BREAKING
NEWS!!
"Temple Mount Wall Collapses!"
from ARUTZ SHEVA
Special Note by Steve Shultz:
Â
I was in Israel in 2000. It turns out that I  we were among the last  of
the tourists  who were allowed up on the Temple Mount.
Â
Why?
Â
Because, as we flew OUT of Israel, the talks between Clinton, Arafat and
Barak had also "collapsed" and Barak, literally, was known to have passed us
somewhere in the air - returning to Israel as our group was leaving it.
Â
Soon after that, Ariel Sharon led a group of Israelis up onto the Temple
Mount area, which was the instigating factor, starting with simple
rock-throwing,  but eventually leading up to some of the crisis events in
Israel as we know them today.
Â
Tours of the Temple Mount area, including the Dome of the Rock itself, were
cancelled.
Â
While I was up on the mount, touring the very areas Jesus must have walked,
I noticed a "skip loader" tractor driving, doing some sort of business on
the Temple Mount.
Â
I asked our Israeli guide what the tractor was up to. He informed the group
that this was an ongoing, secretive and clearly illegal desecration of the
Temple Mount Site, by non-Jewish people, who were deliberately attempting to
remove any evidence that the Jewish Temple had ever stood there on this
mount .
Â
Brazenly, without consequences, those illegal excavations have been going
on, unchecked to this very day, resulting, now, in the natural and
"prophetic" collapsing of the wall.
Â
Jesus said there would be signs in the earth - and I believe this is one of
them.
Â
We do not worship the Temple, nor AT the Temple, but we do Worship THE
TEMPLE, Jesus Christ Himself,
Â
"Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I
will raise it up. . . .   But He was speaking of the temple of His
body."Â Â John 2:19-22
Â
While we may (and should) pray for the restoration of the Temple Mount as a
symbol of the Messiah Himself, may we more importantly pray for the Jewish
People to have Peace with their brother Ishmael, and may may they all soon
see the rebuilding of the broken - down walls of the Body of the Christ,
both Jew and Gentile - by their receiving of their Messiah,  Jesus Christ
Himself.
Â
Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem!
Â
Ps 122:6-9
Â
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
Â
"May they prosper who love you.
Peace be within your walls,
Prosperity within your palaces."
For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, "Peace be within
you."
Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good.
(NKJV)
Here is the article I that I was referring to:

 Temple
Mount Wall Collapses
12:23 Sep 25, '03 / 28 Elul 5763
Â
One side of a wall in the Temple Mount compound - completely
visible to Western Wall worshippers - collapsed on Tuesday, uncovering an
area of some 40 square meters of dirt and fill.
One side of a wall in the Temple Mount compound - completely visible to
worshippers at the Western Wall - collapsed on Tuesday, uncovering an area
of some 40 square meters of dirt and fill. The wall belongs to the Islamic
Museum on the Temple Mount, a building to the right and above the worshipers
at the Western Wall, identified by a small gray dome.
Archaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar, a member of the Committee to Prevent the
Destruction of Temple Mount Antiquities, said that the collapse is connected
with the illegal construction works being carried out on the Temple Mount by
the Moslem Waqf. Speaking with Yisrael Medad on Arutz-7's "Freedom of
Broadcast" program, Dr. Mazar said that these works have been ongoing for
many years without supervision by either the Planning and Construction
authorities or the Antiquities Authority.
"No one is concerned about preserving the ancient compound," she said, "nor
has anyone mapped, surveyed or buttressed the hollow areas under the Temple
Mount and under the mosques... It is frightening to think of this collapse,
and of what could happen in the future when many tens of thousands of people
visit the Temple Mount, and tractors and trucks - and all of this atop
hollow areas that have never been professionally checked. This collapse
should be a warning bell. If a catastrophe occurs, the whole world will
blame Israel."
She said that opening the compound to Jewish visitors is "just the
beginning; pressure must be exerted in order that the supervisory
authorities do what they are supposed to. The press must get involved in
this cause."
Five photos by Yisrael Lowenstein show
the wall before it collapsed,
after it collapsed,
from a different angle,
with a zoom,
and with a closer zoom.
