The Covenant that the Ark holds is between god and Israel, old testament stuff. I always thought that when Christ came and died, he fulfilled the prophesies of the old testament, Matt 5:17. Armageddon is also new testament so is there a corolation between the Ark and Armegeddon? Or has that covenant been fulfilled?

Isnt the arc in Ireland somewhere?
I t hought i read that on 100777.com.

As the article says, finding the Ark will precede the coming of the messiah. One of the remaining prophecies to be fulfilled before that time is the building of the Temple. Something really terrible will have to occur to wrest the Temple mount from the Arabs, no?

Why are you so quick to attack my theory - that is shared by many Jewish people as well? This thread is merely to discuss a fascinating subject.

Tis no attack of your theory, merely saying that with an abundant of information to be found on this, the location of the AoC is not confirmed and is indeed a mystery of sorts.

If you took it as an attack, then I do humbly and sincerely apologize ECK.

In that you mention that many Jews feel this way or have an opinion that the AoC is under the Dome of the Rock, there are just as many that say it is not.

The question posed was why would the AoC be of any importance to the Arabs?

It is not the AoC that is important to Arabs, it is the Dome of the Rock, which is on the same place certain groups claim AoC is. Religious fanatism could drive a few lunatics to destroy Dome of the Rock, to "find" the Ark and "fulfil" the prophecy, which would then spark a war, the Dome being one of the holiest sites of Islam.

After reading Hancock's book, I think the Ark is indeed in Ethiopia.

just reading throu here and im very interested, does someone mind tellin about the Ark and fulfillin the prophecy??

Don't worry about it.

I'll defer to paperclip on the question...

I've often wondered how the re-building of the temple would come about with Arabs in control of the dome of the Rock. At this point it seems virtually impossible. It would take something cataclysmic for the Jews to take control of the site. If they believed the Ark was, indeed, beneath it, they could/might actually engineer some way of removing the Arabs from the spot. That would be disasterous.

True, that would be disasterous, and, imo, it would start a war, no doubt about it. Israel would be crushed within days, thats for sure. Thats why the israeli goverment wont do such thing. But there are enough religious extremists in Israel who would do it, maybe it is just a matter of time till one of those religious fanatics goes totaly nuts and blows up the place.

Long long time ago, there was a temple there, it got destroyed, # happens, thats history. Another group of people came, build their temple, thats life. It is now a muslim holy site, and it should stay that way. People should stop living in long forgotten past and start living in the year 2004.

Also, if you look at it from a bit different perspective, the Temple has already been built. It IS the Dome of the Rock. The same God who spoke to Moses, sent Qur'an to Mohammed. His folowers built the Dome, Temple to worship one God, the SAME God Jews worship. The prophecy has been fulfilled long time ago, but people don't realise it.
