JERUSALEM HISTORY & ARCHAEOLOGY SCHOLARLY QUIZ

************************

Would you check your real knowledge of Jerusalem History & Archaeology, with the following, very simple, Scholarly Quiz :
{ If you do not know the Answers (including Dan Bahat complex Question n°4 ) we can provide some below >>> }

*************************************************************

Question n°1 :

Why 98% of the reconstructions of the Herodian Temple by models, paintings, drawings, diagrams, etc (including those in Israel Museum) do not show the Priestly Annex building which was attached around and against the walls of the Temple, on its sides and at its back (in conformity with the sacred model of the Temple of Solomon) ?
- According to Flavius Josephus* and to Tractate Middoth** this Annex was 20 meters high (the Temple being 50 meters high) and 13 meters large : As the Temple was 10 meters large, this means that these Priestly Annexes on each side of the Temple, were larger than the Temple. –
* Flavius Josephus : Jewish historian of a Priestly family, and eyewitness of the destruction of the Herodian Temple by Titus.
** Tractate Middoth (Measures) of Qodachim Order (Holy Things) of the Mishnah describes and measures in details the architecture of the Herodian Temple.

***
Question n°2 :

Why Scholars, Rabbis, Archaeologists, Historians, Politicians, Professors, Encyclopedias, Wikipedias, Medias, etc, unanimously persist in the error to call the Temple of Herod “the second Temple”, and pretend that Herod had simply decorated and embellished an existing second Hasmonean Temple ?
- Although Flavius Josephus states very precisely that Herod did destroy completely (including its foundations) the second Temple which had been built by Zurubbabel and Yeshua on their return from exile in Babylonia, and which later had been embellished by the Hasmoneans.
Jewish Antiquities : 15 : 11 :
“So (after having demolished the whole Edifice) Herod removed all the old foundations, and laid others, and erected the Temple upon them.”
This total destruction of the second Temple is furthermore corroborated by Aggadic (legendary) accounts in the Talmud, as for example,
Talmud of Babylon : Order Neziqin : Tractate Baba Bathra : 3b :
“How could Baba ben Buta counsel Herod to demolish the Temple for the purpose of building a new one ? Was this not against the Law ?”...
And : (Baba ben Buta and Herod’s discussion about the demolition and rebuilding of the Temple :)
Baba ben Buta replied then to Herod :
“Send a Messenger to Rome for which it shall take a year until he shall reach there, and let him remain there a year, and his returning shall also take a year : and during these three years you can demolish this Temple and build a new one.” –
***
Therefore, Herod’s Temple was the third Temple of Jerusalem, and the next one will be the fourth Temple of Jerusalem.
***

Question n°3 :

Why did some Rabbis edict an “Halakha” (Religious Law) forbidding Jews to go where they (wrongly = see below) believe is their Temple Mount ?
On this, altogether sensitive and absurd problem, one should usefully recall the Travel Diary of Maimonides (Rambam: Rabbi Moisha ben Maimon) who is one of the main founders of the “Halakha” architecture)
Maimonides went to Jerusalem in 1165. It happened that, at that time, Jerusalem was a Christian Kingdom, and it appeared also that the Crusaders were more tolerant than the Muslims : Therefore the Jews were plainly allowed to come pray on what they believed to be their Temple Mount, and Maimonides could thus enjoy the bliss to pray on what he believed to be the Temple Mount.
Maimonides : Travel Diary Jerusalem –Hebron : 16 October 1165 :
“And I entered the Place of Great and Holy House, and prayed there on the fifth day of the week, the sixth day of the month Marchshwan.”
Furthermore, in his Code : Book of the Service of the Temple 30 , Maimonides indicates that it is a duty to go pray on the “Temple Mount”.
But, in Maimonides’ time, Muslims could not forbid Jews to come on the so called “Temple Mount” …
***

Question n°4 : ( this Question n°4 is in fact a complement to Question n °1 )

Why the drawings of the reconstruction of the Herodian Temple by Dan Bahat* and Leen Ritmeyer** do not show the Priestly Annex at the back of the Herodian Temple, whereas they show this same Priestly Annex on the sides of the Herodian Temple ?
* Dan Bahat : “Jerusalem Antiquities Official Expert”
** Leen Ritmeyer : “Temple Expert”
***

************************************************************

ANSWER 1 to Question n°1 :
This is the consequence of a deep ignorance of the Jewish essence which is often scholarly hidden by algorithmic erudition.

ANSWER 2 to Question n°2 :
This is the inevitable result of the ready-made lemmings (“moutons de Panurge”) twittered but well established Culture.

