I am always searching for new video content that you put out. I have bought your works that you have published as well. I believe you are right on where the temple was located. Please don't let the negativity of others try and prove you wrong. I do believe the Lord has given you that insight like others who believe in your work with theirs as well. May God Bless you for many more years. Jesus name I pray. Amen!
I as a simple believer in our dear LORD Yeshuah, agree with you. I am old now and have been waiting for this news, for this report. It makes me so excited dear Dr Bob. Thank you.
It was a woman archeologist who discovered the city of David over a decade ago. I absolutely believe that Bob Cornuke is spot on. I've been following Bob for over a decade and like him quite a lot. Keep up the work Mr. Cornuke. God bless you 🙏
She didnt find the city of david. She found the location of the temple built by the israelites. The whole area around the temple mount and around it is the city of david. His residence at the top of the mount now which is called temple mount was the castle of the king. The discovered area below the temple mount was the area the temple was located. It turn like that now destroyed and hidden from everyone was because it was destroyed by the roman empire and buried. The roman did speak of the location of the temple turned desolate made as garbage and shit dump. They throw all kind of shit and garbage on the temple site. Thats why it was forgotten. The lady that found it to be the city of david in last reckonize it to be the location of the temple of god but too late i think few month later she passed away.
Yes. in one of Cornukes videos, he mentioned how he had discovered earlier research. He just picked up where others left off, and of course there has been more archeological discoveries since then.
Right now I miss Chuck Mistler so much. He would’ve lit up like a star. I think you guys are onto something more true than any other temple mount sites and videos I’ve seen thank you so much for this gift.
And Cornuke wasn't the first. There had been research prior...if I recall correctly 60's and early 70's. Bob just picked up the ball and ran with it; continuing research. On-going archeology in the old City of David giving more weight to his proposal. Very exciting indeed!
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, even to the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 🙏🏻🇮🇱🙏🏻
I learned several years ago that the 2nd Temple was in the City of David. Like you said, it was vehemently denied by those who insisted it was on the Temple Mount. I go with the City of David. It's more logical.
yes, I was viewing one of Chuck's teachings on You Tube and he mentioned there was some research going on at that very moment making some exciting discoveries. I believe he would have been 100% on board.
Bob, thank you for this update. My June 2016 Living Passages tour with you and Frank Turek was the most amazing experience in my life. The day after we walked on the likely ground of the real temple and waded through the Gihon Spring to the Pool of Siloam, I was so honored to lead worship in the Garden of Gethsemene singing, "I see the Lord seated on the throne, exalted. And the train of his robe fills the temple with glory. And the whole earth is filled with His glory. HOLY IS THE LORD!" After that you took us on a walk through the Kidron Valley and happened to meet up with your Silwan friend and talked him into leading our entire group into the neighborhood with the tombs. Absolutely amazing! I said it then and I'll say it again, as a professional Information Specialist/Faculty Librarian I very much appreciate your approach to research and investigation. I commend you for thinking outside the box and following where the evidence leads. Best Regards, : ) JL Williams
New Covenant Whole Gospel: How many modern Christians cannot honestly answer the questions below? Who is the King of Israel in John 1:49? Is the King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are we His Body? Who is the “son” that is the “heir” to the land in Matthew 21:37-43? Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34 in blood at Calvary? What the modern Church needs is a New Covenant Revival (Heb. 9:10) in which members of various denominations are willing to re-examine everything they believe and see if it agrees with the Bible, instead of the traditions of men. We need to be like the Bereans. It will be a battle between our flesh and the Holy Spirit. It will not be easy. If you get mad and upset when someone challenges your man-made Bible doctrines, that is your flesh resisting the truth found in God's Word. Nobody can completely understand the Bible unless they understand the relationship between the Old Covenant given to Moses at Mount Sinai and the New Covenant fulfilled in blood at Calvary. Proof the 70th week of Daniel was fulfilled in the past: Based on Hebrews 12:22-24, the Messiah’s death in Daniel 9:26 cannot be separated from the New Covenant fulfilled by His blood at Calvary. See the words "church" and "mount Sion" and "new covenant" and "Jesus" and "blood" in the passage. Are we supposed to believe the angel Gabriel appeared to Daniel to reveal the timeline of the Messiah who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34, and then the angel failed to even mention the New Covenant. Or, is the covenant with the many in Daniel 9:27 the same covenant with the many in Matthew 26:28? The 1599 Geneva Bible is the Bible the Pilgrims brought to America, before John Darby showed up on our shores about the time of the Civil War. What was the earlier understanding of Daniel 9:27 found below in the notes of the 1599 Geneva Bible? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan 9:27 And he shal confirme the couenant with many for one weeke: and in the middes of the weeke he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the ouerspreading of the abominations, he shall make it desolate, euen vntill the consummation determined shalbe powred vpon the desolate. Daniel 9:27 And he (a) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to (b) cease, (c) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. (a) By the preaching of the Gospel he affirmed his promise, first to the Jews, and after to the Gentiles. (b) Christ accomplished this by his death and resurrection. (c) Meaning that Jerusalem and the sanctuary would be utterly destroyed because of their rebellion against God, and their idolatry: or as some read, that the plague will be so great, that they will all be astonished at them.
Blessings to you, thank you for your diligence and research! The body of Christ is so blessed to hear of your findings and research. Remember the late Ron Wyatt, who was the first to find many of the biblical sites, he would pray and ask God for his wisdom and guidance, God would lead him directly to these ancient sites, even to the location of the holy ark of the covenant located underneath Golgotha.
Thank you, I've been saying this for years, there has been scriptural evidence that the Temple-mound was wrong, but I believe they know this, Rome has never relinquished control, they still rule the world, own 65-68% of the land of Israel. Not 1 stone was left upon another, scripture and history confirms this. But when you deny Mashiach Yahushua, you create false teachings like a fortress wall being a temple wall. Thank You, May the Almighty YHWH be honored and Praised forever!!
I agree - there seems to be scriptural and eyewitness evidence for the City of David - I would like to ask where is the place of the skull or perhaps torn down
Scam: the Temple was NOT at the city of David! Bob Cornuke is very deceptive in what he selectively shows and what he avoids! th-cam.com/video/IrqRoLxa178/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qIqgXhvib7Kj_U4- th-cam.com/video/jRcbqmKDAuc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YMcnWxxA5WZ3hNmm th-cam.com/video/CVzkcbPr4Gc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Dsi-kBTMYVPP05GT
people have a hard time dealing with the fact that they might be wrong. Or that they were taught wrong in light of evidence. Christians have a hard time with it too, and of course the Jews naturally have such a longing in their hearts...such a need to connect with their past and future. The clincher for me was the Gehon springs for the sacrifices and for cleansing. Up above...only aqueducts.
Jesus stated, Not one stone would be left standing, so the wailing wall, is what I believe is part of the Roman fortress wall. Now as for the Ark of the covenant, I'm sticking with Ron Wyatt's account of the location and I believe the Israeli authorities have taken full control of the location.
Yes, I agree! Ron Wyatt also found the exact site of the Red Sea Crossing and artifacts of chariot wheels, etc. in the sea! He also found the Ark of the Covenant which was located in a tiny cave directly below Jesus’ crucifixion…and when the earth quaked and His blood flowed down at His death…HIS BLOOD LANDED ON THE MERCY SEAT…and the veil was torn!!! 🙌🏼 You can find videos of it all on Brandon Peterson’s TH-cam channel “Truth is Christ”…check it out and be blessed!
Because the Roman fort and the aquaduct came after the temple. The population of Jerusalem was max 80,000 people then but the Romans had to deal with a troublesome boarder and unruly citizens hence the fortress on top of the mountain. Jesus's turned over the tables of the money changers in a small temple and didn't even get arrested for it so yes it was in the City of David by the spring needed to wash away the blood of the slaughtered animals.
I used to fully accept Bob Cornuke's theory and I was very excited about it. I was always frustrated why people couldn't see it. I'm telling you, I was wrong...very wrong. I've been where you are. You need to search out the objections of Cornuke...there are people who take each of Bob's points and debunk them, using the Bible and archeology.
The following proves Bob Cornuke is correct about the location of Fort Antonia. Fort Antonia (Herod’s Praetorium, Acts 23:35) was built by Herod and given to the Romans. It was used to house the thousands of Roman soldiers needed to police the ancient city of Jerusalem. In Acts 23:23 the Romans sent 470 soldiers to escort one man. Are we to believe all of the soldiers from the fort were sent with this one man? During 73 AD the Jewish leader at Masada said the only thing left of Jerusalem was that which belonged to the Romans. Mar 15:16 Then the soldiers led Him away into the hall called Praetorium, and they called together the whole garrison. Act_23:35 he said, "I will hear you when your accusers also have come." And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's Praetorium. Based on Acts 21:31-40, we know the Roman fort was above the temple because the soldiers had to go “down” to rescue Paul from the mob at the temple. Paul later spoke to the crowd below from the steps, as he was being taken up to Fort Antonia. The following comes from Wars of the Jews, by Flavius Josephus, Book 5, Chapter 5, Section 8. “8. Now as to the tower of Antonia, it was situated at the corner of two cloisters of the court of the temple; of that on the west, and that on the north; it was erected upon a rock of fifty cubits in height, and was on a great precipice; it was the work of king Herod, wherein he demonstrated his natural magnanimity. In the first place, the rock itself was covered over with smooth pieces of stone, from its foundation, both for ornament, and that any one who would either try to get up or to go down it might not be able to hold his feet upon it. Next to this, and before you come to the edifice of the tower itself, there was a wall three cubits high; but within that wall all the space of the tower of Antonia itself was built upon, to the height of forty cubits. The inward parts had the largeness and form of a palace, it being parted into all kinds of rooms and other conveniences, such as courts, and