From 1095 to 1291 CE, thousands and thousands of knights, peasants, nobles, soldiers, and more left Europe for the Holy Land around Jerusalem to take land and power away from Muslims, and into Christian hands. Pope Urban II issued a speech in 1095 calling Christian to take up arms and reclaim "Christian" lands. As incentive, he promised salvation for all who died fighting for what he said was God's will.  But was it ever about God's will? Or was it about Pope Urban's will? Were the Crusades ever really about anything celestial? Or were they about man and power?  Were they mostly about the Catholic Church struggling to consolidate power amongst European Christian monarchs and make sure Christian leaders knew who was really in charge? Holy War? Or power grab? Either way, the decree of Pope Urban set much of the western world on a path we are still following today nearly a full 1,000 years later.

Join Geoffrey Stern and Rabbi Adam Mintz recorded on clubhouse on March 2nd 2023. We survey the prophetic and Rabbinic re-imagining of a Temple culture without a Temple but we also continue our discussion from last week where we noted how Jewish Messianism includes an often violent break with accepted practice, intentionally breaking moral and Rabbinic norms to hasten the end. We explore how after the Six Day War, but specifically after the Oslo Accords previous Rabbinic guidance relating to the sanctity of the Temple Mount has been cast aside.

DESCRIPTION

This is Part Three in a Series to develop a construct proving that the Jewish Temple was NOT on the traditional location (referred to as the Temple Mount), but was in the City of David.

We will discuss the following: Scriptural evidence of where the Tabernacle and the Temple were located in the old City of David (at Mount Zion) in the area of Gihon Spring.

LOCATION OF THE JEWISH TEMPLE ~ PART 3
EVIDENCE FROM TANAKH

 

The construction of the Third Jewish Temple could begin immediately IF the Jewish leaders ... and the Temple Institute ... understood that the First and Second Jewish Temples were NEVER located on the Dome of the Rock Complex; Haram al-Sharif.

This is Part Three in a Series to develop a construct proving that the Jewish Temple was NOT on the traditional location (referred to as the Temple Mount), but was in the City of David. In this message we develop the construct that the First and Second Jewish Temples were located on the original Mount Zion in the old City of David in the area of Gihon Spring―NOT at what is commonly referred to as the Temple Mount area (Dome of the Rock … or … Haram al-Sharif).

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

NOTICE

138 UN Nations adopted a resolution that referred to Jerusalem’s Temple Mount solely by its Muslim name of Haram al-Sharif … one of seven resolutions passed November 4, 2021, that single out or condemn Israel, with ZERO condemnations on the entire rest of the world (including China, North Korea, Iran and Russia).

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

THE TEMPLE AND MOUNT ZION BOTH CONNECT WITH THE OLD CITY OF DAVID

According to Scripture the Temple has to be in the confines of the old City of David―NOT in the area commonly referred to as the Temple Mount, or Haram al-Sharif (muslim Dome of the Rock platform).

“Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David)” [2 Samuel 5:7] This shows that Zion is within the City of David.

“Arise, O Lord, to your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength … For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place.” [Psalm 132:8,13] The “ark of Your strength” is the Ark of the Covenant. The Temple will house the Ark … and Zion is God's chosen place for that … as well as the Temple placement.

“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord. To the house of the God of Jacob … For out of Zion shall go forth the Law ...” [Isaiah 2:3] “Mountain of the Lord” is the Temple at Zion.

“Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion.” [Joel 3:21] The Lord dwells in the Temple at Zion.

“Now Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem … at the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.” [2 Chronicles 3:1] The Temple will be built in the explicit confines of the City of David (which is the same boundary of the Jebusite city.)

The stronghold of Zion―Metsudat Tsion―is located in the narrow perimeter of the 12 acre parcel of land known as the City of David. If Scrpture is our primary source there is NO other place the Temples can be located but within the geographic area of the stronghold of Zion.

Professor Birch from England rediscovered the real Zion at the lower edge of the southeast ridge in the City of David during 1875 to 1888. And … check this out:

“Now Solomon began to build the temple at the house of the Lord at Jerusalem …
at the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.”
2 Chronicles 3:1

The threshing floor (see 2 Chronicles 3:1) is KEY to identifying the temple location. Its connection to Zion―in the City of David―certifies to the evidence of the true temple location.

