For the first time since the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE a half-shekel coin from the year 66 CE was discovered on the site of the Holy Temple Mount. Such coins were previously discovered in other locations in Israel. However, the unique significance of this half-shekel coin is that it is the first time that a half-shekel was discovered from the exact locality of the Temple Mount.
This coin was discovered several months ago while sifting through ground unearthed at the temple mount. Image of the coin may be seen at http://www.templemountfaithful.org/)

On average, a destructive earthquake takes place in Israel once every 80 years, causing serious casualties and damage. The more time passes since the previous earthquake, the closer we are to the next.
In Israel the last destructive earthquake, with a magnitude of 6.2 on the Richter scale, occurred in 1927. Its epicenter was the Dead Sea, and its effects were felt in Jerusalem, Nablus, Jericho, Ramle and Tiberias, resulting in 500 deaths and injuries to 700. An earthquake in 1837 killed 5,000 people. According to the Jewish historian Josephus Flavius, in 31 B.C.E., 30,000 people lost their lives in an earthquake.

Additional Note from JewishRoots.Net: Did Zechariah see the earthquake that is thought to occur when Messiah Jesus returns and is that day coming soon?
Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle. 4 In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south. (Zechariah 14:3-4).
