RE: "Sanhedrin Convenes to Ask "Where Was The Temple Exactly?""
 

The 1st and 2nd Temples never existed on the modern-day "Temple Mount." The "Temple Mount" happens to be the ruins of the Roman military Garrison known as, Fort Antonia. The Second Temple was adjacent/South of the Fort. You may see a picture representation of it at: www.askelm.com.

Only one proof need be given: the words of Jesus!

Mar 13:2 And2532 Jesus2424 answering611 said2036 unto him,846 Seest991 thou these5025 great3173 buildings?3619 there shall not3364 be left863 one stone upon another,3037, 1909, 3037 that3739 shall not3364 be thrown down.2647

Now what do you see when you look at the Temple Mount and Wailing Wall? You see one stone upon another! No matter how you attempt to twist your reasoning, you'll make Jesus a lier and false prophet. (I think not!).

The temples were built on the land that David originally bought. On David's land was the spring of Gihon. (Now called the Spring of Siloam." ). This Spring is south of the Temple complex. The water from this spring ran through the Temple complex to wash away the blood from the sacrifices and for the ritual cleansing. The old temples had water running through them just like, but to a much lesser extent than the final Temple in the Book of Revelation. The modern-day Sanhedrin have even met at this spring for ritual cleansing's. There is no such water source even near the modern-day, so-called "Temple Mount."
 

Now other writers and the Jewish historian, Josephas witnessed that the entire structure was dismantled and not a single stone was left upon another. Now, this was not done because of hatred toward the Jews. It was done for greed. You see, the Roman's set fire to the Temple. The Temple contained tons of gold which melted and dripped between the stones. The soldiers removed each stone to retrieve the gold. Now you act this way toward your enemies Temple, but you wouldn't do it to your own home (Fort). The Roman's continued to use the Garrison and later a pagan temple (I think to Saturn) and finally the pagan mosque.

 
If what the Sanhedrin was planning to do was lead of God, wouldn't you think that they would be following The Truth?!!!