OPHEL MOUND VS TEMPLE MOUNT

מיקום היסטורי ואמיתי

 

Prince Handley 24/7 Commentary (FREE) > BLOG

____________________________

DESCRIPTION

In this session we will discuss several items that reveal difference between the currently referred to area of the Temple Mount … AND … where the First and Second Temples (including the Roman rebuild of the Jewish Temple on those locations) were actually located.

We will discuss the following:

■ Size of the Temple compared to Dome of the Rock Complex = Roman Fortress Antonia.

■ Eye witness certifications of both the location of the Jewish Temple AND destruction of the Jewish Temple.

■ Location of the Temple as certified by the Holy Scriptures.

LOCATION OF THE JEWISH TEMPLE ~ PART 2
OPHEL MOUND VS TEMPLE MOUNT

 

The construction of the Third Jewish Temple could begin immediately IF the Jewish leaders ... and the Temple Institute ... understood that the First and Second Jewish Temples were NEVER located on the Dome of the Rock Complex or Haram al-Sharif.

This is Part Two in a Series to develop a construct proving that the Jewish Temple was NOT on the traditional location (referred to as the Temple Mount), but was in the City of David. In this message we develop the construct that the First and Second Jewish Temples were located on the Ophel mound just to the north of the original Mount Zion on the southeast ridge.

WHO WAS JOSEPHUS

Titus Flavius Josephus, born Yosef ben Matityahu, was a first-century Romano-Jewish historian and military leader, best known for The Jewish War, who was born in Jerusalem—then part of Roman Judea—to a father of priestly descent and a mother who claimed royal ancestry.

Born AD 37/38, Jerusalem—died AD 100, Rome—was a Jewish priest, scholar, and historian who wrote valuable works on the Jewish revolt of 66–70 and on earlier Jewish history. His major books are History of the Jewish War (75–79), The Antiquities of the Jews (93), and Against Apion.

Josephus' works are the most thorough histories of the period that we have. So long as we retain some skepticism, his writings provide the greatest insight into what happened to the Jewish people during a five hundred year period.

IMPORTANT

Josephus lived in Jerusalem BEFORE the destruction, DURING the destruction, and AFTER the destruction of the Second Temple.

According to the historian Josephus Flavius, hundreds of thousands of Jews perished in the siege of Jerusalem and elsewhere in the country, and many thousands more were sold into slavery.

Texts by Josephus mentioned that Herod stated dogmatically that his Temple (though enlarged to be double in size of the former Temple) was still located in the same general area as that of the former Temples.

The eyewitness account of Eleazar―who led the final contingent of Jewish resistance to the Romans at Masada―stated that the Roman fortress which had long been in Jerusalem was the ONLY structure left by 73 C.E.

In other words, Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) was right:

As Yeshua left the Temple and was going away, his talmidim came and called his attention to its buildings. But he answered them, “You see all these? Yes! I tell you, they will be totally destroyed—not a single stone will be left standing!” [Mattiyahu (Matthew) 24:1-2]

 ____________________

NOTICE

The stones of the Roman Fortress (Fort Antonia) were left standing where the Dome of the Rock Complex (Haram al-Sharif) is NOW located … referred to commonly as the Temple Mount area.

____________________

The Dome of the Rock is built on top of the Foundation Stone, which is sacred to both Jews and Muslims. According to Jewish tradition, the stone is the “navel of the Earth”—the place where creation began, and the site where Abraham was poised to sacrifice Isaac.

The Temple which existed in Jesus' day (and where the First Temple was previously located) was NOT located on the area referred to NOW as the Temple Mount (Dome of the Rock Complex or Haram al-Sharif).

Both the First and Second Temples were located on Ophel mound over the area of the Gihon Spring.

The Jewish people knew—up to the period that Islam emerged, even to the time of the Crusades—that the southeast ridge was the location of their "Mount Zion" and the site of all the Temples built in Jerusalem. Indeed, modern scholars realize that this is true for the real location of "Mount Zion," however, these same scholars and religious leaders fail to place the "Temple Mount" at that "Mount Zion" on the southeast ridge where it obviously belongs.

