A celebrated production of the History Channel.
Approximate length - 60 minutes.
Great and Holy is God's world --- and the Land of
Israel is the holiest land in His world. In the Land of
Israel is the holy city of Jerusalem and inside
Jerusalem the holiest place is the site of the Temple.
And in the heart of the Temple was the Holy of
Holies, resting place of the Ark of the Covenant ---
the footstool of the Almighty.
For more than 350 years the Temple Solomon built
stood atop Mount Moriah – until the Babylonians
destroyed it in 586 BC, and took the Children of
Israel into captivity.
On their return, the Jews worked for 23 years to
build another Temple. Centuries later this Second
Temple was again rebuilt, by King Herod (37-4
BCE) – and this time the work took 46 years.
Then as a Great Jewish Revolt shook the land, the
Roman legions mercilessly broke into the sacred
precinct on Tu b'Av - the fifteenth day of the month
of Av 70 CE - and razed the Holy Temple to the
ground.
"Today the Western Wall, the so-called Wailing
Wall, is all that remains of the Second Temple.
And to this day, Jews around the world pray
three times a day for the Temple's restoration.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem They that love
thee shall prosper Peace be within thy walls,
and prosperity within thy palaces."
Psalm 122
Take a fascinating, unforgettable journey back in
time to the depths and mysteries of Jerusalem
Temple.
