Tuvia Sagiv
Iyar 5764, May 10, 2004
Editors Note: In his geophysical research at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, using Thermal Infra Red imagery, Tuvia Sagiv has shown that the ancient foundation under the Dome of the Rock is apparently octagonal. Such a foundation is more consistent with an original pagan helgedom having existed there before the Dome of the Rock was built in 691 A.D. (See Penetrating Insights into the Temple Mount,http://templemount.org/radarir.html. 1993-1995)
Sagiv found a similar octagonal foundation at Caesarea at the site of Stato's tower, which was built in the 5th Century B.C. The name of Strato's Tower preserves the name of the goddess 'Ashtrt ('Ashtoreth'), the well-known Canaanite goddess. Thus the site of the Dome of the Rock may have originally been a Canaanite High Place dedicated to Ashteroth. If so, Sagiv believes the Jews would have built the First and Second Temples below the summit of Mount Moriah deliberately to disassociate

Time for a Temple?

The most volatile 35 acres on earth are undoubtedly those comprising a rectangular platform in East Jerusalem on which the ancient Jewish Temple once stood. Both the Old Testament (Isa. 2:2–3; Ezek. 37:26–28; 40–48; Dan. 9:27; Mic. 4:1–2; Hag. 2:7–9; Zech. 6:12–15; 14:20) and the New Testament (Mt. 24:15; Mk. 13:14; 2 Th. 2:4; Rev. 11:1–2) affirm that a new Temple will once again occupy this platform as part of God’s end-time program for the nation of Israel. What evidence is there in Israel today that this predicted rebuilding is close to becoming a reality?
The Prayer for the Temple
Since the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans in 70 A.D., Jewish prayers have been made for its rebuilding. Such a precedent was set by the Prophet Daniel while in Babylonian exile (Dan. 9:17), and Orthodox Jews—the denomination most desirous of a Third Temple—today recite three times daily the words: “May it be Thy will that the Temp

Methodology
The starting point for the research of Jerusalem has been that the Mt. Moriah Compound - the Haram el Sharif- is the Temple Mount as expanded by Herod.
This assumption became the paradigm, but casting doub
