Fascinating Factual Information About Har Habayit – Part One

THE LOCATION OF THE HOLY TEMPLE MOUNT ON MOUNT MORIAH WAS APPOINTED BY THE G-D OF ISRAEL TO BE THE LOCATION OF HIS HOLY TEMPLE AND NO PERSON OR POWER CAN EVER CHANGE IT. ANY ALTERNATIVE LOCATION THAT HAS RECENTLY BEEN SUGGESTED IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG AND NOT RELEVANT.

THIS ARTICLE INCLUDES THE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF GERSHON SALOMON ON THE HOLY TEMPLE MOUNT DURING THE SIX DAYS WAR.

A very strange theory has been put forward in recent years that incorrectly claims that the location of the First and Second Holy Temples was not on Mount Moriah, the location of the Holy Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the place that has always been well-known to everyone until today.

To begin with and most importantly, I would like to say that no theory of this kind is relevant. What has been known during the last 3,000 years since the building of the First Holy Temple by King Solomon until today as the Holy Temple Mount, Mount Moriah, is absolutely the only location of the First and the Second Temples and will be the location of the Third Holy Temple soon to be built by  G-D's people Israel. 

This location was given by the G-D of Israel to King David through prophecy. This is the only place that was chosen by G-D to be the location for His Holy House where He, His Name and His Shekina would dwell there among His people Israel forever and in the Third Holy Temple among all of His creation. This location according to the Word of G-D can not be changed or moved to any other place and, indeed, it never was moved to any other place. This place was dedicated by G-D since the beginning of creation to be forever the one and only location for His Holy Temple. This article comes to bring clarification of this historical fact to everyone while we are presently dealing with the preparations for the building of the Third Holy Temple on the Holy Temple Mount in Jerusalem during our lifetime.

The Liberation of 1967

[...]  To place this major godly event in historical perspective, we must keep in mind that the 1967 liberation of Jerusalem and the Holy Temple Mount happened after almost 2,000 years of Jewish exile from the Land of Israel where the Jewish people were repeatedly scourged, persecuted and murdered in nearly every place where they found a haven and when their own Land, given to them by G-D Himself, suffered from multiple occupations by various foreign empires. The day of the 1967 liberation was certainly one of the most significant days in more than 4,000 years of Jewish history. The dream of thousands of years of the people of G-D became a reality. The liberation of the Holy Temple Mount was a true godly event that was unique in Israel's history and will remain incomparable to any event in the future. [...]

Revealed to King David

For thousands of years the Jewish people have passed along from father to son and from generation to generation the known fact that the Holy Temple Mount is the only location of the First, the Second and the soon to be built Third Holy Temple. I knew that the G-D of Israel returned us to this most Holy Mountain, to the place that He revealed to King David and also to our forefathers and to the exact place where He wants us to rebuild His Holy Temple. I knew, without a doubt, that He returned us to this place, which is the heart and soul of the G-D and people of Israel, for this purpose.

The Holy Temple Mount is located on the top of the Moriah Mountain which is also at the top of the historical City of David. This is the place where the G-D of Israel proclaimed that His Holy Temple will be built, where His Shekina and His Name would dwell in the Holy of Holies of the Holy Temple among His people Israel forever. G-D called to His people Israel: “Build Me a temple and I will dwell among you” Exodus 25:8.

 G-D appointed this place through prophecy to King David and consecrated it for His Name. This is the reason, as we said, that the Second Holy Temple was built on exactly the same place as the First Holy Temple. This is exactly the very same place where the Third Holy Temple must soon be built so that it will stand on the same location of the First and Second Holy Temples on the Holy Temple Mount, which is well-known until today by the people of Israel and by historical and scientific researchers in Israel and throughout the entire world. Any calculation or theory that attempts to locate the Holy Temple on any other location is in major error.
