And he dreamt, and behold a ladder was set earthward and its top reached toward the heavens...and behold, God was standing over him, and He said "I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father and God of Isaac. The ground upon which you are lying, I will give to you and to your descendants."
GENESIS (28:12,13)
וַיַּחֲלֹם וְהִנֵּה סֻלָּם מֻצָּב אַרְצָה וְרֹאשׁוֹ מַגִּיעַ הַשָּׁמָיְמָה... וְהִנֵּה יְ-הוָה נִצָּב עָלָיו וַיֹּאמַר אֲנִי יְ-הוָה אֱ-לֹהֵי אַבְרָהָם אָבִיךָ וֵא-לֹהֵי יִצְחָק. הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר אַתָּה שֹׁכֵב עָלֶיהָ לְךָ אֶתְּנֶנָּה וּלְזַרְעֶךָ

The ground upon which Jacob spent the night and encountered God was none other than the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. When Jacob awoke, he realized that it was no ordinary place, but the gateway of the heavens, the most propitious place for prayers to ascend to God, and the site where the Temple would later stand. Learn more about the future Temple which will stand here again with Root Source's new class taught by Temple activist Yehuda Glick, a miraculous survivor of an assasination attempt. Glick's lectures will teach you everything you need to know about the Temple Mount.
