I just found out that their was a single Colonnade on east side of the TEMPLE. I was for people who wanted the experience of walking into the Temple and visually seeing the Curtain on the Holy of Holies as all doors were open during Feasts Days. That would be special for the Gentile Believers, as they could not go any further than to the Court of the Gentiles. So I found an etching that seem to fit, and added it to this drawing. Don't forget the two Colonnades on the west end were for Roman Soldiers in an EMERGENCY to get to the TEMPLE quickly, so I doubt that anyone else could even wonder onto that Colonnade Bridges. They would have all four of the top two Colonnades, Guarded at all times. Roman Guards on all four of those sites, would have been visible from the two towers on each of the south side corners.

On the east side the seems to be one Gate, unless like Josephus reported, the Gate of the Essens, was a second name for the East Gate, or the entrance to eastern Colonnade was considered a GATE.

DID YOU PICK UP ON THIS FACT FROM JOSEPHUS:

But if we go the other way westward, it began at the same place; and extended through a place called Bethso, to the gate of the Essens: and after that it went southward: having its bending above the fountain Siloam; where it also bends again towards the east at Solomon’s pool, and reaches as far as a certain place which they called Ophlas [what they called the OPHEL], where it was joined to the eastern cloister of the temple. The second wall took its beginning from that gate which they called Gennath, which belonged to the first wall. It only encompassed the northern quarter of the city, and reached as far as the tower Antonia. - Josephus The Jewish War Book V chapter 4

Josephus PINPOINTED US to the OPHEL is the CORRECT LOCATION of THE TEMPLE.

The following which comes from studying the ESSENES all day and trying to figure out how and why the ESSENES USED the Gate toward northeast corner, to enter the Temple, when there village was on west. The ESSENES GATE was on probably on the Northeast Corner attached to the Temple. I have come to the conclusion the the Essenes Gate, and the Eastern Gate are the NOT the same gate. The Eastern Gate had to be dead center with the other Gates to the TEMPLE; while this Gate of the Essenes most likely had to be on the corner. The were a very religious sect of Jews who believed God would send the Messiah, and most continued to believe Jesus was the Messiah. Very little has been written about them, however it appears to me that they wanted their first view of GOD’s House to be from the Front, but was unable to figure out WHY. They must have crossed over to the vacinity of God’s House thru the Valley Gate, to the close to the nearest migveh, (some spell it Mikvah), went DOWN the stairs 36 more steps, to the Garden, (the Garden was level portion of the 600 feet the Colonnades specifically measured), cross over to just before the Gate of the Essenes, southeast where there was another migveh, in case someone figured he or she had been defiled in the Crossing, (something as simple as taking to Roman Soldier would be defiling), and then through the Gate of the Essenes, or Eastern Gate. Perhaps it looked like this:

Not sure why the patch turned out to look so much darker. Could not find an option to lighten it up.

The Essene Quarter of Jerusalem in the Time of Herod

. . .


About 50 Essene kohanim lived in the Essene quarter of Jerusalem between 30 BC and 70 AD. Celibate, they had stricter purity laws than those of Jerusalem Temple priests. Essenes were faithful servants who had suffered wrongly, and the suffering servant could be an Essene interpolation specifically of the experience of an Essene leader about thirty years before the crucifixion.


(Similar to modern day Mennonites.)


. . .

Ritual Baths

The discovery of several miqva’ot or ritual baths just outside the gate further supports the identification of this area as an Essene quarter.


There was a double miqveh about 160 feet from the (Valley) gate. (Presumably under the Double Colonnades.) Originally discovered more than a hundred years ago by Claude Conder, these miqva’ot were just outside the ancient city wall and were situated on top of a rock shelf, from which one could descend 36 steps to a garden, level with the Gate of the Essenes. One of the two baths had a divider between the steps of descent and the steps of ascent, as also appears in the Qumran miqva’ot. Presumably, the steps of ascent were for the purified bather to emerge without recontamination.

(End Quote).



AND on top of it all, the so-called TEMPLE MOUNT was almost barren of TREES, DISPITE THIS VERSE:


Count the Trees!

Josephus placed Solomon building the TEMPLE on the OPHEL, not on top of the so-called Temple Mount.

