Ancestor.com is running a commercial of an African American man who has used Ancestor.com and he says he, "Found his great-grandfather was born a slave, but died a business man. It meant everything to me."

This is the Biblical version of this. And it happened in the
Second Exodus - we even know the date of the Siege of Jerusalem. 2 Adar (March 16) 597 B.C. From the Babylonian Chronicles photographed below.



These are the slaves who left Babylonian enslavement with all the Temple Tools made by Moses. 3 Babylonian Emperors held the people as slaves and the Temple Tools, yet they were made free. This is a monument built to King Darius explaining he decided to release the slaves and return the Temple Tools..... And to finance re-building the Temple. Only God.

Israel has had 3 Exodus events - one from Egypt (See Impuwer Document in the Netherlands Musuem) and the next from the Babylonian Empire. And in our grandparent's lifetime from the Holocaust. This rebuilding of Israel from complete destruction, regathering exiles from around the globe is a sign of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. No other nation. Only God.


Ishtar Gate - located in Babylon, where the slaves entered and left 60 years later. And 3 Emperors later. Located now in the Berlin Museum.
Arch of Titus in Rome - Mosaic of the Temple Tools taken from the 2nd Temple - minus the Ark of the Covenant that Jeremiah records hiding on Mount Nebo.



Temple Institute, located in Jerusalem today. They've rebuilt the Temple Tools waiting for the 3rd Temple.
The table for the bread

See the size of the Menorahs, these are raised on tables. These were used like we use Street Lights.
Model of the Temple by Alec Gerrard. Notice the Menorah in the model.
These are the people completely privileged to build the Temple

Ezekiel 22:30

And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.


Ezekiel wrote these words during the Babylonian enslavement. You would think the people - who were now amazingly free - would have built the Gates to the Temple willingly. No. This work of God had to go through human hum drums and tedium. There was a political tattle tale and religious methods of persuasion. The Governor of Israel had to get permission all around.The people were more interested in themselves before the building for the Lord. It is still an amazing act of God.

What is left of it today?

The Western Wall is prayed at because no other walls are standing - False. All four walls are actually standing. Why specially pray at the Western Wall? The answer is tradition: for long periods of time, this was the only side of the Temple Mount Jews had access to. Even today, the other walls (except for the South Wall, which was recently excavated) are dangerous, because they are in areas hostile to Jews.

The nation of Israel makes the Western Wall open to pilgrims from around the World.

The Western Wall for prayer is the entire western wall - False. The wall continues in both directions - the traditional "Western Wall" site is only a small portion of the actual western wall. The only section of it, is the one Israel has access to.

The Western Wall is a wall of the destroyed Temple - False. The four walls of the Temple Mount are not Temple's walls - they were the surrounding walls of the Temple, the outer walls that separated the Temple from Jerusalem.

According to Nehemiah,
The whole assembly of people gathered was 42,360. This work took 52 days. At the culmination -

Nehemiah 8

1And all the people gathered as one man into the square before the Water Gate. And they told Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses that the LORD had commanded Israel. 2So Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly, both men and women and all who could understand what they heard, on the first day of the seventh month. 3 And he read from it facing the square before the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women and those who could understand. And the ears of all the people were attentive to the Book of the Law.

4
And Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden platform that they had made for the purpose. And beside him stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah on his right hand, and Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam on his left hand. 5And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was above all the people, and as he opened it all the people stood. 6And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God, and all the people answered, "Amen, Amen," lifting up their hands. And they bowed their heads and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground. 7 Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, the Levites, helped the people to understand the Law, while the people remained in their places.

8
They read from the book, from the Law of God, clearly, and they gave the sense, so that the people understood the reading.

9And Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, "This day is holy to the LORD your God; do not mourn or weep." For all the people wept as they heard the words of the Law.

10
Then he said to them, "Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength." 11So the Levites calmed all the people, saying, "Be quiet, for this day is holy; do not be grieved." 12And all the people went their way to eat and drink and to send portions and to make great rejoicing, because they had understood the words that were declared to them.


Be with us, Father God, as we have our mustard seed of faith grow to become the largest tree in the garden. Let it be the increase of Your Holy Spirit within us. Help us to do the good works You have prepared in advance for us to do. May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify us through and through. May our whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
