Proposed by individuals including Shlomo Goren, a 20th
century Orthodox Zionist rabbi and Talmudic scholar, suggested that the Ark
never left Jerusalem at all, but remains hidden under the Temple Mount.
In end
times, the legend goes, when the Hebrew ‘Messiah’ – the future Jewish king from
the Davidic line, returns to Earth, the Third temple would be built, and the
Ark will be delivered there.