places for bathing, and broad spaces for camps; insomuch that, by having all conveniences that cities wanted, it might seem to be composed of several cities, but by its magnificence it seemed a palace. And as the entire structure resembled that of a tower, it contained also four other distinct towers at its four corners; whereof the others were but fifty cubits high; whereas that which lay upon the southeast corner was seventy cubits high, that from thence the whole temple might be viewed; but on the corner where it joined to the two cloisters of the temple, it had passages down to them both, through which the guard (for there always lay in this tower a Roman legion) went several ways among the cloisters, with their arms, on the Jewish festivals, in order to watch the people, that they might not there attempt to make any innovations; for the temple was a fortress that guarded the city, as was the tower of Antonia a guard to the temple; and in that tower were the guards of those three (14). There was also a peculiar fortress belonging to the upper city, which was Herod’s palace; but for the hill Bezetha, it was divided from the tower Antonia, as we have already told you; and as that hill on which the tower of Antonia stood was the highest of these three, so did it adjoin to the new city, and was the only place that hindered the sight of the temple on the north. And this shall suffice at present to have spoken about the city and the walls about it, because I have proposed to myself to make a more accurate description of it elsewhere.” The Jewish historian Josephus said Fort Antonia was built upon a gigantic rock, on the highest hill, and had passages that went “down” to the temple. Josephus described it as a large structure, instead of what we find in Avi Yonah’s modern model of the fort. Josephus also said the fort blocked the view of the temple on the north side. In the passage below we find the Romans used Fort Antonia as the base to attack the temple during 70 AD. They had previously gained access to the fort by attacking the foundation for seven days. (Book 6, Chapter 2, Section 7) The passage proves at least part of Fort Antonia remained intact on the day the Jewish temple was destroyed. From War of the Jews, by Josephus, Book 6, Chapter 4, sections 4-5. "4. Now it is true that on this day the Jews were so weary, and under such consternation, that they refrained from any attacks. But on the next day they gathered their whole force together, and ran upon those that guarded the outward court of the temple very boldly, through the east gate, and this about the second hour of the day. These guards received that their attack with great bravery, and by covering themselves with their shields before, as if it were with a wall, they drew their squadron close together; yet was it evident that they could not abide there very long, but would be overborne by the multitude of those that sallied out upon them, and by the heat of their passion. However, Caesar seeing, from the tower of Antonia, that this squadron was likely to give way, he sent some chosen horsemen to support them. Hereupon the Jews found themselves not able to sustain their onset, and upon the slaughter of those in the forefront, many of the rest were put to flight. But as the Romans were going off, the Jews turned upon them, and fought them; and as those Romans came back upon them, they retreated again, until about the fifth hour of the day they were overborne, and shut themselves up in the inner [court of the] temple. 5. So Titus retired into the tower of Antonia, and resolved to storm the temple the next day, early in the morning, with his whole army, and to encamp round about the holy house. But as for that house, God had, for certain, long ago doomed it to the fire; and now that fatal day was come, according to the revolution of ages; it was the tenth day of the month Lous, [Ab,] upon which it was formerly burnt by the king of Babylon; although these flames took their rise from the Jews themselves, and were occasioned by them; for upon Titus’s retiring, the seditious lay still for a little while, and then attacked the Romans again, when those that guarded the holy house fought with those that quenched the fire that was burning the inner [court of the] temple; but these Romans put the Jews to flight, and proceeded as far as the holy house itself. At which time one of the soldiers, without staying for any orders, and without any concern or dread upon him at so great an undertaking, and being hurried on by a certain divine fury, snatched somewhat out of the materials that were on fire, and being lifted up by another soldier, he set fire to a golden window, through which there was a passage to the rooms that were round about the holy house, on the north side of it. As the flames went upward, the Jews made a great clamor, such as so mighty an affliction required, and ran together to prevent it; and now they spared not their lives any longer, nor suffered any thing to restrain their force, since that holy house was perishing, for whose sake it was that they kept such a guard about it." All of this provides tremendous evidence that the Dome of the Rock is the true location of Fort Antonia. Josephus said Fort Antonia was built upon a gigantic rock and that rock has not moved. If at least part of Fort Antonia remained on the day the temple was destroyed, where is that part of Fort Antonia now? Watch the TH-cam video… The “Temple Mount” is Roman Fort Antonia, by Leeland Jones, to see the truth with your own eyes. The scorpion was the symbol of the Roman Praetorian Guard, and that symbol is found on the underground section of the Western Wall.
Hope to hear soon Bob's tale on the latest discovery of the moat fortification on the northern end of the City of David, separating it from the "Temple Mount." The idea that the temple was built outside of the fortified city of that time seems extremely unlikely 🤔
The Temple Mount is not the site of the 2nd Temple that was destroyed as predicted by Christ. The Temple Mount is actually the Roman Fort Antonia. The 2nd Temple is located just south in the City of David. Therefore building the 3rd temple can begin today. All of this is confirmed in the Book of Daniel. Daniel recounts where a small stone is thrown at the feet of a huge statue made of iron and clay destroying it. This is exactly the picture of the 2nd Temple (hint: small stone) where it sits in the City of David at the foot of the Roman Fort Antonia (hint: huge statue made of iron and clay). Daniel 2:31-35 New International Version 31 “Your Majesty looked, and there before you stood a large statue-an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. 32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. 34 While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.
Bob Cornuke is among the few who is standing strong for THE TRUTH of the whole Archeological findings in the Middle East and Israel in particular. All the others who are mostly trying to prove that their collective theories are correct, are making a huge mistake of focusing on and trying to prove the ROMAN BACED THEOLOGICAL POSITION TO BE CORRECT. BLESS you Bob, and GOD help you to keep up your great work.
My thoughts on this. Thank you for the video. But reading my bible it says: Mt. Olives is East of the City, the hill, the land. And that the Temple was placed on the land, facing the East. Meaning the front door was facing Mt. Olives. Therefore, the East of the Temple, would be north of the land. So that would place Golgotha, Calvary, the place of crucifixion. Just my thoughts. Thanks again.
It's true. You really can't argue with 2 Chronicles 3:1. "Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to David his father, at the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite." That clearly says "City of David".
This sounds very reasonable, but I have a couple of questions. 1. If the "temple mount" was actually the site for the Roman fortress, why was it taken down so completely? I would have thought that there might be some type of ruins left to show for it. (It WOULD be a great site for a fortress though!). I've also heard that the southern part of the Temple mount (South of the Dome of the rock, and a bit lower, which some people think is the temple location) had an aquaduct leading to it to supply water, but of course that might have been for the fortress...🤔 2. It's rather surprising that with all that is known from historical sources, that there's so much confusion and contention as to where these sites are actually located. Good video! 🙏✝️👑✝️🙏
And according to you Bob, the temple was built over a trash heap. The temple mt did have water from aqueducts from Bethlehem . That was was running constantly. Explain Hezekiahs tunnel diverting the spring down to the pool of siloam.
Deception comes from the Catholic nonsense. It's deceptions so no one will look for the truth, but ... Then you find inquiring minds poking around and unearthing truth... Love it!
My final authority says: 1 Kings 8:1 King James Version 8 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Zion.
Acts 21:32 says the soldiers and centurians ran down TO WHERE pAUL WAS tHEY DIDN'T RUN UP TO THE tEMPLE MOUNT.tHE RAND FROM THE rOMAN FORTRES dOWN TOWARD THE tEMPLE. sO CLEAR THAT THE tEMPPLE WAS BELOW THE FORT. pROOF THAT IT WAS IN THE cITY OF dAVID.
I now know from your explanation where Jesus Christ’s crucifixion was and where the Arc of the Covenant was discovered by Ron Wyatt I can now conclude that the Third Temple’s site should be built in the City of David and not on the place where the Temple Mount is located. Therefore, I will just wait in due time for this triumphant time of it’s building will happen! Alleluia Amen! 🙏🙏🙏
It's been 17 years since I was there. The temple mount actually being for the Roman Legion? I could see that. It's a large plaza, perfect for troop assembly.
The temple is located in Mount Moriah where Abraham brought Isaac and Yahweh provided the sacrifice, and on the threshing floor David purchased, the perforated stone located under the dome of the spirits on the temple Mount top. Gen 22:2 2 Sam 24:14-25 2 Chron 3:1
I do believe Solomon's Temple (and the others) were in the City of David, by I base it on research done by Ernest Martin, book titled. "The Temples Jerusalem Forgot", which I read in the 1990s. This was not "discovered" by Bob Cornuke, but he is in the position to publish and take credit for many things which others truly did discover. Cornuke though is using the modern techniques to spread the information. Nice info to have and good pictures, but I wish he didn't take all the credit.
