God is speaking loudly to the Jews,

But once again they are not listening

10-18-07.

God has His ways of reminding us when we go in the wrong direction, and He has once again done that with the Jews of Israel.  He has reminded us that He gave us the stewardship of the Temple Mount.  Just a few weeks ago Israeli Archaeologists discovered the quarry that King Herod cut the stones from for the Second Temple and the Western Wall that we now call the most Holy Site in Israel.  At a time when the most unpopular Prime Minister with no mandate from the Jews of Israel is willing to negotiate it away to the enemies of God and of Israel.  This second Temple Quarry was found while Israeli archaeologists were inspecting the location to build a religious orthodox school.  But I find it interesting that God allowed it to be discovered at this time in hopes of getting the Prime Minister and others in the Knesset who have sold Israel out to the enemies and are under the spell of Bush and Rice for the final destruction of Israel. 

Just before the proposed Bush & Rice Peace Summit in Annapolis God would revealed such an important site as a reminder to whom He gave this Temple Site to.   Second Temple period coins were found in this excavation along with a metal wedge that was used to break the pieces of stone away at the bottom.  I will explain that with the pictures below.

This shows the size of the stones taken from this ancient quarry match the size of the base stones along the bottom of the Western Wall and other places around the Temple Mount retaining walls.  They are anywhere from 5 meters to 8 meters.

This one shows the different sizes of stones that were cut from this quarry.

 Here is one that shows how they cut the stones, they cut a grove around the stone and then drove metal wedges under it until it broke loose from the base.  A metal wedge that stayed wedged at the bottom of a stone for 2,000 years was discovered as well.

You will notice a metal fence along the ridge above; on the other side is an Arab neighborhood inside modern Jerusalem.  The current plan being put forward by one of the top members of the Prime Minister’s government is to hand over such Arab neighborhoods in the Jerusalem area in order to form the state of Palestine.

A different view.

This excavation only exposes around 30% of the actual size of the quarry.  The stone is called the “Kings Stone| (“melcheh”) and it is the same stone that you will find at the Western Wall.  It’s the stone most suitable for construction and is appropriate for regal buildings.  “Melcheh” is a dense but soft limestone that is easy to quarry.  It’s advantage is that one can quarry large blocks from it.  It’s especially suitable for monumental building projects because the stone is smooth and is not marred by vains of stripes.  Upon first being quarried “melcheh” stone appears white and shiny.  Exposed to the sun makes it even harder and turns it to a light grey that resembles Italian marble.  As a result, a structure built of “melcheh” stone actually becomes more durable with time.

The ancient quarry is located on the top of a large Jewish religious neighborhood in northern Jerusalem about 4 kilometers (about 3 miles) north of the Old City.  The neighborhood is called in Hebrew “Ramat Shlomo” which means the “hill of Solomon”.

In addition the Israeli Archaeologists discovered the road that leads from this site to the Old City, and it is all down hill making it the most likely spot to bring the stones of such large size to the Temple Mount. 

This should be the find of the century but it hardly gets any news coverage, there was a small piece in the Jerusalem Post last week about it but nothing more.  You see the Islamic Arabs say there was never a second Temple for that matter they say there wasn’t a first either.  This proves beyond any shadow of any doubt that the Jews built the Temple Mount and our Holy of Holies occupied what is now being controlled by our enemies.  It is also an embarrassment to this corrupt Prime Minister with three criminal charges against him as you read this because he intends to give it away to please Bush and Rice, knowing full well that it will bring about the total destruction of Israel.   

The 120 MK’s now holding office in the Knesset are also turning a blind eye to this remarkable find at a time when the survival of Israel could well be in their hands. 

God waited for such a time to uncover this site in order to speak truth to the world, but the world is not hearing it, God help us all.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for our son Joel and all the IDF soldiers.  Pray for this Ministry and your part in it.  Shalom, jerry golden
