GUIDELINES

for the 4th SYNAGOGUE-TEMPLE of JERUSALEM

STRUCTURE and WORSHIP 

The Court of the 4th Temple

c  copyright   Natan 2007

To the East of the 4thTemple restored on its authentic site designated to David by YHVH , and in the west-east axis, the Main Court will be extended so as to span the whole Esplanade over the Kidron Valley (in direction of the Mount of Olives) :

Thus, the worshippers will be able to pray towards the Temple-Shekinah in the ritual east-west axis, rigorously prescribed in the Bible.

This huge Esplanade will be lined to the north, to the south and to the west, by three rows of High Porticoes, similar to the High Porticoes described by Flavius Josephus for the Herodian Temple.

Between these three rows of High Porticoes , retractable velums will be able to protect worshippers from the sun.

Along the north and south rows of Porticoes (and inside the Court) a storey will be installed for women.

The 4th Temple

c  copyright   Natan 2007 

The Model of the 4th Temple will be :

-  for the architectural plan of the Sanctuary, the Meeting Tent of Moses, and its dimensions will respect the initial proportions, as described in the Bible.

-  for the materials of construction and ornamental realisation, the model will be the first Temple of Solomon as described in the Bible while excluding the Annex. (The architecture model of the third Temple of Herod will not be taken into account since the Herodian concept had denatured and desecrated the Sanctuary by building atop the Holy of Hollies (over which the Shekinah is coming down) a pagan storey.) 

The Holy of Hollies will contain the Ark of the Covenant and its Tablets, guarded by the two Solomon gold Cherubins.

The Holy of Hollies will permanently irradiate, and the Words of the Ten Commandments will appear, day and night, on the three external walls, in Hebraic (east), in English (north) and in Arabic (south). 

The Holy, whose walls will be transparent, will contain the three Moses Tent sacred objects : the seven branches Candelabrum lit day and night (model on Titus Arch), the bread Altar, and the incense Altar.

The Platform of the 4th Temple

c  copyright   Natan 2007 

The Platform of the 4th Temple will be a square of 180 meters x 180 meters, according to Flavius Josephus testimony, and in order to counterbalance  and cure definitely Emperor Hadrian’s machiavellian destruction. 

The Height of this Platform will be decided according to an overall study.

The Words of the Torah (Pentateuch ) will appear, day and night, on its three external walls, in Hebraic (west), in English (north) and in Arabic (south).

The Altar and the brazen Laver

c  copyright   Natan 2007

The Altar will be between the Temple and the Court.

On the Altar will be installed the Coffer containing the Torah as in any Synagogue.

 The brazen Laver will be made on the model and dimensions of the huge Solomonian Laver resting on the backs of twelve Oxes.

This brazen Laver will be provided with ever-flowing Source Waters , which will, then, pour down from the Laver into Mikwehs intended for the Rabbis and Rabbis-Priests conducting the collective Worship.

The required Purification virtue of this Water, circulating permanently in close circuit by means of activating electricity power, will be conferred by a special Aqueduct bringing the necessary insemination of ever-flowing Source Waters (in the same way as the Hydraulic System which had been installed by the Jewish hydraulic engineers, in the bedrock of the nowadays Haram Mount, in order to provide the required ever-flowing Purifying Source Waters to the three vanished Temples which were successively standing, gloriously and forcibly DOWNSTREAM, on a vanished platform :

The Worship to the Shekinah in the 4th Synagogue-Temple

c  copyright   Natan 2007

The Worship in the 4th Temple will be similar to the Worship in any Synagogue, and will be conducted by Rabbis or Rabbis-Priests.

But, as the Worship in Synagogue is derived from the Worship in the Temple , as often as possible, the Rules of the Cult will tend to go back to the initial Rules.

Once a year, the Day of Atonement , the Chief Rabbi or Chief Rabbi-Priest, after having taken the ritual immersion bath of Purification, will enter the Holy of Hollies, for a few minutes, in order to burn incense and purify All Israel.
