Reconstructing Herod's Temple Mount in Jerusalem
Reconstructing Herod’s Temple Mount in Jerusalem By Kathleen RitmeyerLeen Ritmeyer Herod the Great—master builder! Despite his crimes and excesses, no one can doubt his prowess as a builder. One of his most imposing achievements was in Jerusalem. To feed his passion for grandeur, to immortalize his name and to attempt to win the loyalty of his sometimes restive Jewish subjects, Herod rebuilt the Temple (1 on the reconstruction drawing) in lavish fashion. But first he extended the existing platform—the Temple Mount—on which it was built, doubling its size. Herod ruled from 37 to 4 B.C. Scarcely a generation after the completion of this unparalleled building project,a the Romans ploughed the Temple Mount and built a temple to Jupiter on the site. Not a trace of Herod’s Temple was left. The mighty retaining walls of the Temple Mount, however, were deliberately left lying in ruins throughout the Roman (70–324 A.D.) and Byzantine (324–640 A.D.) periods—testimony to the destruction of the Jewish state. The Islamic period (640–1099) brought further eradication of Herod’s glory. Although the Omayyad caliphs (whose dynasty lasted from 633 to 750) repaired a large breach in the southern wall of the Temple Mount, the entire area of the Mount and its immediate surroundings was covered by an extensive new religio-political complex, built in part from Herodian ashlars that the Romans had toppled. Still later, the Crusaders (1099–1291) erected a city wall in the south that required blocking up the southern gates to the Temple Mount.

Sermon “The Golden Gate” Wesley Uniting Church
Sermon “The Golden Gate” Wesley Uniting Church - 16 March 2008 Gregor Henderson Psalm 24, Matthew 21:1-11 The city walls that surround Jerusalem today were built in the 1530’s by the Sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent. But they were built mostly on earlier foundations and a good part of them trace the same route as the city walls of Jesus’ time. Along the eastern wall of the city, across the valley from the Mount of Olives, lies a gateway into the city which has been sealed for centuries. It’s known as the Golden Gate. Archaeological diggings have discovered huge stones in the foundations of this gate, which can be dated to the walls built by Nehemiah, in the 5th or 6th century BC. In the time of Jesus, the gate gave direct access to pilgrims arriving in Jerusalem and entering the Jewish temple built by Herod the Great. It is this gate which Jesus used on Palm Sunday, riding on the young donkey down the slope of the Mt of Olives, across the deep and narrow Kidron Valley, through the gate and into the temple courtyards. The Golden Gate has been closed up for nearly 1200 years, since 812AD. Why? Because for Jews, Christian and Muslims it has far too much religious significance to allow it to be open for general use. For those of Jewish faith, still waiting for the Messiah or the Christ, not believing in Jesus, the Golden Gate is the entry point which the long-awaited Messiah will use to enter the holy city and to inaugurate the kingdom of God in its fullness.

Built atop Mount Moriah in Jerusalem, this e most contested 36-acre site is the place where seminal events in Islam, Judaism and Christianity are said to have taken place, and it has been a flash point of conflict for millenniums.

JERUSALEMJERUSALEM The issue of Jerusalem have constituted, both in the far and near past, a basic pivot in determining the future and realities of the surrounding region. The POPULATION & URBANIZATION special importance of conducting a study on the Jerusalem issue rises from the current attempts to define the future of the region in the context of the ongoing political process and the accompanying conflicts, which are in some cases bloody and in other cases peaceful. Because of the importance of Jerusalem for both the Arab Palestinian side and the Zionist Jewish side, the From 1850 - 2000 determination of the future of the region, whether in terms of war or peace, depends on the method in which the issue is dealt with. The Zionist Movement has attempted from the start of its emigration to Palestine to impose new realities in order to decide the issue of Jerusalem for its benefit. The attempts were not restricted to physical realities, but included the creation of an impression and conviction through media and lots of books and publications that worked on forging the past and present history of the city, thus concealing the reality and truth behind a curtain of false propaganda and history forging. Thus, this contribution from the Jerusalem Media and Communications Center came to highlight the events that took place during the historical epoch between 1850 and 2000. We do hope that we can succeed in raising discussion over this issue and highlight the facts and truth and encourage others inside Palestine and abroad to contribute in this discussion and enrich this attempt towards reinforcing a conviction that any solution that does not guarantee the historical, political, national and religious rights of the Arab Palestinian people in Jerusalem will never be a just, comprehensive and permanent solution.
