Secrets of the Jubilee ✡ "Upon A Very High Mountain" - JERUSALEM365

In the visions of God He brought me into the land of Israel, and set me down upon a very high mountain, whereon was as it were the frame of a city on the south. EZEKIEL (40:2)   בְּמַרְאוֹת אֱלֹהִים הֱבִיאַנִי אֶל-אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיְנִיחֵנִי אֶל-הַר גָּבֹהַּ מְאֹד וְעָלָיו כְּמִבְנֵה-עִיר מִנֶּגֶב יחזקל מ:ב b'-mar-ot e-lo-heem he-vee-a-nee el e-retz yis-ra-ayl vai-nee-khay-nee el har ga-vo-ha m'-od v'-a-lav k'-miv-nay eer mi-ne-gev

Jerusalem Inspiration The final section of Ezekiel's prophecy describes the rebuilding of the Temple, its operation, and the re-division of the Land of Israel among the people. These chapters contain the prophet's hopes for his people, and represent the closing of a circle that began in chapter one of the Book of Ezekiel. Decades earlier, Ezekiel envisioned the Divine Presence leaving the Land of Israel and the Temple before its destruction.  Now, perched on the high mountain, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Ezekiel can foresee the return of the People of Israel to the Land of Israel, and the holiness of God returning to His city. According to the sages, this vision comes to Ezekiel at the beginning of the Jubilee year. Rabbi David Kimchi emphasizes how appropriate the timing of this vision is, since during the Jubilee year, all are freed and returned to their ancestral homes.

Jerusalem Grand Mufti: Mosque Has Stood on Temple Mount “Since Creation of World”

By Lea Speyer October 26, 2015  BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS

“An evildoer listens to wicked lips, and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.” (Proverbs 17:4)

The grand mufti of Jerusalem declared on Sunday that the Jewish Temples never sat atop the Temple Mount and that the holy site has been the location of a mosque “since the creation of the world.”

Sheikh Muhammad Ahmad Hussein, the Muslim cleric in charge of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, told Israel’s Channel 2 in an Arabic interview that the Temple Mount was really a mosque “3,000 years ago, and 30,000 years ago,” dating all the way back to the beginning of the world.

“This is the Al-Aqsa Mosque that Adam, peace be upon him, or during his time, the angels built,” Hussein explained, speaking of the 8th century mosque built by Caliph Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan.

The most holy site in all of Judaism and the third most holy in Islam, the Temple Mount has become a source of tension and cause for terrorism by the Palestinians against Israel.

Appointed by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in 2006, Hussein has openly endorsed suicide bombings against Israel and is known for ignoring both textual and archaeological evidence, from Muslim and non-Muslim sources, proving Jewish connections to the holy site.

The mufti’s denial of any religious and historic Jewish connections to the Temple Mount are the latest in a string of Palestinian incitement against Israel. Palestinian officials have claimed Israel is attempting to change the status quo on the Temple Mount, in which non-Muslim prayer is banned.

Over the weekend, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed Israel’s commitment to the status quo. On Saturday, US Secretary of State John Kerry announced that Israel and Jordan have agreed on new Temple Mount security measures, including 24-hour surveillance cameras.