I just thought of a reason why the Jews for the most Part, have denied that Josephus knew what he was talking in the above Post.
It would be extremely difficult if they accepted one Eye Witness to where the TEMPLE WAS, while continuing to DENY that over 500 Eye Witnesses to the fact that CHRIST ROSE FROM THE DEAD, Validating that HE WAS THEIR MESSIAH and Ours!

1 Corinthians 15:6 (HCSB)
6 Then He appeared to over 500 brothers at one time; most of them are still alive, but some have fallen asleep.

WHY DO I THINK CHRISTIANS SHOULD SUPPORT THE BUILDING OF THE THIRD TEMPLE?

Yes I do for certain. Some of my reasons may surprise you, and some are obvious.

Yes, I long to go HOME, to be with the Lord, and obviously I believe in the Pretribulation Rapture, and I do not want that statement to be an invite to sideline or highjack this thread to another topic. I do not care what you believe: Pre-Trib (Hallelujah), Mid-Trib, or Post-Trib, I absolutely do not want this thread to be highjacked to another subject. You all should know how start your own thread, so do it.

I absolutely believe this verse is talking about Covenants:

Mark 10:31 (YLT)
31 and many first shall be last, and the last first.'

So the New Covenant shall be the first to go the heaven, and the remnant of ISRAEL believer's will be Last. Yes, I believe the Jews that understand that JESUS is their MESSIAH are instantly Christians. But there will be lots of Jews will not believe until the TWO WITNESSES get Here, after the 70 WEEKS of Daniel have began. When is that ? ? ? Some where just before Rev. 4:1 or no later than Rev. 5:14. NO I DO NOT INTEND TO DEBATE THAT ON THIS THREAD. Start your own thread, if you want to debate it.

I believe O.T. true believers and the N.T. true believers are both going to be part of the Bride of Christ. Here is WHY:

O.T. Saints are those who believe GOD would send His Messiah to pay for their Sins.

N.T. Saints are those who know God did send His Messiah to pay for their Sins.

That is the Faith of Abraham.

Here JESUS is talking to the last of O.T. Saints:

John 10:1 (HCSB)
1 “I assure you: Anyone who doesn’t enter the sheep pen by the door but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

So it is not KEEPING THE LAW that got them SAVED, but WHY THEY KEPT THE LAW, the same as US, we strive to keep the law, because we LOVE HIM. No I do not want to debate that subject on this thread.

John 10:16 (HCSB)
16 But I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock, one shepherd. (,I absolutely believe that will happen at the RAPTURE.)

And some of those have not received our testimony, because of no miracles were done, we know that only hope they have, is to have the TWO WITNESSES share their TESTIMONY, with miracles. So we all should want to have the RAPTURE HAPPEN QUICKLY, and HAVE GOD get on with HIS PLAN for ISRAEL, so that many of them can get SAVED. NO I DO NOT WANT ANY ONE TO GET OFF SUBJECT, THE NEWS FROM ISRAEL ABOUT THE THIRD TEMPLE, AND CURRENT EVENTS THAT ARE DELAYING IT.

Isaiah 46:11 (HCSB)
11 I call a bird of prey from the east, a man for My purpose from a far country.
Yes, I have spoken; so I will also bring it about. I have planned it; I will also do it.

I JUST WANTED YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHY I THINK THIS SUBJECT IS SO IMPORTANT AT THIS TIME, SEEMS TO BE RIGHT FOR THE BUILDING OF THE THIRD TEMPLE, BUT IT WILL HAPPEN WHEN GOD SAYS IT IS TIME.

This is an old drawing placing the Temple on the OPHEL, probably drawn by a Messianic Jew. And it looks like a gate to the North along the Eastern Wall that would been Essene Gate and the East Gate was right in the middle.

I was not going to post this wild theory, as it seemed far fetched.

Okay, now we has a 6th Theory, of Jewish Locations of the THIRD TIMPLE. And this one is not even in the City of Jerusalem. It is one or two of the smaller sects of Jews that have this theory, and a very few churches or cults that believe this, including the JW's. They want to believe the Jewish Third Temple should go in the Jewish Desert west of Jerusalem or the City of David, which is wrong, because it is not a WOODED HILL.

Ezikiel's Prophecy 41 - 43

Jeremiah 26:18 (HCSB)
18 “Micah the Moreshite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah and said to all the people of Judah, ‘This is what the LORD of Hosts says: Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become ruins, and the temple mount a forested hill.

