like i said, look into ron wyatt. its not lost, its purposely hidden under the crucifixion site by god where he had the 24 elders place it nearly 600 years before christ during the destruction of the temple as you are talking about.  once the ark is revealed, faith will no longer be required because it is the perfect testimony of god. its the ark of his testimony. thats why hebrews says if we continue sinning after receiving knowledge of the truth the sacrifice for sin will no longer remain. thats the whole point of the abomination of desolation, its the removal of the blood from the ark which will bring the world back to an old testament state of being where the wicked that are still here will go through trial by fire. they will have knowledge of the truth and continue sinning which will prove they are truly wicked and worthy of wrath. this is why the antichrist is given authority for his short time, so he can remove the blood and bring wrath on those wicked. the horses are sent to redeem (kill) gods people so they die while the blood is still on the ark, meaning they will be sinless and thus capable of entering heaven.
