Cornerstone Hid: The fourth book (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798823027281)

This book is the fourth in a series of five books. It is when Rome was holding Israel as a vassal kingdom. In our last book, Cornerstone Found, we were in a time when Kong Cyrus of the Medes released Israel after seventy years of exile to return and rebuild their Temple. It was rebuilt with one change in its dimensions. It was the same in width and length, but now it was ninety feet tall. They built it out of the old stones that had been the Temple before. Another conqueror came and was shown the prophecy of Daniel, Alexander the Great. He was not given by name, as was Cyrus. The prophecy said he would come but not destroy; he did and not destroy. Afterward, he did say they would pay tribute and furnish men for war as needed. The Temple continued to stand with the cornerstone. After four hundred years since the rebuilding, the Romans came. The Greek dominance had been broken into four fractions after Alexander's death. These four divisions were ruled by four of Alexander's generals, not in his ways. There were rebellions and wars against these generals. Rome came and took Jerusalem for the first time by intimidation. Rome set up its control of government with its assigned kings. Their king in Jerusalem was of mixed blood. His mother was of the blood of Esua and Canaanite, and his father was of Jewish blood. This new king of Israel was Herod the Great. He was an egotist and a lover of building to gain permanent recognition. He could not tolerate the vision of this building, thirty feet wide by ninety feet long by ninety feet high and built with reused stones. This building would corrupt his vision of grandeur for the city. He made a deal with the priests that he would not disrupt the rituals. He wanted to cover the old stones with new ones. In the cladding process of the Temple, he tore the stones off the porch to keep the same dimensions. In the process, the cornerstone got lost, or it could be assumed that it was hidden. In this book, we will take you from Zerubbable's rebuilding to Herod's days. We will get into the lives of some of the Israelites and how they lived before and after Alexander to the coming of the Romans with their allies, one of whom was Herod's father. We have tried to get into the mind of Herod using the information provided by the Bible. When you finish this book, you will be up to date on the events surrounding the Temple and the cornerstone. There has been no change to the Cornerstone events since Herod's time. It is still hidden.The Romans tore the Temple down sixty six years after his death.
