7:20 PM Friday The Temple Mount Entrance to The Dome of the Rock

As I sat in the rain, I noticed it was becoming dusk earlier than normal due to the rain and cloud cover. There were twenty-four more days of rain in the area however Israel was not getting what most of Northern Africa was getting so the rain was light here. It did not bother me much for so much of my time on earth had always been outdoors or in caves. So much for being a Prophet of Adonai, I thought. The comforts of a boardroom or a castle were not the areas Prophets lived and worked in. That was not the way Adonai, worked. Prophets were poor, and lived among the people so a little rain would not hurt. At, the moment the rain felt refreshing for it was almost summer. If it were not raining in would be very hot.

I glanced at the sky and then around the entrance to the Temple Mount. There were a few hanger-on’s watching me but that was about all. Mostly rabbis and some that I assumed were Palestinians and a few news people. The initial excitement was over and the rain was keeping people away.

Its occupation over the years included the crusaders, Masons, and Knights Templar. In 1187, it was again under Muslim control and the cross on top of the dome was, replaced by a crescent. It originally had been, used as a resting place for Muslims and a shrine for pilgrims, not as a Mosque. In 1927, it had nearly, been destroyed by an earthquake but was later repaired. The Jews themselves captured it during the 6-day war 1967. In order to keep peace the leader of the Israelis Moshe Dayan gave control of the dome to the Muslim Waqf. The Iranians have also sanctified the dome of the Rock in their paper money.

The Rabbinates in Israel wanted to prohibit Jews from entering the Temple Mount for they did not know the exact location of the Holy of holies in the Temple. Only high priests were, allowed in the holy of holies. Well once this portion of my mission is completed, I
