This paper explores what happens when 2000 Royal Cubits are measured in the city of
Jerusalem.
The actual summit of the mount is where a tall tower was built a short distance north west
of point C. Point C appears to currently be in a garden area. The area around this tower is very
high, which includes Point (A). Several more traditional sites for the Ascension (two of which
are Russian Orthodoxa Russian church of the ascension and a rock venerated as the site
where the Virgin Mary watched the ascension) are near the Russian tower.
If a person were to stand at (point e) or (point A), it might have been possible to see into the
inner door of the temple since the view would have been downhill. I believe Point e would be
the most probable location of the Temples Red Heifer altar, with other temple unclean ground
nearby. Point A is too close to the Holy of Holies, but on the main axis line extending out to
Point e.
(See fig. 2. For the following) Points (A) and (B) mark the two locations Queen Helena deemed
sacred having churches built to commemorate the Ascension with Point (B) the Elonia and
today called the Church of the Pater Noster, being the first site followed by (A) higher up the
hill. Both sites preserving a very ancient memory of these places considered sacred ground (but
the Russian Orthodox sites also are of ancient memory with a 6th century church built on the
Russian sites.)
Figure 2 shows the same three red lines measuring out the linear distances of 2000 Royal
Cubits from three locations: the temples Holy of Holies (point H), the Chamber of Hewn Stones
were the great Sanhedrin sat (point S), and the Eastern Gate (Point G) all passing through the
location of the Church of the Ascension (Point A) seen in Fig. 1 but with the addition of three
new lines originating in the same three locations of Fig. 1 but instead passing through the
location of the Elonia (Point B).
The distance from the two sites of the ascension, a north- south direction from Point (A) to
Point (B) was 135 R.C.. This was the same distance and the same general direction of the width
of the inner courtyard (The Azarah) in the temple (also the width of the Court of the Women
from north to south).
The distance from Point (A) to Point (e) running from west to east was 187 R.C. Again we
have the direction from west to east of the inner courtyard being 187 R.C. . The courtyard is
gone, but these two archeological sites on the Mount of Olives still hold the same general
direction and same distances as the missing Azarah on the temple mount to the west. I state
these are more proofs for my temple location.
The distance of 2000 R.C. measured from the Holy of Holies of the temple, running through
the site of the Elonia (Point B) terminates on the Mount of Olives at Point (f). The distance of
2000 R.C. measured from the Chamber Hewn Stones where the Sanhedrin sat Point (s) of the
temple, running through the site of the Elonia (Point B) terminates on the Mount of Olives at
Point (d). The distance of 2000 R.C. measured from the Eastern Gate of the temple, running
through the site of the Elonia (Point B) terminates on the Mount of Olives at Point (k).
