Yes... When the Second Temple was re-built, in the absence of the Ark of the Covenant to signify the presence of God within the Holy of Holies... they went and fetched the stone that Jacob used to mark the "terrible place" that surely was none other than the "house of God" and the "gate of heaven"... and they embedded the stone in the center of a mosaic in the now empty Holy of Holies...

so that... when and if God returned... they would capture his presence - God in a Box...

Their logic was off on several counts: not the least of which being that the stone only marked the "spot"... and was not itself the "gate to heaven"...

By moving the stone... they did not move the gate...

The significant point was, though, that the Second Temple... unlike the First...

lacked the presence of God within the Holy of Holies - a point conceded by its architects...
