Hebrews 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own
blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal
redemption for us.

The following is the account of late, amateur archaeologist Ron Wyatt and his
discovery of that very thing:
In August of 1978, Ron Wyatt was walking along Gordon's Calvary Escarpment in the Garden Tomb in
Jerusalem, talking with a local authority about Roman antiquities. Without warning, Ron's left hand pointed to
a site there and his mouth said, "That's Jeremiah's Grotto and the Ark of the Covenant is in there."
Even though these words had come from his own mouth and his own hand had pointed, he had not
consciously said or done these things. The man with him, quite out of character, also reacted strangely. He
said, "That's wonderful! We want you to excavate, and we'll grant you your permits, put you up in a place to
stay and even furnish your meals!"
Ron Wyatt noticed a dried, black substance in an earthquake crack in the roof, above the Ark of the Covenant.
He noticed that this black substance was also on the lid of the cracked stone casing. Obviously, this
substance had dripped from the crack in the roof, and provision had been made for it to land on the Ark of the
Covenant, as the stone lid had been cracked and moved aside. Ron Wyatt wondered what substance could be
so sacred, that God made provision for it to land on the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant. He
remembered the earthquake crack at the foot of the cross hole, and suddenly an awesome realisation as to
what had happened, came over him. Ron Wyatt traced the earthquake crack, and indeed it was the same
crack as the one at the cross hole. The dried black substance in the crack was tested and proved to be blood,
apparently the blood of Jesus Christ. The Bible says that when Jesus died there was an earthquake and the

rocks were rent (Matt. 27:51). A Roman soldier speared Christ in His side in order to make sure He was
dead, and blood and water poured out (John 19:34). Ron Wyatt discovered that this same blood and water
poured down through the earthquake crack and fell upon the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant.
In 1989 - exactly 7 years after Ron first discovered the ark, he was excavating at the site again to try to reenter it. One day during that excavation Ron was feeling very down-hearted, as if God could not use him any
more. He thought that he must have done something wrong and that God had decided to take him off the job.
Whilst sitting at the site and contemplating the circumstances, he heard a voice that said, "God bless you in
what you are doing here Ron Wyatt." More than startled, Ron Wyatt turned to face the Man. He was surprised
as he wondered how anyone would know his name, and furthermore, Ron Wyatt had never told anyone else
what he was doing there. Ron Wyatt replied, "Thank you, are you from around here?" and the Stranger simply
replied, "No." Trying to prompt a conversation, Ron Wyatt said, "Are you a tourist?" and again the stranger
replied, "No." But this time continued to say, "I have come from South Africa and am on my way to the New
Jerusalem." Ron Wyatt was shocked, knowing that the New Jerusalem is a city referred to in the Bible as being
in heaven. After the man had left, Ron Wyatt asked the others in the Garden if they had seen this Man.
Surprisingly they all answered, "No." but there was only one way in, and one way out of this area, through
which the Man would have had to have exited. This was a great encouragement for Ron Wyatt at a time when
he needed it most as he felt that God was now still blessing his work . (2Chronicles 35:3 is the last reference
to the Ark of the Covenant)
THE BLOOD OF CHRIST (read Dan 9:24 ~ end)

Ephesians 2:13
But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
1 Corinthians 10:16
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break,
is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
1 John 5:6
This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is
the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
1 Peter 1:19
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Hebrews 9:14
How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God,
purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
1 Peter 1:2
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience
and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
Revelation 1:5
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the
kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus
Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

