Using maps created in 1866 by a British explorer and passages from the Jewish Mishnah, an Israeli archaeologist and professor at Hebrew University says he has pinpointed the location of the sacred Jewish Temple, twice built and twice destroyed in ancient times.

Good! Now destroy the Dome of the Rock and Al Asqa mosques immediately, and rebuild the temple!

The Jews are forbidden from destroying other faith’s places of worship.

OTOH, I wouldn’t be the slightest bit surprised if one of Ahm-a-dim-nut-job’s missiles polishes the al aqsa mosque off the temple mount.

Most of them are insulted by being called muhammadams, so that is what I have begun calling them.

Exactly.

And if they get all bent out of shape point out that nully says:

Real Prophets climb mountains to be closer to God.
They don’t crawl into caves to listen to the hissings of The Serpent.

To: Hebrews 11:6
If the rock, which Abraham is thought to have tied Isaac on, were inside the Temple, surely that would have been mentioned in the Bible's very detailed descriptions of the Temple and its contents. It was not.

That may be, but AFAIK it isn't critical to a correct interpretation of bible prophecy whether it is or not. Mt Moriah was of course where Abraham offered Issac for a sacrifice but was stopped by God before the knife fell, and I think the Temple Mount has definitely been identified as that same mountain, or more accurately hill. The bible tells us that Jesus will descend to that mountain when he returns to earth as King to rule Israel as David's heir, and to reign over all the earth as Israel's Messiah.

It also foretells that when his feet touch the mountain it will split and one half will shift to the south and the other to the north, opening a waterway from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. That seems to be such a unrealistic prediction that many prophecy "experts" fail to mention it, but I believe that if God foretold it it will come to pass. After all, a crucified man rising from the dead after 3 days in a grave also seems extremely unrealistic but I have no problem with that fact either. We're talking about an infinitely intelligent, infinitely powerful, omniscient Creator God here, not that drug induced vision of a cruel, vindictive "god" who was created in the demented mind of an Arab pedophile in a desert cave 14 centuries ago .

I don't get upset over new archaeological "finds" and "new information" that claims to disprove the bible accounts of the past and/or prophecies of the future. Whatever future scenario the bible actually foretells, as opposed to what some claim it foretells, WILL come to be reality all in good time, and no one but the Father knows the time when those events will occur.

to hell with the f’n pali muzzie terrorists!!!!

No problem there, their final place of residence has already been prepared and is just waiting for them to arrive.

They could still avoid that fate by rejecting pagan demon worship and accepting Christ, but the chances of that happening are next to nil for the vast majority of them. But I do know of one who did exactly that, his name is Walid Shoebat and he has a website HERE

Further making my point: the article portrays nothing surprising or significant.

Truly this is a miracle. Proves that God gaved the land of Isreal to the Jewish people and the Muslims have no claim to the land.

Or they go out into the desert to listen to the voice of God, a true prophet.

How about hiring the Hindus? They have long experience in turning mosques into rubble.

"I hope they rebuild it soon!"

If you believe that any act of man can precipitate the return of the Messiah you are as nutty as Amadinijad.

Doesn’t that diagram show the location cutting into where the Dome of the Rock is? It seems that the rectangle shape (Temple) transects that of the octagon (Mosque).