The Holy Scriptures clearly place the 1st and 2nd Jewish Temples over and around the Gihon Spring on the southeast ridge (on top of the original "Mount Ophel") in Mt. Zion, City of David. But scholars and religious leaders continue insisting (and even dogmatically demanding) that the Temples of Solomon, Zerubbabel and Herod were centered within the parameters of the Haram esh-Sharif.

____________________

IMPORTANT QUESTION

GUESS WHO WANTS TO BELIEVE THAT THE FIRST AND SECOND JEWISH TEMPLES WERE LOCATED ON THE CURRENT “DOME OF THE ROCK COMPLEX” … OR WHAT IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE “TEMPLE MOUNT”

■ TEMPLE INSTITUTE: TRADITION SINCE 1099 C.E.

■ ISLAM: BELIEF THAT THE DOME OF THE ROCK IS OVER MOUNT MORIAH

■ SATAN: IF ISRAEL AND THE JEWS CAN NOW BUILD THE THIRD TEMPLE IN ANOTHER AREA─NOT THE COMMONLY CALLED TEMPLE MOUNT AREA─AN AREA WHERE THE FIRST AND SECOND TEMPLES ACTUALLY STOOD … IT WOULD SPEED UP THE RETURN OF MESSIAH AND THE JUDGMENT OF SATAN.

____________________

SOME OTHER POINTS TO CONSIDER

 

The dimensions of the Temple (with its unique shape and characteristics) could NOT be the same as Fort Antonia―Haram al-Sharif = Dome of the Rock Complex—where the “current” Temple Mount is located.

The Haram al-Sharif (current Dome of the Rock Complex referred to as the Temple Mount) also fits within the average size of a Roman camp (50 acres), while the temple complex described by Josephus was only nine acres--typical of other Roman-Greco temple complexes of the period.

The size of the Fortress Antonia―based on Josephus and other evidence―show that around 6,000 soldiers were housed there … PLUS 4,000 support personnel. It was like a small city with roads, bakeries, brothels, court rooms and barracks.

Herod built the fortress to protect the Jewish Temple. He named it for his patron Mark Antony (83–30 BCE). The fortress housed the Roman garrison of Jerusalem.

Also, IF—as some “Temple Mount proponents argue”—Fort Antonia was at some other location than the present Haram al-Sharif (Dome of the Rock Complex), then WHY were NOT the Herodian stones from Fortress Antonia found together at another location AND WHY do BOTH Josephus AND Eleazar―who led the final contingent of Jewish resistance to the Romans at Masada―certify as eye-witnesses that the Roman fortress which had long been in Jerusalem was the ONLY structure left after the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus and his forces.

Josephus mentioned the utter ruin of the Temple and all the City of Jerusalem, but he gave no reference that the Haram al-Sharif was ordered to be retained or that Titus and his general staff commanded those walls should continue to remain intact. But they have survived unto our modern times. Through the centuries those 10,000 stones have remained in their original positions making up the four walls of the Haram [confines of the Roman Fortress Antonia] as a prominent and dominant architectural facility in the City of Jerusalem.

SUMMARY

Tradition holds strong that the current Temple Mount is the original location of the Temples; however, the testimony of eye-witnesses who were at Jerusalem before, during and after the diestruction of Jerusalem certify otherwise. In addition—and certainly more importantly—is the prophecy of Yeshua that “You see all these? Yes! I tell you, they will be totally destroyed—not a single stone will be left standing!”

The First and Second Temples {of Solomon and Zerubbabel) were located on the Ophel mound just to the north of the original Mount Zion on the southeast ridge. We will investigate more concerning this in our following sessions.

I trust this teaching will add insight into the REAL location of the First and Second Jewish Temples … AND … where the Third Temple may be built.

LOCATION OF THE JEWISH TEMPLE ~ PART 1
JOSEPHUS & EYE WITNESSES VS. TRADITION

I want to talk to you today about a brand new series that I want to present to you. I want to talk to you about the Third Temple in Jerusalem … and specifically about where the Third Temple will be (should be) built.

In a previous podcast teaching, I taught about Third Temple: Timing and Terrorists. We talked about the timing of its construction on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and the effect of terrorism with relation to its construction. Plus the question that nobody asks!

Just to give you a brief background, the New Global Governance leader will appoint a Head of Global Religion who will be the False Prophet, who persecutes Jews and real Christians.

