Are you ready to uncover the deep spiritual and historical roots of the most contested piece of real estate on earth? Join John Barnett as we explore the profound significance of the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.
In this session, we will look at ancient traditions, undeniable history, and the explicit declarations of Scripture to understand why this city is the focal point of God’s plan. Here is what we will cover:
1. The Foundation Stone of the World
Scripture References: General biblical narratives regarding Adam, the Garden of Eden, and the Cross.
Summary of Coverage: We will explore the fascinating traditions held by both Orthodox Jews and Roman Catholics regarding the bedrock of Jerusalem. You will learn about the belief that the foundation stone of the earth lies beneath the Temple Mount, that the Garden of Eden was located there, and the Catholic theology that Adam was buried directly beneath where Jesus was crucified, allowing Christ’s blood to literally drop down onto Adam.
2. A History Written in Stone (The Western Wall)
Scripture References: Haggai (referencing Zerubbabel’s rebuilding of the temple).
Summary of Coverage: Did you know that the only visible remnant of the Jerusalem that Jesus walked in is the Western Wall? We will read the massive, 10-foot signs placed at the wall by observant Jews to trace the undeniable historical facts: Solomon built the first temple 3,000 years ago, Nebuchadnezzar destroyed it in 586 BC, it was rebuilt 70 years later, and finally razed by Roman legions in AD 70. Today, it remains a powerful place where Jews pray daily for the rebuilding of the temple.
3. The City of the Great King
Scripture References: 1 Kings 11:36; Psalm 48; Psalm 87.
Summary of Coverage: Out of all the cities in the world, why is Jerusalem so vital? Simply put: because God explicitly chose it as His city. We will dive into the Psalms and 1 Kings to see how God placed His name there forever. You will discover why the Lord loves the "gates of Zion" more than any other dwelling place, and why David commands us to walk about Zion, mark her bulwarks, and tell of her glory to the generations following.
