EZEKIEL'S TEMPLE IS MILLENNIAL

I received an interesting email from a fellow post-tribulationist, Scott McPherson, whosuggested that the Abomination could occur on the northern end of the Temple sitedue to Isaiah 14:13. This verse (below) may not be referring to Satan, as most believe,but, like the rest of the text around it, it may concern the anti-Christ -- the "king ofBabylon." It's difficult to know whether or not the text alternates from the anti-Christto Satan, but see here what one of them speaks in his heart:

"I will go up to the heavens; above the stars of God I will raise mythrone. And I will sit on the mount of meeting, in the sides of thenorth...I will be likened to the Most High God" (Isa. 14:13).

Scott views the "mount of meeting" as the end-time Jewish sanctuary. And because wesee the subject desiring not only to "sit" in that place, but to become like God, Scottcame to the conclusion that the apostle Paul was speaking on this very verse whendiscussing the anti-Christsitting in the Temple and proclaiming himself to be (a) God.

Scott is unsure of whether or not there will be an operational Temple in the tribulationperiod. Personally, I don't think there will be, even in the face of Paul's flat statementto the contrary. I think that Paul had imagined a Temple building when reading"sanctuary" in Daniel, and perhaps also when reading "mount of meeting" in Isaiah.

And I think that the Holy Spirit led him to use the Greek word for "Temple" that doesnot necessarily refer to a building, but that the alternative word for Temple, whichrefers specifically to a building, was wrongly slipped into copies of the Thessalonianepistle after Paul's death, not insidiously, but because everyone who copied the epistlewould have likewise imagined a building...having no idea that the modern situationwould transpire, with a secular Israeli government, an Arab East Jerusalem, and aMuslim shrine on the Temple Mount.

Scott's intriguing theory is that the anti-Christ could place the Abomination on anorthern section of the end-time sanctuary, instead of the Western-Wall sanctuary. Healso pointed out a line from Psalm 48:2, "...beautiful...is Mount Zion, on the sides of

the north," that not only serves indirectly to equate the "mount of meeting" withJerusalem, but also reveals the land on the north side of the city as being prime in thesight of God. And we can suspect that Satan/Anti-Christ, by reading Scripture, cameto know that the northern sides would be prime, explaining his desires to have them ashis own seat of power.

I was amazed with Scott's theory because it had never dawned on me, the reason beingthat the NIV Bible which I had been using does not use "sides of the north," butinstead uses, "utmost heights," a very bad translation indeed. In fact, the NIV is sobad at times that I try to check with my interlinear as often as is important. Everyone

should have an interlinear. All scripture quotes presented in this book are interlinearderivations.

I don't think that anyone has any particular argument against the equating of theMount of Meeting with Jerusalem. The same Hebrew word for "meeting" is used inIsaiah 33:20: "Behold, Zion, the city of our appointed meetings" (Isaiah 33:20). Butit's not the city as a whole that acts as the meeting place, but the Temple site. And

because the northern sides of Jerusalem are raised above all other sides in Psalm 48,one could get the distinct impression that the Temple Mount will be on the northernside of Jerusalem. Yet the current Temple Mount is on the east and south of the City.

But not in the future! In Ezekiel 48, the Millennial City's northern reaches are exposedas prime land. Yes, and while some just won't accept it, the Millennial Sanctuary andMeeting Place will bea few miles north of the Millennial City! That is, the EzekielTemple won't be "downtown," which makes much sense when one thinks about it.

The Temple building will be in prime land reserved for the Zadokite priests -- landthat's about eight miles long east-to-west, and three miles north-to-south (25,000 x

10,000 cubits). This northern section is called by these titles: "the holy of theland" (45:4); "the holy high offering (48:10), and at times more simply, "the highoffering." The entire Square of 25,000 cubits x 25,000 cubits is also called the "highoffering" (48:8). The Zadokite allotment is to be located in the midst of this Square.(By the way, I am assuming that the measurements are in cubits, but the Hebrew textdoes not mention which particular units when it comes to this parcel of land. The KingJames Version assumed in two places (45:1 and 48:8) that the Square is to bemeasured in reeds).

How interesting is it that Arafat is trying to take this very region, and more, as his ownseat of power in the so-called "land-for-peace deal"? But don't suppose that Arafat isthe anti-Christ as a result. He's much too old...by 2010, he won't be in power anymore.If George Bush convinces the Israelis to give these northern sides to the Palestinians inthe so-called "roadmap to peace," do you think that God will approve?