The Head of Global Religion―the False Prophet―will demand people worldwide to worship the new global governance leader, who will be the FALSE messiah referred to in the New Testament as The Beast.

The False Prophet will construct an image of the Beast and demand the populace to worship the image. Also, after the Third Temple is completed … about 42 months later in the middle of the seven year covenant―that's the seven year treaty that the anti-Christ Beast will make between the Jews and Palestinians―the New Global Governance Leader (the anti-type actually of Antiochus Epiphanes IV who in 168 BCE sacrificed a sow on the altar in the temple―will go into the temple and declared that he is God (just like Antiochus IV did).

He will profane the temple. So after the temple is built―around 42 months into the seven year covenant (about halfway through)―the anti-christ FALSE Messiah will go into the Third Temple and declare that he is god. He will blaspheme the REAL GOD.

The Bible tells us in the Book of Daniel Chapter 11, verse 31:

”For the day will not come until after apostasy has come and the man who separates himself from Torah has been revealed. The one destined for doom. He will oppose himself to everything that people call a God or make an object of worship. He will put himself above them all so that he will sit in the Temple of God and proclaim that he himself is God.”

Now it's at this time that Israel will go into the time of Jacob's trouble, but Israel will be delivered at the end of the last 42 months of that seven year period when Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah appears at the end of the seven-year covenant. The New global governance with regional Islamic horses will attack Israel. These forces will be marshaled by what scripture calls the Beast, who is the FALSE messiah; the New Global Governance Leader.

However, at the last nanosecond, the REAL Messiah will appear from Heaven and He will defeat the anti-Israel armies. Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) will set up his kingdom where peace, prosperity and purity will abound. Israel wins permanently.

Now let me ask you the question that nobody asks: “Will the REAL Messiah cleanse the Third Temple which has been profaned by the the Beast―the anti-christ―or will He make a NEW Fourth Temple during his rule?” What do you think?

Let me quote to you from Jeremiah Chapter 33:14: “Behold, the days are coming, says, Adonai, when I will fulfill this good promise which I have proclaimed for the House of Israel and the House of Judah.” My friend, good things are coming. But before they do, there's going to be some very bad times.

Now let's go back to what I was talking about when I opened this segment. I want to start a new series on the Third Temple … where it's going to be located. You probably ask me, “Why do you say that; it's on the Temple Mount.” Wait a minute, my friend, I'm go to share some new things that I have researched … I have discovered.

Anyway, I'm going to share some things in this new series that will completely revolutionize the geopolitics of the end times. And I'm going to share with you some things that could absolutely revolutionize thinking about “time tables” of the lAst Days … and it might even move things up a little more quickly.

Let me share with you some interesting things. First of all, let's talk about the Temple Mount. In a mass of over 375 literary descriptions from several versions of the Bible, and the Talmud, and other Jewish sources, plus pseudepigrapha and Apocrypha. They all demonstrate the First and Second Jewish temples stood in the city of David above the Gihon Springs … and NOT where the Dome of the Rock (the Temple Mount) is located now. Not where many scholars say the Temple was located. I'm going to verify this, and I'm going to give you lots of teaching on this'

I'm talking about the traditional view (current belief) that many hold about the Temple Mount or Haram Al-Sharif as compared with Josephus' description that the Roman Fort Antonio was where the Dome of the Rock is now … and NOT the location of the Jewish Temple. Now, why am I saying that? Because I would rather believe what a person who was there when Jerusalem stood, when the temple stood … and was there when Jerusalem was destroyed … and was there after Jerusalem was destroyed.

I would rather hear what Josephus has to say. Josephus is probably the most popular Jewish historian of the ages. I would rather listen to what he says than what some 21st Century “scholars?” and rabbbis might say about ithe Temple location (be they Jewish or Gentile).

To give you a little background of Josephus ... he lived in Jerusalem. He was there, during the destruction ot the Temple. He saw it after the temple was destroyed. And he was even given the records, the Jewish records of the construction of Fort Antonio by king Herod.

He was also given the Roman records of Jewish wars. What happened, when they happened, and where they happened. Josephus is impeccably accurate. He's a first century eyewitness observant. And not as I said, a 21st century guesser! Josephus definitely said that the Jewish temple was in the City of David, not where people think it is now. Now, why am I sharing this? And why is it so important in this series we're getting ready to cover?

