It must be remembered that the original Temple Mount (Ornan threshingfloor; 1 Chron 21:20), was changed and enlarged by king Herod in the first century. The temple measurements could not be changed, but the setting could. This enlargement was the court of the gentiles, it included the Roman Antonio's fortress at one corner of the Temple Mount. Today's Western Wall or Katel is the retaining wall build to the present Temple Mount. The Scriptures also gives us a clue to what is going to transpire in the latter days on those Temple Grounds.
Rev 11:2 2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. (KJV)

After the coming war of Ezekiel 38 and 39 (not Armageddon), which comes seven years later, but that which begins Jacobs trouble (Tribulation), the coming Anti-Christ will make a treaty with Israel, and during that time Israel will be permitted to build a pre-fabricated Temple, with the courts remaining in the hands of the Gentiles. It must be noted that even the beast will be permitted to sit in that Temple, by the majority of the Judaic religious system of that time. During the first century, the High Priest system was also corrupted, Caiaphas himself was not a Levite but a descendant of Esau placed there by Herod.
The Future Temple mentioned in Ezekiel is only erected after the coming of the messiah, and will be build during the millenium age.

If you count every 4th letter in Gen 2:9 in hebrew you will find the word ZION.
"veTS hachayIm betOch hagaN" - "and the tree of life inside the garden"
It seems that the tree of life was in Zion!
