Isaiah walked around naked for 3 years as a sign of bad things that were to befall Egypt and Ethiopia. He was also walking barefoot.

Although modern English translations often use the word 'angel', Jacob did not wrestle with an angel, but with a god - el. So the question could be about what god wrestled with Jacob.
In an ancient tradition inserted into the life story of Jacob at Genesis 32:24ff, he was left alone and wrestled with a man all night until the break of day. Even though his leg was dislocated, Jacob refused to let his opponent go unless he blessed Jacob. That the 'man' was a god is amply demonstrated - Jacob asked for his blessing, and he had the prerogative of changing Jacob's name. The new name he gave Jacob was Israel (generally assumed to mean "wrestled with God'). If the man who wrestled with Jacob was a god, then Jacob was also a god in the very early tradition behind this account, as demonstrated by the fact that he was such an even match for his opponent. And if the opponent was a god, he was also a sun god - daybreak signalled the end of the contest, he had to leave Jacob before the sun could rise, then the sun rose upon Jacob. There is evidence elsewhere in the Bible that suggests Jacob was worshipped as the moon god in very early times before his story evolved into that of a mortal hero. Jacob called the place Peniel ('the face of God') because he had seen God face to face.
When we accept that this was once the story of a contest between two gods, or even if we imagine that the patriarch Jacob could wrestle a god for the entire night, then we have few choices but to see that the god who wrestled Jacob was, in pre-biblical times, the sun god.

When did god take the ark of the covenant to heaven?
In 1 Samuel chapter 4, the Ark of the Covenant was captured by the Philistines, who killed the two sons of Eli, the priest. In verse 4:4, this was clearly identified as the ark of the Exodus legend, with the mercy seat on which the Lord of hosts sat between the two cherubim. Either Yahweh had tired of the lavish extravaganza that he had required the fleeing Hebrews to build and was not interested in protecting it, or he was not powerful enough to prevent the ark's capture. Or, petulantly, he was willing to sacrifice this national religious treasure just to punish the two sons for their religious beliefs. In any event, the Philistines realised the Ark was too dangerous for them and allowed it to be returned to the Israelites.
In 1 Samuel 6:14, the Levites placed the sacred Ark of the Covenant upon a stone in a field belonging to Joshua the Bet-Shemite.
The Ark of the Covenant continued to play a role in the legend of the United Kingdom. According to Psalm 132, this most sacred artefact of the Hebrews was found abandoned in a field! 2 Samuel chapter 6 describes how David moved the ark to its place in the tabernacle. Yahweh must have had a renewed interest in the ark: for example he killed Uzzah just for touching the ark in order to steady it while it was being transported on a cart. The author had no doubt that Yahweh was seated 'between the cherubim', with frequent references such as David dancing 'before the Lord', and God blessing a household for hosting the ark.
Presumably, there the Ark of the Covenant lay unnoticed for centuries until the conquest of Jerusalem by the Babylonians. There is no history, but legends say it was taken away by the Babylonians, hidden somewhere in Jerusalem or even taken to Ethiopia.

What does Genesis chapter 9 verse 22 mean?
Genesis 9:22: "And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without."
Whenever the Bible talks about a man 'knowing' or 'seeing the nakedness' of another man or woman, it is a euphemism for sex, in this case, the most despised act by Ham of raping his own father and then boasting to his brothers about it. This is confirmed when Noah awoke:
Genesis 9:24:"And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant."
This passage had such obvious political implications that we do not need to believe that it really happened. Noah cursed, not Ham but Ham's son Canaan, and said that Canaan would forever be the servant to his brethren. When this story was written down, the Canaanites, biblical descendants of the legendary Canaan, were the despised competitors of the Israelites. To say that the Canaanites were ordained to forever be the slaves of the Israelites, descendants of Shem, must have been very satisfying.
