Hi JOE and crew
Book review, by loren hough;
Second Temple
When the Temple was rebuilt after the Babylonian captivity, the Ark was no longer present in the Holy of Holies; instead, a portion of the floor was raised slightly to indicate the place where it had stood.
Josephus records that Pompey profaned the Temple by insisting on entering the Holy of Holies.
'Columbus and the Quest for Jerusalem': How Religion Drove the Voyages that Led to America; by
Carol Delaney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia professor at Stanford University
http://www.carolldelaney.com/ Carol Delaney's website; ... Interview with John Shuck about Columbus and the Quest for Jerusalem:
“A new and provocative interpretation of Columbus. Carol Delaney
uses her training as a cultural anthropologist to brilliantly explicate
Columbus’s strange, apocalyptic world. By being more sensitive to
the differentness of the past than most historians, she has written a
remarkable work of history, and one that is utterly accessible.”
– Gordon S. Wood, author of The Idea of America:
Reflections on the Birth of the United States
Five hundred years after he set sail, the prevailing view of Christopher Columbus
holds him responsible for everything that went wrong in the New World. Now,
anthropologist Carol Delaney reveals Columbus’s real motive for undertaking his
voyage—one that stands to radically change our understanding of him.
Through field work at the key sites of Columbus’s life and extensive archival
research, Delaney discovered that Columbus himself had clearly stated the ultimate
purpose of his voyages: He intended to sail to Asia and obtain gold, through trade,
in order to finance a crusade to take back Jerusalem from the Muslims.
In Columbus’s day, it was widely believed that Jerusalem must be in Christian hands before Christ would return prior to the end of the world.
Columbus believed he had
an important role to play in this apocalyptic drama. Delaney shows him to have
been neither a greedy imperialist nor a ruthless adventurer, as he has lately been
depicted, but a man driven by an abiding religious passion.
I found this book at Stanford sitting in the big chair, looking out the window were the billionair authors talk on how they made a 1000 to 1 on Skype, on sand hill tee.
What this book says; is the prime reason to go west was to meet with the empira of china and to get him to go to war with the west to take Jerusalem together and build the new Solomon's Temple, have you heard of this? The more you think about the holly roman Venice connections with China sharing trade gold maps ideas over 500 yrs would lead to this. etc.

Solomon's Temple - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Temple according to the Bible
The only source of information on the First Temple is the Hebrew Bible (or Old Testament). According to the biblical sources, the temple was constructed under King Solomon during the united monarchy of Israel and Judah. This puts the date of its construction in the mid-10th century BCE.[2] Some scholars have speculated that a Jebusite sanctuary may have previously occupied the site.[3][not specific enough to verify] During the kingdom of Judah, the temple was dedicated to Yahweh, the god of Israel, and is said to have housed the Ark of the Covenant.[4] Rabbinic sources[which?] state that the First Temple stood for 410 years and, based on the 2nd-century work Seder Olam Rabbah, place construction in 832 BCE and destruction in 422 BCE (3338 AM), 165 years later than secular estimates.
The exact location of the Temple is unknown: it is believed to have been situated upon the hill which forms the site of the 1st century Second Temple and present-day Temple Mount, where the Dome of the Rock is situated.

According to the Hebrew Bible, the Temple was plundered by the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar when the Babylonians attacked Jerusalem during the brief reign of Jehoiachin c. 598 (2 Kings 24:13), Josiah's grandson. A decade later, Nebuchadnezzar again besieged Jerusalem and after 30 months finally breached the city walls in 587 BCE, subsequently burning the Temple, along with most of the city (2 Kings 25). According to Jewish tradition, the Temple was destroyed on Tisha B'Av, the 9th day of Av (Hebrew calendar)-
