Earthquake

So, a seminary friend showed me a link about something that happened in Israel this week. They suffered a 5.1 earthquake on the Richter scale. The only places that had damage were the Temple Mount and Nablus (a palestinian area in the north of Israel). There is a decent sized hole on the Temple Mount, but not really all that close to the dome of the rock. It's just interesting to think about what could potentially happen. I think a lot of Zionist Jews are thinking this is a promising sign that God is preparing the Temple Mount to be taken back over by the Jews. The Jews have been preparing for the Third Temple Period for a long time. As a matter of fact, they have a multi-million dollar, gold menorah in a huge glass case on one of the staircases leading down to the Western Wall Plaza, waiting to be taken out and used in the new temple.
