Shalom to you all

Last year or so, the Israeli's opened a tunnel that led away from the Al
Aksah Mosque and did not lead anywhere near to the Dome of the Rock than
its own entrance. Thus the tunnel actually made no impact geographically on
either of these two sites on Mount Moriah (Temple Mount) that are revered
by Muslims. A simple straight forward non threatening act - we might say.
What happened? A MINI WAR............! With dozens of dead on both sides.

In such a context it seems unlikely that any attempt to build the Third
Temple on, or anywhere near, Mount Moriah, would be a peacefull exercise!

Have anyone of you noticed this little Gem of information? ...........

It is generally accepted that the period of Gentile control of the City of
Jerusalem commenced with the capture of the city by Nebuchudnezzar in 586
BCE, while it is generally deemed to have ended in 1967 CE, with the
capture of the city by IDF forces. A quite long period - of 2552 years to
be precise (allowing for the deletion of one year, when converting from BCE
dates to CE dates. Any significance....(you might ask)?

Well....what is the date that is slap bang in the middle of this long
period  - i.e. the lowest spot in this long period of gentile domination of
the city? Well 691 CE of course.

That is 1967 + 586 = 2553 (minus 1 for BC/BCE conversion) - thus 2552.
Divide by 2 = 1276 (the half way point).

Then delete 1276 from 1967 CE to get to 691CE.

Thus 691 CE is the middle year of this long period of Gentile control of
the City of Jerusalem.

WHAT HAPPENED IN 691CE?

The Completion of the Building of the Dome of the Rock! Check your history
books.

So what is the Dome of the Rock? It is the expression of the lowest point
in the Gentile Domination of the City of Jerusalem.

I somehow think that Satan is going to become a little agitated if anyone
tried to move it. Don't you?

Having been to Jerusalem myself, and having stood many times on the Temple
Mount, when leading Tour Parties, I often point out that the Dome of the
Rock may not actually be built on the very place - down to the very metre
of the 1st and 2nd Temples, but it is pretty near to close. There is a very
large area of space all around it. Somewhare in this large area of space
around the Dome of the Rock was the site of the 1st and 2nd Temples. I
think that if any one tried to put the 3rd Temple on the actual site of the
1st and 2nd - the Muslims are quite likely to notice it! Now they get
pretty agitated if you so much as pray in a small group anywhere in that
space. And, if they got so upset about that little tunnel - what will they
do if someone tries to build a Temple alongside the Dome of the Rock?

I think that it could be a bumpy ride!

The temple Mount group has everything ready.  They are waiting for the
red Hiefer's ashes.  If this cow they have now is the one we'll know
by next August, which is when she'll be ready for sacrifice.

My understanding is that in order to start up the sacrifical system
all that is really needed  is the tabernacle.  Consider that the
tabernacle is mobile and easy to move in it's orininal set up.   Are
we looking in the wrong direction when we think Temple?