Here's why? If the Jewish people understand that the Temple never stood on the Dome of the Rock complex (or what they call the Temple Mount), then the construction of Third Temple could begin immediately in the city of David on the Southeast Ridge of Jerusalem.

Tradition is probably stronger than historical fact. In other words, tradition is stronger than what an eye witness named. Josephus said! Only something supernatural―maybe some NEW archaeological findings―or some other dynamic happening can change the traditionalist thinking problem.

But my purpose in this series is to change that. Will the spirit of tradition override the spirit of truth?! The Temple, my friend, was not where they say it is now at the Temple Mount. It was in the City of David. There are archaeologists, historians, and academics convinced that the First and Second Jewish Temple NEVER stood on what is recognized NOW as the Temple Mount.

Let me tell you something to think about. If they could get Mount Zion's location wrong for so many years, isn't it possible they could get the location of the Temple wrong? So we're going to cover that in this series. We're going to discuss some important things. And we're going to delve into a lot of what Josephus, the Jewish historian, taught about where the Jewish temple stood. Okay, my friend, buckle up and hang on for the ride.

Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai.

As Yeshua left the Temple and was going away, his talmidim came and called his attention to its buildings. But he answered them, “You see all these? Yes! I tell you, they will be totally destroyed—not a single stone will be left standing!” [Mattiyahu (Matthew) 24:1-2]

NOTICE

The stones of the Roman Fortress (Fort Antonia) were left standing where the Dome of the Rock Complex (Haram al-Sharif) is NOW located … referred to commonly as the Temple Mount area.

 ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

The Dome of the Rock is built on top of the Foundation Stone, which is sacred to both Jews and Muslims. According to Jewish tradition, the stone is the “navel of the Earth”—the place where creation began, and the site where Abraham was poised to sacrifice Isaac.

The Temple which existed in Jesus' day (and where the First Temple was previously located) was NOT located on the area referred to NOW as the Temple Mount (Dome of the Rock Complex or Haram al-Sharif).

Both the First and Second Temples were located on Ophel mound over the area of the Gihon Spring.

The Jewish people knew—up to the period that Islam emerged, even to the time of the Crusades—that the southeast ridge was the location of their "Mount Zion" and the site of all the Temples built in Jerusalem. Indeed, modern scholars realize that this is true for the real location of "Mount Zion," however, these same scholars and religious leaders fail to place the "Temple Mount" at that "Mount Zion" on the southeast ridge where it obviously belongs.

The Holy Scriptures clearly place the 1st and 2nd Jewish Temples over and around the Gihon Spring on the southeast ridge (on top of the original "Mount Ophel") in Mount Zion, City of David. But scholars and religious leaders continue insisting (and even dogmatically demanding) that the Temples of Solomon, Zerubbabel and Herod were centered within the parameters of the Haram esh-Sharif.

IMPORTANT QUESTION

GUESS WHO WANTS TO BELIEVE THAT THE FIRST AND SECOND JEWISH TEMPLES WERE LOCATED ON THE CURRENT “DOME OF THE ROCK COMPLEX” … OR WHAT IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE TEMPLE MOUNT?

■ TEMPLE INSTITUTE: TRADITION SINCE 1099 C.E.

■ ISLAM: BELIEF THAT THE DOME OF THE ROCK IS OVER MOUNT MORIAH

■ SATAN: IF ISRAEL AND THE JEWS CAN NOW BUILD THE THIRD TEMPLE IN ANOTHER AREA─NOT THE COMMONLY CALLED TEMPLE MOUNT AREA─AN AREA WHERE THE FIRST AND SECOND TEMPLES ACTUALLY STOOD … IT WOULD SPEED UP THE RETURN OF MESSIAH AND THE JUDGMENT OF SATAN.

~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~  ~

SOME OTHER POINTS TO CONSIDER

The dimensions of the Temple (with its unique shape and characteristics) could NOT be the same as Fort Antonia―Haram al-Sharif = Dome of the Rock Complex—where the “current” Temple Mount is located.

The Haram al-Sharif (current Dome of the Rock Complex referred to as the Temple Mount) also fits within the average size of a Roman camp (50 acres), while the temple complex described by Josephus was only nine acres--typical of other Roman-Greco temple complexes of the period.

