Hey, something interesting- I live in Harrisburg, PA. There is a nearby town called Ephrata that has something called the Ephrata Cloister, it is a tourist place that you can visit, I was down there years ago and took the tour of the place. It was a Christian convent run by some very devout believers in Christ back in the 1800's, they shared something interesting about it. Apparently the leader of the convent at the Cloister claimed that God spoke to him one day and told him that the Cloister would still be there standing in existence at the second coming of Christ! The place is still standing to this day and it is a little run-down but still going strong!

I visited there in the 1990s & it is an interesting sight & Ephrata is a nice town. The great Pennsylvania colonial frontiersman, Conrad Weiser, sojourned there.