This would be exciting news. However, there are a lot of issues with this theory, and it troubles me that many would believe this. I do appreciate your passion for trying to find these things, but there's just a lot here that doesn't line up and it could be misleading and potentially harmful. For example, we know for certain that some motivation for the October 7th attacks was all of the rumor around preparation for the sacrifice of the red heifers. Issues: Recent archaeological discoveries of the mikveh surrounding the southern steps of the Temple mount show they had flowing water on the Temple Mount. Additionally, threshing floors were almost never contained inside a city or behind walls as it would have impeded the airflow required for threshing to be effective. This makes the idea that the threshing floor being located inside the walls unlikely, especially given that nearby threshing floors, like those in Samaria (1 Kings 16), were located outside the city gates. Even more, David was instructed to buy a threshing floor on Mount Moriah, which is certainly not inside the former Jebusite fortress (City of David), but rather to the north. Chronicles 3 states "on Mount Moriah" being the location of Ornan the Jebusite's threshing floor, which makes sense as it would be higher, windier, and outside the confines of the City of David. Additionally, there are no areas physically large or flat enough on the hillside where the City of David is located that would have supported either a threshing floor, or something matching the measurements of Solomon's Temple. All that said, I am not an archaeologist, but I am a Jewish Christian pastor and have walked the land and follows Biblical archaeology closely. To my knowledge, no historical evidence has been found to strongly support the 1st Temple being located south of Moriah. I don't have friends that have shown me their basements in Silwan, but I do know that there are tombs located all around the old city, not just the City of David. It's also unlikely that Jews would have forgotten the location of the Temple, as you seem to suggest. Also, as others have stated, the Temple mount matches the measurements of the Herodian Temple complex. Additionally, scripture, like Micah, taken out of context can easily "prove" whatever we want. It was a prophecy telling the rulers and leaders that there would be complete upheaval in Zion - not that it would become a literal farm field. One could also argue that the lack of trees resulting from the tree tax disproves the same prophecy when it speaks of "the house as the high places of a forest." It's poor exegetical work. The additional reference to Josephus - the Ophel is only the beginning of the Temple Mount, not the precise location of the Temple. What is the Ophel? It's an acropolis - the hill upon which a temple complex is built. Again, this is poor work, especially when you consider that most of the ruins of the City of David from even the Herodian period require digging down at least 30-40 feet. You're never going to casually observe any of these sites. A simple comparative observation between Roman architecture of that period and Herodian architecture makes it abundantly clear that the Temple mount structures are not Roman. Given that Roman 10th Legion stamped bricks have been found around but are not present in any of the Temple mount structures makes this more apparent, especially when coupled with the Roman destruction of the Temple mount in 70AD, of which plenty of archaeological evidence remains, such as Herodian-style stones in piles around the outside of the Temple complex. Fortress Antonia was located directly north and west of the Temple, and has been partially excavated underground - 30-40 feet under which is the norm for 2nd Temple period discoveries, including some of those same cisterns and aqueducts you refer to, and it is said to have loomed over the Sanhedrin which is known to have been at the north of the Temple complex. Additionally, the foundation stones of the Temple Mount are cut in the Herodian style, not in the Roman style, as can be seen in Tombs of the Patriarchs complex in Hebron. They are nearly identical in style, and bear no likeness to Roman structures. You also fail to address the presence of the many Temple gates, all of which have been discovered in their correctly described locations around the Temple Mount. Even more poor exegetical work: Mark 15 is what I'm assuming you're basing the centurion seeing the veil split. In the Greek, Mark 15:37-39 contains multiple, disparate narrative statements, the last of which was specific that when the centurion "saw how he died" - not that the veil had been torn. No "line of sight" would have revealed the Holy Place or Most Holy Place to a casual observer from over a 1/4 mile away to see the veil torn. The only witnesses would have been those with access to the Holy Place (not Holy of Holies), so eye witness accounts would have been a problem EXCEPT that John 18:15 indicates that John and Peter were known to the High Priest and the others and could have been made aware of their eyewitness accounts of this happening later. This is a seriously unsupported assertion that the centurion witnessed anything other than what was happening directly in front of him, like earthquakes and lightning, and more specifically Jesus dying. I understand that this is a short video, and you need to be concise. However, if you are going to be accurate, use scripture properly through exegetical process, especially when teaching around an eschatological topic like the building of the 3rd Temple, you need to be intellectually honest. I think you are finding the facts you need to prove your suppositions and theories, rather than archaeological and historical fact, and bending scripture with poor exegetical work to your needs.
There is overwhelming evidence, both archeological and written, that supports the traditional Temple Mount to be the correct location for the Temple and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to be the correct location for the crucifixion and burial of Jesus. I didn't hear or see any specific evidence in this video, archeological or other, to support Mr. Cornuke's theory or to refute the traditional locations. I did hear a bit of self-promotion and suggestive speculation. Thanks for being so thorough in your comment.
Why do I know the temple was on the temple mount? Here is my story and I want to say I'm not a person who has ever had this sort of experience before or since. I went to Israel for 1 week as a solo female traveler. I took a tour where you go under the Western Wall Kotel. During the tour there was a point where I spiritually felt what I can only describe as an echo of the Glory of God. I stopped walking and stood still. I walked a little ahead and didn't feel anything. Went back and felt again. I didn't want to leave but the tour had moved on. At the end of the tour I asked if I could go back there to pray. I went back again. I don't really have words to describe this adequately. I'm NOT an emotional sort of person. I went to Israel to see the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Kotel since that Kotel is shown on TV a lot. To this day I don't share my experience but I share it now.
@@benjaminblum9587 Glad to hear that your experience was similar. It is hard to describe it in words but it was the most beautiful experience I ever had. I was so in awe afterwards I got on the wrong public bus and ended up in Mea Sherim which is an ultra Orthodox area. Luckily 3 nice ladies walked me to a stop where I could get a bus to the hostel and they waited until the bus came and told the driver in Hebrew. Really very kind! Can you share your experience?
Bob, my main question is, how could the Centurion at the site of the crucifixion, see the vail torn in two when the curtain was INSIDE the Temple? There were no open ceilings without a roof, that would enable anyone outside the Temple to see the vail inside. Thanks.
This was my question as well. I agree with the archaeological evidence presented here but you keep saying that that the centurian saw the veil of the Temple ripped in two. Where does Scripture say this?
@@amyhenningsgard8618it’s in Matthew 27 starting at verse 51. “At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split 52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people. 54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”
@@CB3168X Yes, he could see the earthquake among other things that happened, but I see no way that he could see the veil INSIDE the temple. Please answer this.
Jews will never build the 3rd temple in the city of David, the Temple Mount Institute and both schools of archaeology agree without a doubt that the temple was in the Temple Mount.
Love y'all,, not to contest. But wasn't Christ crucified on Mt Mariah, where Abraham offered Issac north of the temple?.. I could be wrong. Either way, CHRIST is coming... Love y'all , thank you
Problem with the city of David for the Temple may be getting a good flow of water to constantly wash the blood from the sacrifices. If water wasn't available in bigly quantities you'd have a horrible stench in the area where sacrifices would take place ...
Yes, and according to scripture, there was a LOT of water there, which is why the temple was built at that location. And that water is STILL there to this day! Plus in recent years, they discovered the pool. Up above where the fortress was, there was no water at all. They had to build aqueducts as a water delivery system.
@@kenoverby7134 Matthew 13:53-55 KJV And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. [54] And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? [55] Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? Jesus was a carpenter also like his earthly father.
agree But i thought there was speculation that the Tomb of The Holy Sepulchre could be Hyrcanus’s tomb? Golgotha would have to be where red heifer killed which was across the Miphkad Bridge How come nobody talks about the Miphkad Bridge’s possible site?
There are several theories on where Golgotha or Calvary (place of the skull) was located. Some believe that it is the place in or around Jerusalem where David placed Goliath’s severed head after he killed him-likely the Mount of Olives. I tend to think this too. Geographically, it makes sense in relation to the temple curtain being seen ripped in two from that vantage point, but also symbolically and phonetically (Goliath of Gath/Golgotha).
@@CB3168X Roman customer was to make crucifixions well known and in a place where many people would be able to witness them! Instilling fear of their power and authority! And there is a main road that passes right by where the location has been found! Right next to a cliff that is part of golgatha! We know where the exact spot the cross was placed in too!
Sorry Bob, I lean towards Ron Wyatt and his location for the Temple / Garden Tomb/ Ark of the Covenant since he ACTUALLY FOUND the Ark of the Covenant 🤨 in 1982…
The third temple has already been rebuilt by Jesus on the third day. Believers in Jesus (his life, death, and resurrection) are the third temple. God does not need physical temple any longer to live in, he now lives in us. I know... mind blowing... all true.
@@abqbarbie I 100% promise you it says in the scripture it says to not build the alter up on steps or a mountain top cause you'll be exposed to the Lord. Let's find it together and share the scripture, okay? I don't remember exactly where it is but I know I read it in the Hebrew bible/books of Moses.
Wasn’t the upper regions given over to the pagan temples and phallic groves? I think “ being higher” was a big deal to them and the temple was below that? As well, you know the Romans required the high ground when they came.
In The Jewish War, by Josephus, he records that Antonia "...was erected upon a rock of fifty cubits in height, and was on a great precipice..." that sounds like the Antonia, not the temple, was built over the dome of the rock to me - question answered!
Bob, wouldn't it make sense that a map was taken to GB by Teia Tephi? Doesn't it make sense that Warren had that map of where the temple was given him by Queen Victoria? And, wouldn't it make sense that the Rothchild family purchased the City of David and waited until the appropriate time for this to be revealed? It is my belief the Ark of the Covenant's location is known. If ever you go back, let me know. I'm waiting to go with an intelligent tour.
I've been saying that for years.. The rock under the dome ofthe rock is not smoothe like what a threshing floor is supposed to be! It couldnt be the floor of the Temple!
@@ryankilgore6647 i think you better go back to the OT and read the details, specifics, about exactly where God said the first temple was suppised to be built.
@@cherylcobern4483 vague general statements are never helpful Cheryl. Cornuke's interpretation of what the Bible is saying has been debunked by using the Bible itself. You clearly have never studied every context and perspective of the scriptures Cornuke uses, especially his interpretation of what the Bible refers to when it says "the City of David". Stop adhering to one ministry to get your comprehensive understanding of the bible. Adhere to the Bible only...not Cornuke and his friends. That is the only way to get the correct understanding.

