ARABS DESTROY FIRST AND SECOND TEMPLE REMAINS


May 3, 1998

Another terrible abomination has occurred on the most holy place of G-d on the earth. After the Arabs destroyed most holy remains on the temple Mount over the last years, they now continue to destroy the marvelous remains of the Hulda Tunnel on the Temple Mount which had remained intact over the last 2000 years.

The Arab destruction on the Temple Mount started in the 1980's. Their goal was to remove all the remains from the First and Second Temples which still remained after the destruction in 70 C.E. and to completely deny the Jewishness of the Temple Mount. At the same time they started to build Islamic constructions on the Temple Mount and to give the Temple Mount a physical Islamic identity. In these years there is a continuance of this. They have started to state that the Temple Mount is not the place of the First and Second Temples and that the history of the Temple mount only started in 638 C.E. when the Arab imperialist forces occupied the land of Israel and Jerusalem. Throughout the history of the Arab Islamic occupation they were experts in using lies and religious terms that they created for political ends. In this way they built the El Aksa mosque on the Temple Mount at the end of the 7th century, almost 60 years after their occupation of Jerusalem. A few years later they built the Dome of the Rock on the exact location of the First and Second Temples. They built these two buildings for political reasons. They used a legend that said that Mohammed was taken in a dream by the Angel Gabriel to a mosque called El Aksa in Mecca. They changed the legend to state that the mosque was in Jerusalem. Even though no such mosque had ever existed on the Temple Mount during the time of Mohammed. In this way they wanted to give a legitimacy to their imperialistic occupation of Jerusalem and the land of Israel.

The Dome of the Rock was built in an attempt by the ruler of the northern, Omaic, part of the Islamic Empire to prevent their people going to Mecca which was part of the southern, Abassic, part of the empire and returning with Abassic sympathies while the two parts of the empire were at war. However, when the Abassic ruler died the people continued to go to Mecca and the Dome became almost unknown in the Islamic world. This shows how they used religious terms which they created to progress political goals.

In the same way they destroyed or altered Christian churches in all parts of the Islamic empire and built mosques. The most well known place is the Aya Sophia church in Constantinople which they renamed as Istanbul. In the same way they changed the name of Jerusalem to El Kuds. They changed the church, which was the focus of Eastern Christianity, into a mosque.

The godly liberation of Jerusalem by Israel in 1967 saved the eternal capital of Israel, the city of King David which G-d chose for Israel, especially for the end-time prophetic purposes, from her long imperialistic occupation and from her false evil name - El Kuds. By the will of G-d the Holy City of G-d again became Yerushalaim and again the eternal capital of Israel. On the 4th day of this godly war the army of G-d and Israel liberated the Temple Mount and again brought about the unity between the Hill of G-d and the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It was the sinful painful mistake of the then Defence Minister of Israel, Moshe Dayan, which called the Arabs and gave them the keys of the Temple Mount to continue their foreign pagan worship on the location of the First and Second Temples. G-d gave him the biggest moment in the life of Israel to stop the long Islamic occupation of this Holy Hill of G-d and Israel and to rebuild the Temple and to begin the accomplishment of the end-time redemption of Israel and of all the world. This big prophetic moment unfortunately met the weakness of the leadership of Israel which missed the big godly moment. I know and believe that this will not be for long because G-d will never give up his end-time prophetic plans to accomplish the redemption of Israel, to rebuild His house on Mt.Moriah and to bring Mashiach ben David for Israel and for all mankind.

However the Arabs on the Temple Mount saw this act as weakness. They saw that they had a chance to reverse the results of the war and to continue their long foreign occupation of the Temple Mount, Jerusalem and the land of Israel. One of their first steps was to deny the deep linkage between Israel, the Temple Mount, Jerusalem and the land which G-d gave to Israel in an eternal covenant. The destruction which they have caused on the Temple Mount over the last few years is a main part of it because they know the significance of the Temple Mount for the Israeli identity of this land.

In this way they have destroyed very unique and special archeological remains from the First and Second Temple. This destruction cannot be reversed. Israel and all the world has lost the most holy remains in the world which could be only found in one place, on the Temple Mount. Other remains which could not be destroyed they covered with tons of earth and planted trees and made gardens. They built big Islamic prayer platforms all over the Temple Mount to make any free space Islamic. In front of the Holy of Holies they placed a memorial stone which calls everyone to hate Jews and Israelis - such a terrible abomination and evil. They built other constructions and made the beautiful Eastern Gate into another Islamic center and library. This gate was closed by them a few hundred years earlier and a Moslem cemetery was made in front of it. They believed that in this way they can stop the Maschiach from entering into the Temple Mount - such an illusion!

One year ago they accomplished the destruction of the so-called "Solomon's Stables" and turned this very holy place, which was an important part of the Second Temple complex which had remained intact until our time, into another mosque.

Unfortunately the government of Israel and the legal authorities were not strong enough to stop this barbaric abominations and destruction. They were afraid that if they tried to stop it the Arabs and Moslems in Israel and all over the world would demonstrate. Such weakness which preferred to surrender to the threats of the enemies of G-d and Israel rather than to obey and trust the Eternal G-d of Israel Who promised them through all the prophets that He would not allow any of their enemies to touch Israel when He fulfills His end-time prophetic plans with His people.

The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement has made many petitions to the Israeli Supreme Court to have this evil destruction stopped which contravenes all the laws of Israel. The Supreme Court recognized the terrible destruction which was being done but did not have the strength and political backing of the government to stop it, to save the Temple Mount and its archeological remains and to arrest the criminal barbaric destroyers. The result is that on the most holy place of Israel and the universe there are today three mosques against the will of G-d and any humanistic ideals.

Recently the Arabs have renewed their destruction of the Jewish remains of the First and Second Temples. They are now destroying the beautiful and holy remains of the Hulda Tunnel and are building a fourth mosque in its place. This tunnel was the main entrance onto the Temple Mount through the southern Hulda gates which King Herod built inside the Temple Mount. Millions of Jewish pilgrims made their way to the Temple through this holy tunnel. On the walls and ceiling of the tunnel were gorgeous ornamental designs of the seven holy fruits which were chiseled in relief. These designs, including beautiful marble pillars from the middle of the tunnel, were destroyed and covered by cement. This evil destruction still continues as you read this.

The Israeli authorities who discovered this terrible destruction tried to stop it but the Arabs did not obey and stated that they do not recognize Israeli sovereignty on the Temple Mount. The Israelis were again afraid of Arab demonstrations and violence and so decided to drop the matter. Again this is an appearance of weakness which the G-d of Israel will never accept. The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement called on the Israeli authorities not to fear the violence of the Arab enemy but to trust in G-d and to do what He expects of them to do and not to allow this terrible abomination and for once and all to remove it from His Holy Hill. The Movement, together with its lawyer, are preparing an urgent petition to the Supreme Court. We will do everything legally possible to stop this evil abomination on the Holy Hill of G-d which is the focus of all the earth and where everyone in Israel and all over the world desires to see His House rebuilt. We do not fear the enemies of flesh and blood. We trust only the Eternal G-d of Israel. We are optimistic. G-d willing we shall overcome all the enemies of G-d and Israel. Soon we shall all see only the House of G-d on His Hill. Everyone is called on to support us in this critical struggle. We are your messengers.
