I am trying something different, by seeing if I can use four different images, to find our how I perceive Josephus the First Century Historian as an EYE WITNESS. So before 70 A.D. destruction of Jerusalem Josephus tried to was seeing in and around Jerusalem.

1659417988340.png

No it is not Perfect, far from it. But Josephus said the distance between Fortress Antonia and the north outer wall of the Temple Complex was about a STADE, which is about 600 Feet. They built a duo Colonnade Bridges, so that Roman Soldiers could RUN to the Top of the outer Wall of the Temple Complex in case of a rebellious mob, ZEALOTS, wanted to start TROUBLE. And the TALL TOWER in the Southeast corner, was so Roman Guard could see down in the Courtyards. Josephus said he was an eyewitness to one such BATTLE in the center of the Colonnade Bridges, the Zealots were quickly defeated by the Romans. So I hope you will have a better idea of how it all went down.

I have never seen any drawing where the bridges were anywhere near 600 Feet long.
That wall below the Tall Tower would have extended to the Northeast corner of the Temple Complex.

I when back and made some improvements.

1659485521941.png

Most of this comes from JOSEPHUS the Historian.
The East Gate centralized on the East side (facing us) Josephus said it was all open doors on Feast Days. Josephus said he could see the CURTAIN of the Holy of Holies, while standing in East Gate.

Not sure where I read this, probably Josephus, but Next Gate is the Essene Gate. Not even sure why they were assigned a special gate, but maybe it was just a form of prejudice. Not sure where the others got there info from, but they had Essene Gate when you left the Essene community. The article I read said it was on the East side of the Temple, near the Northeast Corner.

This may have come from Josephus too, he said there was a single Colonnade on the east side too. No mention of it's construction style, so I used a hollow wall piece. It makes perfect sense to me, because on some of the Feast Days, if it rains, you may have to wait an hour or more just to get in.

Turn In the Garden area, with 6000 Solders who take care of it on rotating shifts, I imagine it was Beautiful. Stop at the first door on your Right. Stand facing West. Everything to your Left and below, is the JEWISH TEMPLE, and Ancient Jerusalem. YES that City of David was Ancient Jerusalem. AND to your Right inside the Walls (after they arrived) was Home for the Roman 10th Legion. A Legion is comprised of 6000 Troops, and 4000 Support Personnel. Even all the History books, say IT WAS A FULL LEGION, not a Cohort (480 Troops) as some think. Some very naive People think the when the "Commander of the Cohort", the rest were not there. ONLY ONE SHIFT is on Duty for the first 12 Shift, and you have two Cohorts for a Day.

QUOTE:
The Roman legion (Latin: legiō, [ˈɫɛɡioː]) was the largest military unit of the Roman army, composed of 5,200 infantry and 300 equites (cavalry) in the period of the Roman Republic
(509 BC–27 BC). PLUS TOP RANKING OFFICERS.
:END QUOTE.

I that third door, just to your right, is the entrance to the Stable for 10th Legion 300 equites (cavalry), and on the Floor above the Horses was the Officer of the Day or Night ready for any emergency, with 480 Troop at his disposal. Other space on the second floor were barracks for officers, and high ranking NCO's. Tents were on the third floors were quarters for all the rest of Personnel.

Now at the end long sidewalk Southwest, is something I adlibbed, because from my Military experience, it was OBVIOUS that two Guard Tower should be there, and I am convinced they HAD TO BE THERE. NOBODY would want a few guards at the end of the Colonnades, in an emergency. Every military man knows there is advantage on the HIGH GROUND. I have never seen anyone has GUARD TOWERS at the end of the COLONNADES, BUT I AM 100% Positive, they had to be there.

When I was Stationed on Okinawa, we had a PROTEST MOB, TRY TO STORM THE GATE. I was not there, but I was thankful the tall Gate was there to slam shut on those Protest Mob.

Specifically Josephus mentioned a STADE in length. A Stade is a measurement and in GREEK, it is 600 FEET long. It is a little longer in English, 210 Yards Long. Some countries think it 590 Feet, so 600 feet, in GREEK, which Josephus also wrote in, is close enough for me. Most Images of the Colonnades only have it about 300 feet or less.

Now what was the make up of the Colonnades? TWO LEVELS ON EACH OF THE TWO LEVELS.
So even in the middle of the night, 480 divided by 4, you would have 120 Battle Hardened soldiers running at you on each of the 4 Colonnades pathways.

Here is part of the History of Jerusalem.

