Wyatt found all kinds of things, didn't he? The little ark, the big ark, the cross, Pharoah's chariots...

I heard somewhere that there are enough "authentic" pieces of the True Cross^TM to make a full-size replica of Noah's Ark.

I wonder if there are as many little arks as big ones?

I wonder why one would conflate the Ark of Revelation with the Ark of Exodus?

An "ark" is a protective container: Noah's ark, Moses' ark, the Ark of the Covenant.... Each had a different cargo. If there is a New Covenant between God and His new Chosen People, wouldn't there be a new ark in heaven to contain it?

... but is it mentioned in the bibical text somewhere that a new ark was needed to contain the new covenant?

I'm just sayin', there's a whole lotta arks floatin' 'round. Why assume that the one mentioned in Revelation is the same as one of the others?

And, as far as I know, the Biblical text doesn't say anything about that particular Ark being FedExed up to heaven. There's enough that is in the Bible that can't be confirmed. Why add more speculation?

Are the things housed in the ark of Exodus relevant to the new convenent?

That's why I wondered why the same ark would be used. Would God have a "mortgage-burning ceremony" to get rid of ye olde contents and make room for the new?
