"I will meet you in the morning..just inside the Eastern Gate".l..love that song..thank you so much for letting us see what you see!! All of your video's give me chills!! May God bless y'all and keep on doing what y'all do.Showing us all God's beautiful Place!!
Great video. I really like it when you just "take us with you" on things like this. One gets to experience what it's like to just be there without actually being there. Blessings to you.
Thank you, Sergio and Rhoda. These unique observations your video covered are incredible. I hadn't thought about how many sites there are on the Temple Mount which are covered up in that dirt. I went there once and now I want to go back.
Another great video! Thank you! The Trumpeter Stone, the Balstraude Inscription, the Southern Steps mikvahs, the debris on the southwest end of the platform from the 70AD destruction, the countless finds from the sifting project, and so on, provide overwhelming evidence for the Temple’s location being at or near the Dome of the Rock (not the City of David or the Ophel).
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing your experience. A few years back I had a vivid dream where I saw Jesus come through that gate! He walked down a ways where there was a band playing worship music. There were people standing in bleacher type seating, all waving their arms, shouting to Jesus. It was very exciting. Won't be long now before we meet him in the air.
The Temple had to stand on the threshing floor of Araunah and it was the highest point there. I appreciate you folks traversing the dangerous areas for us.
Thank you so much for taking the opportunity to climb those stairs by the Eastern gate - you captured some amazingly rare views for us! We were on Temple Mount in 2020 and not allowed to go many places (it was 15 March, that day Covid closed everything!) God has blessed you with this access, and through you, He has blessed us all the way in Australia! Todah rabah!
The YT page Holy Land Site has an excellent and very in-depth explanation of why the Temple Mount is indeed the location of the 1st and 2nd temple and why it could not have possibly been in the city of David. The original 500 square cubit border of the 1st temple is still clearly visible on the existing Temple Mount if you know where to look.
The Temple was in the City of David. And it did fit. It hung over into the Kidron Valley. Josephus and a few other Historians said this in their books and Bible also says this. Josephus even states that the Fort Antonia was higher than the Temple so the guards could look over into the Temple to keep an eye on the Jews.
@@patriciadavis646 There is zero archaeological evidence to support that. 1 Kings 8 describes in the first few verses that the ark was brought FROM the City of David up to the new temple that was build on the threshing floor of Araunah. Josephus' account of Antonia Fortress being tall to look over the Temple makes perfect sense considering the fortress was at the north end of the current Temple mount, where the temple was. And I'm afraid you know enough about this topic to think you are right, but not enough to know that you wrong. Strongly encourage you to watch the video I referenced in my original comment. The evidence is overwhelming to the point that arguing is really just a waste of time.
@JamesBrandon I too know enough to be dangerous but I'm not conceited enough to claim I know. So my question is the bible. Jesus said not one stone left on top of another. The wailing wall, would that not contradict that? Unless as Josephus said, nothing was left standing in Jerusalem except fortress Antonia. There is also fairly recently found in the city of David a source of what would have been running water. The sacrifices if I remember correctly (I might not be remembering correctly), they had to have"living" or running water
Thank you Sergio and Rhoda for uncovering the secrets of the Temple Mount and sharing this unseen footage. Archaeological insights and historical treasures revealed here are incredible.
I only found you yesterday and subscribed, but I can't even begin to tell you how much God is using you to help me through some difficult things. This, all of this, both of you, the Word you share, the meanings of it that you share, seeing these places come to life from the pages, has so changed me profoundly. I'm so thankful that God put you in my RU-vid lineup yesterday... so thankful. May God bless you both, may He bless Israel, and yes, the best is yet to come! 1 Cor 15:52. 💕🎺✝️🎺💕
Thank you for sharing this amazing experience. I have been up on the Temple Mount and there is nothing quite like it. The "Eastern Gate" you climbed is a later construction. The real gate is 40' lower. I believe the Beit haMikdosh stood on rhe done of the spirit, slightly north of the dome of the rock.
This makes the most sense to me. It also lines up with what is below it when you walk through underground following the wall. We know that Herod put a platform on the Temple Mount which obscures for those who have come later, allowing him to expand the surface for building his temple (which was indeed the 3rd temple) ... Wonderful getting to tour with you guys and revisit this incredible place on our waiting world ❤🙌🏼💕
Hello Sergio & Rhoda love your videos! Getting back to the actual location of Solomons Temple , I believe it was located where the Dome of the Rock is, and people living back 2000 years ago would have built over the spot were the temples were built. Another indication of the location of the Temple is the pilgrims road leading from the pool of Siloam to the Temple Mount. This would indicate that people were heading towards the temple to offer their sacrifices after being cleansed in the pool of Siloam and not just a random location.
The Temple Mount is where it is now. As always, this was a wonderful tour. Really enjoy the architecture as well as the historic research you all do. . I so enjoy touring Israel with you all. This is the only way I will get to see Israel. Thank you.
I tend to accept biblical archeologicalogist Joel Kramer's view that the temple was on the traditional site where the Al-Aqsa Mosque is located. Keep up the good work Sergio & Rhoda!