Quote:
Roman Jerusalem

In 37 BCE, Herod the Great captured Jerusalem after a forty-day siege, ending Hasmonean rule. Herod ruled the Province of Judea as a client-king of the Romans, rebuilt the Second Temple, upgraded the surrounding complex, and expanded the minting of coins to many denominations. Pliny the Elder, writing of Herod's achievements, called Jerusalem "the most famous by far of the Eastern cities and not only the cities of Judea." The Talmud comments that "He who has not seen the Temple of Herod has never seen a beautiful building in his life." And Tacitus wrote that "Jerusalem is the capital of the Jews. In it was a Temple possessing enormous riches."[24]


Sack of Jerusalem. Inside wall from the Arch of Titus, Rome. The Menorah from the Temple is seen being carried in the victory procession.
Herod also built Caesarea Maritima which replaced Jerusalem as the capital of the Roman province.[Note 5] In 6 CE, following Herod's death in 4 BCE, Judea and the city of Jerusalem came under direct Roman rule through Roman prefects, procurators, and legates (see List of Hasmonean and Herodian rulers). However, one of Herod's descendants was the last one to return to power as nominal king of Iudaea Province: Agrippa I (r. 41–44).

In 66 CE, the Jewish population rebelled against the Roman Empire in what is now known as the First Jewish–Roman War or Great Revolt. Roman legions under future emperor Titus reconquered and subsequently destroyed much of Jerusalem in 70 CE. Also the Second Temple was burnt and all that remained was the great external (retaining) walls supporting the esplanade on which the Temple had stood, a portion of which has become known as the Western Wall. Titus' victory is commemorated by the Arch of Titus in Rome. Agrippa II died c. 94 CE, which brought the Herodian dynasty to an end almost thirty years after the destruction of the Second Temple.
e. After the end of this revolt, Jews continued to live in Jerusalem in significant numbers,[citation needed] and were allowed to practice their religion, only if they paid the Jewish Tax.

Roman Aelia Capitolina
See also: Aelia Capitolina

Bar Kokhba Revolt coinage, silver shekel with the Jewish Temple facade and a rising star, surrounded by "Shimon" (obverse). The reverse shows a lulav and the words "To the, freedom of Jerusalem".
What is today known as the "Old City" {NO OLDER THAN 130 C.E. - CHRISTIAN ERA} was laid out by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century, when he began to rebuild Jerusalem as a pagan city. In 130, Hadrian visited the ruins of Jerusalem remaining after the First Jewish-Roman War of 66–73. He rebuilt the city, renaming it Aelia Capitolina in 135 CE. Hadrian placed the city's main Roman Forum at the junction of the main Cardo and Decumanus, now the location of the (smaller) Muristan. Hadrian built a large temple to Jupiter Capitolinus, which later became the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.[27] He placed restrictions on some Jewish practices, which caused a revolt led by Simon Bar Kokhba. Hadrian responded with overwhelming force, putting down the rebellion, killing as many as a half million Jews, and resettling the city as a Roman colonia. Jews were forbidden to enter the city but for a single day of the year, Tisha B'Av (the Ninth of Av), the fast day on which Jews mourn the destruction of both Temples. For the next two centuries, the city remained a relatively unimportant pagan Roman town.

That must mean there is no such thing as in modern OLD CITY where Christ actually walked. Old City could be nothing more than a case of mistaken Identity. HE WALKED IN THE CITY OF DAVID, which is Ancient Jerusalam.

An Idea just Popped in my head as I lay in bed this morning, and it may have been put there put there by GOD.

I think, it is the fastest way to prove it the TEMPLE MOUNT is not the Location of the TEMPLE, is this. Currently NO ONE CAN DIG on the Temple Mount. WHY? The Muslims know ISRAEL WANTS PROVE THE TEMPLE BELONGS UP THERE? Everyone is approaching this the Wrong way. Get someone like Bob Cornuke 1659709872580.png , to go to the Muslims, to explain he want to dig just the outer exposed Perimeter, one room wide. JUST to prove the Highest Ground of Mt. Moriah, was all once Fortress Antonia. Anything left in those second story rooms, had to be ROMAN in origin. Because the Roman Army were not allowed to spend money outside the Fortress. The motive for the second story dig for the Muslims, would be to gain exclusive rights to the highest ground on Mt. Moriah. I do not know, but there could be Roman remains in those rooms. If all the rooms you exposed had nothing but Roman remains, wouldn't that PROVE THE FORTRESS ANTONIA, idea, is a REALITY?

