One of the highlights of our time up on this Temple Mount my trip was to stand on a slab of rock that is identified by a small gazebo (See Picture Above). This is believed to be the spot that the Most Holy Place of the Jewish Temple was located. It was a thrill to stand on this spot, as I really felt the …
As I reflected on the significance of standing on Mount Moriah on this spot, we discussed as a group all of the significant events of the Bible that occurred on this mountain. You see this is the mountain that God tested Abraham by calling him to sacrifice his son, Isaac.
It is also the location of the threshing floor that David bought so that he could offer a sacrifice to God. And then in turn, it was the location that David’s son, King Solomon, would build the Jewish Temple. And it was on this spot that the Most Holy Place was located that the High Priest would enter once a year to offer a sacrifice for the sins of all the people. And it is also the location that the curtain temple, which separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place was torn in two from top to bottom, when Jesus died on the cross!