The Temple is said to be in the "midst" of the Zadokite allotment, but there is aquestion as to whether this "midst" refers to 1) the very core of the Allotment; 2)centralized east-to-west upon the northern border; or 3) centralized east-to-west uponthe southern border. But in all three cases, the Temple will be north of the MillennialCity by some distance because the City is to the south of the Zadokite Allotment(48:15). Unless we can discover which is true, either 1), 2), or 3), we can't determinethe distance from City to Temple. The maximum distance to the Millennial Templefrom the north edge of the City, 10,000 cubits, would be due to 2). That distance is

equal to 3.3 miles. If 1) is true, then the Temple would be just half that distance, orabout 1.65 miles, from the north edge of the City. And if 3) is true, then the Templewould be adjacent to the north edge of the City. But in no case would the MillennialTemple be situated on the present Temple Mount because that Mount is south ofwhere the northern edge of the Millennial City will be situated. That the MillennialCity will be located where the Old City is now can be proven by Zechariah 14:10,where the Millennial City is associated with three gates of Old-Testament Jerusalemas well as its tower of Hananeel.

It seems, therefore, that "sides of the north," referring to the northern reaches of the




3/9

Millennial City, refers specifically to the Zadokite Allotment, which makes absolutesense in that the Temple will be somewhere within that Allotment.

I should say that, in 2002, when I first wrote this chapter, I was of the impression thatthe Zadokite Allotment was at the very north of the Square, wherefore I had suspectedthe Millennial Temple to be anywhere between 3.3 and 6.6 miles north of the Old City.But now, in 2004, after a second study of the matter, I see that the Zadokite Allotment

will be central within the Square, sandwiched between the Levite Allotment at thenorth and the City Allotment at the south. For, 48:18 tells us that the City Allotmentwill run alongside the Zadokite Allotment, in that this allotment is in that text calledthe "High Holy Offering," a phrase that specifically implies the Zadokite Allotment.And that's why I now seek the Temple Hill at a maximum of 3.3 miles north of thepresent Old City.

For those who want to get into this, let me explain further. The 6.6-mile stretch of landis from the northern edge of the Millennial City to the northern border of the Square.That Square consists on its southern flank of a 25,000 x 5,000 cubit allotmentdesignated for the City (the City itself is only 5,000 x 5,000 cubits). To the north of the

25,000 x 5,000 City Allotment is the 25,000 x 10,000 Zadokite Allotment, and to thenorth of the Zadokite Allotment is the Levite Allotment, also 25,000 x 10,000 cubits.Thus, the whole is 25,000 x 25,000. The 5,000 x 5,000 City, at the Square's extremesouthern boundary, is centralized between the east-to-west 25,000-cubit span (Ezekiel48:15). Therefore, and this is important, if we draw a north-south line running downthe middle of the Square, it will also run through the middle of the City. The Temple,within the Zadokite Allotment, should also be on this central north-south line, becauseit is said to be in the midst of the Zadokite Allotment.

Note from Isaiah 10 that the anti-Christ will stop at ancient Nob (in/near modernShufat) and shake his fist at the Temple Mount from there. Nob was/is in the ZadokiteAllotment, some two to three miles north of the present Temple Mount! This does

suggest that the anti-Christ will come to sit in the sides of the north, perhaps meaningthat he will set up his military headquarters there...perhaps with a will to stay i.e. tomake the present Jerusalem his capital from where he can act as God permanently!

Is the Abomination of Desolation the setting up of an anti-Christheadquarters/government in or around Nob...instead of the trampling of the presentTemple Mount? Is Nob where he plans and carries out a revolt leading to thedesolation of the Old City (this is a very compelling view)? Are the "sides of thenorth" equivalent to Daniel's "edge" (9:27) upon which the Abomination is to beplaced (note that the Hebrew word for "sides" is not the same Hebrew word as"Daniel's "edge"). Alas, Daniel's "edge" seems very much to be referring to the

present Temple Mount and not to the north of the Old City. How so? For one, in thethree places where the Abomination is referred to (9:27, 11:31, 12:11), it is alwaysaccompanied by the abolishment of regular offerings. It is hard to conceive of theseofferings taking place somewhere north of the City, in what is now Arab East-Jerusalem. Moreover, in Daniel 8:11, where we see a fourth instance of abolishedofferings, "abomination" is a missing term. Yet the text substitutes with, "...and theplace of His sanctuary was cast down." This is some very strong indication that theAbomination can be defined as the trampling of the sanctuary...wherefore Daniel's"edge" (9:27) wouldnot refer to an area outside of the present sanctuary.

