It also removes any doubt that a table once existed in the center of the hall- paid for by a woman named Akeptous:
" The God -loveing Akeptous has offered the table to " God Jesus Christ " as a memorial.

And this is the earlist inscription ever found in Israel , and perhaps anywhere , that mentions Jesus Christ !

Hopes were that not only the pope , but also thousands of visitors and pilgrims , would travel to Megiddo ,
and the IAA had plans to turn the area into a tourist attraction, moveing the prison elsewhere
in order in order to keep the church in it's orginal context.

Nearby Tel Megiddo is allready a UNESCO world heritage site and is considered to be the place mentioned in Revelation 16:16
where God will gather all the kings of the world together for the ultimate battle at the end time.

There was even thoughts of expanding a nearby airstrip to accomodate the anticipated influx of Christian pilgrims to the area.
But now, all plans for the " Armageddon Church " are on hold, and the site lies waiting until more money
becomes available for it's restoration and upkeep..
