On October 1, 2016, the USA officially relinquished control over the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), despite objections from certain political leaders and former military officials.

Does it think it needs a 'Third Temple' in order to resume animal sacrifices? What does Ezra 3:6 teach?

Do these groups have an altar, implements, and trained Levitical priests to resume sacrifices?

Will these and all other finds remain peaceful? Is anything about this project possibly connected to 666?
