Book Description
The Temple Mount, located in Jerusalem, is the most sacred site in Judaism and the third-most sacred site in Islam, after Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia. The sacred nature of the site for both religions has made it one of the focal points of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Jewish Fundamentalism and the Temple Mount is an original and provocative study of the theological roots and historical circumstances that have given rise to the movement of the Temple Builders. Motti Inbari points to the Six Day War in 1967 as the watershed event: the Israeli victory in the war resurrected and intensified Temple-oriented messianic beliefs. Initially confined to relatively limited circles, more recent "land for peace" negotiations between Israel and its Arab neighbors have created theological shock waves, enabling some of the ideas of Temple Mount activists to gain wider public acceptance. Inbari also examines cooperation between Third Temple groups in Israel and fundamentalist Christian circles in the United States, and explains how such cooperation is possible and in what ways it is manifested.

The Jewish Temple
Author: Robert Hayward
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134851936
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
Robert Hayward offers a careful analysis of surviving accounts of the Temple and its service. All the central texts are provided in translation, with a detailed commentary. While descriptions of the Temple and its service are available, discussions of the meaning of these things are less easily found. This study clearly illustrates how the Temple was seen as a meeting point between heaven and earth, its service being an earthly representation of heavenly reality. Jews regarded the Temple service therefore as having significance for the whole created world. The Jewish Temple offers a valuable collection of materials both for those looking for an introduction to the topic and for the scholar interested in grasping the meanings beyond those texts.

Jerusalem's Temple Mount
Author: Hershel Shanks
Publisher: Continuum
ISBN:
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
According to the Hebrew Bible, King Solomon built a Temple to the Lord in Jerusalem on a threshing floor that his father, King David, purchased from Araunah the Jebusite for 50 shekels of silver. "No other building of the ancient world," claims the Anchor Bible Dictionary, "either while it stood in Jerusalem or in the millennia since its final destruction has been the focus of so much attention throughout the ages." This stunning book, with its 160 illustrations, is a history of the Temple or Temples in Jerusalem from Solomon's time to the present. The book reads like an archaeological excavation, digging deeper and deeper at one site. Starting with a discussion of the Palestinian denial of a Jewish Temple, the book proceeds to explore the Islamic Dome of the Rock, the little-known Roman Temple of Jupiter, Herod's massive Temple Mount, the Temple built by the exiles returning from Babylon, and finally Solomon's Temple. With a lively and informative text to accompany the pictures, Jerusalem's Temple Mount is replete with archaeology, history, legends (Jewish, Christian, and Muslim), inscriptions, biblical interpretations, and forgeries.

Book Description
AN EXPLOSIVE AND DEFINITIVE NEW LOOK AT THE QUESTION OF EXACTLY WHERE THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM SHOULD BE REBUILT Endorsed by NEW YORK TIMES Bestselling Authors, JOSH D. MCDOWELL, JOEL RICHARDSON, and WILLIAM J. FEDERER With peace in the Middle East finally on the horizon, could it now be time to begin rebuilding the Jewish temple? Does your heart yearn to see prophecy fulfilled and the temple rebuilt? Is it possible to know for sure where the temple was located so that it can be? Are you willing to examine the case for the temple location, based on a thorough review of biblical and historical testimony, archaeological evidence, and logical inference and deduction? If so, then you can know with certainty where it was formerly located and that rebuilding the temple is now possible! In -The Temple Revealed you will: - discover biblical prophecies that have been unknowingly fulfilled right before our eyes; - unravel more than three thousand years of Temple Mount history; - explore the latest archaeological findings; - realize the prophetic and spiritual significance of the temple and why it's so important; - see exactly where the temple actually sat almost two thousand years ago; - understand a plan for how the temple could be rebuilt peacefully in our day; and much more . . . Prepare to be overwhelmed by the evidence that the temple location has been hiding in plain sight . . . Are you ready to engage in one of the most significant debates regarding Jerusalem? The issue revolves around the rebuilding of the Jewish temple, which has lain in ruins since AD 70 and which many would say is the next prophetic piece in Israel's restoration. Of course, that necessitates determining precisely where it should be located when it is rebuilt. In the pages of The Temple Revealed, the entire case is laid out, with the evidence to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the famed Golden Gate is the true eastern gate of the First and Second Temples and marks the east-west line of where the temple should be rebuilt. It is also shown that the Dome of the Spirits covers the remains of the threshing floor of Araunah, which gives us the precise location of the Holy of Holies of the temple. Using these two landmarks, which are validated using historic testimonies, recent and not-so-recent archaeological finds, logical deduction, and God's Word, we can now confidently proclaim the correct location to begin rebuilding the temple. Answering anything definitively about Jerusalem is like trying to untangle a knotted fishing line, but with a little patience and persistence, we can separate a lot of fact from fiction. Dr. Widener starts with the accounts recorded in the Bible and then uses historic testimony and archaeological evidence to discover the true location of the Jewish temple. Perhaps now, after almost two thousand years, the temple can be rebuilt, peacefully, in its proper location in the northern portion of the Temple Mount, which is free and clear of any obstructions that might otherwise prevent its immediate construction. Come embark on a journey to learn how close we really are to making history and seeing the fulfillment of God's prophetic Word!

The Temple
Author: Joshua Berman
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1608997766
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
When thinking of the ancient Temple of Jerusalem, one often conjures up images of animal sacrifice, pilgrimages to the Holy City on religious festivals, and the High Priest solemnly entering the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur. Indeed, each of these observances was a staple of Temple ritual, but it is easy to lose sight of the Temple as it impacted, and impacts, upon the daily life of Jews and their physical and spiritual responsibilities. Building the Temple is not merely one commandment of many; it cannot be examined in isolation. This volume shows how the Temple relates to the notions of Shabbat, the land of Israel, monarchy, Jewish independence and sovereignty, education, justice, covenant, Sinai, the garden of Eden, the Jewish relationship to the gentile world, and the very way the Jew relates to God. From a biblical viewpoint, the Temple is not only the central institution of the ideal Jewish society but also the central concept that binds and organizes all others. The minutiae of the Temple as portrayed in the liturgy and in the Bible often seem tedious and overritualistic. Classical sources of all genres abound to explain a particular passage or a particular rite. This book identifies broad themes that animate the meaning of the Temple, its rites, and the biblical passages that describe it. Details are probed as a larger conceptual whole. Animal sacrifice, particularly problematic to many on moral grounds, is examined in a new and revealing light. Many Torah commandments stand unchanged for all time regardless of historical events. Not so the commandment to erect the Temple. Social, economic, political, and religious currents were integral to the Temple's construction, destruction, and reconstruction. By probing these currents from the Bible's perspective, one can gain insight into the meaning of the times in which we live; we are in a process of rebuilding, even though we are far from redemption.

Book Description
The Holy Temple in Jerusalem presents a magnificent review of the beauty and splendor of the Holy Temple when it stood in Jerusalem. The book provides a generous glimpse of the Temple's glory and honor, as well as an understanding of the Divine service that was performed there during the Festivals and all year round.
