There is a real problem being stirred up by the Arabs over the Temple Mount, and I for one think they are up to something no good. Perhaps I am just being paranoid, but the amount of smoke they are generating over this access ramp is far too much for the weight it will carry on its own.
A Little background would help what I am trying to say.
Remember back when the Rabbis of Jerusalem announced that they believed that the Arc of the Covenant was buried in the Temple Mount? Within three months we had Arafat tearing out the whole south western corner of the temple mount with a bulldozer and rock crusher. He claimed that he was just expanding the Mosque.
However, the "great expansion" project seems never to have been completed. A huge earthen ramp was dug, and then paved over with flag stones. But no great Mosque expansion seems to ever have been put in place. I chalked it up to the standard Muslim smoke and mirrors, as Arafat went on a treasure destruction hunt.
But during his little engineering foray he succeeded in pushing out the retaining walls that make up the temple mount. This was no easy achievement, as the stones are huge, and the walls are double thick as they are made hollow with a passage way between the walls. In order to push the outer walls out of place, he had to completely displace the inner walls so far as to push the outer ones out too. The damage he did digging behind the retaining wall with a bulldozer was not just limited to the walls. He caused structural damage to the Al Asque Mosque at the same time. It was reported in the newspapers that the dome of the mosque had cracked.
The Israeli’s closed the area right below the mosque at that time to tourist traffic for fear the mosque could collapse on the tourists.
Also two years ago there was an earthquake that cracked the golden dome mosque, the one made from an ancient Byzantine church. This mosque is not considered “holy”, it is the smaller silver domed mosque in the south west corner that is the religious shrine. The golden dome is just a political statement that Islam dominates over Christianity and Judaism. Written in the inside of the dome in Arabic is a statement that Allah is god, Mohammad is his messenger and that god had no son.
But the worship takes place not in there, but where Arafat was digging, in the silver domed Al Asque.
This is what is fishy: In the three years since the damage has been done to both mosques, the Arabs have built scaffolding around the gold domed mosque and spent many months repairing it. But they have NOT repaired the silver mosque! What they have done, for the last few years is claim that the Jews are secretly digging in the night to damage the mosque.
We know that Arafat did not replace the ancient drainage system after he dug up that area of the temple mount. And in fact, after his digging the water began to run during rains from under the walls of the temple mount and it was running brown as soil was being undermined by the rain. We also know that a retaining wall on the far side of the mosque from Arafat’s dig collapsed outward two years after he dug his huge hole. If that was caused by Arafat’s dig, he had to have displaced the entire mosque foundation.
Now suddenly, in the heavy rains of this season, the Arabs are claiming that the Jews are attacking the Al Asque Mosque because they are digging some holes to bedrock 75 yards away from the Mosque, and not even in the temple mount, but in the area outside the temple mount. And they are not just doing what has been the standard “secret Jewish plot stuff” but rioting in the city and calling for war. There are 2000 riot police camped in the old city right now and they have had to be there all week!
What if the Arabs are generating an excuse to start another all out war? What if they decided to let, or even help the mosque collapse after setting a track record of complaints to try to fix the blame on the Jews?
I smell something rotten in all this strong Arabic propaganda against the archeological dig being done by Israel. And I for one would not want to be a “worshiper” on the temple mount in the coming months. It would be just like the Muslims, to pull the mosque down on their congregation during prayers, for the glory of the martyrdom in the name of Jihad.
Hang on to your hats folks, I think things are about to get interesting.
Very interesting.
Well Temple Mount will be the center of a lot of interesting things in the coming years.
I agree. There is something very odd going on.
Oh, that's normal. That's just the worshipers.
Okay I'm putting on my tinfoil-hat... What if the Arabs try to get hold of the Ark!? If the Ark really is there, Israel should try everything to secure it. The Muslims also may want to place "Islamic Artefacts" there...
If they have found the Ark, and the Israelis knew about it, the tanks would be rolling as we speak.
SLimes outraged over something or other... Whoda thunkit?
Paging Indiana Jones!
"I smell something rotten on the Temple Mount..."
Just wait, it'll be absolutely rank and putrid in the years to come. The smell will become unbearable -- until it is cleaned up for good and all. These are marvelous times, folks. His will be done.
True that, American in Israel, true that....
I think you're right on that score.
More imporantly, to me, I don't think at this point in history, God would be kindly disposed to the opposition having the Ark.
We shall see.
I'm still incined to believe that Wyatt character. Just sounded like something God would do. . . . if he's right, then he told the officials where it was when he found it. And they all agreed it was not time yet and insured it was sealed up again under Golgatha.
Sure seems like lots of puzzle pieces are being moved into place for some major changes . . . and lots of blood in between.
The collapse of the wall supporting the mosque will be the trigger for action against Israel by the Palestinians, al-Queda, and the Iranians
Very astute observations, imho.
Memories . . . in the Western Wall courtyard on, what was it . . . Yom Kippor? 1973 . . .
masses of traditional Jews . . . one of whom pinched my fiancee--she told me later! LOL.
Have you read Wyatt's story? Lots of folks discredit him but I think it still sounds like something God would have done.
Hiding the Mercy seat under Golgathat . . . and the hole the central cross was in . . . cracked--evidently during the earthquake of the Crucifixion . . . and His Blood ran down through that crack onto THE MERCY SEAT hidden beneath it. Where it still is.
Still awes me and moves me just writing the above. Guess I still believe it regadless of whatever noise about Wyatt.
Yes, something atypical and designed to change things dramatically, imho.
Thx for your pings, BTW.
If you want on the
END TIMES/DREAMS/VISIONS/PROPHECY ping list, please let me know.
The rottenness of the islamic people is not surprising. In fact their whole religion is rotten and stinks up the world with its contamination,
I hope you have some 6,000,000 sun block.
No Arabs nor Muslims, nor Jews.
He will rule with a mighty hand.
