Ark of the Covenant
Prophesy makes it clear that a 3rd Jewish Temple will be built in Jerusalem in the last days. We know that the anti-christ will sit in the Holy of Hollies in this Temple and declare himself to be God. So we watch the movement towards this fulfillment.
Today there is news surrounding the Ark of the Covenant. This holy box is where God set his presence when Solomon built the first Temple. And this box has been missing for centuries. I don't know for sure if it was still in the 2nd Temple when Christ was here.
But we know that the Jews need it to even consider building a 3rd Temple.
Abuna Pauolos, in Italy for a meeting with Pope Benedict XVI this week, told the news agency, "Soon the world will be able to admire the Ark of the Covenant described in the Bible as the container of the tablets of the law that God delivered to Moses and the center of searches and studies for centuries."
So Ethiopia says they have the ark, but others say it is already in Israel;
He claims that after the Ethiopian civil war, Israel sent in a group of commandos from the tribe of Levi and the carried the Ark onto a plane and back to Israel in 1991.
"It is being held there secretly, waiting in the eyes of the religious leaders of Israel, for a supernatural signal from God to rebuild the temple," he said. "They are not going to do it before that. When that happens, they will bring the Ark into that temple."

One thing is for sure....this is just one more rumbling going on in the world AND THEY ALL APPEAR TO BE HAPPENING AT ONCE. Jesus said that the end will come like a flood. That means that the situation on planet earth will go from good to really bad in a short amount of time. When you remember where we were in the hedonistic days of the 1990's when money was everywhere, stocks were cruising at new highs, houses were going up faster than popcorn and peace was all over the world....and now 10 yrs later, look at the headlines. The world seems about ready to be overtaken by a flood.
