Hey will you get to Jainism, or Hinduism anytime soon
Your comment about animal sacrifice not being allowed made me think how many humans have been sacrificed over the last two millennia, even as recent as the twentieth century, at that spot.
In actual fact! ,the truth is, there is no other place on earth that 124 thousand PROPHETS gathered on the night of MIRAJ, where the greatest prophet MUHUMMAD SAW ascended to meet ALLAH SWT(God) personally......! most are man made, but there are some true genuine facts about different Prophets who build the foundation & the other Nabi who constructed it long before ISLAM & continued in the early eras of Islam....MAY PEACE & BLESSINGS BE SHOWED ON ALL VERY SOON.... Aameen.
I'd never noticed the different layers of the wall before. Archeology is fun.
It certainly is.
Decades of the enemy’s pollution has infatuated the hearts and minds of all nations that have shared in the intimacy of the sorceries that have functioned through the Wailing Wall. Write My judgment concerning this place of idolatry and lift it up as a standard unto the nations that what has been prized in the eyes of men has been rejected by Me. Lift ye up this standard, Child, and be not ashamed.I will bring the Wailing Wall down from its high place of idolatry where many nations have come to fortify themselves in vanity. Will you swing and pray and offer up sacrifices to stone? Can a wall speak? Will you yet stand before it and call yourselves illuminated? It shall be thrown down as a mighty mill stone that has offended My little ones. I will cut off head and tail. It shall not save thee in the day of trouble. The strong clefts of the rock, I will witness against you that all who have prayed and slid their request into you shall be ashamed. For can a prayer be fortified in idolatry? Can an idol bring it to pass? Are not idols worthless vanities and those who sacrifice to them a heathen? I will break loose and divide asunder the sorceries that have functioned through the Wailing Wall that the heathen may go free and gain knowledge. I delight not in destruction, yet I will judge the high places of the enemy and bring them down into confusion on every side.
That wall is the remains of Roman buildings and has nothing to do with jews. Titus and Hadrian annihilated jews and built their own Aelia Capitolina. It has been proven that the Temple of Solomon was not on the Temple Mount at all. Jews have been praying in front of a simple fortification Roman wall for ages. Temple of Solomon was in the city of David.
@@zikzaki7253 What are you talking about, the Lord spoke Himself through word of knowledge about what takes place at this demonic wall of prayer.
@@faithfull7576 too long didn’t read.
Two Jews were praying at The Wall. .the one ultra orthodox was swaying too and fro...banging his chest...his head against the stone wailing and stuffing notes into the cracks. The onlooker along side of him..not so religious asked him "Why all the fuss...what are you praying for?"...the orthodox Jew replied " I'm praying for world peace..the building of the third temple...the messiah to come..health and wealth for my family" " Oh really so what do you think so far?"...asked the onlooker...the orthodox replied..."Well it's like talking to the wall !!!!"
Excellent as usual! I’ve visited the wall a few times and yet every time I watch videos or read about it, I discover there’s even more to be learned.
Hey, I know you
@Genetically Modified Skeptic Nice to see you here GMS. 😎
I visited the Western Wall some years ago, and even then I didn't get as much information as in this video.
Congrats man!
Could just call it Fort Antonia...
More detailed info on the wall then I've ever seen. Thanks! Having the photos and pointing to the details really helps. I also never knew there were different time period of layers.
As a child growing up in an area with multiple 14,000-foot [4,267 meters] peaks within easy view of our various houses, it always astounded me that this is situated upon something that is called a "mount" or "mountain".
Same thing that bugged me growing up in Germany where so many cities and villages like to use the suffix „berg“ wich is german for Mountain (like Nuremberg for example) yet 90% of those places are where there is no elevation at all
it probably was tall enough for people back then, exept for highlanders lol
Well done! I wish this was even longer so you could get into more detail regarding history and the complexity of the Kotel. But this is a great introduction for those who don't know about it.
It’s interesting that the practice of praying at the Western Wall is comparatively “recent” (well I guess some 500 years isn’t that recent, but compared to the entire history of Judaism it kind of is). It just goes to show how religion is constantly changing and evolving, and practices that one assumes stretch far back into the mists of antiquity sometimes actually have a more recent origin than you might have thought.
