Even though the people of ancient Israel failed to locate the ark after they returned to the land after their Babylonian captivity (Ezra 2:1), they nonetheless were greatly blessed while still under the Old Covenant, and even built a second temple in Jerusalem (Ezra 6:14-22) which God the Father came to dwell in (Matthew 23:21, John 2:16).
Even though without the ark and its mercy seat the Israelites after their Babylonian captivity couldn't do all that Moses had commanded them (Leviticus 16:14-15), God didn't hold that against them because their not doing all was beyond their control; they couldn't find the ark.

Ezekiel 36:24, 37:21 refers to a future gathering of the descendants of those in the northern kingdom of Israel who had gone into the Assyrian captivity (Ezekiel 36:17-23). They will be brought into the land of Israel given to the Patriarchs and their physical descendants to inherit forever (Ezekiel 36:28, Exodus 32:13). They will then be joined into one kingdom with the descendants of those in the southern kingdom of Judah (Ezekiel 37:22), just as all twelve tribes were one kingdom under David. This will occur at Jesus' second coming when he will sit upon the throne of David (Luke 1:32, Isaiah 9:7) and restore the kingdom to Israel (Acts 1:6-7, 3:20-21). This kingdom will include all twelve tribes of Israel, which will have the twelve apostles placed over them as their governors (Matthew 19:28, Luke 22:30).
The future, millennial re-establishment of the kingdom of Israel containing all twelve tribes (Ezekiel 37:19-22), like during the reign of King David (2 Samuel 5:1-5), is a reference to the church inhabiting that kingdom, for the church consists of all twelve tribes of Israel (Revelation 21:9b,12b), not only of Jews in the church, who remain part of the tribes of Israel in which they were born (Romans 11:1, Acts 4:36), but also of Gentiles in the church, who have been grafted into Israel (Romans 11:17,24, Ephesians 2:12,19, Galatians 3:29), and so have been grafted into its various tribes (cf. Ezekiel 47:21-23), which is necessary because the New Covenant by which the church is saved (Matthew 26:28, 1 Corinthians 11:25, 2 Corinthians 3:6, Hebrews 9:15) is made only with Israel (Jeremiah 31:31-34), and which means that the 144,000 male-virgin Christians (Revelation 14:4) from the twelve tribes of Israel (Revelation 7:4) aren't just genetic Jews in the church, but genetic Gentiles in the church as well.
~
Ezekiel 36:25-27 is [...] the gospel going forth to save those who are genetically Jews, and who are elect, at the time of Jesus' second coming (Zechariah 12:10-14, Romans 11:25-32) …
~
Just as the literal nation of Israel remains one (Ezekiel 37:19), and doesn't become "the Israels", even though it contains twelve tribes, so the church remains one (Ephesians 4:4) even though it's the same as the twelve tribes of the literal nation of Israel (Revelation 21:9b,12b).
~
Ezekiel 37:21-23 refers to those unbelieving elect Israelites still alive at the second coming who will all be saved when they see Jesus (Romans 11:26-29, Zechariah 12:10-14).
The joining of the two kingdoms (Ezekiel 37:22) [...] refers to the church, which consists of all twelve tribes of Israel joined into one entity (Revelation 21:9b,12b) [like during the reign of King David (2 Samuel 5:1-5)], not only currently in a spiritual manner (Hebrews 12:22-24), but also in the future in a physical manner on the earth during the millennial kingdom (Matthew 19:28, Luke 22:30).
Ezekiel 37:24 means that the resurrected David will also be a local king over Israel during the millennium.
