150,000 Arabs - But Not One Jew

Close to 150,000 Arabs visited the Temple Mount today for the first week of Ramadan-month prayers. Some 2,000 police officers were on hand to ensure public order, and in fact no incidents were reported. A Jewish man wearing an Arab headdress (kefiye) was arrested at the entrance to the Temple Mount; he said he was a Moslem who wished to pray there. The man is known for his previous attempts to pray on the Mount. The Temple Mount, the holiest Jewish site in the world, has been closed to Jewish worship for over two years.

Prof,

There were 2 Temples. Solomon's Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians and the Jews were exiled. 70 years later, they returned and started the construction of the Second Temple. The Temple Mount is the remains of the Second Temple.

but the second temple was completely destroyed by Titus according to the bible and josephus.

Antiochus Epiphanes, King of Syria, plunders the temple and offers a pig on the Temple altar. Daniel predicted Antiochus Epiphanes would be a type of Antichrist. Where Epiphanes defiled the temple by offering a pig on the altar, the real Antichrist will defile the Tribulation Temple by offering himself to be worshipped. (Dan 11:31) (2Thess 2:3)

70 AD

It'll be closer to 400,000 on the last Friday of Ramadan, which is the beginning of Chanukah. Bursting bulge? Buh bye Al Aqsa?

150,000 Arabs - But Not One Jew

It's a miracle!

[Soriety Sister]

the Jordanians engineers prepared a 36 page report and will repair the bulge

http://wordofmessiah.org/jordanian_report_on_wall.htm

The decision to let the Jordanians do to the work, which was made at a top-level meeting headed by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, follows repeated warnings by Israeli archaeologists that sections of the wall are in unequivocal danger of collapse, and comes just ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan when hundreds of thousands of Muslims are expected to flock to the site.

Kahhaleh said that the findings of the report were "not as dramatic" as the warnings voiced by many Israeli archaeologists and the Antiquities Authority, and voiced his readiness to carry out the needed renovation work at the site, pending his government's authorization.

Wouldn't that be astonishing!

[Soriety Sister]

some Rabbinic authorities have forbidden Jews from visiting the Temple Mount. not all rabbis agree. the reason that some authorities have made this proscription is to ensure that Jews do not approach the "Holy of Holies".

[Soriety Sister]

why? its been in need of repair for 30 years.

[billbears]

Temple mount bump

Lematha, indeed. A lot of pilgrims have passed though during that time. Certainly the Jordanians will be able to tinker with it.

[dennisw]

That's a lot of bull. That's the Jewish Temple that the Muslims have thieved and built some crappy buildings on top of.

Thank you for sourcing your porpganda to an agenda site that contains misiformation.

It ignores all historical evidence including Biblical, contemporary, and Roman accounts. It uses the fact that Jews are not allowed excavate Mt. Moriah as the basis of the claim that nothing can be found. Given the amount of artifacts recently dug up, destroyed, and thrown in garbage pits by the Waqf, I find the claim laughable, but for the matter at hand.

Here are some sights that give facts and history.