On the other hand, it is possible that the Jews will succeed in building a new Temple,or at least start its construction, to the north of the present City. The Abominationcould then occur in the "sides of the north." But I do not believe that God will allowthe Ezekiel Temple...a 1,000-year Memorial to the Cross of Jesus Christ...to beprofaned and destroyed by the anti-Christ. Thus, I do not tend to believe that theTemple will be built in the great-tribulation period. Then again, what the Jews on thisside of Armageddon attempt to build as the Ezekiel Temple is not necessarily going to

be the ultimate Millennial Temple.

If the hills north of Jerusalem all look a little less glorious than the Tropics now,remember that God has promised abundant Millennial rainfall on certain parts of thecountry...this holy part definitely being one of them. Ezekiel himself (33:28 inconjunction with 36:35) informs us that the Judean hills will become transformedfrom desolation to the Garden of Eden (whereas deserts will yet remain in other placesof the nation).

The rains will be so abundant that a source of underground water below the EzekielTemple will reach the Dead Sea with the result of freshening up its salt water around

the mouth of the river. Dead-Sea water level has decreased for millennia because therate of water leaving through evaporation is greater than the rainwaterwashing/seeping into it, for which reason the sea has become saltier with every passingcentury, saltier than any other sea on earth. You could imagine that immediately afterthe Great Flood (of Noah), the Dead sea was about 10 times more voluminous, havinga northern shore at the Jezreel Valley.

Zechariah 14:10 supports Ezekiel, and is more specific, telling us that the land from"Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem," will be desolated in the tribulationperiod...i.e. made like the "Arabah"...but will then be raised up afterwards (not raisedphysically, but in the sense of sanctified), suggesting that the northern hill countrynorthward from Jerusalem all the way to Geba (modern Al-Jaba) will be blessed.

While the northern border of the Square will be 6.6 miles north of Jerusalem, Gebahappens to be 6 miles north of Jerusalem. Thus, Zechariah is telling us that the "sidesof the north" will bloom in their entirety, even all the way to Rimmon, south of OldJerusalem (we don't know where Rimon was). See modern Map 1 of East Jerusalem..

The outer wall surrounding the Ezekiel Temple is entered by my Hebrew interlinear,not to mention the Septuagint, to be 500 "reeds" square (42:20), where one reed is saidto be six royal cubits long (Ezekiel 40:5). The Hebrew text doesn't give the units,whether cubits or reeds, and the NIV uses 500 "cubits" instead. Although I at firstthought this to be incorrect because I had read 45:2 to mean that the Temple would be500 cubits square, I later found that the Temple would be just 100 cubits square

(41:13), meaning that 45:2 speaks on a 500-cubit square wall surrounding the Temple.I apologize to all readers who were confounded or misled by that mistake. I think Inow have it right. While the Temple area has only three gates in it's walls (a north,south and east gate -- no west gate), there must be another set of Temple walls simplybecause we see four walls with 12 gates, three on each wall (48:31). The outer set isfound in 48:33, each wall being 4500 cubits long...significantly larger than a one-milesquare, and amounting to 2.2 square miles.

The present Old City of Jerusalem is only 1/3 of a square mile (its Temple Mount is yetsmaller, about 1/15 of a square mile) so that the as-is City could not house the outer




5/9

Millennial Temple wall. Moreover, the Millennial City is to be 4,500 cubits square(48:16) so that the Temple cannot be located within it...since the Temple walls arethemselves 4,500 cubits square. I do not think that we can equate these two sets ofwalls so that the City and the Temple area are one and the same area. I say the Templemust be located significantly north of the Millenial City, for reasons that follow.