ANSWER 3 to Question n°3 :
These are the devastating effects of a millenial mental dhimmitude trapped in the absolute certitude of a scheming topographic mirage offered by a wrong “Temple Mount” (see a summarized explanation below).

ANSWER 4 to Question n°4 :
Dan Bahat is, inter alia, the author of the most renowned and successful reference “Illustrated Atlas of Jerusalem”.
This Atlas presents a rich abundance of drawings, maps, plans, diagrams, paintings, photographs, etc., in an effort to offer a visual demonstration, as exhaustive as possible, of Jerusalem History.
Now, you can search desperately this Jerusalem Atlas, you will not find a single drawing of a reconstruction of the Temple of Solomon, although this first Temple was, and is forever, the irradiating and founding core of Jerusalem history, legitimacy and destiny.
But you will be able to find in this same Atlas, drawings of Pagan Temples in the time of Solomon, and, for example the reconstruction of the “impressive” entrance to the Syrian Tell Ta’yinat Temple : Dan Bahat hinting surreptitiously, at a Syrian influence on the architecture of the Jewish Temple.
On this precise example, Dan Bahat makes a plain error (among others distributed all over his Book) :
- Yes, there was clearly a Syrian influence on the architects of the Solomon Temple : the proof of which can be found, not in the Tell Ta’yinat Temple, but in the Ain Dara Temple, which had a Priestly Annex attached against the external walls, all around the Pagan Temple, on its sides and at its back, and which had two basalt columns supporting the Porch.
Now, these two Syrian characteristics were effectively added by Solomon to the sacred model of the Tent of the Meeting of Moses, when Solomon built the first Temple of Jerusalem, while faithfully respecting the Bible divine proportions of the Jewish Sanctuary itself (with the perfect cube of the Holy of Hollies) –
Those Biblical, sacred proportions which constitute the Fundamentals of the Mystical Architecture of Jerusalem and of its Temple, are also totally ignored by Dan Bahat’s Illustrated Atlas of Jerusalem :
We do not want to make a complete book review of Dan Bahat’s, quasi-official Atlas of Jerusalem : that would be rather sad.
But we must add another final remark :
Dan Bahat presents many clever and luxury reconstruction drawings of the ancient sophisticated waters installations in antique Jerusalem.
But, here again, you can vainly scrutinize the Atlas, you will not find a single word about the functioning of the Hydraulic System of the Temple, without which the daily Worship (through the source living waters purifications required by Biblical Prescriptions) would have been totally impossible in the Temple of Jerusalem.
Dan Bahat avoids cautiously to even trying a reconstruction of this Religious Temple Hydraulic System, although this innovative System was absolutely unique in Antiquity, and at the core of all the Jewish rites in Jerusalem.

To conclude briefly with Dan Bahat, and to answer precisely Question n°4, the absence of the Priestly Annex at the back of the Temple, in his reconstruction of the Herodian Temple, is a deliberate twist to historic reality, in order to assimilate artificially the western wall of the disappeared Temple to the western Rampart of the Haram, called “Wailing Wall”.
This is not History and this is not Archaeology :
This is to manipulate in order to enforce a dhimmi tradition which had tolerated submissive Jews and Rabbis to pray at the wrong place, at the feet of the Muslims, and in the wrong axis (west-east instead of east-west, as explicitly prescribed by the Torah) :
Wrong place, because a few meters under the ground where the Jews stand at this “wailing wall”, runs the ancient aqueduct in which flowed the source living waters from Etam, providing, by sole gravitation and without the use of any bucket or utensil, the necessary and uninterrupted flux of purification live waters to downstream (among others) the brazen Laver (for purification of the Priests) and to the Mikveh of the High Priest, which was located at the upper storey of the Parvah House standing very close to the Temple, forcibly south and downstream from the “Haram”, on the real surface of the disappeared Sanctuary Platform !!!

To summarize our answer to Question n°4 , when being examined in details, the work of Dan Bahat appears similar to the various items presented by communist countries when they deal with Religious antiquities :
That is to say that Religion is systematically decerebrated and eviscerated to be turned into pseudo cultural and touristic profitable products.
Unfortunately, for the moment (but not for long), Israel’s Archaeology Nomenklatura diffuses complacently this lucrative state of mind.
But NOBODY in the world (including Dan Bahat) would have ever heard of a little town called JERUSALEM, if David had not brought there the Ark of the Covenant, and if Solomon had not built there the Temple of the Jews - TEMPLE of JERUSALEM ever fathering Democracy to Humanity through its indissociable infra-moral twins, called “Human Rights” and “Human Duties”.

