What a great question....KUDOS!!!....This was truly not a small matter and it seems it has become very important to human history. Jesus accuratly foretold this destruction. It marked the end of an exclusive relationship described in the Bible between the God of the Israelites and them as a people. The original promise to Abraham was that through the seed of Isaac all the nations of the earth would be blessed. True to the prophecy, the relationship God had with ancient Israel produced the messiah, and  the royal heir to the throne of the Kingdom of God. Every one now benefits, (if they just take the opportunity).\n\nThe opportunity for a special relationship with God is now open to anyone who wants to excersize faith in the ransomer Jesus Christ. \n\nThat said....back to the destruction of Israel by the Roman Army in 70CE. So terrible was that destruction that Josephus (Jewish historian) reports that over 1.1 million people were killed! almost 100,000 were taken captive. Many of those taken captive were tortured and killed on the road.....and the rest were hauled all over the then-known world to be made slaves. VERY IMPORTANT POINT: all jewish records and geneologies were then totally destroyed. No "jew" today can prove he is related to Abraham, and yet the ancient record is intact that Jesus is the messiah.\n\nAfter WWII and the Nazi persecution of the Jews, the UN and the world leaders set up a secular nation of Israel. This is not the "Kingdom" of Israel and has nothing to do with any Bible restoration prophecy. People today think it is according to prophecy, but they are seriously mistaken. Any restoration prophecies that really pertain to literal Israel were fulfilled long ago when they were released from Babylonian captivity. Any newer prophecies are fulfilled in a new Israel which is not the literal nation of Israel, but rather a spiritual nation of people made up of every nation and tongue today. Thier Jerusalem is a heavenly one. Their capital city is a heavenly government ruled by the resurrected Christ Jesus.\n\nJesus Christ, near the end of his lfe, stood on the hill overlooking Jerusalem and the temple....looked down at it and condemned their relationship with God.\n\nNow....looking at the modern situation...it gets very interesting....you see there are a great many Christian Zionists who think that Israel is still favored by God and they feel the Israelites have a god-given right to palestine....these people have HUGE pull in the affairs of the governments which support Israel. Believe it or not this zionist movement will do anything to prevent the current peace efforts from proceeding because they do not want Israel to loose any of their "god-given" land. (The peace plans or "road map to peace" calls for them to loose some)\nThese people interestingly think they are going to be raptured off the world scene so they do not have to deal with any of the nasty results of their meddleing. The Christian zionists are sadly mistaken and bad things will come from their involvement.....(They already have).\n\nGoing on.....ponder this....just 3 days before the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the US.....the United States and Israel walked out of the UN conference on racism...they turned their backs on the world community who had passed a resolution that stated that zionism equals racism. This conference was planned for years......the arab community for years planned to present this resolution at this very conference......I wonder.....Could it be.....that this was in fact the TRIGGER for the attacks on the WTC in New York and the pentagon? Were these Al Khada terrorists poised and waiting for this walk out? I say this is a possibility, but what do I know? This presents the question.....If the US was not so motivated by Christian Zionists and their political influence, would there have been an attack? Would Muslims have the same view that they have of Americans today? Thanks for aski

most of the biblical events were centered around the Middle East.  I don't know why it was a biblical hotspot, ask God (lol).  Most likely it was because it was near the "cradle of civilization" where Adam and Eve were created.

The Covenant with Adam and Eve:\n\nAnd the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. (Gen 2:14-24 KJV) \n\nThe Covenant with Noah:\nAnd the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the

An exact figure I have yet to find; perhaps this insight can help.\n\nThe Lord, the God of Israel, made a Covenant with the fathers of old in the day that God brought them forth out of the land of Egypt (Jer.34:13 below).  Thy time was the time of love (Eze.16:8 below).\n\nALL the fathers of old were under the cloud, and ALL passed through the sea and ALL were baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea and ALL ate the same spiritual meat and ALL drank the same spiritual drink (1 Cor.10:1-4 below).\n\nI believe that it was these spiritual acts and the passing through the sea at the Exodus that married Israel to their Maker (Isa.54:5, Jer.3:14, Eze.16:8 below).\n\n\nJer.34:13Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel:  I made a covenant (Eze.16:8 below) with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,  \n\nEze.16:8Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee (Jer.34:13 above, Jer.31:32 below), saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine (Isa.54:5 below).\n\n1 Cor.10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that ALL our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea (Ex.14:22 below);\n\n1 Cor.10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;\n\n1 Cor.10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;\n\n1 Cor.10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them (Ex.14:19 below): and that Rock was Christ.\n\nIsa.54:5For thy Maker is thine husband (Jer.3:14 below); the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.\n\nJer.3:14Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you (Isa.54:5 above): and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:\n\n\nDivorcement -\n\nIsa.50:1 Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away? (Jer.3:8 below) or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away. \n\nJer.3:8And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce (Isa.50:1 above); yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also. \n\nJer.3:9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks. \n\nJer.3:10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD. \n\nJer.3:11And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel (Jer.3:12 below) hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah. \n\nJer.3:12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever (Isa.43:25 above).\n \nJer.3:13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God (Isa.54:5 above), and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice (Heb.12:25 below), saith the LORD.\n\nJer.31:32Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake (Eze.16:8 above), although I WAS an husband unto them (Isa.54:5, Jer.3:14 above), saith the Lord:\n\nHeb.12:25See that ye refuse not him that speaketh.

