The question that should be asked is this: How was it at all possible that the Tannaim of Ancient Israel codified the Mishnah after the obliteration of the Temple and failure of the Bar Kochba revolt in the second century. For the Mishnah deals in the exquisite details of the Temple Service and the Moedim (festivals) celebrated therein. For TWO THOUSAND YEARS Jews have been laboring with great devotion and longing over the proper execution of the Divine Service on the Temple Mount. The Temple Mount meant nothing to Muhammed who never saw it. Perhaps he could have known of its existence. But after the 900 Jews of Qurayza refused to convert to his new religion, he decapitated them in front of their screaming wives and daughters whom he then raped. He knew at that moment that massive genocide would be his path to glory. This he taught to his followers. For thirteen hundred years Muslims have been waging Jihad with great devotion and longing over the proper execution of the enemies of their god. That is why ISIS/Al Qaida has raped tortured and cut the heads off thousands of screaming little girls and women in the last few months. They are the infidel occupiers of the ‘Califate’ and ISIS loves to kill them. The ISIS psycopaths are the darlings of the so called “Palestinians”, the heros of Allah. The god of Islam is DEATH! Why don’t people understand this? Islams have no more right to set foot on the Temple Mount than my dog has a right to crap on your dinner plate. What the United Stated must do in no uncertain terms is to tell the world that this is so, and that we will assist Israel in her long overdue job of taking out the Trash.
The Muslims are squatters, nothing more.
I have just read the first 5 books of the Torah (actually I am almost done with Deuteronomy). The detail given in those books is amazing. What also strikes me is the sheer power of God, and His tremendous care for the people of Israel. He also is NOT someone to be trifled with.
