  The "Ark Of The Covenant Was Seen/Appeared In His Temple, In Heaven" --
  What Does It Mean?
  (See Revelation 11:19)

  
  
  The "Ark Of The Covenant" has been said to represent God's Presence with mankind or "Israel."
  
  Revelation 11:19 tells us:
  
  KJ21
  And the temple of God was opened in Heaven; and there was seen in His temple the ark of His testament, and there were lightnings and voices, and thunderings and an earthquake, and great hail.
  
  ASV
  And there was opened the temple of God that is in heaven; and there was seen in his temple the ark of his covenant; and there followed lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.
  
  AMP
  And the temple of God which is in heaven was opened; and the ark of His covenant appeared in His temple, and there were flashes of lightning, loud rumblings and peals of thunder and an earthquake and a great hailstorm.
  
  AMPC
  Then the sanctuary of God in heaven was thrown open, and the ark of His covenant was seen standing inside in His sanctuary; and there were flashes of lightning, loud rumblings (blasts, mutterings), peals of thunder, an earthquake, and a terrific hailstorm.
  
  BRG
  And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
  
  What do you think this portion [bold, underlined] of the verse means?

  First of all, there is no temple in heaven (Rev. 21:22, 23). The heavenly sanctuary in Revelation refers to a symbolic representation of the tabernacle (15:5). The third temple with its "living stones" is situated on earth (cf. 1 Cor. 3:16, 17; 2 Cor. 6:16; Eph. 2:21, 22). According to the Scriptures the smoke in the Most Holy indicated the presence of Jehovah God (Lev. 16:2). When the smoke column lifted the Israelites would follow (Ex. 40:36, 37). Smoke would also appear around the Ark at the inauguration of Solomen's temple (1 Kings 8:10, 11). I take it that the ark in heaven would have a similar meaning as the one on earth, meaning Jehovah was present (Rev. 15:8).

  Yes, it appears that in context it's saying everyone will know when these "plagues" occur they originate from Jehovah God - in other words, that He is having His will carried out in having the religious institutions exposed as hypocritical and dissolved, and then His judgments on the corrupt human governments/businesses that likewise will be dissolved at the appointed time.

  Humans are meant to be free, without the tyranny of oppressive governments and lying religious leaders. The earth will be such a better place without all the meddling.

  I like how it says "all the nations" will benefit from these judgments from Jehovah. He is not partial. There will be an entire 1000 years for people to catch up on stuff. The whole "Armageddon" destruction crap proposed by Watchtower and other ungodly religious institutions and Hollywood is just opposite what Jesus' vision there to John is about.
