December 15, 2017 -- Dome of the Rock as the Third Temple?

Nuba Inscription

In 2016, Assaf Avraham and Peretz Reuven presented evidence (based in large part on the Nuba Inscription) that early Islamic tradition associated the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount with the Biblical Temple, calling it the Bayt al-Maqdis, the “House of Sanctuary,” or “Holy Temple.”  In other words, the Dome of the Rock was understood by the Moslems as the reestablishment or reconstruction of the Jewish Temple.  The work of Avraham and Reuven can be found in its Hebrew original on Academia.edu.  A video is available on the Nuba Inscription that identifies the Dome of the Rock with the Jewish Temple.
