The Temple in Jerusalem or Holy Temple

The Temple in Jerusalem or Holy Temple (Hebrew: בית המקדש, Bet HaMikdash ; "The Holy House"), refers to a series of structures located on the Temple Mount (Har HaBayit) in the old city of Jerusalem. Historically, two temples were built at this location, and a future Temple features in Jewish eschatology. According to classical Jewish belief, the Temple (or the Temple Mount) acts as the figurative "footstool" of God's presence (Heb. "shechina") in the physical world.

The First Temple was built by King Solomon in seven years during the 10th century BCE in 957 BCE. It was the center of ancient Judaism.[1] The Temple replaced the Tabernacle of Moses and the Tabernacles at Shiloh, Nov, and Givon as the central focus of Jewish faith. This First Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians in 587 BCE. Construction of a new temple was begun in 537 BCE; after a hiatus, work resumed 520 BCE, with completion occurring in 516 BCE and dedication in 515. As described in the Book of Ezra, rebuilding of the Temple was authorized by Cyrus the Great and ratified by Darius the Great. Five centuries later, this Second Temple was renovated by Herod the Great in about 20 BCE. It was subsequently destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE (see The Siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE). All of the outer walls still stand, although the Temple itself has long since been destroyed, and for many years it was believed that the western wall of the complex was the only wall standing.

An Islamic shrine, the Dome of the Rock, has stood on the site of the Temple since the late 7th Century CE, and the al-Aqsa Mosque, from roughly the same period, also stands on the Temple courtyard.

Jewish eschatology envisions the construction of The Third Temple in Jerusalem associated with the coming of The Messiah, and thus, adherents of Orthodox and Conservative Judaism anticipate a Third Temple.

On August 30, 2007, what appears to be the remains of the Second Temple were discovered during the installation of pipes in the compound.[2] Then, in October 2007, archaeologists confirmed the discovery of First Temple artifacts.[3]

[BoudiccaBlanc]

Most scholars and archaelogists think that the Jewish temples were located where the al-Aqsa mosque* is located

@DemonAngelvs vladimirkhrustalev (7 seconds ago) Spam Marked as spam Demon Angel ???? In occultism a demon is a supernatural being that is generally described as a malevolent spirit.....demon is considered an "unclean spirit" which may cause demonic possession, to be addressed with an act of exorcism.

In Western occultism and magic, which grew out of an amalgamation of pagan a demon is considered a spiritual entity that may be conjured and controlled.
