Is the discovery of the lost Ark part of the prophecy in the last days? I have been concerned over the digging that is taking place beneath the Temple Mount (where the Muslem site sits) and what they (the Palestine government) are looking for.
<If> the Ark of the Covenant was found, and given over to the Islamic hands, can we as Christians, imagine how horrible that would be?
When ye shall see the Abomination of Desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place (whoso readeth let him understand):
Then let them which be in Judae flee unto the mountains...
*For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignition against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.
And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the <sanctuary of strength> and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
And such as do wickedly against the <covenant> shall he corrupt by flatteries; but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself abover every God, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of Gods, and shall prosper till the indignition be accomplished: and that that is determined shall be done.
Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, not the desire of women, nor regard any God: for he shall magnify himself above all.
But in his estate shall he honour the God of <forces>: and a God whom his fathers knew not shall he honour, with Gold and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a <strange God> whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
Having the ark of the Covenant in the wrong hands could greatly signify this (in my own opinion). I could see the <disgusting thing> that is spoken of in the bible, happen to the covenant, if it were found by the Islamic religion.
Scary, yes. But is this thought impossible?
