GIVEN TO GENTILES

Revelation 11:1, 2 predicts the building of a third temple in Jerusalem, and then makes a most puzzling statement:

"Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count the worshipers there. But EXCLUDE THE OUTER COURT; do not measure it, because IT HAS BEEN GIVEN to the Gentiles".

For years I wondered what that meant. Would Israel negotiate part of the Old City away?

If not, WHO would give the court outside the temple to gentiles?

With traditional thinking about the Temple Mount, it didn't make any sense.

Once we find The Truth, what this prophecy means becomes quite clear.

As I've shared on the website for 6 years (Myth #30, home page) the so-called "Temple Mount" is NOT the location where Solomon's temple (a/k/a the "first" temple) or Zerubabbel's temple (a/k/a the "second" temple) actually stood.

The Bible is clear that the temple was built on top of a spring of LIVING WATER.

There's only ONE such spring within a 5 mile radius of Jerusalem and it's the Gihon Spring located in the area known as Ophel, immediately SOUTH OF the "Temple Mount".

So, it COULDN'T POSSIBLY have been built on the "Temple Mount" which contains only CISTERNS with STANDING water.

What, then, is this "outer court" that Jesus thru His angel instructed John NOT to measure?

You guessed it: THE TEMPLE MOUNT.

The erroneously called "Temple Mount", while technically under Israeli sovereignty, was inexplicably GIVEN to gentiles in the aftermath of the Six-Day War in 1967.

You would THINK that, after so many bloodly confrontations, and after 1,967 years of FORBIDDEN ACCESS to the Mount, Israel would be all too eager to get their beloved Temple Mount back.

Who can forget that electrifying, spine-tingling moment on June 7, 1967 when General Motta Gur radioed "the Temple Mount is in our hands"?

Jews were thrilled, all right. But in a controversial move that defied all logic, General Moshe Dayan ordered that the Israeli flag that had been raised over the Temple Mount should be immediately lowered, that Israeli paratroopers to be deployed at the northern part of the Mount should be removed, and that the place should be "entrusted to the Muslims".

He GAVE IT to an Arab waqf, which controls the so-called "Temple Mount" to this very day.

Since the REAL temple mount is located JUST SOUTH OF the so-called "Temple Mount", the latter would be considered its "outer court".

It has, indeed, been GIVEN to the gentiles, in AMAZING fulfillment of Jesus' Words. Praise His marvelous Truth!

No wonder Jesus didn't want it included: The two pagan structures that stand on that "outer court", the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa Mosque, where the FALSE god Allah is worshiped, are AN ABOMINATION in His sight.

Is the Word of God AWESOME, or what?

Is He ALWAYS TRUE? You bet.

Do you see WHY I love Him/it so much?

Praise God for His stunning accuracy.



The correct location of the former temples is outlined in blue above. Note how, as prophesied in Daniel 9:27, it has remained desolate until the time of the end.

Zechariah 12:3,9:
And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people; And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

Pls see picture of 1st Temple which looks like a human body.

Looking at the Outer Court in RED and the possible real Temple Area in BLUE...I believe that King Solomon built the 1st Temple in the real Temple Area in BLUE
and the Priest Joshua & Governor Zerubbabel built the 2nd Temple in the Outer Court in RED.

What is the proof?

I believe Jesus died in the real Temple Area in BLUE Jesus' blood anointed the Ark of Covenant which was hidden under the cross in the Zedekiah cave...

Then Jesus went into the 2nd Temple's holiest of holy and veil was rent into 2. Matthew27:51
This 2nd Temple should be at the Outer Court in RED...therefore confusing the Roman soldiers and even the future generations till now.

So...God had reserved the real Temple Area in BLUE for HIS 3rd TEMPLE.
PRAISE GOD!

Dear Beloved of God,

"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" 1Corinthians 3:16

Israel had built 2 temples and were both destroyed. Israel is preparing to build the third temple to welcome the Messiah(Anointed One) King soon.