Ever since the Jewish exile in the first century CE, we’ve been forced to adapt our religion in a way that helps us connect to Gd as best as possible without changing or getting rid of Jewish laws. For example, sacrifices were given 3 times a day during the times of the Temple, but since it was destroyed, we’ve replaced sacrifices with prayer 3 times daily.
@odeleya1768 Sacrifice what or who 3 times a day?
@@ImGoingSupersonicanimals. Human sacrifice is not allowed
Yes ... and the etymology for the word "Jew" is only 800 years old. "Judaism", what ever the heck that is, is only about 600 years old! The Western Wall was built by King Herod the Great Murderer. It missed the Messiah causing Josephus of Esau-Edom to invent JeZEUS for pacifism. Edomites worship the Western Wall on a daily basis. God NEVER commanded anyone to worship anything krafted by the hands of men! The State of Isn'tRael is an Edomite State. Vatican is Cana'an, joinder: Esau-Edom + Cana'an? Genesis 36:2.
Your videos are very well produced and informative! Please keep up the great work.
Very informative vlog. Overflowing gratitude.
Much appreciated.
God bless you more.
Your channel is so great, thanks for what you do.
"where Abraham almost sacrificed Isaac." I would love to see your treatment of this as the foundational story of Judaism - which I first heard from Elie Wiesel.
Mt Gerizim, but it's opening a can of worms if you acknowledge that
Ibrahim sacrificed isaac(ismail) at Mecca and then he left Isaac with his second wife at there.

When I went to Israel, a bunch of people gave me notes to place in the Kotel, one of the most amazing things I've ever gotten to do. 🙂
It's actually pronounced KOtel ( the emphasis on the first syllable). It means literally "wall". There was s a rabbinical saying in the Talmud about the Shechina (the spiritual presence of God) never leaving the western wall. ( I'm an Israeli Jew)
Your videos are great! When you come back to Israel you're very welcome to get in touch and see some of the Shomron, where we live. The Shomronin ( Samaritans) are only 20 minutes away from us :)
koTEl means killer
@@AlonMoiseyev קוטל is killer or destroyer.
כותל means wall
The western wall is called כותל (wall) in Hebrew

I'm interested are you going to do a video about the Church of the Holy Selpuchure next ?
Yup, definitely.
That would be awesome.
When I went to the church of the holy sepulchure several years ago, the tour guide pointed out and explained that ladder that has been above the entrance for years and years now. The building is controlled by several different christian sects, and they can't even agree enough to make repairs to the building without arguing and rioting on one another.
Like a sitcom where disagreeing roommates have painted lines dividing their half of the apartment, each sect knows exactly whose wall is whose, where their turf starts and stops, and they fight each other over these divisions.

this was extremely thorough! great video!

thanks gor providing such unbiased information about important historical site... thanks Dear.
It's not the temple location, the temple is located at city of David.. Dome of the rock was a Roman Barack
@Flashy Paws ...exactly
@Flashy Paws Do you mean what we are seeing is faked from beginning?
Which is the real location of the Temple?
@Flashy Paws thank you my friend,you've taken time and wisdom to explain which i appreciate.
I now understand the location of the 2nd Temple is some metres away from the KOtel wall.
The only mistake people are doing is going to pray and wail at a pagan wall.
When i watched the video something was indicating "faked" and i think you know there's debate about that area concerning ;
~ the Ashkenazi Jews being NOT the true jews who ABBA FATHER ELOHIM YHWH is gathering but rather the synagogue of hashatani.
And majority of them are not believers in the Elohim of Avraham.
~ the narratives handed to us from the Vatican,our mother church are false eg the name "Jesus christ", christmas and Easter,Sun ...day worship etc,
which also removed the Elohim's moedim.
Shalom.
@Flashy Paws exactly......the Fort had to accommodate around 10000 men.....
@@justinamusyoka4986 watch documentary by Bob Cornuke it was in the City of David lower down the valley looking up towards the fort...as its already been stated the buildings all faced towards the Temple
I am curious, did you choose to release the video today because of the tenth of Tevet fasting day? Might be a coincidence, but seems appropriate
@perakole Probably. Still, seems like a funny coincidence
The only calendar to follow as a believer in the One True Elohim is the creators calendar (Genesis 1:14-19). It is written to follow the full moon for the "correct" Sabbath (4th commandment), day of rest. He says to not follow man's ways (the current calendar "Gregorian") which is meant to mislead the true day. We are to seek truth and when we do, HE will reveal it. He knew that man (romans) would change the calendar to deceive future generations. Yeshua was angry when the Pharisees "sold" goods on the Sabbath as it says in Matthew. He spoke truth. Pray for the mind of Yeshua, ears to hear His still small voice and eyes to see HIS truth and an understanding heart to discern between good and evil. Amen Hashem.