1659714839100.png

The Proposed Dig, would have the limits, no building would be disturbed, at least 10 feet wide, and the soil, bricks, and locks would be replaced in a timely manor. I am confident that it would be proven to be the home of the X LEGION. Surely the Romans left something behind? Something like 2nd floor Factory for Arrow making.

DID THE ROMAN ARMY HAVE ARCHERS IN THEIR LEGIONS?

QUOTE:
Although the armies of Rome were famous for their hard-hitting legionaries, they also
used a range of other troops. Cavalry, slingers, and light infantry all played their part.
Among them were the archers.

1659735147844.png . 1659735403608.png
Roman Auxiliaries
Roman archers were always drawn from the nation’s auxiliary units. Less highly trained and less respected than the legionaries, these men were not citizens of the empire. Instead, they were allies or people from conquered territory. They served the Romans for pay and the promise of citizenship when their work was completed.

Hence the difference was in the Uniforms. So YES, archers would have been there, and probably most of the Calvary would have been Archers. Even so, they too would have been under the Caesar's Rules, of NO BUYING OUTSIDE OF THE FORTRESS. So somebody had to be making arrows in the Fortress.

I know a lot about making arrows, as when I was 16, I made my own arrows before going Deer Hunting. WHY? Forgewood shafts were harder at the tip, made them more durable.

If you can get permission, you may find remnants of broken ones in the trash, in a shop on the second floor. So I would not be surprised if they can get Permission, they could find such a shop.

We are not to look for a temple in this world.

Joh 14: 1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

We are to look to heaven not this corrupt world.
Human effort is faulty and fails but Gods kingdom is perfect.

The Third Temple is for the JEWS. The Rapture happens just before or during the building of the Third Temple. The 144,000 are 12,000 from each tribe. WHY? There will be no survivors left in ISRAEL, due to WWIII, the Plagues from GOD's Wrath, and Satan's BEHEADING OF THOSE WHO REFUSE HIS MARK, EXCEPT the 144,000 who were sealed by the Holy Spirit. THAT WILL BE THE END OF SATAN'S RULE HE ON EARTH. WHY, DOES CHRIST WANT A REMNANT OF JEWS? To Repopulate ISRAEL, for the 1000 Year Kingdom of CHRIST here on earth. THEN CHRIST BUILD THEM A FOURTH TEMPLE, for the JEWS described in great detail Described in great detail in EZEKIAL. You should read it sometime.

YES, our time here on earth has jus about run it's Coarse. Maybe my new home will look like this one cable as the on the in the would of heaven on the Crystal River as it flows out back to the THRONE of GOD.

Could it be another trap, deception of satan to distract people from what is really important...

Take heed.... be prepared..
Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Mat 24: 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Mat 24: 42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.....
. 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Be watching and ready.

I think the 3rd temple is a distraction.

1Co 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

There TEMPLE ITSELF measures "threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits", according to 11 Chron. 3:3. That is what Ornan's Threshing Floor measured, 90 feet long, by 30 feet wide.

2 Chronicles 3:3 (HCSB)
3 These are Solomon’s foundations for building God’s temple: the length was 90 feet, and the width 30 feet.

There has NEVER been any thing that FLAT on that mountain, measured from he bedrock level, IT ALL FLOWS DOWN HILL FROM THE DOME OF THE ROCK. Mount Moriah was the Name of the entire RIDGE, (Not just one Mountain), from North of the Dome of the Rock, all the way South past the Pool of Siloam.

Look at the PRICE David Paid, and you will know it was ON BEDROCK, the THRESHING FLOOR OF ORNAN. People, especially the Jews, have forgotten those three facts.

1 Chronicles 21:18-30 (ASV)
18 Then the angel of Jehovah commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and rear an altar unto Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of Jehovah.
20 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons that were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
21 And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.
22
1 Chronicles 21:18-30 (ASV)
18 Then the angel of Jehovah commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and rear an altar unto Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
19 And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of Jehovah.
20 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons that were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
21 And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.
22 Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place of this threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar unto Jehovah: for the full price shalt thou give it me, that the plague may be stayed from the people. {David did not over pay for the floor.}
23 And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen for burnt-offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal-offering; I give it all.
24 And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for Jehovah, nor offer a burnt-offering without cost.
25 So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
26 And David built there an altar unto Jehovah, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon Jehovah; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering.
27 And Jehovah commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.
28 At that time, when David saw that Jehovah had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
29 For the tabernacle of Jehovah, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt-offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.
30 But David could not go before it to inquire of God; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of Jehovah.

