Jerusalem's Temple: Building the Most Detailed Depiction of Herod's Temple

[@matttrammell1808]

This needs more views. As a classical and gothic revival architect this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen and the temples of Jerusalem are a huge inspiration to me. LOVE THIS

[@TylerGriffinBYU]

Daniel Smith has been an amazing project manager throughout this journey. His attention to detail is second to none! Once the team finishes reconstructing Jerusalem, we hope to digitally reconstruct the rest of the Biblical world as accurately as possible, beginning with Galilee and then out into the major ares of the Jewish Diaspora mentioned in Paul's journeys (Turkey, Greece, Italy). From there we want to go further back in time and rebuild the world of the Old Testament region by region. Great scripture adventures await as we are able to create accurate replicas of these significant places in history.

[@KRRR820]

Did you guys realize that you didn’t actually show the temple in this video? You showed how you made it. But you didn’t actually give us a walk-through at any point. Just snippets and close-ups of tiles. Can we see the actual model with a narration of what everything is, and where everything is? I thought that was coming at the end, but it never did. This is a “how we did it” video.

[@messagesofChrist]

Thank you Tyler! Been great to work with you on the project!

[@madaboutjd]

He did say this was the first of the videos. Looking forward to the rest.

[@tayloreriley]

Absolutely stunning and magnificent model!!! How great it is to finally visualize the place where Jesus would have taught nearly 2,000 years ago. This is BY FAR the most accurate and detailed depiction of King Herod’s temple that I’ve personally ever seen. Well done!👏👏👏

Netanyahu is “Satan YAh u” that is to say “Satan God (Yah) U” He is the “man of lawlessness” mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2. He is the “son of perdition”. And as soon as he finishes building the “third temple” and sacrificing “red cows” to “conjure” Dajjal(SATAN), he will receive all of the Powers of Dajjal and declare himself to be GOD. 2 Thessalonians 2:1 - 17 1Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to Him, we ask you, brothers,2not to be easily disconcerted or alarmed by any spirit or message or letter seeming to be from us, alleging that the Day of the Lord has already come. 3Let no one deceive you in any way, for it will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness-the son of destruction-is revealed. 4He will oppose and exalt himself above every so-called god or object of worship. So he will seat himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. 5Do you not remember that I told you these things while I was still with you?6And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way. 8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and annihilate by the majesty of His arrival. 9The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, 10and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them.11For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, 12in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.

Indeed, just as the holy Bible says, the stones cry out. Archaeological finds continually support the biblical narrative of people, places, and things.

It is amazing and incredible how much detail your team went into making this 3D model! Herod's temple must have been stunning!

Thanks Daniel, (at least I have a few bragging rights now 😁). In all seriousness though your work is incredible. You and your team should be really proud.

[@viennehaake9149]

I just love seeing models and depictions of the temple- you have to visualize it because it was written about in so much depth in scripture. It was a big deal. And seeing these images help imagine what it was like approaching the temple in those days! A symbol of Gods precense among them- living among them- on earth!. I can never really get my arms around it but this site clearly out of love, aims to help us imagine. I also just love to think about the priests garb- the stones, breast plate, shoulder stones w names of tribes symbols of carrying the weight of the tribes, the tassles, the fabric, bells - something so special. Who could have designed this stuff? back then? Blows my mind. Thanks Guys.

[@BenjaminGriffin]

This is a game changer! So excited to see how this model gets utilized moving forward!

[@zandersturgill]

I feel you guys have done a stellar job with recreating this special place where so much of the scriptures take place! Thank you!

This video is amazing. What is more amazing is all the care that was taken in the rendering, all the research and talent. Is there any chance that there will be more on this model. It seems ashame fir all that work to result in only a series of fly through shorts. How wonderful it would be to be taken on a long form virtual walking tour with a guide explaining and elaborating on the temporal and spiritual elements that were considered in both the modeling and in the original architecture...

This is a good start. However, it needs more editing. Josephus describes the first century Jerusalem Temple gate doors as being 149 feet high and 24.5 feet wide. It had also golden vines above it, from which clusters of grapes hung as tall as a man's height. The Mishna (M. Middot 3.8) also recalls a great golden vine over the doorway of the sanctuary: “A golden vine stood over the entrance to the sanctuary, trained over posts; and whosoever gave a leaf, or a berry, or a cluster as a freewill-offering, he brought it and hung it on there. R. Eliezer bar R. Zadok said: It once happened that three hundred priests were appointed [to move it].”
