The Temple Mount Myth Revealed

[Freeman]

There is a lot of contradictions about the supposed Mount Temple, when Maimonide visited Jerusalem he proposed that a temple in the city will unite the prayer of jews and this temple shouldn't built by humans but will come from heaven.

Concerning the place, some rabbis says that it's below the actual Alaqsa Mosque, others says it's above but other rabbis confirm that it's not in that place but near Jerusalem or in Nablus mount.

Professor in Tel Aviv university and Archaeologist Israel Finkelstein and his colleagues confirm that many biblical stories never happened, but were written by what he calls `a creative copywriter' to advance an ideological agenda.
Israel Finkelstein states:

"There is no archaeological evidence for it," he says. "This is something unexampled in history. I don't think there is any other place in the world where there was a city with such a wretched material infrastructure but which succeeded in creating such a sweeping movement in its favor as Jerusalem, which even in its time of greatness was a joke in comparison to the cities of Assyria, Babylon or Egypt. It was a typical mountain village. There is no magnificent finding, no gates of Nebuchadnezzar, no Assyrian reliefs, no Egyptian temples - nothing. Even the temple couldn't compete with the temples of Egypt and their splendor."

So do you if you think Mohammed ever came near the Temple Mount, even in an opium dream. He never even said where he thought his unicorn took him. It could have been Graceland.

It is a myth that Mohammed got on his horse and together they flew to some far off place (probably Timbuktu), but Freeman being a good Muslim believes this myth. Maybe Freeman can tell us why Jerusalem is never mentioned in the Koran but is mentioned so many times in the Bible. He can also tell us why the Muslims are destroying any Jewish antiquities found under the temple mount. It is pathetic how the Muslims are trying to disapprove any ancient Jewish history in Jerusalem.

So you think a book that is more myth is better than the myth it purports to mythologize?

There is a problem here of the tail chasing the dog.

Josephus Flavius the Jewish/Roman general/historian is the best source of what actually existed in Jerusalem.

He was there and he wrote contemporaneously.

He saw the temple. He walked it.

The Bible is so accurate that archeologists have it in one hand and a shovel in the other. The amount of historic information is invaluable. And they are dragging science along with them.
And as always, prophecy.... that God can, and even the best creative copywriter cannot.

Do you know when Maimonides lived, as it was not when you think. He was a Jew that faked conversion to islam so he could tell the story to the world in his books, so many Jews and Christians fooled the muslims during this period that the muslims now look extremely foolish

Do you think he is Paul, Jesus or Vespasian, or a little of both. Note the typology in his writings. King Herod built a temple and temple mount. That is what he writes about .

 

[yiostheoy]

It is currently vogue in Hebrew Studies to say Judaism was invented in Babylonia in 500 BCE.

But this does not explain where it came from nor how it got there.

The most sensible historical forensics however fully supports a Moses character as the real starting point in Egypt. And Moses explains in his intro book "Genesis" (Bereshet) how they got there -- to Egypt.

It was the whole point of the story.

 

[yiostheoy]

Do you think he is Paul, Jesus or Vespasian, or a little of both. Note the typology in his writings. King Herod built a temple and temple mount. That is what he writes about .

Josephus Flavius tells us Herod re-built a temple on the mount.

Not just "built" but re-built.