Question? If the Temple was in the City of David. Where are the stones from the Temple that were thrown down by the Romans in 70 AD? The only stones that were thrown down is by the Temple Mount where the Dome of the Rock is. If there is stones where you say the Temple once stood then I would believe you.
The temple stones are buried underground after thousands of years. They 'accidentally' discovered the pilgrimage road by the pool of Shiloah and have been digging 24/7/365 to see where it leads. It leads directly to the Ophel. th-cam.com/video/aaXbN1RX8X0/w-d-xo.html Interesting!
I would assume the stones were broken up and have long disappeared and/or been repurposed for other buildings. Especially since there was farmland there in the early 1900s (just as Micah prophesied).
th-cam.com/video/OqzfD5_Xb2s/w-d-xo.html The few remaining temple stones are at the end of the eastern cardo which meets up at the end of the pilgrimage road being excavated underground beginning at the pool of Siloam.

She didnt find the city of david. She found the location of the temple built by the israelites. The whole area around the temple mount and around it is the city of david. His residence at the top of the mount now which is called temple mount was the castle of the king. The discovered area below the temple mount was the area the temple was located. It turn like that now destroyed and hidden from everyone was because it was destroyed by the roman empire and buried. The roman did speak of the location of the temple turned desolate made as garbage and shit dump. They throw all kind of shit and garbage on the temple site. Thats why it was forgotten. The lady that found it to be the city of david in last reckonize it to be the location of the temple of god but too late i think few month later she passed away.
Yes. in one of Cornukes videos, he mentioned how he had discovered earlier research. He just picked up where others left off, and of course there has been more archeological discoveries since then.

