Greetings and peace be with you Supreme,
This is interesting. I never knew it was holy to Christians.
Jesus prayed on the Temple Mount, and when he healed people, he sent them to the Temple to give thanks.
It is said in Judaism and Christianity, that God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son in the region of Mount Moriah. It is also said that God commanded Solomon to build the Temple Mount on Mount Moriah, this is a huge structure, a small part of it is what we know as the Wailing Wall, or Western Wall. On top of the Temple Mount, God commanded Solomon to build a Temple, that will house ‘The Ark of the Covenant’ better known for the Ten Commandments.
The Temple was destroyed, and the Two Mosques were built on top of the Temple Mount, were the Temple once stood. The Dome is said to be the place where the prophet pbuh, ascended up to heaven on his winged horse.
Many of the Christian sites in Jerusalem are in the Muslim part of Jerusalem, which is mostly surrounded by Jews.
Having been on the Temple Mount last October, it seems a troubled place, you have to queue up and be checked by Israeli security all carrying guns, and go through scanners. There is a wooden walkway that brings you up to the mount, and just laying causally against the wall are piles of full height riot shields.
The Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque were almost deserted when we were there, unlike the rest of Jerusalem, which was heaving with people.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam are linked together by The Temple Mount, The Dome of the Rock, and Al-Asqa Mosque, but where is God amongst all this diversity? why did he place us all together on this one place?
In the spirit of searching for God
