During an open day in our schedule in Jerusalem a group of us limited to 35 walked the so-called tunnel at the original foundation of the western wall of the temple mount (photos below). One of the foundation stones stretches across some 10 meters and weighs 57 tons. How that stone was so precisely hewed and placed is still considered an unsolved mystery. The greater importance is what is above just east on the Temple Mount considered to be of the Holy of Holies in which God placed its original creation into manifestation and marked as where Abraham was to sacrifice his son Isaac, the dwelling place of the Arc of the Covenant, and location of the Ascension of Muhammad with archangels Gabriel and Michael in attendance.
We continued our walk circumnavigating the Temple Mount making a brief visit to St Anne’s Church named for the mother of the Virgin Mary who was born nearby. St. Anne’s is famous for many PAT IV renditions of the MSIA Alleluia song. As we continued our walk around Temple Mount we stopped along the eastern wall at a place just below the still sealed Golden Gate for a Moment of Peace and Blessing before continuing our walk along the walls.
The last time I recall one of our groups spending so much time along a wall was in 1988 at the Berlin Wall when J-R famously told the group about putting a worm of light into the wall and declaring the wall would come down within two years. And it did! Our group also drove through nearby Jericho where another famous wall came down when Joshua led the Israelites across the River Jordan into the land of Canaan to walk seven times around that oldest known city wall while shouting until it came down.
Let us join in prayer for the peace of Jerusalem so that all may find harmony and goodwill living together as neighbors and friends as an example to all of the world.
Blessing of Peace of the Spiritual Warrior
Dear God, we ask for a blessing of forgetting, so what has happened becomes more and more invisible.
We place this blessing through the Christ and the Holy Spirit.
The Traveler walks here this day, visiting those who have forgotten their way to God. No longer are they to remain, as the Light has opened a way.
We gently usher those who have forgotten the way and have been caught in things from long ago.