Simón? :)
As an Orthodox Jewish raised woman I found it interesting how the inherent pushing aside of women out of public Jewish life can even be seen clearly at the kotel. There was a whole movement in the Haskalah of 19th century Eastern Europe that condemned 'enlightened' women & its STILL being played out now. Just one other topic I'm currently exploring in therapy 😑.
How were the women condemned? Interesting topic.
Keeping women ignorant is how the Edomites work. I think God commanded Israelite men to teach women the Law.
Man you get to go on some awesome trips!
Everything that we consider as Holy is exactly in our mind . How the holiness of the Jewish temple had began - by the ark where they stored the scriptura and where they brought the scarifies - blood of animals , part of animals bread and so on . The main sacred thing for that time was the scripturas that was transformed to tora . The wall is a kind of memory of the temple .
Just a note about pronounciation: "Kotel" is not pronounces like "Hotel". The emphasis is on the first syllable - KOtel. Also, it's called "Ha-Kotel", or "Ha-Kotel Ha-Ma'aravi" because "kotel" just means "wall". This is THE Wall.
Thank you elad lerner. I will change my pronunciation.
And is geder 3-4-200 and gedor 3-4-6-200 also translated as wall?
And chomah.
@@WGDO5805 Do you mean "gader"? That means fence.
"chomah" means a large separating wall, like in a fortress. A kotel means a wall of a house usually.
@@EladLerner ok thank you. Gader is a Biblical word and used for names in the Bible and cities 🤔
@@WGDO5805 it's also a modern Hebrew word.
But if we pray facing a seeable object like the wall, doesn't that make us idol worshippers?
no, i would assume its cuz its not a real proper idol, i myself liked idols as an artistic representation
although i dont pray to them but i dont consider these walls to be an idol,
u could even argue that if u take away the wall, they would still be praying there cuz its near their original temple
@@greatmusic142 An idol doesn't have to be a statue. The bible never said that we should face the temple whenever we pray.
@@Dragonfire1911 "An idol doesn't have to be a statue."
im not religious, i take academical definitions and these r jews so according to them its not
"The bible never said that we should face the temple whenever we pray."
well like i said, they r jews, similar to how muslims would pray to the kaaba
they pray facing their old temple, again the wall isnt what matters
take it away and its still the dwelling of the holy of holies according to them
@@greatmusic142 The Kaaba is an idol (whether they want to admit it or not) but the bible forbids idols
@@Dragonfire1911 "The Kaaba is an idol (whether they want to admit it or not) but the bible forbids idols"
🤣🤣🤣🤣i see, i wasnt aware that if ur were being sarcastic or
just religiously ignorant, even i as atheist would admit
its a much bigger hypocrisy for a christians who prays to a status of jesus as idolatry
than the kaaba or the wall, both of which like i said before
u more than welcome to take it away and it still wouldnt matter to them
it is a direction for praying where specifically their god dwells
u need to study more jewish history cuz clearly u dont know what a temple is or what a tabernacle is and how they function
Dear Andrew make please sometime, video about bnei Noach movement.
Thanks for giving your clear idea about the Western Wall of Jerusalem.
Hello , I am visiting the Holy land and my main objective is to place my prayers on the Western wall , will I be able to do that?
Yes
Anywhere you pray God going to answer , your heart is clear . Amen
Very informative
Thanks again for an educational, informative, and put simply awesome video! I had no idea what the dome of the rock was or the significance of the western wall. It saddens me to see that women are still being put down in religious and other social structures. I personally feel that any human should be able to express their prayers and grow their connection with their diety/deities as they see fit. Obviously I don't get some traditions though. Peace and love forever friends 😁
Amazing what people are capable of, thank you for the video
Excellent video . I just struggle to understand religious rituals and beliefs ,but each to their own.
