I am asleep, but my heart is awake
Song of Songs 5:2
Our sages tell us that when King Solomon built the Holy Temple, knowing that it was destined to be destroyed, he built a place in which to hide the Ark, [at the end of] hidden, deep, winding passageways.1 It was there that King Josiah placed the Ark twenty-two years before the Temples destruction, as related in the Book of Chronicles.2

I highlighted your quote, but apparently I forgot to click on "copy." I'm surprised that doesn't happen more often than it does.
About me worrying. I am not in the least worrying about what you folks do to hasten the coming of your Messiah. Ive read the back of the book, I know who wins in the end.
My interest in Antelman and this hastening the coming of the Messiah business has to do with Bible prophecy.
The fact that someone had the bright idea to include the "new testament" between the same covers as the TaNa"KH does not make it true. I have learned the futility of trying to reason with you people about this, but it's still so.
You sound very much like someone who believes the "bible" prophesies about "the Jews" as the bad guys in the chrstian eschaton and that these Sabbateans and Frankists fit that bill for you. You seem to regard Orthodox Jews (whom you seem to think are all "Chabad") are the few good Jews left, just waiting to be converted to chrstianity at the "second coming." If all this is true, then I am afraid you are very ignorant on most of these topics.
I hope you aren't one of those "synagogue of Satan" people. A miserable little Nazi who accused Orthodox Jews of worshiping "Satan" was just banned a few weeks ago.
“But since Second Maccabees was written after the Men of the Great Assembly had closed the scriptural canon, then it is not inspired . . . is it?”
Only to Catholics, and even then, only since the Reformation, to spite the Protestants.
JPS: Jer 3:16 And it shall come to pass, when ye are multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more: The ark of the covenant of the LORD; neither shall it come to mind; neither shall they make mention of it; neither shall they miss it; neither shall it (be made) (asah) any more.
If something still exists, it would need to be made again now would it?
You are using a mistranslation to attempt to arrive at a “prophesy” that fits missionary (or just stock Christian) replacementism. Sorry, it’s been argued throughout the centuries already.