Historically, Dan Bahat and consorts prefer to accept slavishly Hadrian’s destructive scheme :
In 135, this Roman Emperor, crushed in flows of blood the last revolt of the Jews led by Bar Kockba and Rabbi Akiba (the main architect of the Mishnah) in their despaired attempt to rebuild the Temple of Jerusalem destroyed by Titus in 70. After that, Hadrian banned from Jerusalem the Jews and the Christian Jews (for two centuries) in order to remove from mankind’s memory the real location of the completely erased platform on which the vanished Temple of the irreducible Jews had really stood - beneath the protection of the antique overlooking and continuously fortified Jewish Citadel (nowadays ‘’Haram’’).
Of course, after having so obediently operated on Israel a similar archaeology lobotomy, Dan Bahat and consorts are no more able to grasp the innovating Roots of the Jewish Essence, Truth and Legitimacy.
However, in the end, and despite Dan Bahat and consorts’ noxious ignorance :
- in the same way as they finally reacted to pogroms and holocausts by unexpectedly (after two thousands years) deciding to recreate the antique State of Israel with "settlers" (consciously or unconsciously driven by the Torah),
- in the same way, the Jews, wary of lamenting dhimmily at the wailing wall and at the foot of the “Haram”, will finally and unexpectedly (after two thousands years) decide to recreate and restore their necessary 4th TEMPLE of JERUSALEM on its authentic Site (which stood downstream from the “Haram” -as it had been indicated to David by THE ETERNAL G*D Himself-) : Glorious Temple which will, then, stand as their sole undisputable Legitimacy and Shield to withstand victoriously the growing environmental threat of annihilation, by perpetually offering to Humanity the living Democracy reference Source of the World essential and vital Moral Infrastructure.

***To conclude with this Op-ed, we would add that it proceeds from a quite bizarre state of mind to think that Mystical Certitudes cannot be studied and analyzed, especially when these mystical certitudes result from the initial Hadrian's destructive and Machiavellian scheme, his cold manipulation and his ruthless thirst for world absolute power.

THE SLEEPING RABBI AND THE MUMMY

***********************************************
THE SLEEPING RABBI AND THE MUMMY
******************************************************
***
One can easily understand that the terrified Rabbis had been completely anesthetized by their ruthless Idumean Tyrant, Herod, who had been arbitrarily nominated by the Senate of Rome “King of the Jews” (Later this same appellation will be ironically affixed by Pontius Pilate to the cross where Jesus is crucified).
***
But the fact that, during two thousand years, not one single Rabbi (or Scholar) had stood up and expressed his revolted indignation at the profanation and desacralization of the third Temple of Jerusalem by Herod is one of the most stupefying event in the history of mankind’s ideologies and beliefs.
***
Herod built an upper floor on top of the Holy of Holies, and furthermore the ceiling of this Most Holy Place was pierced with holes allowing lift cages to descend from the Upper Floor down into the Holy of Holies.
Now, even the least talented student of any Yeshiva (Jewish religious school) will tell you that above and under the Holy of Holies there could not be neither an attic, nor a maintenance room, nor a cave (which, very incidentally, is the case in the Dome of the Rock where there is a grotto beneath the “Rock”)
Why ? Because atop the Holy of Holies, the Divine Cloud (or Shekinah) descended directly from the Infinite Heaven on the Ark of the Covenant to meet the Intercessor of the Jews (Moses and after him the High Priest) in order to perpetuate the Moral Pact between the Eternal and Humanity.
There, above the atonement cover between the two Cherubim which are over the Ark of the Covenant, I will meet you (Moses), and give you everything in commandment to the Children of Israel. (Exodus 25 : 23)
***

This Upper Storey, paganly invented by Herod and built on the top of the Holy Place and on the top of the Most Holy Place, existed, neither in Moses’ Tent of the Meeting, nor in the first Temple of Solomon, nor in the second Temple rebuilt by Zurubbabel and Jeshua at the return of exile of Babylon, nor in this same second Temple, renovated by the Hasmoneans.
***

In fact, Herod had invented this Upper Floor in order to be able, clandestinely, to descend himself into the Holy of Holies, with, occasionally, imperial guests as for instance Agrippa, the son in law of Augustus (who has been, inter alia, the most famous Hydraulic Systems developer in Antiquity and who shared with his friend Herod this passion for technology innovation).

-(Tractate Middoth describes with great precision the ascending separate corridor which allowed Herod to go up to the upper storey of the Temple without entering officially the Temple)-

Thus, with this Temple Upper Floor, Herod could offer to himself and to Pagan elites a “Judaic initiation” equivalent, for instance, to the much favoured initiation of the Eleusinian Mysteries.
Moreover Herod could thus demonstrate to his inflated ego that, in his Kingdom, no power could prevail upon his own absolute power, even that of the High Priest (who besides was nominated by Herod).

