Watched the entire series.....GREAT JOB GUYS

I can't wait for the next episode! Great work team! God bless you all!

I love your programs so much Dear Israel Guys.😊😇🥰😍🤗

thank you from Australia, for clearing this up. God bless you and your work.🙃

Glory to Jesus Christ and blessing the Israel Guys.

God bless you for showing us the truth. Happy Feast of Trumpets!

what a great episode. I say right on. I especially like the trumpeting stone at the foot of the Temple Mount. Great work, Israel 🇮🇱 Guys

I love all this discussion on the temple. I was in Israel in 2015. The first thing I did was to ignore all the Catholic holy sites. I looked for true Biblical locations. Thank you for discussing all the location theories and what Scripture says. I love all the discussion of Scripture.

You boys have done an amazing job revealing the TRUTH! THANKYOU!!

My new favorite channel guys!

You 'Guys' have really upped your production quality and impact of your presentations. It really is good. Well done and thank you for awesome work.

I am so grateful for this information!

Great series well done

I thank you two gentlemen from the very bottom of my heart for quashing the doubt sneaking into my soul regarding the true location of the Temple of Hashem. My paternal grandfather's sister I'm am certain rests in the afterlife more contentedly because her name was Nicanor. As you know that is the name of the doorway in the gallery that when open one could see the Holy Temple beyond.

Interesting and well thought out, kinda helps when you're being things on facts and evidence, but well done! What's next, I can't wait.

Thank you so much for making this series! So important that the other theory be thoroughly debunked as you have done

A great series, thanks. Also the ascent that is being uncovered leads to the Temple Mount

So very, not only interesting, but exiting to Boot. Bless you Guys.

This series is one of the best you have ever done

Thank you guys, we appreciate you, shalom!

Thanks guys

Remember, Josephus wrote that Ft. Antonia completely obscured the temple complex from the north.

Well done.

I'm eager to learn more about the Mount of Olives. Jesus ascension, Bethany, etc.

I love series about Israel archeology, it’s proven the factuality of the Bible, keep up the good work.

Loved your presentation. Would have been recieved by more people if you spent a little more time on more artifacts found in the siftings. Thank you for the info on corner of wall with trumpeter info on it!

Just watched the four episodes you've released so far. Loving this series and eager for the remaining episodes. This series earned my subscription. Thank you for these great videos!

Very enlightening !.!.!

I think who ever started the lie about the temple being located somewhere else is trying hard to get the third temple built.

Great information, thanks!

Ps 3:21 - 23 Ps 3:24, 25, 26 Zech 14:1-4 Rev 11:7-15 (October 2022 - Nisan 5786) Mark 13:10-27 Matt 24:14-29 Joel 3:14-16 Isa 13:9-12 Amos 8:11-12 Rev 14:8-12 Rev 13:12-18 Rev 18:2-23 Rev 6:12

Where was the Tabernacle's (tent) location, before the temple was built? Maybe those grooves found in the city of David are from the tabernacle. Does anyone know the tabernacles location ?

1 Chronicles 21:22 And David said to Ornan, “Give me the site of the threshing floor that I may build on it an altar to the LORD-give it to me at its full price-that the plague may be averted from the people. V26 And David built there an altar to the LORD and presented burnt offerings and peace offerings and called on the LORD, and the LORD answered him with fire from heaven upon the altar of burnt offering. 1 Chronicles 22:1 Then David said, “Here shall be the house of the LORD God and here the altar of burnt offering for Israel.” 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. This is very clear that Solomon’s temple was built on the threshing floor of Ornan, the Jebusite which is in the City Of David. I find it peculiar that The Israel Guys did not discuss Bob Cournuke’s mention of this threshing floor. It is Bob’s premise for placing Solomon’s temple in the City of David. Is scripture the final authority? Absolutely! It does not matter who says what or who finds what… scripture is the immutable, infallible Word of God and it places Solomon’s Temple on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebustie in the City of David.

Every time man thinks we know exactly something, God does something unexpected to prove we really don't "know" anything and that He id God. We will see what He brings about

This Is Truly Amazing News!

Trinkets and block??? Josephus writes about how ancient structures were cut down and the debris was used as landfill in other areas. So trinkets could have come from anywhere and moved to other areas; they don't mean anything. Likewise Josephus writes about how the block from the temple were carried off and used for other structures. So we don't know the original location of any loose blocks we might find; they don't mean anything either.

It's amazing that those huge stones are still there where they fell after the Romans destroyed the temple. I didn't know about the steps leading up to the temple, two short steps and one large step. That's amazing to see that. Mind boggling.