1st temple was build by King Solomon within 7 years and was destroyed by Babylon Empire.
Then after Babylon Empire was destroyed by Persian Empire, they were given permission to build the 2nd temple.


The 2nd temple was build by both a High Priest Joshua and a Governor Zerubbabel, and took about a total of 33.5to46 years to build(2nd year laid foundation, build in difficulty for 10years, stopped for 18years, then restarted sometime later and took 3.5 years to finish). This was destroyed around 33.5to40 years later by the Roman Empire.

Pls see picture of 2nd Temple during Jesus time.

JESUS CHRIST FULFILLED THE 2ND TEMPLE(BODY) AND DIED AS A PRIEST!
Jesus Christ was conceived or born maybe on 24th Dec 1AD,

When HE was about 2years old, 3 wise men visited this yound child to worship HIM.
"..., they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him..." Matthew 2:11

Immediately after that, King "Herod the Great" wanted to kill HIM, so "HIS mother & Joseph with Jesus" escaped into Egypt till King "Herod the Great" died around 13AD.
"... angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him." Matthew 2:13

They came back to Israel...and when HE was 12yrs old, HE was talking in the 2nd temple while HIS mother & Joseph thought that HE was lost and found HIM in the temple. They blamed HIM. So HE had to be subject unto them for about 18years period.
"And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem ..., the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it....And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him..., that after three days they found him in the temple, ...: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? ... And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my (GOD) Father's business? ...And he went down with them, ..., and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man." Luke 2:42-52


HE was baptised by HIS cousin, John the Baptist when HE was 30years of age.
"... Jesus also being baptized, ..., the heaven was opened, And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, ..." Luke 3:21-23

HE was in the wilderness for 40days, and had possibly been already preaching for certain season before HE met John(Baptist) again which mentioned next day.

'note:- not after Baptism because Jesus was immediately sent to wilderness for 40days by the Spirit,see Mark1:12'

'note:- departed from HIM for a season'
Luke:4:13: "And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season."

'this next day' was refering from the day when John(Baptist) denied that he is the Christ...see John1:19-29

'This next day', John(baptist) exclaimed that Jesus as the Lamb of God(see John1:29,36)...then next day(see John1:35)...2 disciples followed Jesus.

John3:24 stated that there had been sometime before John(Baptist) was imprisoned according to John(disciple)...

Then Jesus called Peter,James,again after John(Baptist) was imprisoned...see Matthew 4:12 which was after His Baptism & 40days wilderness account...

Jesus then preached that the Kingdom of GOD was at hand for 3.5years.

Jesus told Jews that destroy this temple(HIS body) and HE would (RESURRECT) raise it on the third day.
"Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." John 2:19

Jesus was rejected by Israel and was delivered to the Romans to kill HIM.
"And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor." Matthew 27:2

Jesus died on a Cross in "a place of a skull" and that DAY there was a Solar Eclipse, the earthquake, Rocks rent, and the Temple Veil broken into 2.
"And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull," Matthew 27:33
"Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour." Matthew 27:45
"And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;" Matthew 27:51



HE went into the Holiest with HIS own Blood which was poured onto the Ark of the Holy Covenant which is found underneath the crucification area.
"Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus," Hebrews10:19

HE was Risen as HE said on the third day conquering death and He has the keys of Hell.
"When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said." John 2:22
"He is not here: for he is risen, as he said..." Matthew 28:6
"I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." Revelation 1:18

HIS Name "Jesus" is God's "SALVATION GIFT" Given to the whole world
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts4:12


JESUS CHRIST SHALL FULFILL THE 1ST TEMPLE(BODY) AND SHALL REIGN FOREVER AS A KING!

There are many verses which implies 7year period which have yet to be fulfilled. Jesus is going to Reveal Himself soon and then come again 7years later as King of kings and Lord of lords!
"...a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." Revelation 19:16