THE LAY OF THE TEMPLE LAND

Certainly, if God is giving the dimensions of the Temple, we are not surprised to findthat He is revealing its location. Possibly having the purpose of revealing that theTemple will not be the location of the present Temple site, God brings Ezekiel on awading exercise. After 1,000 cubits, the river is only ankle deep; after 2,000 cubits it'sonly knee deep; after 3,000 (= about a mile) it's still only thigh deep. Then, at or justbefore 4,000 cubits, it turns into a deep and torrential flow that cannot be crossed.What this insight does is to tell of the lay of the Temple land. We already know fromthe prophet that the Temple will be built on a hill:

"On top of the mountain is all the [Temple's] border, round and

round, being most holy. Behold, this is the law of theTemple" (43:12).

The one-mile square wall surrounding the Temple is either 1) surrounding the peakalone (i.e. but not the rest of the hill), herein a Temple is situated at the peak, or 2)there's a Temple on one slope of the mountain with a wall at the hill's basesurrounding the entire mountain. In the latter case, the text should read, "upon thehill round and round" instead of "on top of the hill round and round." See thedifference? "Upon" allows the wall to be anywhere on the hill, not necessarily at thetop.

My view is that, while the River is shallow at first, it's alsofast-running, simplybecause the river runs down the hill upon which the Temple is built. Rivers on hills arenever deep (unless they enter a bottleneck). Keep in mind that the quantity comingfrom the underground-water source must be sufficient to create a deep and torrentialflow not far downstream...just 4,000 cubits away. As the river becomes knee deep after2/3 of a mile, it apparently starts to level out by this point, meaning that the river haspassed the base of the hill. The water can't be knee deep while running down asteepish hill, or Ezekiel would have fallen in. I therefore place the base of the hillbetween 1/3 and 2/3 of a mile from the Temple, so that the knee-deep section is on levelland beyond the base. As Ezekiel is able to wade in at thigh deep a third of a milefurther downstream, it is quite assured that the river current eases up significantlyalong this stretch, meaning that the land becomes almost level. There must be a highspot at the end of the thigh-deep area, keeping the water from becoming more shallow.In other words, the thigh-deep area is a basin.

Within a thousand cubits downstream from where the prophet is thigh deep, the rivermust go over the high spot and enter a ditchandbottle-neck situation in order for thewater to flow deep on the one hand, and fast enough on the other to make it impossiblefor a man to walk or swim across. Here is Ezekiel's report at the 4,000-cubit point:"...a torrent that I was not able to pass, for the water had risen, water to swim in, atorrent that could not be passed" (47:5). Then the Lord says to Ezekiel, "Have you




6/9

seen, son of man?", as if to say, perhaps, "Have you seen these clues revealing theidentity of the hill upon which to build"? Yet God had given other clues:

"Behold, water came out eastward from under the threshold ofthe temple. For the face of the house is east, and the water camedown...south of the altar" (47:1).

The Millennial Temple will face east and will therefore be built on the eastern slope ofthe mountain, for it wouldn't make a lot of sense to locate an east-facing Temple on thewestern slope so that it faces uphilltoward the peak. Nor would one face a Temple eastif the Temple is situated on the northern or southern slope. Possibly, the Temple couldbe on the south-east or north-east, however.

WHERE IS THE MILLENNIAL TEMPLE?

What strikes me is that Ezekiel does not give the positioning of the Temple, except tosay in 45:3 that it's in the 25,000 x 10,000 cubit Zadokite Allotment. I'm assuming thatit will be centered in the Allotment, at the 12,500-cubit point. I'm also assuming thatthe Temple will not be midway between the 10,000-cubit width, but rather that theTemple's north wall will be on the northern border of the Zadokite Allotment,touching the southern border of the Levite Allotment. I had once written in thischapter that the Temple was in the very center of the 3,000-cubit-square wallsurrounding the Temple, but this was my personal assumption rather than textualfact. I now allow the Temple to be at any location within the 3,000-cubic square.

The holy Spring, from which the River originates, will be on the north-to-south centerline of the Temple. From the north wall of the Millennial City, the maximum distanceto the Temple will be 3.3 miles, otherwise it will be beyond the Zadolite Allotment andinto the Levite Allotment. We don't have many choices when seeking to discover the

Hill. It shouldn't be very difficult for someone in Jerusalem with a good head on hisshoulders, but whether God will allow that Hill to be built upon on this side ofArmageddon is another story. There is some talk about building the Temple, now, tothe north of the present Temple Mount. Use Modern Map 1, and Modern Map 2 tofollow along.