1 Chronicles 21:25 (HCSB)
25 So David gave Ornan 15 pounds of gold for the plot. {So it was a fair price for a 3 ring Threshing Floor, on bedrock.}

1659829679071.png

So nowhere is the FLAT ENOUGH WITH ALL BEDROCK, on the Temple Mount However 600 Feet to the South is a lower HILL with a flat top, that IS THE RIGHT SIZE. MT. ZION is it's TRUE NAME. The Sanhedrin Voted in 1215 AD, to call the mountain to the southwest, by Mt. ZION real name, but yet another mistake.

Where the Jews went wrong, was this, was after 70 A.D., they were exiled for the most part for over a thousand years. They came back 1215 AD, with just vague hear say memories, expecting to know where everything was. They Totally forgot Ancient Jerusalem, was also the City of David, and then recently that truth was revealed by Archaeologists. Forgot where Mt. ZION WAS, Forgot the Mt. Moriah, was the name of the Whole Ridge, Forgot all of Jerusalem, was COMPLETELY TORN DOWN and a lot of the stones were used to build Roman pagan city of Aelia Capitolina, Forgot the ORDERS by Caesar were to tear down the City and the Walls. Forgot their hero Prince Simon bar Kokhba Wanted to rebuild the Third Temple, and ordered the removal of the Defiled Bedrock in 132 AD, that Temple to Jupiter sat on, etc., etc. So the Sanhedrin VOTED on every thing, and Voted more Wrongs than they did right. And proceeded to worship at the Western Wall, as part of the TEMPLE.

And what is Sad and a Shame is no one even bothered to walk to the next hill top South and Look Back at what you saw:

Something else I should have explained. NEVER has the highest Ground on the Temple Mount been a Forested Hill, and never has the slopes been Plowed like a field. WHY? You had to carry water up their, to Irrigate Your Crops. NO SPRING UP THERE. But you can manipulate the Gihon Spring, to become a Siphon Spring, and the exit hole is right on the OPHEL.


All of these trees were planted in recent Decades. In there Plant a Tree for a deceased love one, and I suspect their Alterative Motive was to make it look like JER. 26:18.

https://www.nationaljewishmemorialw...meone israel&utm_content=Memorial Tree Israel

Here is what it looked like in the early 1800s:

NO TREES AT ALL. AND in this early 1900s Photo, I see only 5 trees any where near the Temple Mount complex, and those are on the outskirts.


BUT THE HILL TOP, REMAINS TREELESS.

Do you Think GOD would call this a:
Jeremiah 26:18 (HCSB)
. . . the temple mount a forested hill.


Here is the REAL HILL, and NO ONE HAS EXCAVATED IT STILL.

As near as I got to figuring out where Warrens exits, is almost dead center of the Red Circle. No one took a Picture of it.

Last sentence above should read: As near as I got to figuring out where Warren's Shaft exits, is almost dead center of the Red Circle. No one took a Picture of it. For those who don't know what Warren's Shaft is. It is usually has 3 or more exit holes. If there is enough water Pressure, You can direct the water to exit at any exit hole you want. If all exit holes are open, it will only exit at the Bottom Hole. Plug the Bottom Hole and it will go the second hole up. Plug the Bottom hole, and the second hole, and it will automatically go to the Third Hole. Which was in or near the TEMPLE. Here is a diagram:

This tunnel floes Northwest up hill, from the the Gihon Springs all the way up in or near the Temple.
Apparently GOD made the Tunnel with two exit holes, and the Jews dug it out to the 3rd exit hole. Charles Warren from England, was the Discovering the TUNNEL. He got under the Shaft, and he LOOKED UP at the Ceiling and here is what he saw:

Why is it Critical for King Solomon, to have that, kind of Spring water for the TEMPLE. Spring Water is NECESSARY to Clean and Purify nearly everything in the TEMPLE, even the hands of the priests. Water from a Cistern is NOT CONSIDERED LIVING WATER. IT HAS TO BE SPRING WATER.

So you would have to find a Spring with a enough Water Pressure to DO THAT with, before You start the Building of the TEMPLE. That Type of Spring, is called a Siphon Spring. That Spring Shaft is wide enough for a man to climb up into the where it widens.

This is why I know that no one ever excavated there, or we would have dozens of picture of the exit hole. So I will expect the Archaeologist to find this soon. Could be covered over by brush or partially filled in with dirt.
