A new best-selling book on the hidden mysteries of the Jerusalem Temple Mount claims to have discovered the resting place of the lost Ark of the Covenant – the biblical refuge of the Ten Commandments handed down to Moses at Sinai.  In "Temple at the Center of Time: Newton's Bible Codex Deciphered and the Year 2012," by David Flynn, a book that has skyrocketed up the best-seller charts before its official release later this month, says his studies of the Temple Mount strongly suggest the Ark will be found at Mount Nebo in Jordan.  The discovery would be the greatest archeological find ever – as has been suggested in popular movies such as "Raiders of the Lost Ark."  In "Temple at the Center of Time," Flynn makes the case that the Temple Mount, the home of the Jewish temples, was not just a place of religious worship. It is also is a roadmap to future events – a kind of prophetic landmark whose significance is only now revealed through the development of satellite imagery.  Read More

Donnie's Remarks...

I am a big fan of author Joel C. Rosenberg.  He has written several novels but his most recent book, "Epicenter" is a nonfiction work, and Rosenberg's personal knowledge and contacts in Israel are what make it so compelling. "Epicenter" explains why the current rumblings in the Middle East will change your future. This is a must read for those who love Bible prophecy. Here are a few quotes explaining why the Jews will build their Third Temple;  "When one looks at current and future events through the third lens of Scripture, the image of the coming temple is clear.  Ezekiel spends two chapters describing the War of Gog and Magog, but the next nine chapters describes the future 'house of the Lord."  "Daniel speaks of an end-times Temple that will be desecrated by a future enemy of God (known by Christians as the "Antichrist"), and this view was verified in the New Testament by the apostles Paul and John and by Jesus Christ himself."  Rosenberg is convinced that the Temple will be rebuilt because the Bible says it will.  "We simply are not sure how it will happen."  He postulates several scenarios from the Gog/Magog War, to supernatural judgment involving involving a massive earthquake.

Rosenberg is known for predicting future headlines by taking the prophecies of the Bible literally.  "All this constitutes further evidence that the building if the Third Temple is increasingly close at hand and that the events of Ezekiel 38-39 are as well.  They are like strobe lights along an airport runway at night, guiding a pilot in for a landing.  When we see such lights, we are not yet at our final destination, but we know we are closer than ever.  On this final approach, therefore, we would be well advised to keep our eyes peeled for other events that, while not explicitly promised in the Scripture, would certainly be consistent with the rebuilding of the Temple... Imagine the international uproar that would be caused by the sudden rediscovery of the Ark of the Covenant."
