Jerusalem: Encyclopedia - Before Jerusalem Fell

Before Jerusalem Fell is a scholarly work written by Kenneth Gentry as his ThD dissertation in theology from Whitefield Theological Seminary which has since been published as a book. The book presents a sustained argument from fields such as exegesis, ancient history,textual criticism, archaeology and theology for why the Book of Revelation was written before the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 some time during the reign of Roman emperor Nero. Gentry argues that Nero Caesar is the "sixth king" presently ruling (Rev. 17:10) who funct ...

Jerusalem: Spiritual Theosophical Dictionary on Jerusalem

Jerusalem, Jerosalem (Septuag.) and Hierosolyma (Vulgate). In Hebrew it is written Yrshlim or "city of peace",but the ancient Greeks called it pertinently Hierosalem or "Secret Salem", since Jerusalem is a rebirth from Salem of which Melchizedek was the King-Hierophant, a declared Astrolator and worshipper of the Sun,’"the Most High" by-the-bye. There also Adoni-Zedek reigned in his turn, and was the last of its Amorite Sovereigns.

He allied himself with four others, and these five kings went to conquer back Gideon, but (according to Joshua X) came out of the affray second best. And no wonder, since these five kings were opposed, not only by Joshua but by the "Lord God", and by the Sun and the Moon also. On that day, we read, at the command of the successor of Moses, "the sun stood still and the moon stayed" (v. 13) for the whole day. No mortal man, king or yeoman, could withstand, of course, such a shower "of great stones from heaven" as was cast upon them by the Lord himself . . . . "from Beth-horon unto Azekah" "and they died" (v. ii). After having died they "fled and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah" (v. i6). It appears, however, that such undignified behaviour in a God received its Karmic punishment afterwards.

At different epochs of history, the Temple of the Jewish Lord was sacked, ruined and burnt (See"Mount Moriah") - holy ark of the covenant, cherubs, Shekinah and all, but that deity seemed as powerless to protect his property from desecration as though they were no more stones left in heaven. After Pompey had taken the Second Temple in 63, B.c., and the third one, built by Herod the Great, had been razed to the ground by the Romans, in 70 A.D., no new temple was allowed to be built in the capital of the "chosen people" of the Lord. In spite of the Crusades, since the XIIIth century Jerusalem has belonged to the Mahommedans, and almost every site holy and dear to the memory of the old Israelites, and also of the Christians, is now covered by minarets and mosques, Turkish barracks and other monuments of Islam.