Same here man and I grew up in an Orthodox Jewish community. The key (in Judiasm I donno about other religions & this is from my hurt & jaded perspective) is that logic can only be applied up to a point. The overarching things that I see dictating rituals & behavior are power, control, fear & 'tradition' (all of course depending on who's in power)
You can feel the smugness radiating from the comments section.
Solomon’s Temple was in the City of David 500 yards south the so called Western Wall which was the site of Fort Antonia NOT the temple.
Not only do we put G-d in a box, we tell others to KEEP OUT.
Ethnic cleansing is a “controversial move”. Really?
Media isn't even subtle about it anymore
Because morrocan islamic colonizers have no buisiness in jerusalem..Period.
Will you do a video about why the canonical scriptures of Protestants, Catholics and Orthodox Christians are different (more/less books)
Thank you God bless you...🙌🙌
When did animal sacrifice fall out of favor in Judaism? If The Temple was re-established, would animal sacrifices return too?
If that was the case, then would there be a new Court of the Gentiles for money changers and animal sellers?
The Ultra Orthodox do actually want to restart animal sacrifice. The regular (or "Modern") Orthodox are on the fence, while Reform, Conservative and Secular Jews do not want to see animal sacrifice resume.
@@jesseberg3271 To be more accurate: Animal Sacrifice is believed by most Orthodox Jews to only be reinstated at some point in the end times, when Elijah will descend on the Mt. of Olives. There is a small group who want to force the issue, but even most Orthodox Jews see them as extreme; the consensus is to wait for certain miracles promised by the prophets.
@@LangThoughts I'd say you were being more specific, rather than more accurate, but yes, that's the jist of it.
All of you guys are awesome. Thanks for the replies.
Animal sacrifice fell out of favor when the second temple was destroyed by the Roman Empire. It's difficult to say what would happen if there was a Third temple, but reinstating animal sacrifice is likely, imo.
Finding one of your videos is like finding some paper money in an old trouser pocket. A small unexpected delight.
USERNAME Well put!
Thank you.🙂
Mt Moriah? Now why does that sound familiar 🤔 🧝♂️
Area by the wall flattened after a few days? I was there 3 weeks after the end of the 6 day war and it was still an alleyway.
Why no mention of the debate about the location of the temple?
Right. The temple was in the City of David. That wall is part of the Roman fort, Antonia.
@@onefodderunit There certainly is lots of room for interesting archaeological debate about such possibilities. The popular "consensus" view is certainly too pat. These debates are too little discussed by serious scholars on the Net.

@@SEELE-ONE more like good location taken from them. It's just that the jews survival to this day wasn't a part of the conqueror's plan.

@@justafrog5641 ; ask our Heavenly Father in Jesus's name to get you there, set your face "as a flint" towards Jerusalem as Jesus did, and you will get there. Totally worth every sacrifice. Stay in the Citadel Hostel, on the roof (summer only).

That’s interesting!
That is the Foundation Stones of Fort Antonio, a Roman Garrison.
Exactly, I was about to say that myself. Jews and Muslims fighting over a Roman fort is hilariously sad.
Where is your proof of this? You’re just going to ignore all of the evidence from archeologists and scholars that it is in fact, the western wall?
@@bazbuco (1) The Temple had to be built as near as possible to a water source. There isn't one by Temple Mount. Therefore, Jews would have been unable to enter the Temple complex because they would be ritually impure having to walk from the only water source through the streets to the Temple. (2) The spot that we are told was the site of the Roman Garrison is too small to hold 10,000 men, let alone all of the stables, workshops, and so on.
@@PLuMUK54 what type of water source? where does that assertion come from? cite me a source and I'll check it out. a ritual mikvah is enough and Jerusalem probably had/has hundreds of them.

Thank you, your videos always make me pay more attention as its really interesting information. Thank you!
Hey. So my wife wanted me to mention that she wonders if you could think about doing vids on ancient norse/germanic polytheisms and maybe modern pagan/polytheist reconstructionist religions.
I think the non answer is a way of saying no. We don't have to make everything about paganism LOL.
I’d recommend you check out Old Norse Specialist Dr. Jackson Crawford’s channel.
