Omen: Earthquakes

Discovered 1568 by Álvaro de Mendaña de Neira and named Islas de Solomon in the hope that they were the legendary islands of King Solomon (king of Israel 961-922 B.C.). Christian missionaries to this region regarded the Polynesians as descendants of the lost tribes of Israel.

What if the Dome of the Rock is destroyed by an earthquake? Would this provide those who want to rebuild the Temple of Solomon, such as the Temple Mount Faithful, an opportunity to do so? Structures in the Dome of the Rock region have been ruined or destroyed in the past. Recently, there have been earthquakes that indicate it is possible again. On 2/11/04, the eastern wall of the Temple Mount was damaged by an earthquake. The damage threatens to topple sections of the wall into the area known as Solomon's Stables. On 2/16/04, a few days after the earthquake, a portion of a stone retaining wall supporting the ramp that leads from the Western Wall plaza to the Gate of the Moors and on the Temple Mount collapsed.

DR: What has led you to devote so much of your time, skill and attention to issues of death and dying?

The walls in the camp were filled with pictures of butterflies, drawn by these children. It was incomprehensible to me. Thousands of children going into the gas chamber, and this is the message they leave behind--a butterfly. That was really the beginning.