Right now I miss Chuck Mistler so much. He would’ve lit up like a star. I think you guys are onto something more true than any other temple mount sites and videos I’ve seen thank you so much for this gift.

And Cornuke wasn't the first. There had been research prior...if I recall correctly 60's and early 70's. Bob just picked up the ball and ran with it; continuing research. On-going archeology in the old City of David giving more weight to his proposal. Very exciting indeed!

Great job Bob. Looks like you discovered even more evidence. Keep up the good work brother.
This is absolutely amazing. 🤯✝
I learned several years ago that the 2nd Temple was in the City of David. Like you said, it was vehemently denied by those who insisted it was on the Temple Mount. I go with the City of David. It's more logical.
I agree - much evidence for that site -
my question would be where is the place of the skull in that area
Great discovery using facts and eyewitness accounts from historical sources, most importantly the Bible. Well done.
Great job, Bob. Chuck was very fond of this idea. I believe you're on the right path.
Totally 👍 agree
yes, I was viewing one of Chuck's teachings on You Tube and he mentioned there was some research going on at that very moment making some exciting discoveries. I believe he would have been 100% on board.
Bob, thank you for this update. My June 2016 Living Passages tour with you and Frank Turek was the most amazing experience in my life.
The day after we walked on the likely ground of the real temple and waded through the Gihon Spring to the Pool of Siloam, I was so honored to lead worship in the Garden of Gethsemene singing, "I see the Lord seated on the throne, exalted. And the train of his robe fills the temple with glory. And the whole earth is filled with His glory. HOLY IS THE LORD!"
After that you took us on a walk through the Kidron Valley and happened to meet up with your Silwan friend and talked him into leading our entire group into the neighborhood with the tombs. Absolutely amazing!
I said it then and I'll say it again, as a professional Information Specialist/Faculty Librarian I very much appreciate your approach to research and investigation. I commend you for thinking outside the box and following where the evidence leads.

New Covenant Whole Gospel: How many modern Christians cannot honestly answer the questions below?
Who is the King of Israel in John 1:49? Is the King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are we His Body? Who is the “son” that is the “heir” to the land in Matthew 21:37-43? Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34 in blood at Calvary?
What the modern Church needs is a New Covenant Revival (Heb. 9:10) in which members of various denominations are willing to re-examine everything they believe and see if it agrees with the Bible, instead of the traditions of men. We need to be like the Bereans. It will be a battle between our flesh and the Holy Spirit. It will not be easy. If you get mad and upset when someone challenges your man-made Bible doctrines, that is your flesh resisting the truth found in God's Word. Nobody can completely understand the Bible unless they understand the relationship between the Old Covenant given to Moses at Mount Sinai and the New Covenant fulfilled in blood at Calvary.
Proof the 70th week of Daniel was fulfilled in the past:
Based on Hebrews 12:22-24, the Messiah’s death in Daniel 9:26 cannot be separated from the New Covenant fulfilled by His blood at Calvary. See the words "church" and "mount Sion" and "new covenant" and "Jesus" and "blood" in the passage.
Are we supposed to believe the angel Gabriel appeared to Daniel to reveal the timeline of the Messiah who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34, and then the angel failed to even mention the New Covenant. Or, is the covenant with the many in Daniel 9:27 the same covenant with the many in Matthew 26:28? The 1599 Geneva Bible is the Bible the Pilgrims brought to America, before John Darby showed up on our shores about the time of the Civil War. What was the earlier understanding of Daniel 9:27 found below in the notes of the 1599 Geneva Bible?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dan 9:27 And he shal confirme the couenant with many for one weeke: and in the middes of the weeke he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the ouerspreading of the abominations, he shall make it desolate, euen vntill the consummation determined shalbe powred vpon the desolate.
Daniel 9:27
And he (a) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to (b) cease, (c) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
(a) By the preaching of the Gospel he affirmed his promise, first to the Jews, and after to the Gentiles.
(b) Christ accomplished this by his death and resurrection.
(c) Meaning that Jerusalem and the sanctuary would be utterly destroyed because of their rebellion against God, and their idolatry: or as some read, that the plague will be so great, that they will all be astonished at them.
Blessings to you, thank you for your diligence and research!
The body of Christ is so blessed to hear of your findings and research.
Remember the late Ron Wyatt, who was the first to find many of the biblical sites, he would pray and ask God for his wisdom and guidance, God would lead him directly to these ancient sites, even to the location of the holy ark of the covenant located underneath Golgotha.
Thank you, I've been saying this for years, there has been scriptural evidence that the Temple-mound was wrong, but I believe they know this, Rome has never relinquished control, they still rule the world, own 65-68% of the land of Israel. Not 1 stone was left upon another, scripture and history confirms this. But when you deny Mashiach Yahushua, you create false teachings like a fortress wall being a temple wall. Thank You, May the Almighty YHWH be honored and Praised forever!!
I agree - there seems to be scriptural and eyewitness evidence for the City of David - I would like to ask where is the place of the skull or perhaps torn down

people have a hard time dealing with the fact that they might be wrong. Or that they were taught wrong in light of evidence. Christians have a hard time with it too, and of course the Jews naturally have such a longing in their hearts...such a need to connect with their past and future. The clincher for me was the Gehon springs for the sacrifices and for cleansing. Up above...only aqueducts.
Thanks for this information. Very interesting. Can't wait for the rapture of the church asap!
Jesus stated, Not one stone would be left standing, so the wailing wall, is what I believe is part of the Roman fortress wall. Now as for the Ark of the covenant, I'm sticking with Ron Wyatt's account of the location and I believe the Israeli authorities have taken full control of the location.
Yes, I agree! Ron Wyatt also found the exact site of the Red Sea Crossing and artifacts of chariot wheels, etc. in the sea!
He also found the Ark of the Covenant which was located in a tiny cave directly below Jesus’ crucifixion…and when the earth quaked and His blood flowed down at His death…HIS BLOOD LANDED ON THE MERCY SEAT…and the veil was torn!!! 🙌🏼 You can find videos of it all on Brandon Peterson’s TH-cam channel “Truth is Christ”…check it out and be blessed!

Yes without political issue
Lots of confirmations on what we already knew. God is showing His truth to the whole world.

Because the Roman fort and the aquaduct came after the temple. The population of Jerusalem was max 80,000 people then but the Romans had to deal with a troublesome boarder and unruly citizens hence the fortress on top of the mountain. Jesus's turned over the tables of the money changers in a small temple and didn't even get arrested for it so yes it was in the City of David by the spring needed to wash away the blood of the slaughtered animals.
This is awesome thank you

