The Islamic al-Awqaf department in Jerusalem have accused the Israeli authorities of being behind the collapse of an internal wall in al-Aqsa mosque yesterday after it had prevented its engineers form maintaining it.

The collapsed wall is situated near the Islamic museum on a hill in old Jerusalem where the mosque is situated. This wall is considered new in comparison to other parts of the mosque.

The director of the Islamic Awqaf in Jerusalem Adnan al-Husseini said that the wall collapsed as a result of "the Israeli intervention in our work and preventing us from maintaining it after we stated it was in an urgent need for a rapid action to prevent its collapse."

Good to hear from you.

Thought you'd be interested in the activity, related or not, on Temple Mount.

Have you been well?

The director of the Islamic Awqaf in Jerusalem Adnan al-Husseini said that the wall collapsed as a result of "the Israeli intervention in our work and preventing us from maintaining it after we stated it was in an urgent need for a rapid action to prevent its collapse."

The Muslims were excavating like hell, throwing everything out that might prove Jewish claims to have been there in earlier times. The Israelis were warning about the bulge in the Wall area, afraid that if the Muslims didn't do something it might even collapse on visitors. The Jordanians offered to come in and help, which was greated with loud cheers by the Israelis, to stop the nonsense.

If that ugly mess called Al Aqsa collapses, it will be due to all those idiot Muslims digging underground without any regard to basic engineering. And it's true that it will then be screamed from the Arab rooftops that the Israelis did it.

The Lord is taking good care of me. And thanks for the pings. While I'm un-enamored of the CalMinian Wars, I've always liked your selection of posts.

There are no "omens", though there are many known signs of the End Times.

I say this because, in the history of Mankind, there have been thousands upon thousands of published works containing predictions about the future, but only one work that has yet to err despite the many hundreds of predictions and prohecies contained in it.

That work is the inspired and perfect Word of God, The Holy Bible.

Calminian Wars will continue. I withdrew for about 4 months.

I don't really engage anymore. Just let most of it roll off.

But I remember you as a great defender of premillennialism and a solid bible scholar. Pop in every now and then.

Question: The chapter 12 Woman and then the ejection of Satan from heaven. What do you see as the sequence of events and do you see those as events in the 1st 3.5, the 2nd 3.5, or throughout the entire 7 years?

[Donna Lee Nardo]

That is what I thought as I was reading the article. This has been going on for a long time now. I heard that some Jordanian experts were charged with fixing the wall as well.

Let me reply later with a bit more thought than I can devote now. Might you freepmail me an email address and I'll give you one for me as well?

Isn't it around the corner, on the south side of that same mosque that the bulge has been a problem for a few years? Weren't the Jordanians going to fix that? That is what I thought had collapsed. I was suprised to see it was on the western side of the mosque.

[NeoCaveman]

You Know who is responsible for Astroturf!?!??!?!?
The Jews!

They are also responsible for static cling.

[ChewedGum]

Well, I know the mosque will go away somehow - because the Temple has to be rebuilt. The big question is how. Imploding in on itself due to architectural issues is a pretty benign way for it to happen, but it doesn't get the Muslims off the Temple Mount.

Out of 700 UN resolutions, 450 of them were against Israel? Unbelievable, with all the despotic regimes and terrorist states out there in the world. Why exactly do we continue to support the UN anyway?

I started to block out part of your reply #50 to paste here, until I had blocked out every word!

Fabulous summary. The irony is delicious. God does indeed have a sense of humor.

[Dead Dog]

Wasn't it Arial Sharon that said "If your going to have an entire people bent on your destruction, thank G_d they are Arabs"

[Bobby777]

the Third Temple will be built ... it is foretold ...

[Travis McGee]

I think that sentiment predates even Ari!

[Calpernia]

>>>>Impossible. Everybody knows that Bush is to blame (another one of his misleading failures)

[Naspino]

Thats hilarious.

[dglang]

You are correct, it is the southern wall that is buldging about halfway down. The collapse that just occured is at the top of the southern end of the WESTERN wall.

The southern wall is actually two parallel block walls filled inbetween by dirt and rubble. The Jordanians 'fixed' the buldge in the southern wall by pumping the void space between the two block walls full of cement which will place a greater load on the buldge and cause more internal erosion since the new concrete will now cause more run off and less absorbtion.

I find it very amusing. I have spent many a night on the computer staring at that ugly toad of a dome, squatting where it ought not, and praying for it to be removed. It tickles me pink to think the whole top of the place could go at any minute, and in my life time to boot, the icing on the cake, the cherry on the sundae, is the Pali's have no one to blame but themselves.

I always thought a well-misguided Iraqi scud might take it out...

But I'm confused now as to what walls are collapsed/bulged and their relation to the Dome of the Rock. Isn't the Dome of the Rock the building that occupies the Temple mount proper, near or over (depending on who's arguing) where the Temple ought to be? Whereas the building threatened by this collapse is a nearby museum, right?

Anybody gotta diagram showing where the wall problems are relative to the Dome of the Rock?