I think it's clear the Dome of the Rock is not the site of the Jewish Temple. It clearly was a Roman fort. It's shaped like a Roman fort. It's raised like a Roman fort. The door has the same shape as a Roman fort. The Al-Aqsa Mosque is in the courtyard of the Temple. The Bible says the courtyard will be given to the gentiles.
It's part of a Roman fort. Fort Antonia.
I still wondering if the Haram al Sharif might have been Fortress Antonia and the Temple was simply destroyed somewhere in the CIty of David.
The Antonia fortress was further north, on top of what is now the Via Dolorosa. We know the Temple was built over the Foundation Stone because after it was destroyed, the Katz would annoint it with oil on each Tisha B'Av.
@@SamAronow But shouldn't the Temple mount be near a water source? I thought the only spring there was the Gihon
@@bobmilaplace3816 you are right. It HAD to be over a water source. And there was only one. Go there and see for yourself. I went in '18 on a City of David guided tour. Fabulous.
I came here for an education, thank you. I'm glad I'm Wiccan. I think everything is sacred, so my prayer wall is wherever is convenient or feels good. There is no fighting over holy places, because the holy of hoys is the soul where the spirit that goes through all things lives, the life force. It's the best place to connect with the divine.
Excellent video! Thank you for your hard work!
I always think of the old commerical with the singing line of " My dog's better than your dog" when I see religious discord. Everybody arguing their own personal, different taste on the outside for what is the same questionable mish-mash on the inside!
Thank you for the informative video!
I think it's important to mension that archaeological work in the west Bank, and east Jerusalem in particular is still been used as an excuse to demolish Arab neighborhoods and villages. Especially insidious is "Ir David Foundation" AKA "Elad Foundation" - an organisation devoted to the "jewification" of the mostly Arab East Jerusalem. With alot of support from our government, they've been involved in the destruction and degradation of the residents' homes, while misshandaling the archaeological sites and dameging them. If you go to Jerusalem, Please, don't go to their sites and tours. As an Israeli Jew, I'm furious of my people's hostory been missused in such a sonical way. They really don't deserve your money.
Dear Andrew

I went there on a tour and the tour guild told us to put out heads against the wall to "feel god", One girl on the trip was really moved and cried. I didn't feel anything which was a relief haha but a big cold stone wall against my head, so it was nice in that regard. Not to disregard that girls experience but I think she was a little swept up in the moment with the tour guides rhetoric and the sheer height of the thing. The tour guild also said the bushes growing out the cracks in the wall were "miracles" so I was taking everything with a grain of salt from her.
וואו סרטון מגניב! זה לא כאילו ידעתי את זה כבר כי אני יהודי
Just another Lie, it's a Roman Fortress called Fort Antonia. Jesus said not one stone would left on top of another.
Hazrat Esa As*
all that work only to discover that Holiest place of on earth is anywhere in the world you walk with Christ
What happened to the people who were forced to leave the area in 1967?
The invader Muslims where told to leave and go back to arab land
Gods presence is everywhere it’s not in one place more than the other .
Muslims call it the 'al baraq wall' after the Prophet Muhammad's steed (supposed to have been tied there before he ascended to heaven). It's listed under that name by UNESCO, which is one reason why Israel is no longer a member.
Alright, I enjoy your videos but Im looking for a specific topic so I thought Id find a random Jewish video from you guys and ask... can you please cover the topic of circumcision? How did it differ in ancient times from what it is today? Was there overlap from Hebrew beliefs and Sumeria beliefs? Ive heard some suggest that circumcising an 8 day old boy protected babies from Lilitu. Any archeological and historical information you can drudge up on this awkward, but important part of this particular religion would be thoroughly interesting. Thanks!
This is s military HQ for the Roman Army. Not the Temple. Sorry.
there's nothing like seeing it in person and approaching it.
I came here because I had a suspicion The Wailing Wall is megalithic.
I thought the Romans flattened the Temple. Jesus also said not a stone of the temple will be left unturned.
Exactly,the place to remain desolate.How come we got layers of KOtel?
How do you know that Jesus said that? I mean, how can you be sure that what's in the bible is real?
@Benjamin Q Jesus said in the Bible, it is written he'd leave a sign for us evildoers, the sign of Jonah. 3 days of darkness, then a continuation of Gods work. I believe that sign is Jesus's moment of resurrection embodied onto the Shroud of Turin. It is written that he always stated that he was telling people the truth. I believe that. I could say, I don't know for sure, but, I do not believe that. It is an understanding.
