Jerusalem Temple - foreshadowing, terminology and history

Summary/Abstract: The Jerusalem Temple was erected on Mount Moria in the central part of the eastern ridge on which Jerusalem was built. Without a doubt, it was one of the most fascinating buildings in the ancient world, both in religious and architectural terms. Although scientific work has been carried out there for nearly 150 years and one can find its results in many books and scientific articles, it seems that the theme of the central hill of the Holy City is still not exhausted. Among many scientists studying the issue of the Holy Hill, world-famous archaeologists should be mentioned, among them Benjamin Mazar (1906–1995), the author of many valuable monographs and articles, such as The Mountain of the Lord or Biblical Israel. Also worth mentioning is Leen Ritmeyer, author of The Quest. Revealing the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which became a valuable help in the creation of this article. The study aim is to present predictions about the temple, which on the one hand became the prophetic will of God, and on the other hand, the desire of King David, who, feeling some kind of remorse, wants to build a house for his Lord, God Yahweh. In the next part, the article shows the history of the Temple of Solomon and its successor, called the second Temple of Herod. Although this topic has been touched upon many times, it is worth looking again at the Jerusalem Temple, which is a valuable testimony to the faith and presence of God in this holy place.
