Collapse reported on Temple Mount
Israel Today ^ | August 27, 2013

Posted on 08/28/2013 6:02:29 AM PDT by NYer

Eyewitnesses told Turkish media this week that a portion of the Temple Mount platform near the Al Aqsa Mosque has collapsed, creating a serious safety hazard and a possible threat to the stability of the Islamic structure.

If the report is accurate, it would be the second serious collapse on the Temple Mount in the past five years.

Palestinian officials claim that the collapses are caused by deliberate Israeli action to bring down the Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock so that the Jewish Temple can be rebuilt.

But archaeologists and engineers have been warning for years that the heavy construction projects being carried out by the Muslims atop the Temple Mount are destabilizing the huge number of ancient structures and water cisterns that riddle the sacred plateau.

Many believe it is only a matter of time before most of the platform collapses. And there are fears such a collapse could occur during Ramadan, when upwards of 100,000 Muslims gather atop the Temple Mount for weekly prayers.

The Muslims are creating structural instability by their foolish messing and destroying of antiquities. Full of hate and hubris, the Muslims in charge of the Temple Mount are nudging that mosque to fall.

For the False Prophet has two horns like a lamb (christian, small “c” on purpose) BUT speaks as a Dragon (Satan).

Hmmm.....very interesting. I will have to think about that one. Thanks.

They are engineering a provocation. The Muslim leaders want an incident they can use to whip up enthusiasm to attack Israel.

Google (or bing, if you wish) the words “farting, salah, farting while praying, make wudu, etc, and you will find PAGES of discussion. LOL.

This could be construed as a poison gas attack.

Obama is deeply saddened.

You’ll know if the Israelis are involved when you see them marching around the Rock seven times, blowing ram’s horns.

They have some excellent previous experience with that deconstruction technique.

It is a 1000 year old statue of Buddah that the Taliban blew up in Ahghanistan

Awww...that would be a shame.

"This is a big sign that we are in the end times!"

Nah, the Gospel has not yet been spread over the world.

=========================================================

That will happen during the 7 year tribulation:

Rev. 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

“...not one stone shall not stand upon another....”

Until the Western Wall also collapses, this prophecy remains yet to be fulfilled. (The Muzzies are diligently working on that little detail.)

That is one thing that the “fulfilled in 70 AD” theorists ignore; that was only a minor & partial fulfillment, but Titus by no means exhausted that prophecy.

“Nah, the Gospel has not yet been spread over the world.”

Aren’t we pretty close, though... with modern technology?

Such a fartwa could sheik things up a bit, as it would cause WAQF to pitch a fitna.