People have been looking for that for 2000 years or more. Nothing has been found.\n\nGeological and archeological evidence shows there WAS a big flood in the middle east, south of the Black Sea, some time between human installation and the beginning of recorded history, but nothing as world destroying as described in the bible.

II think the answer to your Q is at about the 13th paragraph:\n\n\n\n\nWorld's fate hangs on 35 acres: Hal Lindsey looks at growing strife in Israel \n\nNews/Current Events Editorial\nSource: WorldNetDaily.com\nPublished: Wednesday, February 21, 2001 \nPosted on 02/21/2001 00:19:56 PST by JohnHuang2 \n\nI know this must sound crazy, but I believe the fate of the world will be determined by an ancient feud over 35 acres of land. As we look at all of the threats and dangers facing our planet, and evaluate how the major powers and nations fit in, it seems incredible that one small nation, which contains a plot of 35 unusual acres, holds the key to all our futures. \n\nThis may sound arrogant at best, and insane at worst, but I believe there are sound, logical reasons behind my opinion. You may not agree with the following history, but the important thing is, the feuding participants do. \n\nBack on the edge of known history, this area is first mentioned. A priest came to bless Abraham, the forefather of both the Israelites and the Arabs. It was written, "Melchezidek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God Most High." Salem was an early name for Jerusalem, which was a town in Canaan. The major part of this town was a special place called Mount Moriah. This was the beginning of our knowledge of this place. \n\nAbout 40 years later, Abraham was directed by God to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice on this very same mountain. When God saw that Abraham would by faith obey Him, He stopped the sacrifice and provided an animal as a substitute. In response, Abraham named the mountain, "The place where the LORD will provide." \n\nAbout one thousand years later, in approximately 1005 BC, Israel's King David finally captured this city, which was then called "Jebus" and renamed it Jerusalem. Soon after that, David offered a sacrifice of repentance on Mount Moriah. He announced that God had directed Him to build a permanent temple of worship there. \n\nDavid's son Solomon did build a temple there that became the center of Israel's spiritual life. Israel's prophets soon began to warn future generations that their decline in faith and rebellion was going to bring a judgment that would destroy the Temple and Jerusalem. The prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah even predicted that this judgment would come through Nebuchadnezzar, the king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. \n\nJeremiah predicted that the Israelites would be taken and held captive in Babylon for 70 years. Isaiah predicted that afterward a Persian King named Cyrus would allow them to return and begin the reconstruction of the Temple. This prophecy was made 200 years before Cyrus was born, and at a time when Babylon ruled the known world. \n\nAll of this happened precisely as it had been predicted. The Temple was rebuilt on the same site of Solomon's Temple. \n\nThen, a little more than 400 years later, Jesus of Nazareth exploded on the scene and began to claim that He was the long awaited Messiah of which Israel's prophets had all spoken. He showed signs and wonders and pointed to the many prophecies that were fulfilled in His life, works and teaching. \n\nWhen it became evident that He was rejected by the rulers, he made this prediction about the Temple and Jerusalem: " … There will be great distress upon the land, and wrath to this people, and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled" (Luke 21:23-24). Jesus was crucified on the edge of Mount Moriah, the very spot Abraham had named, "Where the Lord will provide." \n\nThirty-seven years later, the Roman Tenth Legion under Titus destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple. The Israelites were scattered throughout the whole world for the next almost 2,000 years. But as predicted throughout by their prophe

