No one is ever going to agree 100 with anyone, except with Jesus, and to the extent our flesh allows us submission deeply enough to agree with Him.<br /><br />You are quite right that the crucifixion took place t the place of the skull, Golgotha...when I write it I was thinking of the sacrifice of the trial, the place where the spiritual death and the sentence was pronounced by sinful men on the Sinless One. Not so much the bodily death but the spiritual sacrifice which happened on the Temple Mount (The High Priests lived there and Pilate when visiting Jerusalem lodged at the NW part of the Mount). I should have made the distinction clearer. I believe the spirit of the thought came through though, the Lord knew where He wanted these things to take place and the highest spiritual activity takes place on and near the Temple Mount.<br /><br />I read the threshing-floor issue from 1 Chronicles 21:18<br /><br />"Then the angel of the LORD ordered Gad to tell David to go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite." <br /><br />and<br />2 Chronicles 3:1- "Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to David his father, at the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite."<br /><br />Bible Dictionary- Moriah<br />The hill on which the temple of Jerusalem was built, 2 Chronicles 3:1. See JERUSALEM. It seems to have been the same place where Abraham was about to offer up Isaac, Genesis 22:1-2; and where David interceded for his people at the threshing-floor of Araunah, 2 Samuel 24:16-25.Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-59347979094814027072012-10-09T01:25:50.843-04:002012-10-09T01:25:50.843-04:00My first post and I want to start with a positive ...My first post and I want to start with a positive note. Your blog is my home page. I feel you are blessed, and while I may only agree with 97% of what you say, or type anyway, comes from a true, Spirit filled heart. Thank you so much Elizabeth!<br /><br />One thing to point out in this particular post is that Jesus was not crucified on the temple mount, but rather on Golgotha which is north of Mt. Moria.<br />I believe you are correct, however, that the site of Isaac's representative sacrifice occurred at the same location. That was traditionally on the temple mount, but a careful reading of scripture would lead to a higher mount - Golgotha. The area that David bought was originally the threshing floor of Boaz - ideally located in the saddleback between the Kidron Valley and the Hagai Valley. Here there would be a steady breeze to blow away the chaff, hence the perfect spot for the threshing floor. Chuck Missler and others have suggested this, it isn't my discovery.<br />Final point - you are absolutely spot on that digging deeper into the Word is fun and rewarding.

I added a sentence at the end, about using the method of going deeper also includes looking at the words in the original language, the historical context, and prayer.
