
|
followers of the Jewish traditions and Christian traditions.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Laws of No'ach (Noah) preceded the New Testament and are the basis
|
|||
|
|
for the Ten Commandments later given to Moses on Mt. Sinai.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We wish to thank Mr. David Fasold,
|
|||
|
|
discoverer of the true site of the Ark of Noah,
|
|||
|
|
(as verified by the Turkish government),
|
|||
|
|
for acquainting us with Vendyl and his group.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Mr. Jones and a dedicated group of fellow researchers are currently
|
|||
|
|
(as of November 15, 1989) in Israel in search of two items,
|
|||
|
|
The Ashes of the Red Heifer and the Ark of the Covenant.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Ashes of the Red Heifer are the remains of a ritual sacrifice
|
|||
|
|
which are used to purify water and those who have been in
|
|||
|
|
physical contact with the dead, among other things.
|
|||
|
|
When the original Ashes are recovered, it will signal the
|
|||
|
|
re-establishment of the Sanhedrin (the Jewish ruling council)
|
|||
|
|
as well as spur the building of the Third Temple.
|
|||
|
|
The Ark of the Covenant is the "abode of the Living G-d".
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
There has been much speculation about the Ark throughout history but
|
|||
|
|
especially in modern times as Man's understanding of electricity
|
|||
|
|
and nuclear forces increases. The Bible is quite specific in the
|
|||
|
|
construction details of the Ark and there are reports that a copy was
|
|||
|
|
built by a northern university, (we have heard the University of Michigan).
|
|||
|
|
That copy was destroyed shortly thereafter due to the accumulation
|
|||
|
|
of lethal voltages. George Van Tassel based his "Integratron"
|
|||
|
|
in Arizona after the Ark. Van Tassel believed that his device
|
|||
|
|
will rejuvenate the body and possibly alter time.
|
|||
|
|
It is currently still after construction following Van Tassels' death.
|
|||
|
|
The Ark of the Covenant appears to be a very large Leyden jar.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Other possibilities include :
|
|||
|
|
1) an Orgone box (possibly to accumulate and store the
|
|||
|
|
life force of sacrifices made in its presence),
|
|||
|
|
2) a free energy device (based on a radioactive nature as
|
|||
|
|
depicted by the infliction of boils and pyles on the
|
|||
|
|
Philistines)
|
|||
|
|
3) or a radio communication device with some higher/other
|
|||
|
|
race or being.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We will provide more details on these subjects as our understanding evolves.
