For the Third Temple to be built at least the Dome of the Rock would need to be destroyed, if not both. This of course, would probably start a world war, unless it was the cause of a natural disaster, like an earthquake or something. Even then, Muslims would still probably want to protect the rubble.

Your opinion that it is made up and fictional doesn't make it so. It is very likely that the Ark existed.edit on 11/11/2011 by Leahn because: (no reason given)

The "holy grail" or ark or whatever may very well have existed! That doesn't mean it actually had any other powers besides the ones people gave too them... Sort of like for muslims at the Hajj.. To them that stone represents so much its a very very powerful thing because they make it that way.

Interesting content. I can tell you where the true Ark is and it is not on earth. Indeed the true Ark is in heaven. The identity of the Ark is Jesus Christ for he is the Word and the vessel containing the Word is the Ark, his glorified body. This is what the Apostle John was telling you. The bible (the Old Law, Old Testament) is the Word of God, and the Word is also God.
John 1:1 "In the beginning there was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God"
John 1:10 "He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not."
So, the word came first. The Word created the earth and all therein, including man. So what John is saying, and the other Apostles thereafter is that our creator is the Lord (Jesus Christ, Yehoshua ha Meshiach or Yeshua, also known as YHWH as his pre-incarnate form)
John 14:9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
The Ark is and always has been the vessel for the Ruach ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit), the Ark was the physical housing of God on this world. At first it was the literal Ark of the Covenant, and then the Holy Spirit created for himself a vessel that he could use to save mankind. Three in one, not one of three. Not three separate beings but only ONE. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all same being, the Almighty, El Sheddai.
Know all you whom was, whom is, and whom is to come your Lord Jesus Christ, your creator the Word. May the knowledge of this shatter the bonds that repress you and may he bless you and keep you, forever and ever Amen.

Very likely doesn't mean it did though, does it? Surely the existance of it assumes the Ten Commandments existed which assumes God exists?

I see why one would assume that the existence of the ark inevitably means the existence of the stone tablet of the 10 commandments, but this may not be the case and my only reason for stating that as a possibility is because the ark of the covenant and it's story is not exclusive to christianity.(Wiki)
Some stories say it just has one thing or another and some attest to the ark containing more than 2 items, if you ask me, speculatively, i'd have to say that it's possible that the ark was used for something entirely different and than was made part of these stories in order to ensure it's role in the future, and also to keep people from getting curious and opening it up(hence the myths about dying if you open it and such)
Hope that helps a bit.

The biggest problem I have with this theory is that you're mixing Christian theology with Jewish theology to get a cohesive theory. So it doesn't make any sense. It's kind of like saying that Jesus and Mohammed are going to land on the Temple Mount together and play chess based on evidence from two different religious books.
The Jews don't believe in some of what you have written about end-times - it's Christian hoo-doo. So the Jews wouldn't be working to those ends anyway...
Also, because I really do read Antisemitism in your post, I will say -- the Jews really don't like rocking the boat. They could have taken out the Dome of the Rock any time in the last 50 years, but they don't. They may be sitting on evidence RIGHT NOW that Jesus was simply a man who lived - and died - for real died and was buried and is still buried - but they don't release it. They won't even allow archaeologists access to particular tombs, because it would upset tourism and cause international outcry. As soon as they sniff controversy like that, they shut down access.
So all these theories about these big-bad things the Jews are going to do... just don't ring true for me. Not in light of their past behavior. Sorry.