***

The Rabbinical reaction to this terrible desacralization of the Mystical essence of the Herodian Temple has been, and is still, totally absurd and incongruous :
***

The Tractate Middoth of the Mishnah, written by the Palestinian Rabbis, describes meticulously the architecture of the third Temple of Herod (third Temple which replaced in fact the second Temple utterly demolished by Herod even in its foundations) :

Here after, the extract of the Rabbinical Tractate Middoth of the Mishnah displays an incredible scope of naivety, or of blindness, specifically when concerning this third Temple Upper Floor usefully invented by the Potentate Herod :
And in this Upper Room of the Sanctuary there were trap openings down into the Holy of Holies through which they would lower down craftsmen in cages, so that they could not feed their gaze on the Holy of Holies. (Middoth : 4 : 5)

***

The vast ocean of Rabbinical Literature allows sometimes discoveries of treasures of thought, seldom equaled. But, in same time, in particular in its Aggadic aspects (stories rather legendary) one can discover also in this Rabbinical literature disconcerting accounts of vertiginous acrobatic reflexions.
Indeed, in this respect, the Rabbis, Authors of the Middoth Tractate, indicate, with a very sincere and quasi-unconscious meticulousness, how anybody can walk above the Holy Place and above the Most Holy Place, and how any fellow can even penetrate down, by using small "elevators", into the Holy of Holies, which, in addition, had lost its Mystical Perfect Cubic form proportions prescribed by G*d to Moses (5 meters x 5 meters x 5 meters) and respected by Solomon (10 meters x 10 meters x 10 meters) and which had been transformed casually by Herod into a square well, 10 meters x 10 meters x 30 meters high according to Flavius Josephus, or 20 meters high according to Tractate Middoth.
***

Now, in this Most Holy Place of the third Temple, which, thanks to Herod’s architectural modification, anybody could then desacralize at will, only the High Priest had the religious right to penetrate, once a year (Kippur), for a very short moment of a few minutes to meet The Eternal and purify All Israel, and this, after one week of intense preparation, made of rigorous and ceaseless immersions in living source Waters inside the Sanctuary { in the "Mikweh" (Purification Bath) located, close to the Temple, at the upper floor of the Parvah House }.
Therefore, one will wonder, very vainly, what kind of work these pseudo “craftsmen” would have had to carry out in a Sacred Place, where there was strictly nothing since the Ark of the Covenant had disappeared, where nobody ever penetrated, and where the most complete darkness reigned.
But, moreover, in the field of total absurdity thus evoked, how many holes would have been necessary, actually, to drill in the ceiling of the Most Holy Place, so that these craftsmen of such eminently virtual work, locked up in a cage probably measuring 2 meters by 2 meters, would have been able to achieve such completely imaginary tasks, in a space of 10 meters by 10 meters out of reach from the cages, and without never being allowed to have a glance at the interior of the Holy of Holies ?!

***
In an eschatological perspective one could say that this third Herodian Temple, desacralized in such a cynical way, was indeed doomed to be destroyed.
***
Now this stubborn millenary blindness of the Rabbis can, most probably, be explained by their desire to keep a mystical devotion for a Temple of Jerusalem mummified, rather than to serve a living Temple where they would have to share their power with the hereditary Priests descending from Aaron, as prescribed by the Bible, and where they would feel obliged to revive animals sacrifices :

***
- Concerning the distribution of powers it may be usefully recalled that the Pharisee Rabbis did not only share power with the “Cohanim” (Hereditary Priests) but most often did take over all the power in the Sanhedrin of the Temple. Furthermore there are quite a lot of Rabbis Cohen in the world…
- Concerning animals sacrifices, those bloody Rites were not specific to the Jewish Religion : almost all Civilizations in Antiquity did practice Animal Sacrifices.

And almost all Civilizations have rightfully forsaken these initial primitive Rites.