 

The size of the Fortress Antonia―based on Josephus and other evidence―show that around 6,000 soldiers were housed there … PLUS 4,000 support personnel. It was like a small city with roads, bakeries, brothels, court rooms and barracks.

Herod built the fortress to protect the Jewish Temple. He named it for his patron Mark Antony (83–30 BCE). The fortress housed the Roman garrison of Jerusalem.

Also, IF—as some “Temple Mount proponents argue”—Fort Antonia was at some other location than the present Haram al-Sharif (Dome of the Rock Complex), then WHY were NOT the Herodian stones from Fortress Antonia found together at another location AND WHY do BOTH Josephus AND Eleazar―who led the final contingent of Jewish resistance to the Romans at Masada―certify as eye-witnesses that the Roman fortress which had long been in Jerusalem was the ONLY structure left after the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus and his forces.

Josephus mentioned the utter ruin of the Temple and all the City of Jerusalem, but he gave no reference that the Haram al-Sharif was ordered to be retained or that Titus and his general staff commanded those walls should continue to remain intact. But they have survived unto our modern times.

Through the centuries those 10,000 stones have remained in their original positions making up the four walls of the Haram [confines of the Roman Fortress Antonia] as a prominent and dominant architectural facility in the City of Jerusalem.

SUMMARY

Tradition holds strong that the current Temple Mount is the original location of the Temples; however, the testimony of eye-witnesses who were at Jerusalem before, during and after the diestruction of Jerusalem certify otherwise. In addition—and certainly more importantly—is the prophecy of Yeshua that “You see all these? Yes! I tell you, they will be totally destroyed—not a single stone will be left standing!”

The First and Second Temples {of Solomon and Zerubbabel) were located on the Ophel mound just to the north of the original Mount Zion on the southeast ridge. We will investigate more concerning this in our following sessions.

I trust this teaching will add insight into the REAL location of the First and Second Jewish Temples … AND … where the Third Temple may be built.

DESCRIPTION OF THIS TEACHING

The construction of the Third Jewish Temple could begin immediately IF the Jewish leaders ... and the Temple Institute ... understood that the First and Second Jewish Temples were NEVER located on the Dome of the Rock Complex; Haram al-Sharif.

 

This is Part One in a Series to develop a construct proving that the Jewish Temple was NOT on the traditional location (referred to as the Temple Mount), but was in the City of David.

LOCATION OF THE JEWISH TEMPLE ~ PART 1
JOSEPHUS & EYE WITNESSES VS. TRADITION

I want to talk to you today about a brand new series that I want to present to you. I want to talk to you about the Third Temple in Jerusalem … and specifically about where the Third Temple will be (should be) built.

In a previous podcast teaching on the Podcast Satellite site, I taught about Third Temple: Timing and Terrorists. We talked about the timing of its construction on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and the effect of terrorism with relation to its construction. Plus the question that nobody asks!

Just to give you a brief background, the New Global Governance leader will appoint a Head of Global Religion who will be the False Prophet, who persecutes Jews and real Christians.

The Head of Global Religion―the False Prophet―will demand people worldwide to worship the new global governance leader, who will be the FALSE messiah referred to in the New Testament as The Beast.

The False Prophet will construct an image of the Beast and demand the populace to worship the image. Also, after the Third Temple is completed … about 42 months later in the middle of the seven year covenant―that's the seven year treaty that the anti-Christ Beast will make between the Jews and Palestinians―the New Global Governance Leader (the anti-type actually of Antiochus Epiphanes IV who in 168 BCE sacrificed a sow on the altar in the temple―will go into the temple and declared that he is God (just like Antiochus IV did).

He will profane the temple. So after the temple is built―around 42 months into the seven year covenant (about halfway through)―the anti-christ FALSE Messiah will go into the Third Temple and declare that he is god. He will blaspheme the REAL GOD.

The Bible tells us in the Book of Daniel Chapter 11, verse 31:

”For the day will not come until after apostasy has come and the man who separates himself from Torah has been revealed. The one destined for doom. He will oppose himself to everything that people call a God or make an object of worship. He will put himself above them all so that he will sit in the Temple of God and proclaim that he himself is God.”

