      Mark 13:14-19 14"When you see 'the abomination that causes desolation' standing where it does not belong-let the reader understand-then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now-and never to be equaled again.
      Matthew 8:10
      When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. 11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

      prophet Muhammad ascended to Heaven in a cave which is underneath the dome of the rock not on the rock which is shown in this video. Plz don't listen to white boy tourist who got his information from a Jewish tour guide.. none Muslims are not even allowed to go inside of the dome of the rock.

    The reason why the Dome of the Rock was probably fairly empty when you went was because you entered as a non-Muslim during a specific time which doesn't tend to coincide with actual Muslim prayer times (according to the sun). When I went to the Dome of the Rock and Masjid-ul Aqsa, it was FILLED with people. You can pray at the Dome of the Rock, and the people gathered to pray went all the way outside the doors.
    Well that was my experience when I went in 2017.

    The Temples were not located over the rock. Modifications to the Herodian-era floor of the plaza have all but hidden the correct location. It was rediscovered a few years ago when the wells started refilling, causing some tiles to be pulled up. The Sanctum Sanctorum is under one of the gazebo-like structures.

    The earliest mosques do indeed look a lot like churches. For example take a look at the Ummayad Mosque of Damascus. (Muslims believe Jesus will descend from sky onto the mosque's eastern minaret-known as the "Minaret of Jesus")
    Also, here is little something I once heard an Imam say regarding the "temple mount". (I'm paraphrasing from vague memory)
    _"When Umer(Caliph) entered Jerusalem, he entered in peace. Chief christian priest took him to the main church, and invited him to offer his prayers, but he declined saying'if i pray here, future Muslims will convert it into a mosque' and asked to be taken to the Solomon's temple. Was shown a pile of rubble instead. So he ordered construction. And then allowed Jews to settle in the city after a long period of roman rule_
    _Jews call the mosque/temple/place haBet haMaqdash, whilst Muslims call it alBait alMuqaddas. It is therefore the same temple, that was prophesized to be built, and Umer, and by extension Muhammad, was the messiah who rebuilt it and allowed the Jews to live in the city once more."_

      I personally believe microbial life is product of or at least the effect of interdimensional life...which many traditions and religious texts do mention. The solar system as well as a vast cosmos is common theme too (unless you're a fundamentalist Christian/flat earther) so not sure where you got that idea...

      Taking absolutely Nothing away from Judah, Jerusalem and Israel; we recognize that The LORD has Above All Else a Holy Heart of Compassion for the Lost... Even Nineveh. To wit, He pursued Jonah with storm and a great fish to Re-deliver him to The LORD's Holy Purposes of Repentance even to Her inhabitants, because of His Lovingkindness.
      Vengeance is His Alone, and my task per the words of Christ Himself is to Love; 1st- The LORD my G0D, with all my heart, my soul and my mind, then my neighbor as myself, and lastly... those who are not only His enemies, but my own... all the while refusing to Compromise with the world system of harlotry, idolatry and self righteousness that sets itself up against the Knowledge of Almighty G0D through Christ Jesus.
      These days that seems a tall order, what with Rome occupying every corridor, catacomb and causeway, but in the fires of adversity, the dross and chaff are consumed, leaving only the gold, silver, precious stone and wheat through which our Beloved Lord's Table is set in the presence of our enemies, my friend.

I heard that the ummiyad khalifa who built it was not in control of Hijaz, was in conflict with it's rulers and did not want people from the Levant (who were loyal to him and many were new converts to Islam, some from Christianity) to go to pilgrimage to Mecca and be influenced to turn against him by the rulers of Hijaz. So, he built this shrine to give them an alternative for their pilgrimage. This video has evidence to back up the assumption. Thank you. Great channel too.

      Entrance to the inner court of the Jewish temples was only permitted to Jews who had gone through ritual purification. If I'm not mistaken, the outer court was open to all, but maybe only Jews whether pure or not. There were a few rings, each getting more restrictive - up to the holy of holies as mentioned in the video.
      In current day Jewish holy sites and synagogues there are no restrictions on access, and non-Jews can even potentially observe during prayer services.

      Well, a lot of churches, particularly Catholic churches Orthodox churches, and some Lutheran Churches don't allow unbelievers to take part in communion. That's the most similar thing Christianity has to not allowing non-believers to go to a certain place pr take part in activities. However, even that is not a universal thing, since most Protestant churches will allow anyone who comes into it take part in communion, though anyone who is an unbeliever probably won't get much out of it.
      Christians have no need for ritual purity, since Christians believe that the presence and spirit of God is in the hearts of all Christian people, not confined and Christians believe that we are free in Christ to go anywhere we please.
      After Jesus was crucified, there was a small earthquake and the shroud that covered the entrance to the Holy of Holies in the 2nd Temple was ripped in half, which is taken as a sign that that's no longer a "no-go zone," so to speak.

      Just for clarification, in temple times there was a "Court of the Gentiles" on Temple Mount. A notice has been found, written in Greek, stating effectively do not pass this point on pain of death.

      Back in those days there were no Christians and Muslims so the warning applied only to pagans.

      It is, like almost everything, still debated among Jewish religious authority, but generally speaking - there is no limit on gentiles joining Jews in prayer, synagogues and, when it was active, the Great Temple. There are only three limitations:
      Gentiles can't be counted towards the minimum of 10 Jews needed for "public prayer", they can't enter the inner circle of the temple, and they can't participate in the public reading of the Torah done on Saturdays (they can attend, but can't read out loud)

      Psalms was sung during processions.
      .
      The second temple (Zerubbabel's/

      been built in the same location or
      in the same design as Solomon's

      built around or next to the second temple.
      We do know that the temple platform
      (terrace) was expanded and that the

      building of the first temple era).

An easy solution seems to be so apparent when all faith ideologies can be appreciated for their depth in meaning within the souls of the passerbys who listen with their hearts. A soul is saved within a composite of absolutions, encapsulated at its own willingness in time as it passes through the needle. I find love as commonality in the expressive art each of these structures breathes into its lungs. I wish more architects, artists, and designers would collaborate in storytelling for all of the cultures and races that make up humanity. Perhaps lending space in every country to share inspiration and appreciation. Every human is exquisite, imagine a world where you felt a sense of home and family anywhere.

      That theory makes no sense. If that was the case, why are there mikvahs and trails leading up to the mount? How do you explain the trumpeting stone found there? The Greek warnings to gentiles found there? Walls and stones by the Eastern Gate dating back to the first Temple Mount period? The beams of cedar from Lebanon dating back to first Temple Mount period? And much more archeological evidence.
      I personally believe it was not at Dome of the Rock though, but just a bit lower by Al Aqsa.

      All of Israel is occupied territory! 2019 is the 100th anniversary of Balfour’s second declaration which totally gave Palestine to Israel!