@@dontalkt2meboutheros Thanks for being honest. That is indeed an understanding. And that's a problem because we cannot determine an earthly source, i.e. book or person, is telling the truth just because it claims about itself that it tells the truth. That's circular reasoning, a logical fallacy. We have to scan and search deeper in order to find which teachings/scriptures validity is not entirely based on its own testament about itself.
@Benjamin Q If you believe Jesus was/is the embodiment of truth then you will realise truth is all encompassing, is everywhere. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be fulfilled. The resurrection is the most important moment in all history. It's the beginning and end. It is central to everything. There is proof of this having happened as is stated in scripture.... The Turin Shroud. (It's something to build on.)
One of my favorite places on earth.
Can't you see how close religions are ? Next to the Western wall where Abraham almost sacrificed his son Ismaël a mosque have been built exactly where the prophet Mohamed prayed !
Women also have a VERY small section compared to the men's section. I was so surprised how little space was set aside for women when I saw a documentary about the women of the wall. I always assumed it was just split down the middle. It's still a life goal to make it there.
And on top of that, they get rock and eggs thrown at them for "praying too loud." Sad, really.
The Ultra Orthodox really don't _want_ women praying there.
Reminds me of the scene in “Life of Brian”
th-cam.com/video/ffwFXGPRDu4/w-d-xo.html
@The Coward Liberius 1) even if that were true, it would in no way "even out" not getting to participate in their Religion's spiritual life, and 2) most Jewish Women don't get two kitchens, most can't even afford two refrigerators, and have to was the separate sets of dishes in plastic bins, so they're never in the single sink together.
No, no it doesn't.
Being excluded from participating in your faith, being discriminated against by your own people, doesn't even out. Not at all.
Actually I've seen a lot on this I've read quite a bit too because of the discovery they made the biblical city of David and its physical location they actually know that the Western Wall is actually the remnants of the old Roman Garrison the old fortifications this is however highly disputed so is like everything else about it but it would make sense
I have seen and read this as well, and seen videos on the "temple" underground holding area for cattle and other sccafishal offerings.
Who is “they” that “actually know”?
Been there.
Could you talk about lingua ignota?
a century? israel is not even 2/3 that old.
What a pain....
I Don't think god considered that as his tample.if he consider that as his Temple, then he will never let that destroy. I think he consider Kaaba as his tample.bcos it has never harmed by human.
There was never a Jewish temple on what is now called Temple Mount where the Al-Aqsa mosque now sets. It sat 600 feet to the South. As is described in the Bible.
You should visit Hindu religious places in India dating back to the beginning of calendar. Kailasa temple in Ellora.

It’s A Roman Fort! Follow The Stones From The City Of David, To Solomon Castel Above SW(Next To The Ophel). On The Western Wall Floor, It’s One Of The Buildings Of The Temple! NOT CAVES BELOW IT!
One of the first acts of the Israelis, upon taking over East Jerusalem during the 1967 was to give the 619 Palestinian inhabitants of the Maghribi Quarter just a few hours to evacuate their homes. Then the bulldozers came in and destroyed this historic district. This act, in contravention of the *Geneva Convention* was done in order to create a plaza big enough to accommodate the thousands of pilgrims who were expected to flock to the Western Wall.
All 3 Abrahamic religions still fighting about which person who allegedly starting hearing God's words as literal still fighting today. So many lies... so much violence.
No disrespect to the Jewish religion the western wall was the remains of a Roman fortress called fort Antonia
According to Bob Cornuke these walls are part of the Roman Antonian Fortification. The temple was in the City of David.
This comment section is gonna be fine.
I'm sure of it.. . . . . . . . . .
That wall is a Roman wall. It has nothing to do with the second temple.
And where is the location of 2nd Temple?
@@justinamusyoka4986 It was completely destroyed in 70 AD as a fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy that not one stone would be left upon another.
@@FreedomsNurse thank you.
@@FreedomsNurseso basically you’re talking about Jewish history in the context of Christianity and not widely accepted history? The Jewish temple was not completely destroyed, Jews knew about this wall from the beginning. It is in the exact place the outer western wall stood and it was never destroyed. It is exactly how Jewish architecture looks
