Jeremiah 3:16 - Ark of the Covenant, Mount Nebo and Prophecies Decoded.

Jeremiah 3:16 - Ark of the Covenant, Mount Nebo and Prophecies 
Decoded. 

Jeremiah 3:16 (NKJV) Then it shall come to pass, when you are 
multiplied and increased in the land in those days," says the Lord, "that 
they will say no more, 'The ark of the covenant of the Lord.' It 
shall not come to mind, nor shall they remember it, nor shall they 
visit it, nor shall it be made anymore.  

Jeremiah 3:16 (NIV) In those days, when your numbers have 
increased greatly in the land," declares the Lord, "men will no longer 
say, 'The ark of the covenant of the Lord.' It will never enter their 
minds or be remembered; it will not be missed, nor will another one be 
made.  

APOCRYPHA

2 Maccabees 2:1-8 (CEB) One finds in the records that the 
prophet Jeremiah commanded those who were deported to take some of the 
fire, which is the story I've just related. 2 Having given them the 
Law, the prophet commanded those who were deported not to forget the 
Lord's commands or to be led astray in their thoughts when they saw 
gold and silver idols and how they were decorated. 3 With these kinds 
of words, he urged them not to forget the Law. 4 The same document 
also states that the prophet commanded, with a solemn divine 
pronouncement, that the meeting tent and the chest containing the covenant 
should go with him. The documents reported that he went to the mountain 
that Moses ascended to see the inheritance that God promised. 5 When 
Jeremiah arrived, he discovered a cave where he deposited the meeting 
tent, the covenant chest, and the incense altar. He blocked up the 
opening. 6 Some who had accompanied him went along to mark the way but 
couldn't find it again. 7 When Jeremiah found out, he rebuked them and 
said: "The place will remain unknown until God gathers the people 
together again and shows mercy. 8 Then the Lord will disclose these 
things. The Lord's glory will appear with the cloud, as they were 
revealed in the time of Moses and when Solomon prayed that the place 
might be made holy." [also see GNT, DRB]
