Ellen Chat Conversation

Ellen White does not specifically state that the ark of the covenant will be in the temple in the New Jerusalem. However, she does clearly affirm that the ark exists in the heavenly sanctuary, which is distinct from the New Jerusalem itself. In her writings, Ellen White describes seeing the ark in the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary. She wrote about "the ark containing the law of God; the cover of the ark, which is the mercy seat; the angels at either end of the ark; and other things connected with the heavenly sanctuary" (CIHS 23.4). She also explained that "the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in His temple the ark of His testament" (2SAT 102.5), pointing to the opening of the most holy place in the heavenly sanctuary in 1844. Ellen White understood the heavenly sanctuary as the place where Christ ministers as our High Priest. She affirmed that the ark of God's testament is in the holy of holies, the second apartment of the sanctuaryand that "those who by faith followed their great High Priest as He entered upon His ministry in the most holy place, beheld the ark of His testament" (HF 268.1). This heavenly sanctuary, where the ark resides, is where Christ performs His mediatorial work. It's important to note that Ellen White distinguished between the heavenly sanctuary (where Christ ministers and where the ark is located) and the New Jerusalem (the holy city). While both are heavenly realities, they serve different purposes in her theological framework. The sanctuary is the place of Christ's priestly ministry, while the New Jerusalem is the eternal dwelling place of the redeemed. --- 💡 **You might also want to explore:** • What did Ellen White say about the contents of the ark in the heavenly sanctuary? • How did Ellen White describe the relationship between the earthly sanctuary and the heavenly sanctuary? • What did Ellen White teach about what happens to the sanctuary after Christ's mediatorial work is finished? --- 📚 **thousands of passages found** containing these search terms — [Explore in Full-Text Search](/advanced-search?q=Does+Ellen+white+say+that+the+ark+of+the+covenant+be+in+the+temple+in+the+new+Jerusalem%3F)
