God is speaking loudly to the Jews, But once again they are not listening

A Burdensome Stone Second Temple Quarry find gets little coverage in press THE GOLDEN REPORT - By Jerry Golden - October 18, 2007 God has His ways of reminding us when we go in the wrong direction, and He has once again done that with the Jews of Israel. He has reminded us that He gave us the stewardship of the Temple Mount. Just a few weeks ago Israeli Archaeologists discovered the quarry that King Herod cut the stones from for the Second Temple and the Western Wall that we now call the most Holy Site in Israel. At a time when the most unpopular Prime Minister with no mandate from the Jews of Israel is willing to negotiate it away to the enemies of God and of Israel. This second Temple Quarry was found while Israeli archaeologists were inspecting the location to build a religious orthodox school. But I find it interesting that God allowed it to be discovered at this time in hopes of getting the Prime Minister and others in the Knesset who have sold Israel out to the enemies and are under the spell of Bush and Rice for the final destruction of Israel. - - - This excavation only exposes around 30% of the actual size of the quarry. The stone is called the “Kings Stone (“melcheh”) and it is the same stone that you will find at the Western Wall. It’s the stone most suitable for construction and is appropriate for regal buildings. “Melcheh” is a dense but soft limestone that is easy to quarry. It’s advantage is that one can quarry large blocks from it. It’s especially suitable for monumental building projects because the stone is smooth and is not marred by vains of stripes. Upon first being quarried “melcheh” stone appears white and shiny. Exposed to the sun makes it even harder and turns it to a light grey that resembles Italian marble. As a result, a structure built of “melcheh” stone actually becomes more durable with time. The ancient quarry is located on the top of a large Jewish religious neighborhood in northern Jerusalem about 4 kilometers (about 3 miles) north of the Old City. The neighborhood is called in Hebrew “Ramat Shlomo” which means the “hill of Solomon”. In addition the Israeli Archaeologists discovered the road that leads from this site to the Old City, and it is all down hill making it the most likely spot to bring the stones of such large size to the Temple Mount. This should be the find of the century but it hardly gets any news coverage, there was a small piece in the Jerusalem Post last week about it but nothing more. - - - - http://www.thegoldenreport.com/asp/jerrysnewsmanager/anmviewer.asp?a=1186&z=1 FAIR USE NOTICE: This blog contains copyrighted material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.
