If this is truly the site, could they not fullfill their prophecies by building again on this site instead of the one at the temple mound? Would this not be a more holy site than the second one which would have meant the second site was just for show and more grandiose? so taht Herod was more concerned with size and display than actual ritual?<br />Hypnovatoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959801151825593183noreply@blogger.com
