The Moslems built this mosque, beginning in 691 A. D., that is located over a great white rock that is thought to have been the rock on which Abraham almost offered his son Isaac In examining the temple area, and no ticing the location of the rock, it is possible that the temples stood just to the west where the mosque now stands, and the great altar of burnt offering stood on the rock itself Th:' is concluded in view of the fact that the temples and the earlier tabernacle all faced the east, and the brazen Laver, used for cere monial cleansing, and the great al tar stood in front The temples that stood in that area faced the Mount of Olives', overlooking the Kedron Valley.

It was indeed interesting to observe the reverence and honor given to Christ and the great Hebrew prnph ets The belief of Moslems concern ing Christ is that he was not bom of her, but God created Him as Adam was created and presented to her as an infant. The guide said to me, “We just do not believe that God was ever married ” I ttfied-te ex plain to him that, according to Scriptural interpretations, the Holy Spirit was Die Father of the Child in that the male cell was created within the Virgin Mary, and that He was born as any other child would .be He was probably of the same opinion still, but I tried. How ever. they do believe in the resur rection and ascension of Christ, and accept Him as a great Prophet I also asked the guide about the statement I had heard about Mo hammed ascending up into heaven from the rock that is now in the Mosque of Omar. He said. “Oh no! We believe that Mohammed’s soul ascended ink) heaven as does any other man’s soul Jesus Christ was the only man ever to ascend into heaven.” Mohammed is their chief prophet, but they do not like to be called Mohammedans.

D. by Titus of Rome. | It is at this wall that Jews have lamented the fate of Jerusalem and prayed for the coming of the Mes siah and the restoration of their former glory. It is located at the southwest corner of the temple area and serves as a retaining wall It is built of enormous stones. The pavement at its base is» large en ough to accommodate many wor shippers. Since the war of 1948, and the division of the country between the Arabs and the Jews, the latter are no longer able to worship there, but have made a shnne of Mt. Zion, on their side of the city wall, and substitute it for the Wailing Wall.
