“This is the law of the temple: The whole area surrounding the mountaintop is most holy. Behold, this is the law of the temple.” Ezekiel 43:12

The Holy mountaintop is where the earthly temple had always been located [Mt Moriah], which is known as the Temple Mount. This place was to be considered most Holy. This is the place where king Solomon built the very first temple of God. That temple was destroyed in 597BC. The second temple was built in 516BC then destroyed in 70AD. The temple has never been rebuilt since. However, in its place today, is what is known as the Dome of the Rock which is seen in Jerusalem to this day. This is the golden dome that is built on top of the ruins of the temple that Solomon built, which is the site of the ruins of the second temple. That Dome of the Rock was built in 691AD by the Islamic/Muslim people who conquered Jerusalem. However, in the “Six Day War”, Israel recaptured the Temple Mount, but its management remains in the hands of the Islamic/Muslim people. Today, the Temple Mount is in East Jerusalem of the West Bank, and no longer in West Jerusalem of Israel.

The temple of God is not made with human hands and is not a place on this earth. There will be no “Third Temple” built on this earth because the New Jerusalem of the new heaven and earth is the place of God’s Temple. Temples of this earth are broken into and destroyed, but the temple of God is not built by human hands and cannot be broken into and destroyed, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21

The “law of the temple” refers to our body as the temple of the Holy Spirit. The whole area of our spirit and soul, surrounding the place where Jesus Christ lives within us, is most Holy. That is the law of the temple, that our body is created by God to be His Holy place. The Holy Spirit in us is the guarantee of our inheritance in the New Jerusalem where the throne of God exists, Ephesians 1:13-14.

Below is a picture of the Dome of the Rock [Golden Dome], which the Islamic/Muslim culture claims as being among the three Muslim holiest sites, it is actually in the third place after Mecca and Medina. When the Israeli army captured the Temple Mount during the Six Day War in 1967, Arik Achmon and Ezra Orni, two Israeli paratroopers, climbed up the Dome of the Rock and hung the Israeli flag on top of it until Moshe Dayan, the then Israeli Defense Minister, ordered it to be taken down, saying, “Do you want to see the Middle East on fire?”

….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,
I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.
I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