Excellent as always

Do you guys know where this is? There was also an occult passage built for the king; it led from Antonia to the inner temple, at its eastern gate; over which he also erected for himself a tower, that he might have the opportunity of a subterraneous ascent to the temple, in order to guard against any sedition which might be made by the people against their kings. Flavius Josephus and William Whiston, The Works of Josephus: Complete and Unabridged (Peabody: Hendrickson, 1987), 425.

The stair theory is tosh. Castle stairs were often off pace to keep new comers unsteady and the regulars faster. I do agree with you as far as the location of the temple

Thanks! Great show!

You'll get no argument from this sports fan. Points well taken. Case closed its sounds like. Another excellent presentation.👍

Thank you and Shana Tova

Hi your message was not clear. I still dont know if the top where the Mosque sits is the original Temple site - or below the Flat top or traditional site ?

that the temple would be in city of david and not on the temple mount is just so weird for me

Matthew 24:2 But He responded and said to the, "Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down. Now either you don't understand what Josephus said or someone is lying! And as Yahshua can not lie.... Well! My point is that you have an entire wailing wall that you tell me has been standing since that time. And when Yahshua HaMashiach speaks and has it recorded for us, you can take that to the bank. Not one stone upon another, not except for this wall! No; Not one stone upon another.

2nd Chronicles 3:1 . .tells you exactly where the temple was built.

You guys have confirmed for me what I had been suspecting, that the temple was right there. Thank you and God bless!

My children found fossilized butterfly's eggs, tiny mammal bones, and sea shells in our backyard. We have bitumen, clay, and obsidian as well. After a long winter, a pond is formed every year behind my backyard and sulfur smell comes out of it through bubbles. Many creatures live in this reserve, about 50 species of birds, thousands kinds of insects, and we have mammals and critters too. We don't know why this reserve is what it is because no government neither natural science authority has declared or assigned, or confirmed identification of the place. Same way with the Ufo's, Big Foot, and the Temple Mount stories. Everyone has an opinion about the Temple Mount but the evidence is always blurry, doubtful, or discredited, always inconsistent with the character of G-d.

Great information!! Satan is putting up a fight for the area for a reason!

Great job guys!!! May Yah bless you for defending the Temple Mount.

It shouldn't really matter because when Jesus comes back to judge the earth and destroy his enemies and set up his kingdom you will know then without any doubts because he is the God of the old and new testament.

Look up *Norma Robertson* RU-vid channel. She does a walk through of the Jewish Temple.

The Bible says, the guards walked down while Peter was getting beat.

The floor tile looks like Amish quilts… have always wondered if there is a lost tribe in the anabaptist community…

What about the two connected colonnades Josephus described being attached to the Temple from the Antonia fortress? Couldn’t this be the “fast” access Josephus was referring to?

What's the covered door way in the corner ?

The late Israeli archeologist, Eilat Mazar, has presented lots of evidence that the First and possibly the Second Temples, were built in the City of David, and that the tombs of the kings of Judah which were nearby, were destroyed. It's actually quite compelling if you examine the archeological evidence along with what the scriptures say.

I just hear a lot of it must be and not here is why. I don't have a horse in the game but it's obvious the only thing you have to go off of is "Tradition". Tradition based off experiences from hundreds of years after the Temple stood. Trumpeting Stone could have been on the 600ft walkway between FT Antonia and the Temple. The stairs? If it was Ft Antonia It would have needed stairs too. The Living Water Source to the Temple is non existent until Harods time when the Roman's built an Aqueduct from Solomons Pool. Do you honestly believe the Roman's built an Aqueduct to the Temple out of the kindness of their hearts? Or was that water for their fort? Think about it. Common sense. I'm not saying the Temple was, or was not, on the Temple Mount. Simply that you have provided no evidence it was. Just repeating it was and saying Tradition says over and over does not suffice.

So I think this is such great info! … and I’m such a thinker here. What if… 🤔… the place that they found in the old city of David which is claimed to be where according to that guy was the place where they had the temporary place of worship before Solomon built the temple? … because in the Bible it does say that the Ark of the covenant was placed in an area temporarily which is why David wanted to build a permanent place for it?!?! Just here in my thoughts. Any info on this? Could y’all find out? And make a video? Unless I’ve missed it.

You said, “It’s not a theory….” Even the expert flinched when you said that.

