What exactly will happen when the 'ark of the covenant' is discovered?
Does this mean that the Old sacrificial law will begin?
Or do people think that this is a sign of Christ coming to earth for a second time?

Actually, the Ark has been found. It never left the Temple Mount. Israel and America both know where it is and I do as well. Anybody can see it from their home computer. The Jews just had trouble seeing it because it was right in front of their face. Rest assured that you can see it from your home computer.
If anybody is really interested I can explain in detail. This is an old post i see. Maybe nobody will be interested.

It filled the Ark then filled the recess, now it is pushing out the facestone and growing out of the wall. An almond tree buds white petals. every year you can see the almond tree bloom white petals on the wall cam trained on the temple western wall. Funny how nobody wonders how a almond tree is growing out of the western wall.
The Hebrew people made camp on Mt. Sinai for a whole year. At this time Moses, at God’s command, constructed a tabernacle, or a transportable sanctuary, in the form of a tent. The tabernacle was constructed from expensive fabric and hung from poles. It had three sections: the courtyard, the sanctuary and the Holy of Holies.
The people came into the courtyard to pray. Here were placed the altar, on which sacrifices were made, and a copper water basin.
The priests came into the sanctuary, which had a table on which were twenty loaves of bread, a golden seven-branch candlestick, or lampstand, with seven lamps, and the altar of incense, that is, an altar on which the priests burned incense.
Into the Holy of Holies, which was separated from the sanctuary by a curtain, only the high priest could enter, and then only once a year. The Ark of the Covenant was placed in the Holy of Holies. The Ark of the Covenant was the name of a chest, made of wood and covered inside and out with gold, with a gold lid and with two golden images of the cherubim on it. The tablets with the Ten Commandments were kept in the Ark of the Covenant, as well as a chalice with manna, Aaron’s rod, and later, the holy books. Along the two sides of the ark were two pairs of golden rings, into which gilded poles were inserted for carrying it.
When the tabernacle was ready, Moses consecrated it, together with all its fittings, with holy myrrh. While this was taking place, the glory of the Lord covered the tabernacle in the form of the cloud which accompanied the Hebrews on their journey. From this time on, the cloud was always over it.
For serving in the tabernacle, Moses, at God’s command, appointed the tribe of Levi and ordained a high priest, priests, and Levites, assistants for the tabernacle.
Aaron, the brother of Moses, was made high priest. The priests were the four sons of Aaron; the other descendants of Levi were Levites. The high priest corresponded to our bishop, the priests to our priests and the Levites to our deacons and servers. God ordained that in the future the eldest of the line of Aaron would be high priest and the others of his descendants, priests.
The tabernacle represented the Church of Christ and also the Mother of God, Who, having contained God within Herself, was like the House of God.
Note: See Exodus, chaps. 25-34; Deuteronomy, chaps. 10,13,16; Leviticus, chaps. 1-7,16, 23.

In the Old testament, we have no image of God, only symbols to tell us that God is to be worshipped..
When God took flesh in HUMAN NATURE, He became VISIBLE to all .......He now had an IMAGE.......In the Image of Man of Jesus Christ, we know that God created Us in His image...
God does not require Sacrifice .....as the end of the Psal says....
QUOTE///For shouldest Thou desire sacrifice, I would give it Thee; but Thou delightest not in burnt offering. The sacrifice of God is a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart -- these, O God, shalt Thou not despise.
Do good in Thy good pleasure to Sion; buildest Thou up the walls of Jerusalem. Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with oblation and whole-burnt offerings. Then shall they offer young bullocks upon Thine altar.

That picture you see is found in no other place but King Tut's tomb. They are spoils from Israel. This is why there has been such a "curse" on those entering his tomb. These are holy items.
Establishing the Virtual Third Temple
As long as the problems exist which the construction of the real Temple are likely to pose, it is possible to use "virtual reality" and the Internet to produce a simulation of the Temple, with its cells, chambers, courts and shrines.
What we are really concerned with here is not a simulation of forms and the placing of various models on the image of the Temple Mount. The real challenge is to perform simulations of the temple processes as sanctification processes - to generate processes of sacrifice-as-nearing to the Divine, and the spiritual transformation of the participants. The essential question is how can you build sacred space in virtual reality and/or on the Internet?
ah i was such a fool back then but thats off topic the ark could be anywhere by now honestly this is a very secretive thing the ark is
