The Original Setting for the Temple and the Atonement

For centuries there has been tension between Jews, Christians, and Muslims over what is believed to be the home of the Jerusalem temples—the Temple Mount. Contained in the following seven chapters is evidence for a better location—one based on archetypes that conform to ancient temple patterns given of God, along with foundational support of scripture and historical sources. The journey to locate Solomon's Temple and those following it allows each archetype to be addressed one at a time in a single chapter, providing detail and understanding. They center on important temple concepts including living water, consuming fire, the creation mound, centrality, and more. As this journey unfolds, tradition and error are replaced with truth and light—at least for those who will receive it. Most importantly, greater understanding unfolds regarding our Savior Jesus Christ and His Atonement, the central focus of the ancient temple and its sacrifices and other ordinances. Why did God establish His temple in Jerusalem? In what setting did He place it, and why? Answers to these simple questions uncover important temple patterns, archetypes, and insights—those tied to Christ, Abraham, Melchizedek, and Enoch, and the core teachings they wished to share with their people.
