Luther's Tragic Mistake: Part Twenty-Five
The temple is seen as a testament to the Messiah. Since the temple was leveled, with the rest of Jerusalem, in 70 AD it has not been rebuild. A Muslim mosque sits on the site today, with no sign that it will be given up any time soon. The splendor of that same temple is also a testament. Of course, Luther also slides into ad hominem attacks and uses stereotypes.
