INFORMATIONAL: TEMPLE MOUNT TRUTH

Temple Mount Truth

24 February 2025: We know from Scripture, fulfilled and prophetic, the absolute truth about "the Rock" at the top of Mount Moriah, a/k/a Mount Zion (Isaiah 4:5), in Jerusalem, Israel. We should also know from Genesis 22:2 that the LORD God told Abraham to take his only begotten son Isaac to the land of Moriah, Moriyah meaning "Chosen by Yah," to offer him there as a burnt offering on one of its mountains. Isaac's sacrifice was aborted by God and a ram was substituted instead. 

A thousand years later God led Solomon to the tabernacle of meeting in Gibeon, the same tabernacle which Moses had prepared in the wilderness. Solomon brought with him thousands of all Israel as well as the "ark of God" which he brought with him from its tent in Jerusalem. It was here that very night when God appeared before Solomon and asked what he wanted. Solomon asked for wisdom and knowledge, and God gave him both plus riches, wealth and honor such as no king had possessed before or since. Solomon returned to Jerusalem and commenced to build the temple for the name of the Lord which the Lord had led him to do. Solomon's Temple stood over the rock until the armies of Babylon destroyed it in 586 BC and took Israel into captivity for 70 years because of their sins. In 516 BC the second temple was build and then expanded upon by Herod in 12 BC. This temple was destroyed in 70 AD. As prophesied by the Lord Jesus Christ in His Olivet Discourse not one stone was left standing upon another.

Fast forward to 692 AD and the Muslims built the Dome of the Rock over the same rock that Abraham was to offer Isaac as a sacrifice, as well as being the location within the Temple's known as the Holy of Holies. As stated initially here, we know this from God-breathed Scripture. 

This brings us to the Supreme Moslem Council produced pamphlet, "A Brief Guide to Al-Haram Al-Sharif," (best transliterated as The August Sanctuary) a copy of which I have and whose cover is seen above as it appeared in its first printing dated one-hundred years ago in 1924 AD. This pamphlet is essentially a very detailed Muslim tourism guide for the approximately 36 square acres of the Temple Mount area on Mount Moriah (i.e. Chosen by Yah). It was remarkably approved for publication by Haj Amin al-Husseini, a virulent anti-Zionist imam, a leader of the Arab riots in 1921 who massacred Jews and Muslims alike and was a close ally of Adolf Hitler during WWII. In him we see our present-day HAMAS, Hezbollah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. 

Nevertheless, his approval for the publication of this pamphlet was essential. Its text states the following concerning the entire Temple Mount: (emphasis added)

"The site is one of the oldest in the world. Its sanctity dates from the earliest (perhaps pre-historic) times. It's identity with the site of Solomon's Temple is beyond dispute. This, too, is the spot, according to universal belief, on which 'David built there an altar unto the Lord and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.' 2 Samuel XXIV, 25" (2 Samuel 24:25)

So much for the espoused "Palestinian" claims of nearly a century to the Temple Mount and Islamic edifices standing upon it.

 Marana'tha!
