CITY of DAVID-or 'TEMPLE MOUNT'?

Discover from the scriptures WHY the temples were not on so-called Temple Mount!

Yes, on Mount Moriah--but which part of it?

Of course...the ridge and section known as ZION, otherwise known as the City of David! (see 2 Samuel 5:6-7 for example).

Find out why, since the Patriarchs, this site had been known and revered as HaMakom... 'THE' Place.

Whilst there is plenty of extra-biblical evidence, in a unique approach, Ian Heard, using Biblical references only shows us where the temples stood--within the ancient City of David or Zion!

With a Foreword by Marilyn Sams

What readers are saying about: THE TEMPLE QUEST: Through enlightening discussions of extensive biblical passages, Ian illustrates how the Jews thoroughly understood what "the place"  (HaMakom) meant to the Jewish psyche or soul, but which most often escapes the modern reader.  Ian clearly proves the location of the temple to be above the Gihon Spring in Jerusalem, and this by using only biblical passages.  His ability to tease out new information from familiar scriptures and provide new insights is remarkable and rewarding.  His work provides the "living water" which he discusses within the work, which uplifts, enlightens, and expands the spirit.

Some don't like the idea of God having 'wrath'. However, we inevitably share the destiny of the things to which we choose to join ourselves.

If we present a gospel that doesn’t start at the right place we probably won’t get what the gospel is intended to produce...See video below.

"ONCE I HAVE PERSUADED MYSELF
THAT I AM ESSENTIALLY GOOD
IT'S AN EASY STEP FROM THERE TO MAKE GOD APPEAR REPREHENSIBLE"


(Rom. 1:25 '...they exchanged the truth of God for a lie')

 Some Endorsements...
THE TEMPLE QUEST:
"...Ian clearly proves the location of the temple to be above the Gihon Spring in Jerusalem, and this by using only biblical passages.  His ability to tease out new information from familiar scriptures and provide new insights is remarkable and rewarding.  His work provides the "living water" which he discusses within the work, which uplifts, enlightens, and expands the spirit."
Marilyn Sams

THE PLACE:
"...Ian Heard's book adds a unique fictional aspect to the growing movement of people accepting the City of David location for the temples in Jerusalem. His perspective on how many biblical events converged at this location brings many insightful possibilities to the table. Especially moving are his heartfelt expressions of faith in and love for the prophets and the Savior of the world."
Marilyn Sams


"I Iove it, I love it!! This book is The Place to find your Place! ..... I share the view that the temple in Jerusalem was more likely to be found in the city of David rather than where the present western wall is situated."
Barry Buirski, Celebrate Messian Ministry, Australia

THE PEOPLE:
"The People is an enthralling and innovative approach not only to telling old familiar stories but using narrative to portray, in a subtle but powerful way, the truth of good and evil in our world . . . There is good and evil, God and Satan, and in every human relationship/interaction and behavior a choice is to be made. The consequences, for those with the spiritual eyes to see, are clear. It is an exceptional and well written piece of work."
Dr Allan Bull, MacQuarie University, Sydney

THE PERSON: "In this absorbing read Ian illustrates the beckoning heart of God encountering the hesitating heart of man at the crossroads of Wisdom and ‘Un-Wisdom’. He artfully states a tell-tale divine musing on P.20 “Many wonder at our election of a single human through whom to begin the unfolding of large purpose, but it is our way”. It’s a banquet at a table of archetypal Wisdom. Eat there slowly, linger and be fed."
Pastor Paul O'Sullivan, Northern Beaches Christian Centre Sydney, past chairman Associated Christian Ministries Australia and Founder of Northern Beaches Christian School.
