..... Hi. I am studying the destruction of Solomon's
Temple
and I have a history question about why didn't the Temple
ever get rebuilt. I understand that the returners from the
Babylonian exile did not rebuild the temple. Why was it not
rebuilt after that, and why don't the Jews rebuild it today?
I also understand that there is a rock in the way. What is
that rock? Thank you for your
time.

Dear Katie, The Temple
WAS
rebuilt twice, first by the exiles (rather poorly)
and later by King Herod (rather beautifully)
See Solomon's
Temple and
Temple
Rebuilt and
Herod's
Temple
all at
www.wcie.net/bible.studies.htm.
... Here is a photo
of the rock. ..... If they tried to remove this
Muslim "Dome of the Rock" on the Temple Mount,
World War 3 might break out.
Thank you sooo
much!

...
I would like a picture of the
Temple or
Tabernacle as if you were
viewing it from the top. Would like to see the placement of
the furniture in more detail. Can you send me such a
picture? Thank you....In Christ..

Dear Katy, ...
THE HOLY PLACE
..... is a room with
no natural light. It contains three Supernatural
Mysteries whose meaning is revealed to us by the
Holy Spirit. These mysteries symbolize three
spiritual provisions available to any one who has
been to the ALTAR and to the LAVER. The seven -
branched Lampstand Ex 25: 31 - 40 represents
Supernatural Guidance from the Holy Spirit. The
Table of Bread Ex 25: 23 - 30 or Bread of Life
gives us Supernatural strength to carry out God's
will, The Altar of Incense Ex 27: 1 - 8 represents
Supernatural Prayer or praying in the Holy Spirit.
It must be remembered that
the majority of the Israelites were illiterate:
Writing was the area of expertise for a class
called Scribes. Further, the full meaning of the
Tabernacle requires the New Testament for its
interpretation. This is because the types of the
Tabernacle were only fulfilled in the life and
ministry of Jesus.
The entire Tabernacle was based on the realization
that the people were sinners, and needed an
atonement for their sins. When God looked down on
the Ten Commandments, the physical stones were
intact, but their teachings had been broken over
and over again by the people. This fact must be
hidden from the view of God. On the Annual great
Day of Atonement, the high priest went alone into
the Holy of Holies, carrying in a basin the blood
of a sacrificial bullock, which the priest
splattered onto the Lid of the Ark. Now, God sees
the blood, but not the broken law inside the
Ark.
This is the meaning John
the Baptist cried out to the people at the Jordan
River, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away
the sin of the world." On the Cross, the
sacrificial Blood of Jesus was shed making an
Atonement for the sins of believers in all time and
all places. The symbolism of the Tabernacle was
fulfilled at Calvary when Jesus cried, "It is
finished"

THE HOLY OF
HOLIES .... The
centerpiece of the Tabernacle was the Ark of the
Covenant, Ex 25: 8 - 22 a small gold plated wooden
box, approximately four feet long, and two feet
high and two feet wide, with a lid mde of solid
gold. Inside of this box were the Ten Commandments
engraved on two stones--the second set which was
given to Moses. Ex 34: 1 - 27 On each end of the
lid of the box was a carved wooden cherubim,
gold-plated. The cherubim faced each other forming
an empty triangular space above the Ark. Inside
this triangle was the space in which God was
understood to dwell. Despite all this material
representation of the truth, Moses and the Jewish
spiritual leaders knew that God was a Spirit, and
not to be represented in any material form ... Ward

.... Would you
happen to have an outline and sketch drawing of
the
Tabernacle
and its components? If so, would you mind
sending me the needed information. Thank you
very much. God bless.
Dear Michael, Here is the sketch of the
Tabernacle. ( the Holy Place and the Holy of
Holies )... The Tabernacle Outer Court ( fence
or screen ) measured 104 feet by 208 feet by 10
1/2 feet high. Just inside the entrance to the
Outer Court was the Brazen altar, after that,
the Laver.... More details at www.wcie.net/bible.studies.htm/sg18.htm

What were the dimensions of the veil
covering the entrance to the Holy of Holies in Herod's
Temple?
Dear David, The entrance was 10
cubits by 10 cubits so the curtain was 15 feet high and 15
feet high.
T .. Hi
i don't know if you'll have this info. but do you know
anything about the
destruction of the
temple
by the romans?
Dear Lisa, Beginning April, A.D.70, Forty Years to the
Week from the Crucifixion of Christ. The temple was burnt
August 10, A. D. 70, the exact same day and month on which
it had been burnt by the king of Babylon: Josephus, Ant.
b. xx. c. 11. s. 8.

In 66 A.D. the Jews rebelled against Roman rule.
In 70 A.D., after a 143 day siege which began at
Passover, a Roman military force consisting of
about 30,000 troops under the command of Titus
battered the walls and entered the city. They
destroyed everything, including Herod's Temple -
exactly as spoken by Jesus the Messiah 40 years
earlier. The population and the great number of
Passover visitors who had been trapped there were
brutally slaughtered, with an estimated 600,000
people killed.
The Roman army then moved over to Caesarea on
the coast of The
Mediterranean Sea where a great many more
were killed. Over 90,000 were taken captive,
including the historian
Flavius Josephus who
recorded the events in his Wars of The Jews. All
that remained was the defiant little garrison atop
Masada.

The Western (Wailing) Wall is all that remains
of the Jerusalem Temple where Jesus ministered.
This wall formed part of the Plaza within the
Temple area. King Herod's incredible remodeling
project began in 20 B.C. and continued long after
his death. It was finally completed only seven
years before the Romans came and destroyed the
Temple in 70 AD.

... I learned that Jesus at some point
walked through the desert for 40 days,
was tempted
by the devil and so forth. Do I
remember this right? and where in the Bible can I find it. I
used a german bible, too. is it different from the american
version.Thanks
Dear Alexandra. This can be found in the Synoptic
Gospels, Matthew 4:1-11, Mark 1:12-13 and Luke 4:1-13. The
German Bible should be the same .....hope this helps
T ....
How can Jesus sit at the right hand
of God if he is God? and how can God send us the gift of the
Holy Ghost if he is the Holy Ghost too? Who did Jesus talk
to when he said Father Forgive Them when he was on the
cross?
Dear Lynne, This is the
Trinity - Three in
one - UNITED IN PURPOSE. Jesus
was talking to God the Father. In history Rome was at times
ruled by a Triumvirate where three rulers ruled as one. This
is the best comparison I know of. To many this is a mystery
but I don't have that much difficulty understanding the
Trinity ... hope this helps,
T
...where do we get that our
tithes
due unto God are to be ten percent of our income?
Dear Joe, The one / tenth as
found in Heb 7:2 , Gen 28:22 and Lev 27:32 ... The purpose
of the tithe is to support God's Ministers and the Work of
God in general. Tithing was practiced by Abraham long before
the law of Moses was given to the Jews. While keeping the
ceremonial law as a means of obtaining righteousness was
done away with by the blood of Jesus, God's perfect
sacrificial Lamb, many excellent guidelines for living,
including the tithe remain. In Malachi 3:10 Gods says "Bring
ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be
meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith saith the Lord
of Host, if I will not open the windows of Heaven and pour
out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to
receive it". The law of the tithe works for believers and
unbelievers. The tithe belongs to the Lord not to us - see
Leviticus 27:30,32 . To sum up tithing is an excellent way
to support the work of God. Showing up at the house of God
and not paying God's tithe is the same as robbing God or
despising God to me. .See "
The Blessing of God".. hope this helps,