There is a question as to whether waters from Ar-Ram hill run east to the Dead Sea orwest to the Mediterranean, or both, for the hill is very close to the Divide as far as Ican make out on topographical maps. A riding upon the very top of the Divide is acondition absolutely required of the Temple Hill:

And it shall be in that day, living waters shall go out fromJerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of themtoward the western sea, in summer and winter it shall be. AndYHWH shall be king over all of the earth in thatday..." (Zechariah 14:8-9)

Most rivers in this Jerusalem region, including the Brook Kidron, flow only when themajor rains come. But as the Lord will in the Millennium bring "the former and thelatter rains," the water tables in the ground will rise so that springs may flow




7/9

continually, "in summer and in winter." Of course, the spring waters cannot originateto the west or east of the Millennial Temple, where the land is lower, but will comefrom the north or south, wherever the land is higher (I don't have land-elevationinformation outside of Jerusalem).

The present Temple Mount atop the steep Kidron Valley does not match the Biblicalpicture very well. Even if underground waters should somehow be made to flow from

the Temple Mount in the Millennium, they can only head south via the Kidron Valleyand finally east to the Dead sea, but in no way west to the Mediterranean. Seetopographic map of Kidron/Himmon valleys (the solid black line is the Old City wall).I do not know for certain whether the two Zechariah rivers include Ezekiel's eastwardTemple river, but it certainly sounds like it in the phrase, "living waters."

The land south of the Tel el-Ful hill (on Modern Map 2) is strongly implied by Ezekielas being the Temple location, not just because Tel El-Ful is three miles north of OldJerusalem, but because waters may flow to the Dead Sea via the Wadi al Ghazal aswell as west to the Mediterranean via the Nahal Soreq. See also this topographic mapof the Hill Country where Tel el-Ful is marked, "Gabath Saulis." If that link is

inactive, see this smaller version of the map.

As the bird flies, the north wall of the present Old Jerusalem is 3,930 feet long; thewest wall 2,086 feet; the south wall 3245 feet; and the east wall 2,754 feet. The 5,000-cubit Millennial Jerusalem, when converted into feet, is roughly 8,750 feet square, or a1.66-mile square (area is 2.75 square miles), almost ten times larger in area than OldJerusalem (.3 square miles). Therefore, the boundaries of Millennial Jerusalem will besituated significantly beyond the present walls of Old Jerusalem. Biblical indication ofthis is in Jeremiah 31, where it speaks of that Millennial City:

"And the whole of the valley of dead bodies, and the ashes, and all

the fields to brook Kidron, to the east of the Horse-Gate corner,will be holy to YHWH" (v 40).

The valley of dead bodies and ashes is the Valley of Hinnom...the Old-Testamentgarbage dump and grave site. As for the Horse Gate, it was near the south-easterncorner of the present Temple site overlooking the Kidron Valley. But do note that theJeremiah quote gives us a very valuable piece of information, that the Millennial Citywill have the Brook Kidron as its eastern border.

Of the north and south borders of the Millennial City, Zechariah says: "from theTower of Hananeel to the king's winepresses" (14:10). Jeremiah 31:38 also indicatesthe Tower of Hananeel as a border of Millennial Jerusalem, a tower said by modernscholars to have been on the north wall of the ancient City. I agree, since the wall-repairing account of Nehemiah starts at the Sheep Gate on the north-east and workscounter-clockwise along the northern wall. The good news is that the north wall of theancient City was equivalent to the north wall of the present Temple Mount (to bedistinguished from the present north wall of the Old City).

It appears, then, that God through the prophets is informing us that the MillennialCity will have the northern wall of the present Temple Mount as it's northernboundary, and the "king's winepresses" as the southern boundary. For my




8/9

conclusions on the ancient walls, see Gates.

Most archaeologists locate the king's winepresses near the King's Gardens, the latterbeing at the junction of the Hinnom and Kidron valleys 2950 feet (source, Britannica)south of the south-east corner of the Old City. However, the distance from the Towerof Hananeel to the junction of these valleys is not 1.65 miles (i.e. the width of theMillennial City), but only about half that distance, or 4,450 feet (just under a mile).

And so the region of the king's vineyards should perhaps include a stretch of about .75of a mile southward of the Hinnom-Kidron junction. Jeremiah's "field's of the brookKidron" (31:40) could be indicating this southern extremity.

