THE REAL MOST ABSTRACT UNDERSTANDING OF THE "TEMPLE" CONCEPT
AS IN THE CONCEPT OF THE "TEMPLE COMPLEX" WHEN APPLIED STARTING FROM THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE RANK OF THE CREATION MODEL!
After our standard overview of the true Identities involved in the making of the structure, we connect this TEMPLE COMPLEX to the original spiritual principles found in the Bible/Quran and Jewish scriptures. This will reveal a new way of understanding the concept of JERUSALEM in the spiritual sense that will fit with our previously developed identities of Israel and Judaism etc. At this junction we can also make big connections to the spiritual meanings of what is considered a material structure like what is known as the MASJID AQSA Quranically (which is linked to the AQSA MOSQUE by many/most people).
This means a different and more consistent understanding of the events of the ISRAA/MAARAJ or the Night's Journey from the Quran and Hadiths. And we will find a different but better understanding of the meaning of the concept of "WESTERN WALL" and its connection to our TEMPLATE OF UNDERSTANDING that we practice and apply to our prayer models.
ANCIENT JERUSALEM/CITY OF DAVID
BAALBECK IN LEBANON!
As customary by now, we will also examine the evidence for and against the competing theories of where the JERUSALEM referenced in the material sense of the ancient city lies today on the Modern Maps of the world. That means comparing the BEQAA VALLEY and BAALBEK'S TEMPLE COMPLEX to what we know about the HISTORICAL JERUSALEM and why I believe that the Temple Mount in Palestine has nothing to do with these historical places, nor does the "Dome of the Rock" have anything to do with this topic as far as I am concerned or have been shown.
There are sooo many angles to go about this but if you simply consider the Fresh Water issue alone then it's more than enough for any reasonable investigator to understand why there is only one theory that at least makes sense before attempting to select which is more true!
But the other big topic here is the physical temple complex and its disassociation with the Jewish Temple known in history. Similarly, a lot of different pathways appear to us once the limits imposed by our understanding of where Jerusalem was as confined to the borders of Modern Day Palestine, then the location of the temple becomes as obvious as the answers to the lingering questions about Baalbek and the discrepancy between the effort and scale of its constructions and its absence from the historical record. You'll get it...
