The Role Of Engineering In The Torah

Jerusalem is very important for Christianity. In ad 66, there was a big contradiction between Roman and Jews. Rome had frequently raided the temple treasury to make up for what is called unpaid taxes. They try to destroy the temple. The temple is located in the center of Universe. It means Loving and merciful to God. One Roman historian described Titus' intentions to tear down the temple as an effort to destroy Jews and Christians with the reasoning, "if the root were taken away the stock would easily perish." The temple was destroyed. Titus was incorrect in his reasoning; Judaism was not abolished, as it is still present today. The absence of the temple caused a bigger problem for the Jew's, because they were loosing their last resistance.

The significance of the Tabernacle is God told Israel to build a tent like structure known as the Tabernacle (Varughese, 2006, p.84). The Tabernacle had three parts: the court, the holy place, and the holy of holies. The court section was meant for the altar where sacrifices were given. The holy place was a section that not everyone could have access to only people of the priesthood. The holy of holies section of the Tabernacle had the ark of covenant inside. Which contained the tablets that the commandments were written on.

Once Israel arrives, they confront the Transjordan tribes. They accuse them of turning away from God because of the altar they built, and Israel tells them to cross over the Jordan and live among them to prevent it in the future (v. 16-20). The Transjordan tribes respond to their accusation and provide the real reason they built the altar. They built it as a witness so that in future years they will still be seen as part of Israel rather than a separate nation (v. 21-29). Israel was appeased with this answer and permitted the altar to remain as a witness (v.

Jerusalem, a holy city to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, is home to three of the largest religious faiths in the world today. Out of the three, Judaism was the first to call Jerusalem its holy city followed by Christianity and Islam many years later. Starting with Abraham and Issac in Genesis 22, Jerusalem was said to be a chosen holy space for the Israelite people. Years later, King Solomon built the first temple in Jerusalem to represent the presence of Yahweh, his God.

The majority of ancient Egyptian structures studied by architectural historians and planners alike, were erected to honor a pharaoh or as a grand tomb for their journey through to the afterlife. Whether the structure was in the form of a temple, tomb or statue, the ritual and spiritual influence is unquestionable.

Originally built by Solomon, the Temple’s basic layout was similar to the Tabernacle first constructed during the Exodus period under the leadership of Moses. It was there that the Glory of the LORD resided signifying the special relationship between the one true God and Israel, His chosen people. The presence of the glory of the LORD was also manifest in the Temple built by Solomon. Herod sought to make his temple grander than the one constructed under the rule of Solomon.

In Ethiopia ,The Zagwe king Lalibela wanted to create a new Jerusalem. South of Aksum he founded a site named after himself. The cultures religion of Christianity was embraced by the rock-hewn sanctuaries that were created by Laibela. The structure of these churches where different compared to the churches we see now. Instead of building the churches from the ground upwards they were hewn from living rock. First they had a wide trench that would be cut around all four sides of the block which would then be the church. The interior and exterior parts of the sanctuaries were carved with hammers and chisels.

Let's begin by defining what is a tabernacle? Wikipedia, states that “The Tabernacle (Hebrew: מִשְׁכַּן‎‎, mishkan, "residence" or "dwelling place"), according to the Hebrew Bible, was the portable earthly dwelling place for the Shekhinah from the time of the Exodus from Egypt through the conquering of the land of Canaan.” In the Tabernacle, we find God dwelling among His chosen people. "Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture, just so you shall construct it" (Exodus 25:8-9). The Tabernacle symbolized the dwelling place of God in the midst of His people. "There I will meet with you; and from above

In life, we all have life-changing events that happen to everyone and usually makes us think about the decision that we made. For me my life changing event was when I had my first real heartbreak about a few months ago. The reason it was so heartbreaking was because my ex cheated on me not once not twice, but over seven different times with several women.
