| Beckoning The Antichrist To Come And Solve The Dangers Of The Temple Mount
The Old City of Jerusalem is that fortunate one-third of a square mile in the world where holy sites of the three major monotheistic religions are intimately contained. In its four quarters are the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Via Dolorosa, the Western Wall, and the Temple Mount, upon which sit the al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, an Islamic shrine and one of the Middle East's most recognizable buildings. For Jews, as Ruth Margalit explains, the Temple Mount “is where Abraham almost sacrificed Isaac, and where God gathered the dust that created Adam.

The Western Wall, the extant remnant of the wall that flanked the courtyard of the Second Temple, is the holiest site in Judaism.” |

There are currently two Jewish temples that have survived since they were built thousands of years ago. Glick, who was seriously wounded in the attack, is leading the campaign to allow Jews to pray on the site. Meanwhile, the collapse of peace talks, the war in Gaza against Hamas and the continued resettlement of Israelis in east Jerusalem added to the growing distrust between Israelis and Palestinians. The recent turn of events has caught the attention of the United States that previously brokered peace talks between... |