It could be said that the Bible is a book of history -- and it is. The bible describes places, people, and events in various degrees of detail.  It is essentially an historical account of the people of God throughout thousands of years.  If you open to almost any page in the Bible you will find a name of a place and/or a person.  Much of this can be verified from archaeology.  Though archaeology cannot prove that the Bible is the inspired word of God, it has the ability to prove whether or not if some events and locations described therein are true or false.  So far, however, there isn't a single archaeological discovery that disproves the Bible in any way.\n     Nevertheless, many used to think that the Bible had numerous historical errors in it such as Luke's account of Lysanias being the tetrarch of Abiline in about 27 AD (Luke 3:1).  For years scholars used this "factual error" to prove Luke was wrong because it was common knowledge that Lysanias was not a tetrarch, but the ruler of Chalcis about 50 years earlier than what Luke described.  But, an archaeological inscription was found that said Lysanias was the tetrarch in Abila near Damascus at the time that Luke said.  It turns out that there had been two people name Lysanias and Luke had accurately recorded the facts.  \n     Also, the walls of Jericho have been found, destroyed just as the Bible says.  Many critics doubted that Nazareth ever existed, yet archaeologists have found a first-century synagogue inscription at Caesarea verified its existence.  Finds have verified Herod the Great and his son Herod Antipas.  The remains of the Apostle Peter's house have been found at Capernaum.  Bones with nail scars through the wrists and feet have been uncovered as well demonstrating the actuality of crucifixion.  The High Priest Caiaphas' bones have been discovered in an ossuary (a box used to store bones).  \n     There is, of course, a host of archaeological digs that corroborate biblical records such as Bethsaida, Bethany, Caesarea Philippi, Capernaum, Cyprus, Galatia, Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, Rome, etc.  For more on this see, Archaeological Evidence verifying biblical events and places.\n     \n\nAn inscribed stone was found that  refers to Pontius Pilate, named as Prefect of Judaea.’  (The New Bible Dictionary, (Wheaton, Illinois: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.; 1962.)  \nLuke 3:1, "Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea..." \n"A decree of Claudius found at Delphi (Greece) describes Gallio as proconsul of Achaia in ad 51, thus giving a correlation with the ministry of Paul in Corinth (Acts 18:12)." (The New Bible Dictionary)\nActs 18:12, "But while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat." \nExcavations have revealed a text naming a benefactor Erastus which may be a reference relating to  the city-treasurer of Rom. 16:23.  (The New Bible Dictionary)\nRom. 16:23, "Gaius, host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer greets you, and Quartus, the brother." \nAt Ephesus parts of the temple of Artemis have been uncovered as is mentioned in Acts 19:28-41. (The New Bible Dictionary)\nActs 19:28, "And when they heard this and were filled with rage, they began crying out, saying, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians." \n"It is known that Quirinius was made governor of Syria by Augustus in AD 6. Archaeologist Sir William Ramsay discovered several inscriptions that indicated that Quirinius was governor of Syria on two occasions, the first time several years prior to this date...archaeology has provided some unexpected and supportive answers. Additionally, while supplying the background behind these events, archaeology also assists us in establishing several facts. (1) A taxation-census was a fairly

Searching for the Ark\n\nSince the 19th century, there have been numerous attempts to find the ark on the mountains of Ararat. These mountains have two prominent peaks, one 16,950 feet high and the other 12,840 feet. The higher of the two is perpetually covered by snow. Because of the climatic changes that followed the Flood, the ark would soon have been buried by snow. Some investigators firmly believe that the ark is still there, buried deep in a glacier. They claim that there have been periods when the ice melted sufficiently to permit part of the ark to be exposed temporarily.\n\nThe book In Search of Noah’s Ark quotes George Hagopian, an Armenian, who claimed that he climbed Mount Ararat and saw the ark in 1902 and again in 1904. On the first visit, he said, he actually climbed on top of the ark. “I stood up straight and looked all over the ship. It was long. The height was about forty feet [12 m].” Regarding his observation on his subsequent visit, he said: “I didn’t see any real curves. It was unlike any other boat I have ever seen. It looked more like a flat-bottomed barge.”\n\nFrom 1952 to 1969, Fernand Navarra made four efforts to find evidence of the ark. On his third trip to Mount Ararat, he worked his way to the bottom of a crevasse in a glacier, where he found a piece of black wood embedded in the ice. “It must have been very long,” he said, “and perhaps still attached to other parts of the ship’s framework. I could only cut along the grain until I split off a piece about five feet [1.5 m] long.”\n\nProfessor Richard Bliss, one of several experts who examined the wood, said: “The Navarra wood sample is a structural beam and impregnated with bituminous pitch. It has mortise and tenon joints. And it’s definitely hand-hewn and squared.” The estimated age of the wood was set at about four or five thousand years.\n\nAlthough efforts have been made to find the ark on Mount Ararat, the definite proof that it was used to survive a cataclysmic deluge exists in the written record of that event in the Bible book of Genesis. \n\nThe ark had a carrying capacity equal to that of 10 freight trains of about 25 American boxcars each!

There were 3 objects in the ark of the covenant.  The ark represents our hearts.  In the ark was the stone tablets with the 10 commandments written on them,  that symbolizes that the law is written in our hearts.  The second thing was a jar of manna, which represents that our spiritual food, the word, feeds our hearts and the third thing was Aaron's rod that budded.  I haven't figured out what that represents yet.
