1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,440
In any time there's a conflict, any time there's tension, all the believers should be seeking

2
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:19,320
clarity to understand what the issues are and to seek peace. We're told over and over again,

3
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:26,340
both in the Torah and the Muslims are told in the Quran, that the key to be a believer is to

4
00:00:26,340 --> 00:00:33,840
imitate the character of the Prophet, to imitate, to do kindness and compassion the way the

5
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,700
prophets did. And any time there's a conflict, I mean, if one would imagine, right now there's

6
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:47,240
tension concerning the matter of Jerusalem, if people would imagine the prophets getting

7
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:52,140
together and fighting over an issue, it's laughable, it's unbelievable that such a thing

8
00:00:52,140 --> 00:00:58,640
would happen. So we have to imitate the compassion and the kindness of the prophets who were assigned

9
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:04,140
to us. The reason why Jerusalem is so important to the Jewish people is because of what the

10
00:01:04,140 --> 00:01:16,140
prophets did there. The prophet Solomon built the temple there. The other prophets did great

11
00:01:16,140 --> 00:01:22,640
works there and teaching. And all the times that it was built at the time of the prophet David.

12
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:30,140
Jerusalem was a place where all people, not just the children of Israel, but non-Jews, people from Persia,

13
00:01:30,140 --> 00:01:36,140
from Syria, from Arabia, they were all invited to come to Jerusalem. This is the dream of the Jewish

14
00:01:36,140 --> 00:01:42,140
people, to bring it back to the glory of the time when it was when the prophets, that it should be a city of peace.

15
00:01:42,140 --> 00:01:53,140
And the word Jerusalem means the city of peace. And in Hebrew, the shalom has the idea of bringing opposites

16
00:01:53,140 --> 00:01:58,140
together to make peace. You bring things which are opposite and you bring them together into a whole.

17
00:01:58,140 --> 00:02:04,140
And that's what the city of Jerusalem is. It's the Jewish people's dream that it should be a place of unity

18
00:02:04,140 --> 00:02:08,140
where not just the children of Israel, but all people should come and pray.

19
00:02:08,140 --> 00:02:17,140
And sometimes it's painful for us to see the Temple Mount become a place of conflict or fighting or whatever.

20
00:02:17,140 --> 00:02:21,140
It should be a place of prayer. It should be a place where all people of all nations can come.

21
00:02:21,140 --> 00:02:26,140
And like the prophet says, it should be a house of prayer for all nations.

22
00:02:26,140 --> 00:02:37,140
Even Ezekiel, who gives a vision of the third temple, the final temple which has yet to be built, envisions one where all nations will come.

23
00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:47,140
And if you look at the verses in Ezekiel, you see that everything that's built on the Temple Mount today could fit into what's there.

24
00:02:47,140 --> 00:02:53,140
There are no changes, maybe a few things can be added, but nothing has to be taken away from what exists from the Temple now

25
00:02:53,140 --> 00:02:57,140
to completely fulfill what Ezekiel is talking about.

26
00:02:57,140 --> 00:03:04,140
İnşaAllah kararlıyız. Bu yüzyılda bunu bitireceğiz, bu konu hallolacak.

27
00:03:04,140 --> 00:03:06,140
Ve bu güzelliği göreceğiz.
