| This is a view from the Temple Mount facing east toward the Mt. of Olives. G is standing on location of the outer court of the OT and NT temple near the place of the altar of burnt offering. |
|
| This is a view from the temple mound looking at and around the Dome of the Rock |
|
| Soldiers make one of the men in our group put on a skirt because his shorts did not cover his knees. You can see the man in the skirt and the soldiers laughing in the background. |
|
| This video lets you stand inside the eastern wall on the temple mount. |

|
| The el-Aqsa Mosque on the south end of the temple mound. It was first built around 710 AD. It is the third holiest sight in the muslim world. Mecca and Medina are one and two. |
|
| Underground passage way dating to the time of the second temple that leads under the mosque and to the double gate on the southern wall. |
In the New Testament times this passage way would lead to the large southern wall entrance.
This is connection is seen below.
|
| In this diagram I labeled the Mosque, the above tunnel entrance, and the location of the double gate on the southern wall. |
During the time of the New Testament people would enter the temple by ascending the stairs on the southern wall,
enter the double gate, proceed through the public tunnel and emerge on the temple mound platorm by way of
the stairs seen in the picture above by the el-Aqsa Mospue.

|
| The large platform of the temple mound. The right side of the picture is east and the gate way faces the Mt. of Olives. To the left and out of the picture is the Dome of the Rock. The temple would have sat there in Bible times. The altar of burnt offering would have been towards the left edge of this picture near the two columns. |
|
| Here I am taking a picture of the Mount of Olives towards the east. Below you can see the pictures with the sun in the morning sky. |
|
| Facing east form the temple mound. |
|
The Mount of Olives. In front on the wall is the Golden Gate.
I was thinking about several verses when I took this picture including Ezekiel 43:1 and Zechariah 14:4.
|
"Then the man brought me to the gate facing east, and I saw the glory of the God of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters, and the land was
radiant with his glory." Ezekiel 43:1
"On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Loives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of olives will be split in two from est to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south." Zechariah 14:4
|
| The Holy of Holies is believed to be under the Dome of the Rock but some scholars believe this is the location where the ark would have sat in the Old Testament temple. |
|
| In the New Testament the blood would have been placed directly on this stone which is part of the bedrock at the top of Mount Moriah. |
|
Fort Antonia was at the northwest corner of the temple mount.
This picture shows the bedrock that the fort would have been built on. |
|
A few of the stones remain.
There is a school at this location today. |
|
| The stones and bedrock that was the base of Fort Antonia. |
|
Steps leading up to the platform are original to the Herod's temple but not square with the more recent platform.
Leen Ritmeyer as done some measuring and the way these steps are layed out confirms his location for the temple.
An explaination by Ritmeyer concerning the significance of the bend you see between these steps and the diagonal edge further down can be read HERE
See his diagram below two images below. |
|
The steps are original to the temple of the first century. They were used to approach the platform of today that was laid out many years later at a different angle.
Notice the other steps are square with the more recent platform. |
|
This is Ritmeyer's diagram.
Notice where it says "STEP". This is the location in the pictures I took above.
The new 500 cubit square that has been drawn around today's platform would is square with the steps and would be the location of Herod's temple platform. |
|
| The stones of the steps and the pavement |  |
| The steps that led up to the original platform of Herod's temple. Today they approach the platform at a slight, but noticable angle. |
|
| The Golden Gate of the wall on the east side is seen here from the inside. |
|
| Inside the Golden Gate. |
|
| Galyn inside the Golden Gate on the temple mound. This location will see some intense action in the future. |
|
 | Dr. Carl Rasmussen briefly discusses the Golden Gate. Watch him here. |
| Inside of a window in the eastern wall. |
|
| The Kidron Valley and the Mount of Olives can be seen through the window. |
|
|
| Take a look at the windows in this eastern wall |
| Toni takes a picture of Galyn on the temple mound while Galyn films Toni on the temple mound. |

The Temple Institute
http://www.raptureforums.com/IsraelMiddleEast/guide.pdf
Breaking News from the Middle East. This is huge !! The prophesy of Daniel coming to life right in front of our eyes ‘Matthew 24:15’. Many High Ranking Israelite Officials are declaring that the al-Aqsa Mosque (Dome of Rock) has to go, NOW! Will Israel destroy the temple?
If they do, it will fulfill the Biblical prophecy found in Matthew 24:15 which read as fallows
“”So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel–let the reader understand–“
“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ [Anti-Christ] spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place [Jewish Temple]…” (In other words the Jewish Temple MUST be built for it to be desecrated.) 
————————————
The word, “holy place,” used in this Scripture above, is referencing the New Jewish Temple that will be rebuilt in Jerusalem in the near future. Today there is an institution that is devoted specifically to this cause, it is called, “The Temple Institute.” They were founded in 1987 and are currently planning and developing the construction of the New Temple.
The temple probably would have been built by now if it wasn’t for the Muslims, “Dome of the Rock,” standing in the place the Israelite’s want to build. In truth, the temple can’t be built until some kind of arrangement can be made to either, build it where the “Dome of the Rock” lies and desecrate the Mosque, or build it in a second location. At this moment, it seems we are heading towards desecrating the Mosque. Either way, the moment something happens in order to solve this conflict, the temple is ready to go, ready to be built.
The Temple Institute has made sure of that! In fact the Temple Institute has currently restored over 60 different sacred temple vessels including: the Priest’s breastplate, the crown of the priest, the shofar, musical instruments, the laver, the mizrak, and more. Even some of the most important vessels: the Menorah, the Incense Alter, the Golden Table of Showbread, and a mock up of the “Ark of the Covenant.” It is only a matter of time before this Temple gets built and fulfills the prophecy in Matthew! Be Ready!