An archaeological discovery gives weight to the City of David Temple location. The ring of an official named Nathan-meleck was discovered in an area where the West Gate would be if the Temple was indeed in the City of David. Why is this significant? Because Nathan-meleck is mentioned in 2 Kings 23; 11. It mentions "the chamber of Nathan-meleck the official which was in the precincts". "Precincts" was translated from the word Parbar, and we know from I Chronicles 26;18 that Parbar is at the Western entrance to the Temple. So Nathan-meleck's chambers were at the Parbar at the Western Gate of the Temple and his ring was found in the City of David where the Temple West Gate would be...

That Cornuke's teory about Holy Temple location makes non sense at all. I don't know why they keep pulling it. The Holy Temple of YHVH always goes AT the Temple Mount absolutely.

PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM, not for WW III.

Although I am in agreement that the temple was situated on the temple mount, I am not convinced that the location of the "trumpeting" stone or any of the other stones lying at the foot of the temple mount can be used as evidence; The romans supposedly destroyed the site containing caves claimed to be the tombs of the Davidic dynasty by quarrying it to build Aeolia Capitalina, they would not likely ignore a source of stones closer to hand such as those at the foot of the wall. I think it is more likely that these stones were repurposed, and fell during a later earthquake. I seem to recall a story that there was an earlier attempt to rebuild the temple, and an earthquake overthrew the stones they had already raised...

🤔Stairs? I know that there was a ramp on the side, it would be difficult for many to go to the top by just climbing stairs.

The Currently known area called Temple Mount (Fort of Antonia) is North of the Old City. The Temple is South of the "Temple Mount." The only Area that has No Building Development in Jerusalem.

What did the first century witnesses say? In the writings of the Roman Historian Tacitus below he said a “spring of never-failing water” came out of the Jewish temple. (The Jews Book Five (1-13) of The Histories by Tacitus ) 12. The Temple was like a citadel and had its own walls, which had been even more laboriously and skilfully constructed than the rest. The porticoes around it constituted in themselves an excellent defensive position. To these advantages must be added a spring of never-failing water, chambers cut in the living rock, and tanks and cisterns for the storage of rainwater. Its builders had foreseen only too well that the strange practices of the Jews would lead to continual fighting. Hence everything was available for a siege, however long. Moreover, after Pompey's capture of Jerusalem, fear and experience taught them many lessons. So taking advantage of the money-grubbing instincts of the Claudian period, they purchased permission to fortify the city, and in the days of peace built walls meant for war. Already the home of a motley concourse, its population had been swollen by the fall of the other Jewish cities, for the most determined partisan leaders escaped to the capital, and thereby added to the turmoil. There were three different leaders and three armies. The long outer perimeter of the walls was held by Simon, the central part of the city by John, and the Temple by Eleazar. John and Simon could rely on numbers and equipment, Eleazar on his strategic position. But it was upon each other that they turned the weapons of battle, ambush and fire, and great stocks of corn went up in flames. Then John sent off a party of men, ostensibly to offer sacrifice but in reality to cut Eleazar and his followers to pieces, thus gaining possession of the Temple. Hence-forward, therefore, Jerusalem was divided between two factions, until, on the approach of the Romans, fighting the foreigner healed the breach between them. In the passage below we find Titus used Fort Antonia as his base of operations on the day the temple was burned during 70 AD. They had previously gained access to the temple by attacking the foundation of Antonia for seven days. (Book 6, Chapter 2, Section 7) This 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." Why was Solomon anointed king of Israel in Gihon? 1Ki_1:38 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon. 1Ki_1:45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard. 2Ch_32:30 This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works. 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 is still there today.

I agree that the Temple was on the mount.. under the Al-Aqsa Mosque... Search 'Locating Solomon's Temple' by Norma Robertson

I think the blocks that were thrown off the mount, could all be 3D scanned and by an AI see if the temple could be reconstructed, or parts of it. Would you refuse permission to move broken stone around a little to get a good scan, if that proof might be that critical? It's time.

Even the Kaaba in Mecca, Islam's holiest site, was once a Hindu Shiva temple.

Question, there is a third site for the temple that is in the Jewish quarter. It is based off the claim that the Torah niche's in a synagogue are supposed to be pointing to the holy of holies. Surviving first century synagogues all have their Torah niche's aligned with a spot in the Jewish quarter. I would be interested to hear your opinions.

Very Good!... #257 ✝ {9-30-2022}

Why there is no mention in Midrash about the temple from 1,800 BC to 800 BC until the time of King Hezekiah? Could that be the actual place for the 1st Temple?

What did Jesus say, Matthew 24 chapter, did he tell the truth?

For sure without a doubt?

the finding in city of DAVID is Melchizedeks temple-the firsttrue one!!

Regardless of where it was, its no longer there.

A graphic..location will help

If the western wall is part of the temple, where are the Solomonic stones?