Now I will try to step out on a Limb and give an explanation for what is called the Ezekiel's TEMPLE. That article that I read above did not know for sure where the River Chebar is. I studies it out and found it is southeast of Jerusalem.

Ezekiel 43:1-10 (NASB)
1 Then he led me to the gate, the gate facing toward the east;
2 and behold, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the way of the east. And His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.

3 And it was like the appearance of the vision which I saw, like the vision which I saw when He came to destroy the city. And the visions were like the vision which I saw by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face.

4 And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate facing toward the east.
5 And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
6 Then I heard one speaking to me from the house, while a man was standing beside me.
7 He said to me, "Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the sons of Israel forever. And the house of Israel will not again defile My holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their harlotry and by the corpses of their kings when they die,
8 by setting their threshold by My threshold and their door post beside My door post, with only the wall between Me and them. And they have defiled My holy name by their abominations which they have committed. So I have consumed them in My anger.
9 "Now let them put away their harlotry and the corpses of their kings far from Me; and I will dwell among them forever.
10 "As for you, son of man, describe the temple to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the plan.



Eze 45:1 “Now when you divide the land by lot for inheritance, you shall offer an allotment to the LORD, a holy portion of the land; the length shall be a length of twenty-five thousand cubits, (that is 7.1 miles long,) and the width shall be twenty thousand. It shall be holy within its entire surrounding boundary.
Eze 45:2 “Out of this there shall be for the sanctuary a square encompassing five hundred by five hundred cubits, and fifty cubits for its open space round about.
Eze 45:3 “From this area you shall measure a length of twenty-five thousand cubits and a width of ten thousand cubits; and in it shall be the sanctuary, the Most Holy Place.
Eze 45:4 “It shall be the holy portion of the land; it shall be for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who come near to serve the LORD, and it shall be a place for their houses and a holy place for the sanctuary.
Eze 45:5 “An area twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width shall be for the Levites, the ministers of the house, and for their possession cities in which to live.
Eze 45:6 “And you shall give the city possession of an area five thousand cubits wide and twenty-five thousand cubits long, alongside the allotment of the holy portion; it shall be for the entire house of Israel.


That means THIS is a Prophecy of the FOURTH TEMPLE, the enemies of Christ, JESUS will destroy when the times of the Gentiles is complete.

The River Chebar runs north and south and is almost almost northeast well over 300 miles, and into the Euphrates River. Not likely there are 2 Chebar rivers. It is in the desert Southeast of Jerusalem now. The Lord will reshape the earth to have a Level plain that way, and it will run from just north of Jerusalem all the way down to the southern end of the Dead Sea.

That fits in with the Antichrist coming in Zech, Chapter 14.

Zechariah 14:1-7 (HCSB)
1 A day of the LORD is coming when your plunder will be divided in your presence.
2 I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle. The city will be captured, the houses looted, and the women raped. Half the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be removed from the city.
3 Then the LORD will go out to fight against those nations as He fights on a day of battle.
4 On that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. The Mount of Olives will be split in half from east to west, forming a huge valley, so that half the mountain will move to the north and half to the south.
5 You will flee by My mountain valley, for the valley of the mountains will extend to Azal. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come and all the holy ones with Him.
6 On that day there will be no light; the sunlight and moonlight will diminish.
7 It will be a day known ⌊only⌋ to Yahweh, without day or night, but there will be light at evening.

Zechariah 14:8-20 (HCSB)
8 On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea, in summer and winter alike.
9 On that day Yahweh will become King over all the earth—Yahweh alone, and His name alone.
10 All the land from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem will be changed into a plain. But ⌊Jerusalem⌋ will be raised up and will remain on its site from the Benjamin Gate to the place of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses.
11 People will live there, and never again will there be a curse of complete destruction. So Jerusalem will dwell in security.
12 This will be the plague the LORD strikes all the peoples with, who have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
13 On that day a great panic from the LORD will be among them, so that each will seize the hand of another, and the hand of one will rise against the other.
14 Judah will also fight at Jerusalem, and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected: gold, silver, and clothing in great abundance.
15 The same plague as the previous one will strike the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the animals that are in those camps.
16 Then all the survivors from the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts, and to celebrate the Festival of Booths.
17 Should any of the families of the earth not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts, rain will not fall on them.
18 And if the people of Egypt will not go up and enter, then rain will not fall on them; this will be the plague the LORD inflicts on the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Booths.
19 This will be the punishment of Egypt and all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Booths.
20 On that day, ⌊the words⌋ HOLY TO THE LORD will be on the bells of the horses. The pots in the house of the LORD will be like the sprinkling basins before the altar.