This natural evolution of Civilization necessary Moral Rites is confirmed by the Scriptures, as, for example inter alia, in Psalms : 50 : 9-14 :
I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens,
For every animal of the forest are mine and the cattle on a thousand hills.
I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine.
If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the World is mine, and all that is in it.
Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats ?
Offer thanksgivings to Me, your God, and fulfill faithfully your Covenant with Me.
***
And such, because the true, unique and revolutionary Invention of the Jewish Religion was the institution of the Worship of a Moral Pact uniting the Jews to YHVH and to be preserved and perpetuated in the Ark of Covenant, in the Temple.
***
And the development of this glorious Cult, celebrating day after day the Moral Covenant, allowed in fact, progressively, to install the Jewish-Christian Moral infrastructure which is fathering World Democracy for Humanity.
***
Dazzling confirmation of this sacrilegious desacralization by the Pagan Architecture of the Herodian Temple, was given by the representation of the Temple which was made on the coins, struck at the time of the last Jewish Revolt, led by Bar Kockba and Rabbi Akiba, -the main Architect of the Mishnah.
This Revolt against the Romans aimed, in 135, at rebuilding the Temple of Jerusalem which had been destroyed by Emperor Titus in 70 : Obviously, Bar Kockba and Rabbi Akiba, who knew perfectly the Structure of the third Herodian Temple, made a point of fully restoring the Moses-Solomon Sacred Architecture with all its original Mystical Cubic Significance :
***

Now, all these Coins of Bar Kockba, do not display obviously the height of the Pagan Upper Floors which had been installed on the top of the Temple by Herod.
Moreover, the verticality so characteristic of the third Herodian Temple is replaced by a deliberately horizontal vision, with, only as a vestige of the Herodian concept, the tetrastyle Porch (probably because its visual memory was still too present 70 years after its destruction, and, anyhow, did not affect the Mystical Jewish Power of the Temple).
***

And then upon this authentic 4th Temple, which would have been thus restored by Rabbi Akiba and Bar Kockba, the Shekinah could have, again, descended, at the absolute zenith of the Holy of Holies, to deposit on the Ark of the Covenant its Divine Protection, in order to perpetuate gloriously the solemn and imprescriptible Rite of Celebration of the Moral Pact granted to Israel by YHWH.

***To conclude with this Op-ed, we would add that it proceeds from a quite bizarre state of mind to think that Mystical Certitudes cannot be studied and analyzed, especially when these mystical certitudes result from an initial malevolence made of egocentrism, cruelty, cold manipulation and ruthless thirst for power.

PURIFYING WATERS OF JERUSALEM

*********************************************
THE PURIFYING WATERS OF JERUSALEM
*********************************************

Purifying Live Source Waters were absolutely needed for the daily Worship in the Temple of Jerusalem.

These live Waters, which came from the Etam Sources and Solomon Pools, flowed to Jerusalem by sole gravity in an Aqueduct ("Aqueduct of Solomon" or "Aqueduct of Etam''), which crossed the Tyropean ravine on a bridge (“Wilson’s Arch”), situated north of the “Wailing Wall”, at about 5 (five) meters below the present ground of the ''Wailing Wall'', in order to penetrate into the rocky underground of the nowadays Esplanade of the Mosques (“Haram”).

There, still by sole gravity and without the use of any utensil, these live Source Waters flowed ceaselessly to (among others) the Mikweh of the High Priest which was located inside the walls of the Sanctuary at the upper storey of the Parwah House, standing near the Temple above the surface of the Court :

These ever-flowing live Source Waters allowed, thus, the daily purifying immersion of the High Priest, upon whom depended the ultimate Purification of All Israel, as required by *YHWH*.

This antique Religious Hydraulic System, faithfully and entirely preserved up today in the rocky entrails of the Esplanade of the Mosques (and which can be checked by anybody including by UNESCO) demonstrates beyond dispute that the Temple of Jerusalem could only stand, in reality, DOWNSTREAM from the “Haram” on a disappeared platform erased by Roman Emperor Hadrian.

And the present deep-rooted collective mystical belief concerning the erroneous Site of the Jewish Temple is the successful result of a scheme played magisterially by Divine Roman Emperor Hadrian, and later firmly caped by the Islamic conquerors.

One can find, -all precise and detailed Data concerning this Religious underground Hydraulic System, unique in Antiquity-,
- as well as - the new authentic History of the Temple of Jerusalem -,
at : http://www.jerusalem-4thtemple.org/

HISTORICAL OVERVIEW

The present Esplanade of the Mosques (“Haram”) had always been, in fact and as testified by all ancient texts, the ancient Jewish Citadel which, since (David and) Solomon, overlooked and protected the Temple :
After the destruction by Titus, in 70, of all its buildings, the horizontal surface of this ancient Jewish Citadel in ruins had been turned into the Campus for manoeuvers of the occupying Roman Legio.
Later, “Divine” Roman Emperor Hadrian crushed in flows of blood the last Revolt of the Jews, led by Bar Kochba and Rabbi Akiba (the main architect of the Mishnah) in their desperate attempt, from 132 to 135, to rebuild the Temple destroyed by Titus. And Rabbi Akiba suffered then fervently the worst burning martyr for his lost Ideal.
Then, in order to remove, definitely and for ever, the location of the “stupid and stubborn Jews’ Unique God Temple” from Mankind’s memory, “Divine” Hadrian had the Temple platform (180 m x 180 m) erased to the sloppy rock : Jews (and Judeo-Christians) were deported and banned from Jerusalem for two centuries, while the City was entirely repopulated with Pagan migrants (mainly Syrians).

