Temple Come Temple Go

Temple come, Temple go, built in stones, row by row, like Michelangelo, sculpting inspirations long ago. As years come and centuries go: temples built high from stones below. Solomon had built a temple long ago. Alas! His temple’s history’s filled with woe, Nebuchadnezzar destroyed it to put on a show! until Cyrus let the Hebrews go, go, go! to rebuild their temple, high up from low. Herod’s show built on sacred mount, a Roman show. Messiah’s words, misunderstood, implied destruction, a woeful show, although he had been referring to his crucifixion woe which would update their ancient sacrificial show. Temple come, Temple go, while years come and Ages go: Along comes Titus with his dreadful Roman show: “Tear it down!”; do not collect 200; do not pass go! ’Titus struck the fatal blow that Jesus had foretold, in one swift blow! Jews in woe, renewed their ancient Exodic Go! Second exodus, y’know, and then a third , more diaspora woe! Centuries rolled by as Time did flow; along came Imam Mo. . . . . .hammed, in night flight journey he did go! On Buraq burro he did go, arriving at the wall of ancient Hebrew woe. He climbed up ladder to view celestial show. remembering Jacob’s ladder of long ago, which may be the same, but I don’t know. I did dream a dream of Jacob’s ladder , many moons ago. So who am I to say ‘bout Mohammed’s show? with Angel Gabriel, long time ago,with angels climbing to and fro to see an Adam, Joseph, Enoch, Aaron, Moses show Patriarchs of long ago! all lit up in such incredible angelic glow. When Islam’s Prophet reached the top of his ascending show he encountered Moses, patriarch of long ago. Law receiver, ancient believer, recipient of the YWHW glow. Moses advised him to negotiate, don’t ya know about how many prayers one must say when negotiating with God from day to day. Now I don’t know but I been told that wise men talk to God when they get old. Solomon built that first temple long ago. Zerubbabel’s version brought the second show. Now I don’t know; I heard it through the grapevine: Israeli Jews prepare to whisk the sands of time and build another temple on the Mount, which would be their third, by my count. Now the Jews are amping up their plans to erect their third temple there, built for God’s elect. And really, getting right down it, you see. . . there’s only one place it could be!

But one little problem we can discern As Muslims fret and Hebrews yearn! If Jews starting digging down in sacred Al Sharif ground then the world may hear that dreaded sound as Arab ire sends shots heard round the world and temple stones get flung in apocalyptic whirl. Now I don’t know but I been told This contention’s very old. We just don’t know what could go down if Jews do digging Sharif sacred ground. I mean the Jews made it holy in the ancient days; maybe they’re due some acreage in these Israeli days. Just sayin. Keep prayin’. Now I believe I know, ‘cause i been told: the New Temple awaits us in streets of gold! Glass half Full
