“Make an Ark of acacia wood—a sacred chest 3¾ feet long, 2¼ feet wide, and 2¼ feet high. Overlay it inside and outside with pure gold, and put a molding of gold all around it." 

Exodus 25:10-22

The closer we get to the Tribulation period, the closer we are to the imminent Rapture of the Church, which, I strongly believe the Hebrew as well as the Christian Scriptures teach. This next Great and Major event, will precede the Tribulation.

    The word for ark can also mean “chest” as in 2 Kings 12:9-10 or “coffin” as in Genesis 50:26. It is not the same word nor should it be confused for Noah’s ark. We are talking about a complete different ark.

The Ark that Moses had Bezalel make was a chest made of acacia wood and covered with pure gold.

The Lord also said to Moses, “Look, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, intelligence, and skill in all kinds of crafts. He is able to create beautiful objects from gold, silver, and bronze. He is skilled in cutting and setting gemstones and in carving wood. Yes, he is a master at every craft!

“And I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to be his assistant. Moreover, I have given special skill to all the naturally talented craftsmen so they can make all the things I have instructed you to make: 

the Tabernacle itself;
the Ark of the Covenant;
the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement; 
all the furnishings of the Tabernacle; 
the table and all its utensils; 
the gold lampstand with all its accessories; 
the incense altar; 
the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils;
the washbasin and its pedestal;
the beautifully stitched, holy garments for Aaron the priest, and. . .
the garments for his sons to wear as they minister as priests;
the anointing oil;
and the special incense for the Holy Place.

They must follow exactly all the instructions I have given you.” 

Exodus 31:1-11; Exodus 37:1-9

The chest or the Ark of the Covenant measured approximately 45 by 27 by 27 inches, 3¾ feet long, 2¼ feet wide, and 2¼ feet high or 114 by 69 by 69 centimeters. It was covered inside and out with gold.

Poles were slid through its two pairs of rings to make it portable. The Ark of the Covenant also served as a container for the two tablets of the covenant given to Moses.

"When the Ark is finished, place inside it the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, which I will give to you." Exodus 25:16

The tablets were also called the “testimony.” That is why the ark was sometimes called the “ark of the testimony.”