So he returned home to the US, and began to research as to whether or not the Ark could be in that area. He
discovered that 2Chronicles 35:3 is the last reference to the Ark of the Covenant, and verse 19 tells us that
this was in the year 621 BC, just 35 years before the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple by
Nebuchadnezzar. It says that the Ark was in the temple at that time. When the Babylonian army besieged
Jerusalem, they built a siege wall around the city, not allowing anyone or anything in or out of the city.
Therefore, the Ark of the Covenant most probably remained within the Babylonian siege wall. As it was not
captured by Nebuchadnezzar and taken to Babylon, we must assume that it was hidden underground. This
matched perfectly with the area that Ron Wyatt had pointed to, it would have been within the Babylonian
siege wall, in an underground chamber. Ron Wyatt and his two sons dug several times at that site, uncovering
a wealth of information. They began by digging straight down, at the base of a cliff face, a cliff face known to
many as Golgotha. In the 1800's General Gordon recognized that the site matched the biblical description of
Calvary, the site of the crucifixion of Christ. The Bible describes a tomb hewn out of rock, in a garden nearby,

it was the tomb of a rich man who donated it to Jesus (Matt. 27:57-60). In the vicinity is just that, and the
tomb has been hurriedly extended, suggesting that the person that lay in it, was not the person it was
designed for.
In fact, General Charles Gordon, the founder of the Garden Tomb said the Ark is hidden there! The Garden
Tomb has published a book in 2012 and is selling it now saying the Ark of the Covenant is in Jeremiah's Grotto
in Skull Hill (on their property). "General Gordon on Golgotha - Gordon's Letters to Sir John Cowell 1883" ISBN
978-1-904459-51-4. Edited by Rosalind Meryon, The Garden Tomb Jerusalem, 2012. Gordon writes, "Here at
Skull Hill, close the Slaughter House of Jerusalem was Titus 1 to 2m. The Roman Eagle took the heart of Zion
by throat, for close was the breach. Jeremiah wrote Lamentations in the cave. The Ark of the Covenant is
there." page 55. On page 47 Gordon says the Table of Shewbread is also in there, "Golgotha on Hill was
Jeremiah's Grotto. 1. This hill is outside gates near city where many roads pass. 2. From long time back the
Slaughter House of City has been there. 3. It is N. of City. Shewbread table is in it."
The first find that they uncovered were recesses cut into the cliff face, three 'bookshelf-like' cut
outs. Ron's thought was that these could be the recesses that held the signs that the Romans put above the
cross of Christ. In Matthew 27:37, Mark 15:26 and Luke 23:38 the Bible says that the superscription was
written "over" Jesus, which fits with what Ron Wyatt found. In the book of John, the Bible says that, "a title,"
was "put on the cross". The Greek word for "on" is "EPI". EPI can also be translated as "over" or "above". The
translators in Matthew, Mark and Luke decided to translate EPI as "over", because it would have not made
sense to say that a sign was put (EPI) on his head, but in John they translated EPI to mean "on" because it
would make sense to put a sign on the cross. However, they could have translated EPI to say, "a title" was
"put above/over the cross".
Further excavation revealed an altar stone protruding from the cliff face like a shelf. Ron Wyatt felt that
perhaps this was the remains of a Christian altar, suggesting that the early Christians knew that this was a
place of significance. The foundation to a first century building was also uncovered, which was believed to be
a church, again adding more significance to the site.
At last Ron Wyatt uncovered the clinching evidence that convinced him this was the site of the crucifixion.
Four cross holes cut out of the rock, one higher up than the rest on a platform and set back. The other three
were in a line lower down and infront. The upper cross hole would have held the 'featured' criminal, and we
know from the Biblical account that the two cross holes either side held the two thieves when Christ was
crucified. In this case, only three of the four cross holes were used.
Ron's attention was drawn to the cross hole that was higher than the others. If this was the site of the
crucifixion of Jesus, then this would undoubtedly be His cross hole. A square-cut stone had been placed in the
cross hole, acting as a plug. It had finger grips on each side, and when Ron Wyatt removed it he noticed a
large crack in the bedrock, extending from the cross hole. It looked to Ron Wyatt like an earthquake crack,
and the Bible does say, in Matthew 27:51, "and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent".
It became too dangerous to continue digging down the cliff face. So, Ron Wyatt had to dig down at various
angles. He soon found himself within a cave system. He worked with a small Arab man who would crawl in
through the gaps that were too tiny for Ron Wyatt to easily enter. The conditions were damp, with plenty of
dust and little oxygen. Sometimes Ron Wyatt had to squeeze himself through the smallest of holes. One day
he asked the man to crawl in through a tiny entrance to a cave, as usual. When he had done so, he rushed
out with terror in his eyes, screaming, "What's in there! What's in there!" The man hurriedly exited the cave
system and refused ever to return.
Excitedly, Ron Wyatt extended the entrance to this chamber and crawled in. He found himself crawling across
rocks that were piled up almost to the roof. Growing more and more tired, Ron Wyatt began to move the rocks
aside, in order to reveal what was underneath. He uncovered some dry rotted wooden boards which when he
moved aside revealed animal skins. Something shiny was under the animal skins. Moving them aside, Ron
Wyatt uncovered the Table of Shewbread, from the first temple. Continuing to shift aside more rocks and
wood, he then found a stone casing. The lid had cracked and had been moved aside. Ron Wyatt shone his
flashlight down through the crack and saw a chest of beaten gold. He knew he was looking at the Ark of the
Covenant. Overwhelmed with emotion and suffering from pneumonia Ron Wyatt passed out for 45 minutes in

