Temple Picture
The Temple of Herod in the model of
Jerusalem at the Holyland Hotel. The model shows Jerusalem as it must have looked in 63
AD., the end of the Second Temple era, just before the Romans destroyed the
Temple in 70 AD. The models construction was supervised by Prof. Michael Avi
Yonah and was based on descriptions of the city given by Flavius Josephus, the
Talmuds, the
Mishna, the Tosephtha, recent archaeological discoveries, and contemporary sources.
The Western (Wailing) Wall is all that remains of the Jerusalem Temple where
Jesus ministered. Herod began the incredible remobeling project in 19 BC., and it
continued long after his death. It was completed in 63 AD., only 7 years before
the Romans destroyed the Temple in 70 AD.
