Temple and Temple Mount Location
1. Today there's a growing number of people that are claiming the temple and temple mount were located in the City of David. This is simply not true. Therefore, we will attempt to show from Scripture, historical, archaeological, and practical reasons why their claims are not true.
2. The Temple Mount is located on the eastern side of Old City Jerusalem.
3. It occupies 1/6 of the current city.
4. It is 35 acres (14 hectares) in size, the equivalent of 35 football fields.

Historical Background
1. The Temple Mount has played a “center stage” role for much of Israel’s history and has functioned as the center of God’s dwelling place and ministry on this earth.
2. It will play a key part during the Millennial Reign of Christ on the earth as well.
3. God has chosen to focus His presence and attention there like a laser beam from heaven like no other place.
4. First temple: the temple Solomon built.
5. Second temple: the temple Ezra oversaw after the deportation and return of the Jews.
6. King Herod’s temple: it would seem like this would be called the third temple, but because the second temple of Ezra wasn’t destroyed by enemies, but that Herod built over it a new temple, and then removed the old one inside, it is still referred to as the second temple.