My achy joints would not let me climb those steps or do all that walking. I'm only 44 but have things like osteoarthritis already. So I'm very glad you do these videos. Thank you so much for the visual and the lessons. 🩷
I love these videos. I am in a wheelchair, and I know that I will never get to go to these places. It is like I can see them with you guys. It was always my dream to go to go there, but I was never able to. Thank you so much for doing these videos.
Wow, you manage to enter & visit Temple Mount. Thanks for posting this video. Hope I will have the same opportunity when I visit Jerusalem again in the future.
I'm so glad you're back in health Sergio. Yes, I have heard both suggestions for the temple mount location. I don't know the answer. I have been to the Eastern Gate also. Don't tell anyone but I did pray on the Temple mount on the circle next to the Muslim Mosque. The have a small roof over it and they call it the center of the world.
Sergio and Rhoda you are on the temple mount and your research will confirm this. I wish you could post more often. You two are in my thoughts during these trying days. Sending love. Ken from Indiana 🇺🇸
If they are finding artifacts in the debris that had been dug out from 1st and 2nd Temple periods, logic would tell you that this is the site of the Temples. We greatly enjoy your programs, God Bless you and your family!
That was a love bite from your temple cat friend Sergio 😅 you were petting to fast and hard and he was stimulated for prey 😅 super cute and loved seeing the temple mount so close up! Also I am very happy to hear you are feeling better brother. Many blessings to you and Rhoda, my favorite brother and sister in christ ❤
I’ve been here for 3 weeks and have endeavored to settle in my mind the actual location of the temple and decide between the two locations of the crucifixión and burial. As for the Temple Mount, after taking the Great Bridge Tour and seeing the massive footer stones laid by Herod, also the fact that the aqueduct had been nearly all excavated and identified, I have little doubt that the traditionally held site is the actual Temple Mount. Also the decline is so severe going down to the City of David, I cannot conceive of the possibility of the Temple Mount being located in the alternative location. Also I have walked all over the Temple Mount and there is h more “debris and trash” than what you mentioned, there are very weathered columns and sone everywhere, many beautifully engraved capitals lying in multiple places, also very weathered.
I love watching you two. Things like climbing the eastern gate and looking over to the garden of Gethsemane are things I can't do even if I were able to get up there. Heights and I don't get along. 😁 I love how fun you make it to see places I won't be able to see until the second coming of Christ is wonderful. I have wanted to go for years but I haven't been able to afford it but you two take us there and I'm so grateful. I want a t-shirt that says 'the best is yet to come.' God bless you both dearly.
Hi, Sergio & Rhoda. With the recent unconvering/unburying of the steps that lead from the Pool of Siloam upwards towards the current Temple Mount, wouldn't that show that the Temple Mount is the actual location of the Second Temple? Or do the steps end at the current City of David visitors/archelogical area? Since I've only visited there once, I can not recall the distances between the City of David and the Temple Mount. I am looking forward to your future video that helps clarify the debate of the actual Temple site. Thank you both for the wonderful videos. They are extremely informative and entertaining! May God keep y'all (Texan for "you all") safe and give you His peace.
Sergio and Roda, many thanks for this great tour. I knew Ernest Martin, author of The Temple that Jerusalem Forgot. I actually 10 copies of his book to Israel back in 1998. I wrote a feature on his alt. theory in 2002, but the archaeology of Leon Ritmeyer has definitively shown that Solomon and Herod's temple was on the Temple Mount.
@@rocketscientisttoo ERRRR WHERE THE DOME SITS!! WHY WOULD THE MUSLIMS GO TO ALL THE TROUBLE BUILING THE DOME OVER A ROMAN FORT?? THEY LAY CLAIM TO SOLOMON TOO!!! HELLO??? DOME SITS RIGHT OVER THE HOLIES OF HOLIES!! BEIT HAMIKDASH WAS NEVER IN CITY OF DAVID!!!!
When I went up there in June, I wore a long sleeved linen shirt & long pants. All the women in my tour group with short sleeved t-shirts were given something to cover up with. When you stood above that gate that sent chills because of the significance of where you were. Just incredible.
This is the first time I seen Sergio be protective over Rhoda and Rhoda go straight into the ledge 😂 usually it’s Sergio who’s daring and Rhoda saying be careful . Love you guys so much . I came back to rewatch . I also like you guys helping the older lady see the graves and garden as well ❤
Thanks for sharing this exceptional experience, this time and the visiting of the Temple Mount is epic. I know the last time (last year) my son and I went to the Western Wall. I had to cover up my arms and hands and wear long pants bc of the tattoos I’m covered with. So I had to smile a little bc you had to cover up, but it’s all about showing respect to this Holy place and be respectful to our Lord. God Bless you both. We hope to come back to Israel soon
Awesome. I always get so 3xcited when I see you have a new video. Thank you so much. My dream trip is Israel , Im disabled so through your channel my dreams come true. God bless.
