Temple Location

[Codger]

Like most things in the Bible there are a lot of different viewpoints. Do you think that the location of Herod's temple has any importance to the study of the New Testament?

Can't say that I have ever seen a thread on this subject - so maybe it's exact location it is of little value to anyone.

Just curious.

Well the renovated second temple stood, like its predecessors, on Mount Moriah. But since the prophecies of Christ's return to the temple were fulfilled when he visited Jerusalem in AD 70 and destroyed it, it may be interesting archaeological research, but I don't see it having any exegetical or eschatological relevance.

Returned to destroy it in 70ad....

I like the way you think.