So I'm watching this video nine months later. And my question is with all this evidence why won't they go ahead and build the new Temple?

Can I go and sift through the dirt for artifacts? Is it open to the public?

Third Temple should be built where the Second Temple was located

Posted during the Feast of Trumpets. Gentlemen...how very appropriate of you.

In the city of David as it says in the bible.

Is it possible that the temple of David was built in the city of David and Harrods temple on the temple mount?

There is a third location. Not in the city of David, but on the mt to the west of the temple mt. Old pictures prior to israel rebirth, show it as the sight of the temple

Jesus saith unto her, "Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." The woman saith unto him, "I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things." Jesus saith unto her, "I that speak unto thee am he." Philip saith unto him, "Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us." Jesus saith unto him, "Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?"

Yes the Temple stood on the Mount but not on the location where the current mosque is stationed. The Golden Gate entrance should be in direct line with the Temple entrance, the Muslim mosque does not fit the puzzle . Follow the line from the Golden Gate and it will lead to the Holy Place.

Where was the Roman Army garrison?

Why the dispute? Isaiah 14:12-14 “How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn!
How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low!
 You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God
I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ I will sit on the mount of assembly - assembly = moed. The mountain where YHVH proclaimed His holy days would be celebrated is the target of the adversary to make himself like the Most High. As the time draws near for the new earth and heavens to be established, the adversary will use great deceptions on covenant believers and cause them to believe the lie.

It's lack of faith that allows alternate site viewpoints. If you see the dome of the rock or the mosque as problems you don't know God...

Are you saying the Temple was somewhere else ? Where

*Both Josephus and the Pilgrim gave the location as within the City of David, and one stadia (600 feet) BELOW the Millo, the market steps shown. *The Pool of Siloam was the people's mikveh, the ritual cleansing pool they used before walking to the temple. But if the temple was on the mount and not within the City, that means they had to walk over a sewage system WHICH WOULD HAVE MADE THEM UNCLEAN. Meaning the trip to the mikveh had been a waste of time. The rabbis would have never tolerated such a farce. *There is no living water on the mount, just made-made cisterns. The only living water is the Gihon Spring, down inside the City walls and within easy reach of the actual temple location. *There were more than 10,000 Roman troops and personnel occupying Jerusalem. The only place large enough to hold them was the mount. *A standard Roman military encampment is approximately 19.5 acres in size. Which, just coincidentally, is the size of the mount. Quite the coincidence. *What people call Fort Antonia just to the north of the mount was actually the Roman military stables. *Less scientific but still very interesting, is that David's tomb lines up precisely with the City location of the Holy of Holies, and not the mount. But finally and far more important is the "why". Why are people making such a fuss over the mount? It's because of the misconception of the location of the FINAL temple. Which must be where the last 2 were. Says who, exactly? Who says that's where it HAS to go next? But the Word says something quite different in Isaiah 1:26. Which gives the location as Gilgal. Gilgal, not Jerusalem. Gilgal, where the Ark of the Covenant rested for at least 14 years at the very beginning. Gilgal, which was used repeatedly thereafter as the location for the re-cleansing and re-dedication of Israel several times over the millennia. Gilgal, that was recently located and excavated. Gilgal, which is located in an area that is undisputed as to ownership. THE LAST DAYS TEMPLE WILL BE LOCATED IN GILGAL, not Jerusalem. The Word says so.

Normally, the People have to Build or Purchase the HOUSE first, before procuring the requirements inside the house such as furniture, appliances, curtains, lighting, and plumbing fixtures, etc... In Jerusalem, Israel the Jews had already prepared all the requirements needed for the 3rd Temple, such as the Red Heifers (Cows as sacrifices), Standard Clothes of the High Priest, Silver Utensils, Temple's Traditional Instruments, Jewish Candlestands (Menorah), the Holy Scriptures Written in Scrolls (Books of Torah and Tanakh), including the Temple Plans, Scaled Building Model, etc... except for the Actual Physical Building itself... Ironically, the 3rd Stonewall Temple is nowhere to be found... Not yet built and still debating and negotiating up to now where EXACTLY the location of the 2nd Temple that was completely and totally destroyed except for the gate walls (obviously) in around 70 A.D... Christ said, "NOT ONE (TEMPLE) STONE WILL BE LEFT UNTURNED." ...(Luke 21:6)... "NO TRACES" found? That this means that God does not really want the 3rd Temple to be REBUILT for God does not want any more animal sacrifices after His own Son's Sacrificial Death on the Cross and Resurrection had already been fulfilled (Finished)?...