THAT IS THE START OF THE MELLINIAL KINGDOM!

After having read the Context of Ezek. 42 - 44, that portion of Scripture is Talking about the Fourth Temple, which Christ Himself shall build, not in the Traditional Site.

Ezekiel 42:13 (NASB77)
13 Then he said to me, "The north chambers and the south chambers, which are opposite the separate area, they are the holy chambers where the priests who are near to the LORD shall eat the most holy things. There they shall lay the most holy things, the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering; for the place is holy.

It is tradition in Judaism, when ever you have a list of things, the most important is listed FIRST.

Ezekiel 42:14 (NASB77)
14 "When the priests enter, then they shall not go out into the outer court from the sanctuary without laying there their garments in which they minister, for they are holy (the garments). They shall put on other garments; then they shall approach that which is for the people."

Ezekiel 43:3 (NASB77)
3 And it was like the appearance of the vision which I saw, like the vision which I saw when He came to destroy the city (Earlier), and like the vision that I had seen by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.

Ezekiel 43:7 (NRSV)
7 He said to me: Mortal, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet, where I will reside among the people of Israel forever. The house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their whoring, and by the corpses of their kings at their death.

This is after the third temple is destroyed by CHRIST HIMSELF. IT IS THE FOURTH TEMPLE.

So how long after the Millennial Kingdom starts will the verse happen? If that prophesy in Verse Ezek 43:27, actually happen ? ? ? If it is talking about Earth Days, it tells us:


Ezekiel 43:27 (NASB77)
27 'And when they have completed the days, it shall be that on the eighth day and onward, the priests shall offer your burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you,' declares the Lord GOD."


That is when GOD offers them a PEACE OFFERING. What starts the COUNT DOWN? This Day:

Revelation 19:11-21 (ISV)
11 Then I saw heaven standing open, and there was a white horse! Its rider is named Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and wages war.
12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that nobody knows except himself.
13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is called the Word of God.
14 The armies of heaven, wearing fine linen, white and pure, follow him on white horses.
15 A sharp sword comes out of his mouth to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod and tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.
16 On his robe and his thigh he has a name written: "King of Kings and Lord of Lords."
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun. He cried out in a loud voice to all the birds flying overhead, "Come! Gather for the great supper of God.
18 Eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of commanders, the flesh of warriors, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, both free and slaves, both unimportant and important."
19 Then I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army.
20 The beast was captured, along with the false prophet who had performed signs on its behalf. By these signs the false prophet had deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. Both of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.
21 The rest were killed by the sword that belonged to the rider on the horse and that came from his mouth. And all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.


I do not think it will take him more than a Day, to wipe them out. Do You?

Ezekiel 46:11-12 (NASB77)
11 "And at the festivals and the appointed feasts the grain offering shall be an ephah with a bull and an ephah with a ram, and with the lambs as much as one is able to give, and a hin of oil with an ephah.
12 "And when the prince provides a freewill offering, a burnt offering, or peace offerings as a freewill offering to the LORD, the gate facing east shall be opened for him. And he shall provide his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he does on the sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and the gate shall be shut after he goes out.

Zechariah 14:16-19 (NASB77)
16 Then it will come about that any who are left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to celebrate the Feast of Booths.
17 And it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, there will be no rain on them.
18 And if the family of Egypt does not go up or enter, then no rain will fall on them; it will be the plague with which the LORD smites the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.
19 This will be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.

You have to wonder; Why has not the Church been Practicing the Festival of BOOTHS ? ? ?

This would go on the right side of that above picture, see that raised ground on the right side, further evidence, it is on the OPHEL where the Temple was Built.

TEMPLE and north of is was only the Fortress of Antonia. And look this historian came up with the same location as I did.





The Line NEVER went beyond the OPHEL.




This is the Model of the temple, and even the Model has a HIGHER HILL BEHIND IT.

