Dayan later explained that for Jews the site was just of historical interest while for Muslims it was an active and ongoing place of worship.
The Secular Establishment in Israel takes great pains to discourage any Jewish messianic fervor. With the recapture of the Temple Mount, they were afraid of the Jewish religion, not the Muslim religion.

That’s because the secular establishment likes living in Babylon (living like the world around them )
verses the other side that holds what their teachers wrote above the scriptures . The law and the prophets testify against both of them.
Both sides are guilty of looking to the nations to help instead of looking to their creator. Where are they looking for help ?
They are looking for a Cyrus but they are going to get an Antiochus . The time of Jacob’s trouble spoken of by Danielle is almost here.
Where does your help come from ?
Psa 121:2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
Neither side is seeking the truth yet
(Jeremiah 29:13) And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Who is their shield ?
2Sa_22:3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
(BTW the Hebrew word in that very verse is hamas )
More proof of who their shield is
Psa_28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
Psa_119:114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
Psa_144:2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
Israel is suffering from the same problem that they have always suffered from
(1 Samuel 8:5) And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
(1 Samuel 8:6) But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
(1 Samuel 8:7) And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
I see rabbis saying they want to build a house of worship for everyone to use . Did these rabbis miss the fact that God doesn’t lie , teach people to rape , teach people to covet what doesn’t belong to them ? Why would they want to share a worship space with the bael worshipers ?
(Psalms 92:15) To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
The fifth book of the Torah overall is a lesson in discernment , the difference between what is right and almost right .
God is about to turn his back towards Israel again , he has his name to protect .
(Ezekiel 36:21) But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.
(Ezekiel 36:22) Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name’s sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.
(Ezekiel 36:23) And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
(Ezekiel 36:24) For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
(Ezekiel 36:25) Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
(Ezekiel 36:26) A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
(Ezekiel 36:27) And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
(Ezekiel 36:28) And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Isaiah 53 is Israel’s national repentance .
Yes he is coming to save them when they cry out to him.
God is allowing this so they cry out to him.
Oh and the nations around are so screwed .
I wonder if, in retrospect, they would think differently now.