I used to fully accept Bob Cornuke's theory and I was very excited about it. I was always frustrated why people couldn't see it. I'm telling you, I was wrong...very wrong. I've been where you are. You need to search out the objections of Cornuke...there are people who take each of Bob's points and debunk them, using the Bible and archeology.
@@ryankilgore6647troll
I really enjoyed this! Good stuff!
Watching you on Brannon Howse Live right now. Cool stuff.
Thank you so much for this!
The following proves Bob Cornuke is correct about the location of Fort Antonia.
Fort Antonia (Herod’s Praetorium, Acts 23:35) was built by Herod and given to the Romans. It was used to house the thousands of Roman soldiers needed to police the ancient city of Jerusalem.
In Acts 23:23 the Romans sent 470 soldiers to escort one man. Are we to believe all of the soldiers from the fort were sent with this one man?
During 73 AD the Jewish leader at Masada said the only thing left of Jerusalem was that which belonged to the Romans.
Mar 15:16 Then the soldiers led Him away into the hall called Praetorium, and they called together the whole garrison.
Act_23:35 he said, "I will hear you when your accusers also have come." And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's Praetorium.
Based on Acts 21:31-40, we know the Roman fort was above the temple because the soldiers had to go “down” to rescue Paul from the mob at the temple. Paul later spoke to the crowd below from the steps, as he was being taken up to Fort Antonia.
The following comes from Wars of the Jews, by Flavius Josephus, Book 5, Chapter 5, Section 8.
“8. Now as to the tower of Antonia, it was situated at the corner of two cloisters of the court of the temple; of that on the west, and that on the north; it was erected upon a rock of fifty cubits in height, and was on a great precipice; it was the work of king Herod, wherein he demonstrated his natural magnanimity. In the first place, the rock itself was covered over with smooth pieces of stone, from its foundation, both for ornament, and that any one who would either try to get up or to go down it might not be able to hold his feet upon it. Next to this, and before you come to the edifice of the tower itself, there was a wall three cubits high; but within that wall all the space of the tower of Antonia itself was built upon, to the height of forty cubits. The inward parts had the largeness and form of a palace, it being parted into all kinds of rooms and other conveniences, such as courts, and places for bathing, and broad spaces for camps; insomuch that, by having all conveniences that cities wanted, it might seem to be composed of several cities, but by its magnificence it seemed a palace. And as the entire structure resembled that of a tower, it contained also four other distinct towers at its four corners; whereof the others were but fifty cubits high; whereas that which lay upon the southeast corner was seventy cubits high, that from thence the whole temple might be viewed; but on the corner where it joined to the two cloisters of the temple, it had passages down to them both, through which the guard (for there always lay in this tower a Roman legion) went several ways among the cloisters, with their arms, on the Jewish festivals, in order to watch the people, that they might not there attempt to make any innovations; for the temple was a fortress that guarded the city, as was the tower of Antonia a guard to the temple; and in that tower were the guards of those three (14). There was also a peculiar fortress belonging to the upper city, which was Herod’s palace; but for the hill Bezetha, it was divided from the tower Antonia, as we have already told you; and as that hill on which the tower of Antonia stood was the highest of these three, so did it adjoin to the new city, and was the only place that hindered the sight of the temple on the north. And this shall suffice at present to have spoken about the city and the walls about it, because I have proposed to myself to make a more accurate description of it elsewhere.”
The Jewish historian Josephus said Fort Antonia was built upon a gigantic rock, on the highest hill, and had passages that went “down” to the temple. Josephus described it as a large structure, instead of what we find in Avi Yonah’s modern model of the fort. Josephus also said the fort blocked the view of the temple on the north side.
In the passage below we find the Romans used Fort Antonia as the base to attack the temple during 70 AD. They had previously gained access to the fort by attacking the foundation for seven days. (Book 6, Chapter 2, Section 7)
The passage proves at least part of Fort Antonia remained intact on the day the Jewish temple was destroyed.
From War of the Jews, by Josephus, Book 6, Chapter 4, sections 4-5.
"4. Now it is true that on this day the Jews were so weary, and under such consternation, that they refrained from any attacks. But on the next day they gathered their whole force together, and ran upon those that guarded the outward court of the temple very boldly, through the east gate, and this about the second hour of the day. These guards received that their attack with great bravery, and by covering themselves with their shields before, as if it were with a wall, they drew their squadron close together; yet was it evident that they could not abide there very long, but would be overborne by the multitude of those that sallied out upon them, and by the heat of their passion. However, Caesar seeing, from the tower of Antonia, that this squadron was likely to give way, he sent some chosen horsemen to support them. Hereupon the Jews found themselves not able to sustain their onset, and upon the slaughter of those in the forefront, many of the rest were put to flight. But as the Romans were going off, the Jews turned upon them, and fought them; and as those Romans came back upon them, they retreated again, until about the fifth hour of the day they were overborne, and shut themselves up in the inner [court of the] temple.
5. So Titus retired into the tower of Antonia, and resolved to storm the temple the next day, early in the morning, with his whole army, and to encamp round about the holy house. But as for that house, God had, for certain, long ago doomed it to the fire; and now that fatal day was come, according to the revolution of ages; it was the tenth day of the month Lous, [Ab,] upon which it was formerly burnt by the king of Babylon; although these flames took their rise from the Jews themselves, and were occasioned by them; for upon Titus’s retiring, the seditious lay still for a little while, and then attacked the Romans again, when those that guarded the holy house fought with those that quenched the fire that was burning the inner [court of the] temple; but these Romans put the Jews to flight, and proceeded as far as the holy house itself. At which time one of the soldiers, without staying for any orders, and without any concern or dread upon him at so great an undertaking, and being hurried on by a certain divine fury, snatched somewhat out of the materials that were on fire, and being lifted up by another soldier, he set fire to a golden window, through which there was a passage to the rooms that were round about the holy house, on the north side of it. As the flames went upward, the Jews made a great clamor, such as so mighty an affliction required, and ran together to prevent it; and now they spared not their lives any longer, nor suffered any thing to restrain their force, since that holy house was perishing, for whose sake it was that they kept such a guard about it."
All of this provides tremendous evidence that the Dome of the Rock is the true location of Fort Antonia. Josephus said Fort Antonia was built upon a gigantic rock and that rock has not moved.
If at least part of Fort Antonia remained on the day the temple was destroyed, where is that part of Fort Antonia now?
Watch the TH-cam video… The “Temple Mount” is Roman Fort Antonia, by Leeland Jones, to see the truth with your own eyes. The scorpion was the symbol of the Roman Praetorian Guard, and that symbol is found on the underground section of the Western Wall.
Makes perfect sense!
That was hugely interesting. Thank you very much. I’m looking forward to see how this unfolds in the future.
Hope to hear soon Bob's tale on the latest discovery of the moat fortification on the northern end of the City of David, separating it from the "Temple Mount." The idea that the temple was built outside of the fortified city of that time seems extremely unlikely 🤔
The Temple Mount is not the site of the 2nd Temple that was destroyed as predicted by Christ.
The Temple Mount is actually the Roman Fort Antonia. The 2nd Temple is located just south in the City of David. Therefore building the 3rd temple can begin today.
All of this is confirmed in the Book of Daniel.
Daniel recounts where a small stone is thrown at the feet of a huge statue made of iron and clay destroying it.
This is exactly the picture of the 2nd Temple (hint: small stone) where it sits in the City of David at the foot of the Roman Fort Antonia (hint: huge statue made of iron and clay).
Daniel 2:31-35
New International Version
31 “Your Majesty looked, and there before you stood a large statue-an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. 32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. 34 While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.
Bob Cornuke is among the few who is standing strong for THE TRUTH of the whole
Archeological findings in the Middle East and Israel in particular.
All the others who are mostly trying to prove that their collective theories are correct, are making a huge mistake of focusing on and trying to prove the ROMAN BACED THEOLOGICAL POSITION TO BE CORRECT.
BLESS you Bob, and GOD help you to keep up your great work.
ron wright discoveries - first to bring the ark, mt sinai and others to the public.
My thoughts on this. Thank you for the video. But reading my bible it says: Mt. Olives is East of the City, the hill, the land. And that the Temple was placed on the land, facing the East. Meaning the front door was facing Mt. Olives. Therefore, the East of the Temple, would be north of the land. So that would place Golgotha, Calvary, the place of crucifixion. Just my thoughts. Thanks again.
You should investigate Ron Wyatt. May the truth set you free!
I BELIEVE YOU, BOB! JOB WELL DONE.😊
Bob I've read your book a long time ago I love your insight I have also read about the work of Charles Warren Halleluya
It's true. You really can't argue with 2 Chronicles 3:1.
"Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to David his father, at the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite."
That clearly says "City of David".

Wow!

Absolutely Right
This sounds very reasonable, but I have a couple of questions.
1. If the "temple mount" was actually the site for the Roman fortress, why was it taken down so completely? I would have thought that there might be some type of ruins left to show for it. (It WOULD be a great site for a fortress though!). I've also heard that the southern part of the Temple mount (South of the Dome of the rock, and a bit lower, which some people think is the temple location) had an aquaduct leading to it to supply water, but of course that might have been for the fortress...🤔
2. It's rather surprising that with all that is known from historical sources, that there's so much confusion and contention as to where these sites are actually located. Good video!
🙏✝️👑✝️🙏
And according to you Bob, the temple was built over a trash heap. The temple mt did have water from aqueducts from Bethlehem . That was was running constantly. Explain Hezekiahs tunnel diverting the spring down to the pool of siloam.
Thank you 🙏😁🕊🔥
Deception comes from the Catholic nonsense. It's deceptions so no one will look for the truth, but ... Then you find inquiring minds poking around and unearthing truth... Love it!

