Got a Trivia for you. Was Solomon's Temple built on Mount Moriah or Mount Zion ? ? ?

2 Samuel 5:7 (ESV)
7 Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.

Lamentations 2:6 (HCSB)
6 He has done violence to His temple as if ⌊it were⌋ a garden ⌊booth⌋, destroying His place of meeting. The LORD has abolished appointed festivals and Sabbaths in Zion. He has despised king and priest in His fierce anger.

Yet:

2 Chronicles 3:1 (YLT)
1 And Solomon beginneth to build the house of Jehovah, in Jerusalem, in the mount of Moriah, where He appeared to David his father, in the place that David had prepared, in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite,


I will post the answer to this puzzle in a few days.

Okay, time for the ANSWER to this TRIVIA.


At the time of Solomon, the City of Jerusalem was the City of David, and their was nothing on the modern day supposed Temple Mount, they GUESSED where it was when they returned from Exile in the mid 400 A.D. The Jewish committee of Rabbi's GUESS wrong, and called the Temple Mount 800 feet further North than it really was.

PLUS Mount Moriah was NOT a single Peak, the Name of the WHOLE RIDGE. The southern part of the OPHEL was Mount Zion, which was Located in the CENTER of RIDGE known as Mount Moriah. SO BOTH Mount Moriah and Mount Zion, are BOTH the CORRECT location of the TEMPLE.

Ok, time 'for' an answer. Lazarus was the fourth person to rise from the dead, confirmed when Jesus said, "Lazarus, come forth (fourth)!"
(Okay, okay, no throwing tomatoes)

After Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, who made plans to kill him (Lazarus)?

I would have said the Pharisees, but the verse actually says the 'chief priests'.
Interesting that not long before this, Jesus was teaching to the Pharisees (and others) and taught them the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man, which ended with "..if they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead" (Luke 16:31).
Then here we have the death and resurrection of a man of the same name, Lazarus, and rather than be convinced of Jesus credentials, they decided to get rid of the evidence. "..So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well, for on account of him many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and putting their faith in him." (John 12:10)

It is interesting, but I suppose not surprising, that the psalms were numbered before NT times. The quote is by Paul in the book of Acts..
Act 13:33 ..this God has fulfilled to us their children, raising up Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm, "You are My Son, this day I have begotten You."

Statue of limitations has run out so I'll proceed.

How many were on the shipwrecked boat Paul traveled on, on his way to Rome?