Now it's at this time that Israel will go into the time of Jacob's trouble, but Israel will be delivered at the end of the last 42 months of that seven year period when Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah appears at the end of the seven-year covenant. The New global governance with regional Islamic horses will attack Israel. These forces will be marshaled by what scripture calls the Beast, who is the FALSE messiah; the New Global Governance Leader.

However, at the last nanosecond, the REAL Messiah will appear from Heaven and He will defeat the anti-Israel armies. Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) will set up his kingdom where peace, prosperity and purity will abound. Israel wins permanently.

Now let me ask you the question that nobody asks: “Will the REAL Messiah cleanse the Third Temple which has been profaned by the the Beast―the anti-christ―or will He make a NEW Fourth Temple during his rule?” What do you think?

Let me quote to you from Jeremiah Chapter 33:14: “Behold, the days are coming, says, Adonai, when I will fulfill this good promise which I have proclaimed for the House of Israel and the House of Judah.” My friend, good things are coming. But before they do, there's going to be some very bad times.

Now let's go back to what I was talking about when I opened this segment. I want to start a new series on the Third Temple … where it's going to be located. You probably ask me, “Why do you say that; it's on the Temple Mount.” Wait a minute, my friend, I'm go to share some new things that I have researched … I have discovered.

Anyway, I'm going to share some things in this new series that will completely revolutionize the geopolitics of the end times. And I'm going to share with you some things that could absolutely revolutionize thinking about “time tables” of the lAst Days … and it might even move things up a little more quickly.

Let me share with you some interesting things. First of all, let's talk about the Temple Mount. In a mass of over 375 literary descriptions from several versions of the Bible, and the Talmud, and other Jewish sources, plus pseudepigrapha and Apocrypha. They all demonstrate the First and Second Jewish temples stood in the city of David above the Gihon Springs … and NOT where the Dome of the Rock (the Temple Mount) is located now. Not where many scholars say the Temple was located. I'm going to verify this, and I'm going to give you lots of teaching on this'

I'm talking about the traditional view (current belief) that many hold about the Temple Mount or Haram Al-Sharif as compared with Josephus' description that the Roman Fort Antonio was where the Dome of the Rock is now … and NOT the location of the Jewish Temple. Now, why am I saying that? Because I would rather believe what a person who was there when Jerusalem stood, when the temple stood … and was there when Jerusalem was destroyed … and was there after Jerusalem was destroyed.

I would rather hear what Josephus has to say. Josephus is probably the most popular Jewish historian of the ages. I would rather listen to what he says than what some 21st Century “scholars?” and rabbbis might say about ithe Temple location (be they Jewish or Gentile).

To give you a little background of Josephus ... he lived in Jerusalem. He was there, during the destruction ot the Temple. He saw it after the temple was destroyed. And he was even given the records, the Jewish records of the construction of Fort Antonio by king Herod.

He was also given the Roman records of Jewish wars. What happened, when they happened, and where they happened. Josephus is impeccably accurate. He's a first century eyewitness observant. And not as I said, a 21st century guesser! Josephus definitely said that the Jewish temple was in the City of David, not where people think it is now. Now, why am I sharing this? And why is it so important in this series we're getting ready to cover?

Here's why? If the Jewish people understand that the Temple never stood on the Dome of the Rock complex (or what they call the Temple Mount), then the construction of Third Temple could begin immediately in the city of David on the Southeast Ridge of Jerusalem.

Tradition is probably stronger than historical fact. In other words, tradition is stronger than what an eye witness named. Josephus said! Only something supernatural―maybe some NEW archaeological findings―or some other dynamic happening can change the traditionalist thinking problem.

But my purpose in this series is to change that. Will the spirit of tradition override the spirit of truth?! The Temple, my friend, was not where they say it is now at the Temple Mount. It was in the City of David. There are archaeologists, historians, and academics convinced that the First and Second Jewish Temple NEVER stood on what is recognized NOW as the Temple Mount.

Let me tell you something to think about. If they could get Mount Zion's location wrong for so many years, isn't it possible they could get the location of the Temple wrong? So we're going to cover that in this series. We're going to discuss some important things. And we're going to delve into a lot of what Josephus, the Jewish historian, taught about where the Jewish temple stood. Okay, my friend, buckle up and hang on for the ride.

Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai.