This Hadrian Scheme has been fully successful up to day…

OPEN LETTER TO ISRAEL

OPEN LETTER TO ISRAEL

From N Natan
to
Israel

In the Capital of Israel, the Hydraulic System of the Temple of Jerusalem has been faithfully preserved, up today, in the underground bedrock of the Haram (Esplanade of the Mosques).

****

This underground Hydraulic System, completely unknown, has been carefully explored, measured and registered with great precisions, by the 19th century Archaeologists, who are the only Scientists who have ever been allowed to enter the Haram underground (for a period of about 50 years).

****
A precise Study and reevaluation of all the measures of the explorations of this unique antique Hydraulic System, (aimed at providing the purification Source Waters needed for the daily strict exacting rites of the Jewish Worship) show irrefutably that the Temple of Solomon, the second Hasmonean Temple and the third Temple of Herod could never have stood on the Esplanade of the Mosques ( which had always been, in fact, as testified by all ancient texts, the ancient Jewish Citadel which, since Solomon, overlooked ad protected the Temple : After the destruction by Titus of all its buildings, its horizontal surface with ruins had been turned into the Campus for manoeuvers of the occupying Roman Legio)

Please, Israel, do read, YOURSELF, this Study (300 pages On-Line at http://www.jerusalem-4thtemple.org/ – you can skip the introductory brief History of the Wailing Wall - ) and do form, YOURSELF, your own conviction, but please do not trust, in this very particular sensitive field, any scholar of the Israeli Archaeology Nomenklatura, and particularly not Mazar (whose only credential is her father) nor Dan Bahat (too much interested in the lucrative sales of his wrong books).

I am, of course, very sorry to be forced to appear so aggressive, but the Future of Jerusalem and of Israel depends now on the Restoration of the Unique Jewish Legitimacy of the Sacred Land, that is to say, the Restoration of the 4th Temple of Jerusalem downstream from the Haram.
(See Guidelines for this Restoration at :
http://www.jerusalem-4thtemple.org/ ).

Indeed, this irrefutable concrete Legitimacy, gloriously personified by the Jerusalem Temple --endlessly fathering the twins “Human Rights” & “Human Duties” for Planet Democracy Survival -- would be the only efficient Ideology Shield (in the minds of all Nations, including Muslims) which would really protect Israel, and provide the necessary Rites to cement the strength of all the Jews of the World, uniting in yearly enhancing Pilgrimages.

*

No antimissile Dome Shield, even efficient, will be able, by itself, to protect really Israel, as miniaturized atomic bombs (or others) can be smuggled by Suicide Terrorists into Tel-Aviv.
Therefore the Ideology Dome Shield, provided by the resurrected Temple of Jerusalem, will effectively protect Israel, by deterring Islamism Determination, by questioning their Roots, by shaking their Conviction and finally by winning their Respect, if not their Friendship.

I hope that G*d will make you read this authentic History of the Temple of Jerusalem, and guide your Destiny.

Sincerely
Natan March 2009

P.S. As for your Rabbis, do not worry, Israel :
They will, of course and as usual, ultimately rally to the political and social Decisions inspired by G*d (as they did for Cyrus, for Herod, or for the re-Creation of the State of Israel) and even claim, finally and proudly, the exclusive Control, Management and Direction of Worship at the new 4th Synagogue-Temple of Jerusalem…

**

And the Rabbis should usefully seek inspiration in Rabbi Akiba (the main Architect of the Mishnah) who suffered the burning martyr, when the Divine Roman Emperor Hadrian crushed in flows of blood the last Revolt of the Jews, led by Bar Kochba and Rabbi Akiba, in their desperate attempt, from 132 to 135, to rebuild the Temple destroyed by Titus in 70.

( - Then, in order to remove the Temple location from Mankind’s memory, Divine Hadrian had the Temple Platform erased to the sloppy rock, and Jews (and Judeo-Christians) were deported, and banned from Jerusalem for two centuries, while the City was entirely repopulated with Pagan migrants (mainly Syrians - ).
This Hadrian Scheme was fully successful up to day...
***
Finally, the Rabbis would also be well inspired to re-read
their Talmud of Jerusalem : Order Moed : Tractate Yoma : 1 / 1
(Written by the Palestinian Rabbis four centuries after the destruction of the Herodian Temple by Titus) :
“Each Generation, during which the Temple is not rebuilt,
is as equally guilty as those who had allowed it to be destroyed.”