I do not know why so many Christians have bought into the so-called Temple Mount THEORY. It was Voted on in a very close election, after limiting the site to FOUR possible sites, right or wrong, voted it had to be on the highest hill, in 1212 A.D. THIS election after the JEWS were in exile for over a 1000 years, and after the ROMANS had utterly destroyed every building that was remotely associated with anything JEWISH. WHY, Romans wanted it to LOOK ROMAN, and gave it a ROMAN NAME. And after Prince Bar Kokhba started to rebuild the Third Temple, by having workmen remove the bedrock, because the ROMAN'S built a TEMPLE to JUPITER on that site, so Mt. ZION was no longer a Mountain, but a Wooded HILL, defiled because of that ROMAN Pagan Temple was there. Jerusalem was renamed Aelia Capitolina. Bar Kokhba, never finished what he started, as HE was killed in a battle with the ROMANS three YEARS later. So in 1212 A.D. most of the land marks were GONE, so they picked the next highest mountain to the West, and called it (erroneously) Mt. Zion. AND they also choose the higher mountian Mt. Moriah, without even realizing, Mt. Moriah was not the name of a single PEAK, but the NAME OF THE ENTIRE RIDGE, back in 1212 A.D. So even Christians started traditionally thought the so called Temple Mount had to be where the Jews had said GOD HAD CHOSEN THE TEMPLE SHOULD BE. WRONG! THEN MODERN DAY CHRISTIANS who had never thought they had to research to verifiy the real locations, just chimed in with the JEWS have made the mistake of just going along with the Jews, with NO or LITTLE RESEARCH to back it up. NOW, a whole bunch of Jews, are too embarassed about the JEWS praying at the WRONG WALL ever since 1212 A.D. I saw a video where several said, they know it is on the OPHEL, and don't wand to make waves. So in my opinion, after 4 years of RESEARCH, I am totally convinced the TEMPLE belongs on the OPHEL in the City of DAVID.

Josephus, a time of Christ historian, tells us that the Temple was built just north of David's Palace.
King Solomon inherited it, and then rebuilt or
remodeled it into 3 building of equal size.
Starting from left to right, and on the bottom: Solomon's Palace, one of his Queen's Palace to the right, and JUSTICE HALL.
Why did not they found King Solomon's Palace on top of King David's Palace ? ? ?
IT WAS TORN DOWN BY THE ROMAN'S where no stone would stand on another, in 70 A.D.




In First Century the ESSENES lived their, and then it became known as the Armenian Quarter.

I forgot to point out something on the last post. From the location of the Gihon Springs, it had to be a tunnel that ran northwest after it got up the leg of the tunnel, that ran straight UP. It was NOT, the so called Temple Mount, as it is in the direction to the NORTH ! ! !

When the man made part of the WARREN'S Shaft, was mostly to the NORTHWEST into the center of the OPHEL, not to the NORTH. The purpose for what is now called WARREN'S SHAFT, was to provide SPRING WATER for all the purification ceremonies in the TEMPLE. So it is logical that the workmen who dug the remainder of the tunnel, would have dug it directly to the TEMPLE. Either very near the TEMPLE or actually in the Temple, which I believe it was. Therefore that alone is the proof, that the TEMPLE was located in the center or the northwest corner of the OPHEL.

I still have not found a map with HAGAI VALLEY on it, and will share it with you, if I do. I did however find a street in Northern Jerusalem with that identical name. Logic seems to imply that street was constructed in the ancient HAGAI VALLEY. Here is why?

A Jewish Site, in there OPENING STATEMENT, this Archeological Site said:

Quote:
Mount Moriah is the name of the elongated north-south stretch of land lying between Kidron Valley {to the south} and
"Hagai" Valley, {to the north}.

That Hagai Street, made international NEWS recently, as that was where most of the fighting went on, during the Recent Fighting in the Muslim Quarter. It is also the approximate location for north end of Mt. Moriah, about a mile northwest of the Dome of the ROCK.

But where is the Southern End ? ? ?

A the point in the SOUTHERN END of the CITY of DAVID! Like Paul Harvey used to say, Now you know . . . . . the rest of the Story.

Thinking of the Mt. Moriah, as a single peak, will only lead you to the WRONG CONCLUSION!

Who Knew! 174 Hagai Street, restaurant, would crack the dispute wide open that Mt. Mariah was not a Single Peak, by a RIDGE.
No, I would not go there, as trouble seems to brew in that neighborhood.

This really tickles my prophecy bone!
Last I heard, pre-covid, they believed that they were excavating the "actual foundations" of Herod's temple in the old city. However, because of political tensions, they had to be really quiet about it. Have you heard anything new?
