Temple Mount, Dome of Rock, Real site over Gihon Spring
Dr. Ernest Martin accmulated 1,500 pages of Evidence the Temples were buildt 1000 FT South of the Dome of the Rock over the Gihon Spring, the only Natural Water source in the City of Jerusalem, Hundreds of sacrifices a day the blood would of been washed off the Alter and it would of run down into th ...[text shortened]... of FT Antonio, a Roman Fortress, the place where Pilate lived.

So the exact location of the Dome of the Rock is where the Temples stood, and exactly why it is the most sacred site of Judaism.

Originally posted by SuzianneThe fact is that where the Dome of the Rock is located fits more with a location within the Roman compound of Ft. Antonio where Pilate and his soldiers could keep a close eye on the activities of the people at the Jerusalem Temple. Besides there is a wall there with many stones on top of another called the wailing wall today, which would mean Jesus was wrong when he predicted the destruction of the temple by saying there would not be one stone left on another. And where is all the water up there used to wash all the blood away from all the animal sacrifices?

It is now clear to me that we have been lied to, just like Sunday is the Sabbath and Christmas is the birthday of Jesus. Wakeup.

Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers."
(John 4:21-23 NASB)

And I'm just guessing that the water used to wash away the blood of the sacrifices has the same source as the water used to cleanse people visiting the Temple. I'm not sure of the mechanics of that, but I've never visited the Temple Mount. The Temple was on the Temple Mount. That's why it's called the Temple Mount. The Jews had a long time to figure out the specifics.

But no, the simplest answer says that it is what it is. The Temple was on the Temple Mount. It was located where the Foundation Stone is, and that's for sure. This stone is where the "Holy of Holies" was in the Temple, where the Ark of the Covenant rested, a literal resting place for God in the Temple. This rock just so happens to be the same rock where Abraham was prepared to sacrifice Isaac. The same rock, according to Islam, where Mohammed ascended to Heaven accompanied by Gabriel. The Qu'ran states that this rock was the site of the Jewish Temples.

I forget the scale but it is very large.

His work was based on the works of Josephus (The Jewish War) However, there are many things that Josephus reported on as a first hand eye witness that Yonah did not consider... for whatever reason. And his model has come to be the accepted truth as to the history of Jerusalem.
The skeptics ask why? Have you watched the documentary?