ISRAEL RUDDERLESS SHIP

************************************
ISRAEL RUDDERLESS SHIP
*****************************

ISRAEL is now a powerful erratic Ship, having lost its rudder -which was the Temple of Jerusalem-.
Therefore this powerful Ship can no more deliver its precious Freight, which was, and still remains, the irreplaceable Leaven of World Democracy, constituted by the twin Fundamental Moral Genome : -Human Duties-Human Rights-.

Because of their ignorance of IDEOLOGY WAR, and because of their ignorance of Islam Fundamentals, naïve Israeli (and other) Politicians will soon witness the (same) rout of Fatah and the triumph of Hamas in the Western Bank, as Democracy can NEVER blossom in the Islamic Society irremovable Compound -for very specific Koranic reasons-.
And very soon, TV Programs will present all the Palestinian streets, haunted by ghostly women walking in their life-prison veils, sight which usually make the delight of complacent medias and tourists, in the name of a so-called comprehensive tolerance.

Then, Israel, floating adrift and encircled by the Ideology of Hamas, of Hezbollah, of Iran, of al-Qaida, etc. (all fully loaded with heavy pretrodollars), will finally understand that the only efficient Shield, on the long term, which would be able to protect Israel from this everlasting Ideology Hatred of the Moslems, will neither be its army, neither the 150 Israeli atomic bombs, nor eventually the thousands American missiles, nor Haaretz worn out stereotypes.

In this irreducible and raging IDEOLOGY WAR, led by the fanatics-faithful Muhammadan Islamists, the only IDEOLOGY EVENT which could win Israel, at least, the Justified Respect (if not the Esteem) of the Moslem World, is the Restoration of the Temple of Jerusalem on its authentic Site ***.
(-Jerusalem Temple fathering Democracy with its indissociable genome twins, Human Duties and Human Rghts- : Jerusalem Temple, let us insistently recall, without which Muhammad -begging for the Shekinah- as well as Israel, as well as Moslem and Israeli Nomenklaturas, and as well as World Democracy, would never have existed).
***
***
See at http://www.jerusalem-4thtemple.org/ the first and sole Archaeology Study of the Jerusalem Temple Hydraulic System, which has been miraculously preserved, to this present day, in the rocky underground of the “Haram” (Esplanade of the Mosques) and which can be visited by anyone :
This Archaeology Study enables to locate precisely the authentic Site of the vanished Temple, downstream from the “Haram” (“Haram” which, in reality, had always been the ancient Jewish Citadel overlooking and protecting the Temple).
The grandiose, innovative, unique (and totally ignored ! ) antique TEMPLE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, installed from King Solomon to King Herod, with meticulous underground cascades, had been, thus, designed to constitute the “Water Tower” which stored and provided, DOWNSTREAM, and by sole gravitation, the indispensable Live Source Waters of Etam to the JERUSALEM TEMPLE :
These purifying living Waters had to EVER FLOW, without the least interruption and by sole gravitation, according to the meticulous exacting Jewish Religious Prescriptions, in order to allow daily Purifications of ALL ISRAEL, as absolutely required by YHWH in the Worship of the ancient ISRAEL TEMPLE –
- The Temple, therefore in reality, stood on a disappeared Platform, located DOWNSTREAM from its “Water Tower” : and this “Water Tower” is still embedded in the rocky underground of the nowadays Haram-).

Thus, the JEWISH TEMPLE stood in reality DOWNSTREAM from the Haram (ancient Jewish Citadel) on these disappeared Platform and Esplanade :

Historical Résumé :
These (downstream) Platform and Esplanade had been erased to the sloppy rock, in 135, by the Roman Emperor Hadrian, after the bloody repression of the last Revolt of the Jews, led by Bar Kochba and Rabbi Akiba (the main Architect of the Mishnah), in their desperate attempt to rebuild the Temple destroyed by Titus in 70.
Jerusalem was then voided of all its inhabitants (Jews and Judeo-Christians) and was repopulated with new Pagan immigrants (mainly Syrians) to colonise the City that became entirely and exclusively Roman, and was renamed Aelia Capitolina.
In order to ensure the success of a secret strategy, the object being to eliminate any new idea of Revolt by the Jews and any idea of a Single God, the God-Roman Emperor Hadrian had decided to eradicate from the memory of men the real location of the Temple.
With this objective in view, Hadrian thus had expulsed the Jews from Jerusalem with an Edict formally forbidding all Jews (or Judeo-Christians) to never again approach the City under pain of instant death.
This Interdiction forbidding the Jews (and Judeo-Christians) to approach Jerusalem remained in force for about two centuries, and its application was facilitated by the visual inspection of circumcision of any suspect.
After the destruction of the Temple by the Roman Emperor Titus in 70, the Herodian Esplanade of the Citadel which overlooked and protected the Temple had be turned into the “Campus” (flat manoeuvres place) of the Roman occupying Legion (X Frentesis), and, later, after the Conquest of Jerusalem by Caliph Omar, in 638, it became the “Haram” of the Muslims.