If it's true that the Millennial City will have the Brook Kidron as the east boundary,the western boundary, 1.66 miles away, will be virtually where the Knesset (IsraeliParliament building) now stands. The Millennial north-south center line is therebydiscovered, being just half of 1.66 miles, or about 4,400 feet westward of the easternboundary. That gets us almost to the King David Hotel beyond the upper elevations ofthe Hinnon Valley. Therefore, it appears that half of the Millennial City will be, asnever before, west of the Hinnon Valley, and reaching Mount Gareb, for Jeremiah

said, "...the city will be built to YHWH, from Tower of Hananeel to the Corner Gate,and the measuring line will yet go neged [the Corner Gate] to the hill Gareb, and turntoward Goath" (31:38-39).

The key here is the Hebrew word "neged" (#5048) defined in Strong's as "a front i.e.part opposite." It sounds as though a straight line westward, following along the northwall from the Tower of Hananeel to the Corner Gate, must continue straight west(without turning at the Corner Gate) andbeyondthe Corner gate to MountGareb...before the north wall turns south (to Goath). Therefore, this my view locatesGareb west of the (north-west) Corner Gate. The alternative view is that "neged"requires a different direction beginning at the Corner gate, so that Gareb is either toits north or south. As it's quite apparent that we are following the north Millenial wall

to begin with, we can rule out a northward turn to Gareb. That leaves only asouthward turn as an option, which would then identify mount Gareb as the south-western corner of the Millenial city. If this does not fit the geography, then mountGareb must be due west of the Corner Gate.

See Gareb marked on this map of Jerusalem's seven hills. It's been located to thenorth of the Corner Gate (gate not shown but is between what is marked Zion andAcra). I tend to think that this map is incorrect because I do not see (from theJermeiah quote above) how Gareb can be to the north of the Old City. I cannot findany online article locating Gareb while giving a reason that is outside the scope ofJeremiah's statement. Moreover, I have found articles flatly stating that no one knows

where the hill was located. The following quote from this Adobe publication (page 198)shows how the error is made that locates Gareb to the north of the old northern wall.

"The first of these two verses [Jeremiah 31:38-39, same as quoted above],as we have already seen, marked the northern enclosue of the old city; andwe must evidently seek the hills of Gareb and Goath, outside the oldenclosure, and over against it; consequently to the north if it."

As you can see, the writer defines "neged" as "over against it," and then assumes aturn north from the Corner Gate. But I argue that one cannot turn north so as to have




9/9

a part of the Millennial city north of what will be the north Millenial wall, for I havefound that the old north wall in Jeremiah's quote will also be the north Millenial wall.The writer of the quote above does not, apparently, know this.

The Millennial north-to-south center line, the line on which the Ezekiel Temple mayvery well be built, is located on the west side of the main north-south highway. Ar-Ram may qualify as being on that line, and the elevation to its west, marked "Atarot

Industrial Zone" (Modern Map 2) does better yet, but both locations are too far northto become the Millennial-Temple hill. The Jewish settlement of Ramot (see ModernMap 1) is too far west because it is on the west side of the Soreq river...so that it'simpossible to have waters from Ramot flow east to the Dead sea.

According to the Columbia Encyclopedia, Tell El-Ful (Modern Map 2) is 4.8kilometers north of Old Jerusalem -- exactly 3 miles. If, on the other hand, the Templeis slated for thecore of the Zadokite allotment (i.e. not on its northern border), theTemple will be found about 1.65 miles north of the north wall of the present Templesite. Interestingly, the Rawabi river, flowing east to the Dead sea, is found at thatdistance, running into French Hill (Modern Map 1) smack on the Nablis Highway.

Due west of French Hill and connected to it is Ramot Eshkol (not to be confused withRekhes Shuafat just to the north). Ramot Eshkol is, according to my measuredcalculations on a Britannica map, about 1.65 miles north of the Temple Mount'snorthern wall! I cannot tell on maps that I have at my disposal if water from RamotEshkol can actually find its way to the Rawabi river, or to any other riverbed leadingto the Dead sea.

Interestingly, Ramot Eshkol is on the border of West Jerusalem and therefore more-completely in the jurisdiction of the Jews. May we wonder if the Jews will attempt tobuild a Temple there, unobstructed by the Palestinians and other Muslims?
