The spiritual heart of many esoteric societies, the Temple of
Solomon was located atop the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, a site
venerated by the three great monotheistic religions as the
intersection of Divine and human. Built by King Solomon at the peak
of ancient Israel's power, the Temple of Solomon housed the golden
Ark of the Covenant in its Holy of Holies, a sacred chamber where
one could communicate directly with God. Centuries after the
temple's destruction, the Temple Mount was used as the headquarters
for the Knights Templar during the Crusades, and countless legends
have come down through the centuries about the secrets they may
have uncovered there, including discovery of the Holy Grail or the
Ark of the Covenant.Richly illustrated with biblical and Masonic
illustrations, photographs, and ancient and modern paintings--many
from rare archives--this book explores the Temple of Solomon in the
Hebrew Scriptures, the New Testament, and Apocryphal writings as
well as its role in the founding of Freemasonry, the legends of the
Knights Templar, the doctrines of the Kabbalah, and Muhammad's
visionary journey from the Temple Mount through the heavens.
Seeking to understand the powerful desire of many religions and
secret societies to re-create the temple through ritual and prayer,
James Wasserman explains why it was built, the magical forces King
Solomon may have used in its creation, what its destruction meant
for Jews and Christians alike, and why the Knights Templar as well
as several modern secret societies named their orders after it.
Detailing the sacred architecture of this perfectly proportioned
mystical edifice through words and art, the author reveals the
Temple of Solomon as the affirmation of God's presence in human
affairs, the spiritual root of Western culture, and an important
monument to the Divine nearly forgotten in today's secular times
but sorely needed to bridge the divide between our ancient past and
our spiritual future. Examines the Temple of Solomon in the Hebrew
Scriptures, the New Testament, and Apocryphal writings Explores its
role in the founding of Freemasonry, the legends of the Knights
Templar, the doctrines of the Kabbalah, and the teachings of Islam
Explains the sacred nature of the Temple Mount--the site of the
Temple of Solomon--and the secrets that may still be hidden there
Richly illustrated, including many photos and images from rare
archives
