The notion that the Menorah was ‘cursed’ hints that when enemies of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are in possession of such a sacred object, YHWH exerts some kind of inimical effect on the pagans in question — just as is supposed to have happened when the Ark of the Covenant was seized by Israel’s enemies, causing physical debilitations, as I recall — ‘piles’, i.e. hemorrhoids. Whether such actually happened to any Romans due to them having seized the Menorah and paraded it through Rome in a Triumph is anyone’s guess; however, it wouldn’t surprise me if some pious Jew were to assume that what had happened to the Philistines regarding the stolen Ark of the Covenant might also have happened to the Romans regarding the Menorah — perhaps in conjunction with the devastating destruction of Pompeii when Vesuvius went kablooie on 24 August 79 CE., 3,367 days after Titus breached the Temple in Jerusalem on 5 June 70 CE. That’s exactly 481 weeks, and almost exactly 114 synodic months later (though neither date coincided with either a New Moon or a Full Moon). Now, if the interval between those dates had just so happened to be 483 weeks instead, then I could imagine some prophecy-monger getting all excited, since that number — 483 — would be reminiscent of the passage in DANIEL regarding the ’70 Weeks’ prophecy, i.e. the 69 ‘weeks’ preceding the final 70th ‘week’ amounts to 483 ‘days’, which are often believed to refer to literal YEARS or ‘prophetic years’. Those 3,367 days could also be thought of as 80,808 hours, a number which is vaguely reminiscent of ‘666’, but with those zeroes spaced between the eights. Come to think of it, the number ‘888’ is what you get when you apply Gematria to the Greek version of the name ‘Jesus’: IHSOUS = I=10 + H=8 + S=200 + O=70 + U=400 + S=200 = ‘888’. Thus, a crackpot might interpret the 80,808 hours separating the breach of the Temple by Titus and the eruption of Vesuvius to represent the power of Jesus [‘888’] reducing the pagan city of Pompeii to ‘naught’ twice over — the two ‘0’ numbers between the 8s in 80808 . . . the hour of Doom!

King Alaric probably too took the Menorah when he sacked Rome. He died suddenly and unexpectedly a short time later and may have been buried with the Menorah as his army felt it was cursed and were afraid of it. Find King Alaric and probably find the Menorah.

Rafael — Ron Wyatt was a charlatan and treasure hunter. He found nothing. He founded a new school of treasure hunters who prey on others by using religious zeal and curiosity against them.

With a menorah of solid gold, it was most likely melted down for its gold weight. 🙁

Even bronze statues were melted for their metal.

You know that a Ron Watt has found the Ark of the covenant, show bread table, and claims that everything is in that room. It’s just below where Yeshua was crucified. Yeshua blood went all the way down on the top of the Ark to make it complete… As to why they are keeping it secret beast me. I would surely look into it if it’s true. Ron even has a video out. I think that they are afraid of it.
