["This changes the whole history of the Temple Mount during the Byzantine period as we knew it..."  Even bigger discoveries are soon coming, when the world learns that the site of the NEXT Temple will be upon the Mt. of Olives, not the current Temple Mount site.]

[The irony of this story is that the worshippers don't yet understand that the future 3rd Temple will ALSO be constructed away from the Temple Mount.  Their belief in the sacredness of the current temple site will be replaced with the knowledge that the correct location of this soon-to-be future temple will be upon the Mt. of Olives, to the east.]

[In this generation, there will be a massive wave of interest in the Bible and the truth of scripture.  These news stories are setting the foundation of this new spiritual awakening.  Eventually, the entire world will believe in the Bible and will passionately pursue the truth--not just what they have been told.]

[These recent discoveries reinforce the fact that Jerusalem is--and for 1,000's of years--been the propery of the Jews.  More attention will be paid to both the city and the Temple.  The whole world will financially participate on its reconstruction, to begin shortly.]

[This "news" will debunk the myth that the Jews never owned the Temple Mount property.  All of Jerusalem will return to the Jews, not the Arabs, and the Temple will be rebuilt, but not at its present location.  It will located upon the Mt. of Olives to the east.  A huge spiritual awakening is about to begin soon.]

[In this generation, an outpouring of Biblical knowlege will occur on earth.  Secrets that had remained locked for millenia will be unlocked and the entire world will hunger for the truth of scripture.  If the ark of the covenant is discovered, this could become the catalyst to a massive awakening, as it would give credibility to the entire Bible.]

[The Temple in Jerusalem will play a significant role in future prophetic events.  But, this author is making his case based upon the "original" location of the temple, not the location of the 3rd temple.  When the 3rd temple is rebuilt, the world will participate financially in its construction, and a time of peace will exist for 14 years.]