that chamber. It was January 6th 1982, when Ron Wyatt made this amazing discovery - Exactly 3 and a half
years after Ron's left hand pointed to the site and his mouth said, "That's Jeremiah's Grotto and the ark of the
covenant is in there". Ron Wyatt tried to photograph the ark with a Polaroid, but the photos turned out foggy.
He returned with a colonascope, but again the pictures turned out foggy.
Below is the picture that turned out foggy, and to the right is a line drawing superimposed to show what Ron
Wyatt saw.
The photos are various artists impressions and models based on what Ron Wyatt described.
Several artifacts are in that cave, including the seven branch candlestick, an ephod, the wilderness
tabernacle, the altar of incense and a giant sword. It did not have any inscriptions but Ron Wyatt thought it
was probably Goliath's sword. Below are photos of Ron Wyatt and his wife with a scale model Ron Wyatt had
made.
Ron Wyatt noticed a dried, black substance in an earthquake crack in the roof, above the Ark of the Covenant.
He noticed that this black substance was also on the lid of the cracked stone casing. Obviously, this
substance had dripped from the crack in the roof, and provision had been made for it to land on the Ark of the
Covenant, as the stone lid had been cracked and moved aside. Ron Wyatt wondered what substance could be
so sacred, that God made provision for it to land on the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant. He
remembered the earthquake crack at the foot of the cross hole, and suddenly an awesome realisation as to

apparently the blood of Jesus Christ. The Bible says that when Jesus died there was an earthquake and the
rocks were rent (Matt. 27:51). A Roman soldier speared Christ in His side in order to make sure He was dead,
and blood and water poured out (John 19:34). Ron Wyatt discovered that this same blood and water poured
down through the earthquake crack and fell upon the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant.
In 1989 - exactly 7 years after Ron first discovered the ark, he was excavating at the site again to try to reenter it. One day during that excavation Ron was feeling very down-hearted, as if God could not use him any
more. He thought that he must have done something wrong and that God had decided to take him off the job.

which the Man would have had to have exited. This was a great encouragement for Ron Wyatt at a time when
he needed it most as he felt that God was now still blessing his work.
Ron Wyatt returned to the cave 3 more times, and since his first visit, to his absolute surprise, the cave had
been completely tidied up. Four angels stood before him and he was told that the time is not yet for the world
to see this discovery with their own eyes, but the time is coming when the inhabitants of the world will have a
universal, religious law enforced upon them. This law will force man to break God's law, by penalty of
disenfranchisement - being unable to buy or sell, (Rev. 13:17). Ron Wyatt was told that some time after this
law has been passed, God will allow the tables of stone (The 10 Commandments) and a good clear video of
the Ark of the Covenant to be put on public display. For more information on the proposed law download a
small booklet here. "It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law." Psalm 119:126.