My final authority says:
1 Kings 8:1
King James Version
8 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Zion.
Acts 21:32 says the soldiers and centurians ran down TO WHERE pAUL WAS tHEY DIDN'T RUN UP TO THE tEMPLE MOUNT.tHE RAND FROM THE rOMAN FORTRES dOWN TOWARD THE tEMPLE. sO CLEAR THAT THE tEMPPLE WAS BELOW THE FORT. pROOF THAT IT WAS IN THE cITY OF dAVID.
I now know from your explanation where Jesus Christ’s crucifixion was and where the Arc of the Covenant was discovered by Ron Wyatt I can now conclude that the Third Temple’s site should be built in the City of David and not on the place where the Temple Mount is located. Therefore, I will just wait in due time for this triumphant time of it’s building will happen! Alleluia Amen! 🙏🙏🙏
After Hezekiah had dug his tunnel, that diverted your water source away from your temple
All this energy and debating for years about a gone temple yet people need Christ now
It's been 17 years since I was there. The temple mount actually being for the Roman Legion? I could see that. It's a large plaza, perfect for troop assembly.
I have not for many years believed that the dome of the rock is standing on the place of the Temple.
Curious, you keep using the term international Church? Why not universal Church? I do believe it was the Catholic church. Catholic meaning universal.
The temple is located in Mount Moriah where Abraham brought Isaac and Yahweh provided the sacrifice, and on the threshing floor David purchased, the perforated stone located under the dome of the spirits on the temple Mount top.

I do believe Solomon's Temple (and the others) were in the City of David, by I base it on research done by Ernest Martin, book titled. "The Temples Jerusalem Forgot", which I read in the 1990s. This was not "discovered" by Bob Cornuke, but he is in the position to publish and take credit for many things which others truly did discover. Cornuke though is using the modern techniques to spread the information. Nice info to have and good pictures, but I wish he didn't take all the credit.
This would be exciting news. However, there are a lot of issues with this theory, and it troubles me that many would believe this. I do appreciate your passion for trying to find these things, but there's just a lot here that doesn't line up and it could be misleading and potentially harmful. For example, we know for certain that some motivation for the October 7th attacks was all of the rumor around preparation for the sacrifice of the red heifers.
Issues: Recent archaeological discoveries of the mikveh surrounding the southern steps of the Temple mount show they had flowing water on the Temple Mount. Additionally, threshing floors were almost never contained inside a city or behind walls as it would have impeded the airflow required for threshing to be effective. This makes the idea that the threshing floor being located inside the walls unlikely, especially given that nearby threshing floors, like those in Samaria (1 Kings 16), were located outside the city gates. Even more, David was instructed to buy a threshing floor on Mount Moriah, which is certainly not inside the former Jebusite fortress (City of David), but rather to the north. Chronicles 3 states "on Mount Moriah" being the location of Ornan the Jebusite's threshing floor, which makes sense as it would be higher, windier, and outside the confines of the City of David. Additionally, there are no areas physically large or flat enough on the hillside where the City of David is located that would have supported either a threshing floor, or something matching the measurements of Solomon's Temple.
All that said, I am not an archaeologist, but I am a Jewish Christian pastor and have walked the land and follows Biblical archaeology closely. To my knowledge, no historical evidence has been found to strongly support the 1st Temple being located south of Moriah. I don't have friends that have shown me their basements in Silwan, but I do know that there are tombs located all around the old city, not just the City of David. It's also unlikely that Jews would have forgotten the location of the Temple, as you seem to suggest. Also, as others have stated, the Temple mount matches the measurements of the Herodian Temple complex.
Additionally, scripture, like Micah, taken out of context can easily "prove" whatever we want. It was a prophecy telling the rulers and leaders that there would be complete upheaval in Zion - not that it would become a literal farm field. One could also argue that the lack of trees resulting from the tree tax disproves the same prophecy when it speaks of "the house as the high places of a forest." It's poor exegetical work.
The additional reference to Josephus - the Ophel is only the beginning of the Temple Mount, not the precise location of the Temple. What is the Ophel? It's an acropolis - the hill upon which a temple complex is built. Again, this is poor work, especially when you consider that most of the ruins of the City of David from even the Herodian period require digging down at least 30-40 feet. You're never going to casually observe any of these sites. A simple comparative observation between Roman architecture of that period and Herodian architecture makes it abundantly clear that the Temple mount structures are not Roman. Given that Roman 10th Legion stamped bricks have been found around but are not present in any of the Temple mount structures makes this more apparent, especially when coupled with the Roman destruction of the Temple mount in 70AD, of which plenty of archaeological evidence remains, such as Herodian-style stones in piles around the outside of the Temple complex.
Fortress Antonia was located directly north and west of the Temple, and has been partially excavated underground - 30-40 feet under which is the norm for 2nd Temple period discoveries, including some of those same cisterns and aqueducts you refer to, and it is said to have loomed over the Sanhedrin which is known to have been at the north of the Temple complex. Additionally, the foundation stones of the Temple Mount are cut in the Herodian style, not in the Roman style, as can be seen in Tombs of the Patriarchs complex in Hebron. They are nearly identical in style, and bear no likeness to Roman structures. You also fail to address the presence of the many Temple gates, all of which have been discovered in their correctly described locations around the Temple Mount.
Even more poor exegetical work: Mark 15 is what I'm assuming you're basing the centurion seeing the veil split. In the Greek, Mark 15:37-39 contains multiple, disparate narrative statements, the last of which was specific that when the centurion "saw how he died" - not that the veil had been torn. No "line of sight" would have revealed the Holy Place or Most Holy Place to a casual observer from over a 1/4 mile away to see the veil torn. The only witnesses would have been those with access to the Holy Place (not Holy of Holies), so eye witness accounts would have been a problem EXCEPT that John 18:15 indicates that John and Peter were known to the High Priest and the others and could have been made aware of their eyewitness accounts of this happening later. This is a seriously unsupported assertion that the centurion witnessed anything other than what was happening directly in front of him, like earthquakes and lightning, and more specifically Jesus dying.
I understand that this is a short video, and you need to be concise. However, if you are going to be accurate, use scripture properly through exegetical process, especially when teaching around an eschatological topic like the building of the 3rd Temple, you need to be intellectually honest. I think you are finding the facts you need to prove your suppositions and theories, rather than archaeological and historical fact, and bending scripture with poor exegetical work to your needs.
There is overwhelming evidence, both archeological and written, that supports the traditional Temple Mount to be the correct location for the Temple and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to be the correct location for the crucifixion and burial of Jesus. I didn't hear or see any specific evidence in this video, archeological or other, to support Mr. Cornuke's theory or to refute the traditional locations. I did hear a bit of self-promotion and suggestive speculation. Thanks for being so thorough in your comment.
Spot on and well done!
Why do I know the temple was on the temple mount? Here is my story and I want to say I'm not a person who has ever had this sort of experience before or since. I went to Israel for 1 week as a solo female traveler. I took a tour where you go under the Western Wall Kotel. During the tour there was a point where I spiritually felt what I can only describe as an echo of the Glory of God. I stopped walking and stood still. I walked a little ahead and didn't feel anything. Went back and felt again. I didn't want to leave but the tour had moved on. At the end of the tour I asked if I could go back there to pray. I went back again. I don't really have words to describe this adequately. I'm NOT an emotional sort of person. I went to Israel to see the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Kotel since that Kotel is shown on TV a lot. To this day I don't share my experience but I share it now.
My husband and I had a very similar experience to yours.
@@benjaminblum9587 Glad to hear that your experience was similar. It is hard to describe it in words but it was the most beautiful experience I ever had. I was so in awe afterwards I got on the wrong public bus and ended up in Mea Sherim which is an ultra Orthodox area. Luckily 3 nice ladies walked me to a stop where I could get a bus to the hostel and they waited until the bus came and told the driver in Hebrew. Really very kind! Can you share your experience?
nice
Bob, my main question is, how could the Centurion at the site of the crucifixion, see the vail torn in two when the curtain was INSIDE the Temple? There were no open ceilings without a roof, that would enable anyone outside the Temple to see the vail inside. Thanks.
This was my question as well. I agree with the archaeological evidence presented here but you keep saying that that the centurian saw the veil of the Temple ripped in two. Where does Scripture say this?
My question too!! What scripture says that a centurion saw the temple veil be torn?
@@amyhenningsgard8618it’s in Matthew 27 starting at verse 51. “At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split
52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”
@@CB3168X Yes, he could see the earthquake among other things that happened, but I see no way that he could see the veil INSIDE the temple. Please answer this.
@@jesusrevival-ministriessan3016 just give him a break here...
Bob, I like how you think outside the box (trapezoid). We should collaborate.
And now they will build the 3rd Temple….
Jews will never build the 3rd temple in the city of David, the Temple Mount Institute and both schools of archaeology agree without a doubt that the temple was in the Temple Mount.
Love y'all,, not to contest. But wasn't Christ crucified on Mt Mariah, where Abraham offered Issac north of the temple?.. I could be wrong. Either way, CHRIST is coming... Love y'all , thank you
that IS mt. Moriah of the OT. It was just called something else thousands of years later. Different name, same location.
What do you say about Ron Wyatt and his discoveries, Bob?
😂
Problem with the city of David for the Temple may be getting a good flow of water to constantly wash the blood from the sacrifices. If water wasn't available in bigly quantities you'd have a horrible stench in the area where sacrifices would take place ...
Yes, and according to scripture, there was a LOT of water there, which is why the temple was built at that location. And that water is STILL there to this day! Plus in recent years, they discovered the pool. Up above where the fortress was, there was no water at all. They had to build aqueducts as a water delivery system.
Jesus was a Carpenter for a reason. Measure twice at two different perspectives and cut once.
The sharpest blade.
😂 laborer stone mason not carpenter 😂