The 4th SYNAGOGUE-TEMPLE OF JERUSALEM

***

In the same way...

In the same way as the Jews did, unexpectedly, recreate the State of Israel after two thousands years, despite the initial and unanimous opposition of the Rabbis, in the same way the Jews will restore the 4th Synagogue-Temple of Jerusalem on its authentic Site indicated to David by YHWH.

See at previous Posts and at www.jerusalem-4thtemple.org the precise location of this Temple Site, downstream from the Haram (Esplanade of the Mosques) as it appears, unquestionably, through the first and sole Archaeology Study of the Temple Hydraulic System, miraculously preserved in the bedrock of the Haram (and which can be visited nowadays by anyone).
- Incidentally, I salute with commiseration the perfectissime ignorance of the Israeli Archaeology Nomenklatura, more interested in their private business and civil position than in Israel Destiny. -

RESTORATION
of the 4th SYNAGOGUE-TEMPLE of JERUSALEM :

Animals bloody Sacrifices Rites were not specific to the Jewish Religion :
Almost all Civilizations in Antiquity did practise Religious Animal Sacrifices.
And almost all Civilizations have forsaken these initial primitive Rites.
Therefore, it would be a sclerotic and prehistorical move to restore animals sacrifices. (in this prospect, he Rabbis, for centuries, have constantly demonstrated their formidable capability to adapt and modify the Moses Prescriptions to all circumstances and to the evolution of civilizations.)

The true, unique and revolutionary Invention of the Jewish Religion was the Institution of the Worship of a Moral Pact uniting the Jews to YHVH, to be preserved in the Ark of Covenant, and to be perpetuated in the Jerusalem Temple.
The development of this glorious Cult, preserving forever and celebrating, day after day, this Moral Covenant, progressively, allowed the blossoming of Democracy (which, willy nilly, will finally become the universal rule of this (first) Planet).
Therefore, this glorious Worship at the 4th Synagogue-Temple of Jerusalem, fathering Mankind Moral with the indissociable twins Human Duties-Human Rights, will, sooner or later, be resumed by the innovative Jews, in all its splendour, despite - but more hopefully with the help of - the Rabbis :

So, let us never forget, O, Jerusalem :

“Each Generation, during which the Temple is not rebuilt,
is as equally guilty as those who had allowed it to be destroyed.”
Talmud of Jerusalem : Order Moed : Tractate Yoma : 1 : 1
(Written by the Palestinian Rabbis four centuries after the destruction of the Herodian Temple by Titus)

Two sad Coffins - Hezbollah Triumph

***********************************************************************************
Two Sad Coffins – Hezbollah Triumph
and “Israel will disappear…”

Ahmadinejad, who is the Voice of His Master, “the Qoms Nomenklatura”, speaks and shouts, aloud, what one billion Moslems think mutely (despite what they may eventually recite publicly).

Israel ! Wake up ! Israel you are facing an Ideology War, and apparently the Israeli Government is totally ignorant of it !
Wake up Israel before disappearing !
The only efficient Shield, which could protect now Israel from the everlasting Ideology Hatred of the Moslems, are neither the 150 Israeli atomic bombs, nor eventually (but less and less probably) the thousands American missiles, nor Haaretz complacent stereotypes.
In the irreducible and raging Ideology War, led by the Muhammadan Islamists, the only Ideology Event which could win Israel, at least, the Justified Respect (if not the Esteem) of the Moslem World, is the Restoration of the Temple of Jerusalem ***. (-Temple fathering Democracy- and without which, let us recall, Muhammad -begging for the Shekinah- as well as Moslem and Israeli Nomenklaturas would never have existed).

See previous Post for this Ideology War.

See at http://www.jerusalem-4thtemple.org/ the first Archaeology Study of the Jerusalem Temple Hydraulic System, which has been miraculously preserved, to this present day, in the rocky underground of the “Haram” (Esplanade of the Mosques) :
This Scientific Study enables to locate precisely the authentic Site of the vanished Temple, downstream from the “Haram” (“Haram” which, in reality, had always been the ancient Jewish Citadel overlooking and protecting the Temple).
