A recent discovery
near the Western Wall of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem provides yet another
piece of evidence that the mount is the location of the ancient Jewish
temples. The artifact identified with ancient
Hebrew letters that spell the word “beka”
is believed to be a counter weight used to measure the half-shekel tax (EX
38:26). A video featuring Archaeologist
Eli Shukron can be found here.
These types of discoveries add to the
growing amount of evidence that argues for the Temple Mount as being the
location of the first and second Jewish temples. The importance of the Temple Mount and its
relationship with the Jewish temples is becoming more popular as can be seen in
a coming convention
to be held at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem on Dec. 5, 2018.

Mount 18 Jerusalem Convention for more details.