Matthew 13:53-55 KJV
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. [54] And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? [55] Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
Jesus was a carpenter also like his earthly father.
@@kenoverby7134who taught you that ?
Every astronaut that's been to space had been a freemason. #goodday
agree
But i thought there was speculation that the Tomb of The Holy Sepulchre could be Hyrcanus’s tomb?
Golgotha would have to be where red heifer killed which was across the Miphkad Bridge
How come nobody talks about the Miphkad Bridge’s possible site?
Christ was crucified at golgatha, not the mt. Of olives!
There are several theories on where Golgotha or Calvary (place of the skull) was located. Some believe that it is the place in or around Jerusalem where David placed Goliath’s severed head after he killed him-likely the Mount of Olives. I tend to think this too. Geographically, it makes sense in relation to the temple curtain being seen ripped in two from that vantage point, but also symbolically and phonetically (Goliath of Gath/Golgotha).
@@CB3168X Roman customer was to make crucifixions well known and in a place where many people would be able to witness them! Instilling fear of their power and authority! And there is a main road that passes right by where the location has been found! Right next to a cliff that is part of golgatha! We know where the exact spot the cross was placed in too!
Sorry Bob, I lean towards Ron Wyatt and his location for the Temple / Garden Tomb/ Ark of the Covenant since he ACTUALLY FOUND the Ark of the Covenant 🤨 in 1982…
The third temple has already been rebuilt by Jesus on the third day. Believers in Jesus (his life, death, and resurrection) are the third temple. God does not need physical temple any longer to live in, he now lives in us. I know... mind blowing... all true.
I mean it says to not build an alter on a mountain top, so it very much makes sense the actual temple wasn't built on the mountain top
Where are you saying it says not to?
@@abqbarbie I 100% promise you it says in the scripture it says to not build the alter up on steps or a mountain top cause you'll be exposed to the Lord. Let's find it together and share the scripture, okay? I don't remember exactly where it is but I know I read it in the Hebrew bible/books of Moses.
@@abqbarbie the OT refers to the "high places". Plus, there was no water for sacrifice or cleansing where the Dome of the Rock is.
@@endrankluvsda4loko172 you're correct. The OT refers to "the high places". Where sacrifices were made to idols.
This may be where the new Temple will be built. I was wondering how it could be built on the Temple Mount
Wasn’t the upper regions given over to the pagan temples and phallic groves? I think “ being higher” was a big deal to them and the temple was below that?
As well, you know the Romans required the high ground when they came.
In The Jewish War, by Josephus, he records that Antonia "...was erected upon a rock of fifty cubits in height, and was on a great precipice..." that sounds like the Antonia, not the temple, was built over the dome of the rock to me - question answered!
Bob, wouldn't it make sense that a map was taken to GB by Teia Tephi? Doesn't it make sense that Warren had that map of where the temple was given him by Queen Victoria? And, wouldn't it make sense that the Rothchild family purchased the City of David and waited until the appropriate time for this to be revealed? It is my belief the Ark of the Covenant's location is known. If ever you go back, let me know. I'm waiting to go with an intelligent tour.
I've been saying that for years.. The rock under the dome ofthe rock is not smoothe like what a threshing floor is supposed to be! It couldnt be the floor of the Temple!
Me too sis. The description in Scripture gives the location.
@@lonecrusaider 😊👍🏻💗
@@ryankilgore6647 i think you better go back to the OT and read the details, specifics, about exactly where God said the first temple was suppised to be built.
@@cherylcobern4483 vague general statements are never helpful Cheryl.
Cornuke's interpretation of what the Bible is saying has been debunked by using the Bible itself. You clearly have never studied every context and perspective of the scriptures Cornuke uses, especially his interpretation of what the Bible refers to when it says "the City of David". Stop adhering to one ministry to get your comprehensive understanding of the bible. Adhere to the Bible only...not Cornuke and his friends. That is the only way to get the correct understanding.
@@cherylcobern4483 Cheryl here is your wakeup call....the dinensions that the Bible gives for the temple platform...you can walk up on the dome of the rock platform and see the stone construction markers of those exact dimensions. Its measures out.
Aristeas also said the Jordan River runs to the Mediterranean. It does not
Name one Bible verse that says the Temple was located on the sight of the Gihon Springs. I'll wait...
It is not in the city of David.
Why was the place you say was where Yahushua/Jesus was crucified called "the Place Of the Skull", Golgotha.
Is there anything there that justifies it to be call by that name?
Have you shared your findings with the Temple Institute and if so, what was their reaction?
They have soundly refuted this wild theory
I heard a rumor that the Tabernacle of Moses could be hidden away in Qumran.
Something else to ponder about. Very detail presentation, including various views.
I think, there is is a more plausible location of the temple than the Bob Cornuke' one. .
THE TRUE LOCATION OF THE JERUSALEM TEMPLE (FINAL EPISODE!)

The mt was plowed as well
Question? If the Temple was in the City of David. Where are the stones from the Temple that were thrown down by the Romans in 70 AD? The only stones that were thrown down is by the Temple Mount where the Dome of the Rock is. If there is stones where you say the Temple once stood then I would believe you.
The temple stones are buried underground after thousands of years. They 'accidentally' discovered the pilgrimage road by the pool of Shiloah and have been digging 24/7/365 to see where it leads. It leads directly to the Ophel. th-cam.com/video/aaXbN1RX8X0/w-d-xo.html Interesting!
I would assume the stones were broken up and have long disappeared and/or been repurposed for other buildings. Especially since there was farmland there in the early 1900s (just as Micah
prophesied).
@@CB3168X th-cam.com/video/lw50i9btO3I/w-d-xo.html
Why, then, did that not happen to the stones scattered about by the traditional location of the Temple Mt? @ClaireB3168
th-cam.com/video/OqzfD5_Xb2s/w-d-xo.html The few remaining temple stones are at the end of the eastern cardo which meets up at the end of the pilgrimage road being excavated underground beginning at the pool of Siloam. Question? Why are we looking for temple stones when Jesus said no one would be left upon another? Matt 24:1-2
God will show Israel where to build the temple. I believe the site of the Holy of Holies will be revealed when the Ark of the Covenant is revealed.
All of you need to research on your own.
So, question: where are the city gates in the city of David?
Does anyone know what happened to the original broken pieces of the ten commandments tablets that God carved ?!