After reading Bob Cornuke’s research on the location of the Temple Mount (“Temple”) I’’m convinced he’s onto something unbelievable. My love to you both! 😊🙏🏻❤️
Thank you! I saw the guy from RU-vid channel My Israel walking on top of temple mount walls, but not sure which ones, and there were railings. Also, temple mount IS the location of the temples, because the trumpeting stone was found in the rubble on the street below the wall. Love you guys! Shalom!
Wonderful!!!! Thank you for filming and sharing this with us. I got woozy just seeing the view from your camera's lens, so I am quite sure it is something I never could never have seen otherwise. This was sooooo beautiful. I had perma-grin on my face through the whole video! Peace and Grace to you! You made my day!
We really enjoy your videos and learn from them. Your recent video about your visit to the Temple Mount. You mentioned that you were planning a video about the Temple being in the city of David. I have read quite a bit about the Temple being there. I would very much like to see your research on it being there.
Amazing! Feeling so blessed and so much more to get to know! The Best is yet to come! Thank you both so much! May God bless and protect you both & your families always! 🇱🇰🇮🇱
Thank U Serigo&Rhoda for this video it is always exciting to see your videos God bless U in bringing your videos to your fans it's a joy ❤❤ God bless you Serigo&Rhoda & the lil cat is precious !!
Incredible that authorities didn't stop you from filming at the eastern gate. I've seen when they tell people to shut off their cameras. They were obviously pre occupied with what was going on in other places. And you climbed to the top! I've never seen that before. Good job!
Hi Sergio and Rhoda. God bless so glad to see this video.such strict regulations .but such a beautiful place you went to visit. Have a blessed weekend .
Thank you for another great video. I thank you for taking me along with you to see and learn from you the places in the Holy Land, I could not do this or see these places otherwise. I am grateful to go with you and learn. God Bless you both, I am praying for you both.
Thank you! So cool to see! (When you were showing Jerusalem Day footage, all I could think about, was when Mary and Joseph were leaving, and Jesus was "missing". I could imagine their panic! It looked pretty crowded, there😊)
All glory to God in Jesus' name !!! 😀 Sergio preached this message today with the scripture readings 🔥🔥🔥Amazing work as always you two. Rhoda is too amazing. The way you both illustrate the Bible makes it even more real in an anointed way.
I’ve been a fan of you two for about 5 years now? And I tell you, Yeshua directs your steps, and He protects both of you. In all my years of interest in Israeli archaeology, no one to my knowledge, ever scaled steps adjacent to the Eastern Gate. No one! And that “ view” over its wall was amazing!
The Chamber of Hewn Stone, one of the rooms in the inner courtyard that surrounded the temple proper, is one of the sites where the Sanhedrin met. It could be where Jesus was tried. "The Lord himself will provide a sacrifice." Also, a much earlier gate is beneath the present Golden Gate. I've been in the cave beneath the rock in the Dome of the Rock, but I've never been over to the Golden Gate. Very interesting. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing such amazing places in Biblical history! God bless you and keep you. Praying for the Shalom of Jerusalem and the Salvation of Israel. 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing your videos. I will never get to visit there in person, so your videos are my dream ♥ that was an amazing viewing and the treasure that must be in amongst that rubble is priceless.
It disgusts me that people who have so little respect for temple mount are the ones in charge of it. They hold it out of spite, not because it actually means very much to them.
Where do you see „little respect“ to this place from the Muslim ? or because they are not Christians? They literally call it the sacred place, and it is an important place in Islam! Either you like it not.
@@cookie1461 Much of temple mount is littered with trash, there are piles of dirt and debris sitting there for years, much of the area is in disrepair, people are sleeping, eating, kids running around playing, screaming, barely supervised and it is often the site of political protests and even violence by Muslims. That enough?
@@cookie1461, Muslim should be grateful to have Mecca so why not let Jews have King Solomon temple. It is fair. Two state nations should be possible. Respect is allowing each one for each one not two,??
@@anthony64632 if you think Muslims are stopping them from taking the Masjid Alaska then you know nothing, they are rituals needed for the jew to build the temple, so when the rituals are fulfilled the temple will be build and nothing will stop them, not even blood shed. That place is holy as is Makka for Muslims and we can’t just let it go, this time is for the Muslims the rest of the world need to accept it, the jews and christian ownd that place before but they didn’t respect or preserve it.
💙 Based on the fact Warren an archeologist discovered a double gate below the double gate that now exists & Josephus documented it was the only double gate. There was a direct view from the Mount of Olives, the double gate & Herod’s Temple on the Temple Mount. So if the current double gate sets on top of original gate then the Temple lines up also. Since there are stones from Solomon to Herod to Suleiman stacked upon each other this would be the original Temple
Love your videos! I ‘ think’ that the temple stood in Zion , city of David, and that the spring flower out from it. The fort is where the dome is now. Old photos show the city of David as fields, exactly as was prophesied.
Thank you so much for doing these videos so that we who can't be there, can see through these!!! I love you guys 💖! You are so cool! God bless you and keep you, Sergio and Rhoda! You are truly my forever brother and sister in Yeshua!!! Praise the Lord! Shalom! 🙌🙌🙏🙏
