‘SPRINGING UP into eternal life’

The Temple and the Spring...
 
In the quote above, Jesus was talking to the Samaritan woman about the kind of water He could give her to drink...‘living water’ that would not only totally quench her deepest thirst, but ‘spring up’ from within her also!
 
When Jesus demonstrated to her that this amazing living water was springing up from within Him as He disclosed secrets about her life, she started in with a discussion (or argument) that raged between Jews and Samaritans at that time about where they should worship.
 
She said, “you Jews say that IN Jerusalem is The Place where we should worship” (note: not “Jerusalem is the place”) indicating that she was aware of the nickname for the site which had become known since patriarchal times as, The Place. In the Old Testament Hebrew of the patriarchal narratives, this was HaMakom—The Place. It was where Abraham surrendered Isaac and where Jacob had had his dream ‘and called the place (HaMakom), Bethel’ (Beit-El—House of God).
 
Because the temple was in the City of David somewhere above Gihon Spring (and not on what falsely became called Temple Mount), it had ‘living water’ springing up within it, just as He promised believers (as His new temple or dwelling place in the earth) would have.

What people who've read THE PLACE are saying...

Marilyn Sams - author of The Jerusalem Temple Mount Myth: Ian Heard’s book adds a unique ....aspect to the growing movement of people accepting the City of David location for the temples in Jerusalem. His perspective .....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'.
Pastor, Luke Yeghnazar of the Iranian Church of Los Angeles: Wonderful book. I trust it will be distributed widely. I read it with excitement. The reader will want to know what happens next. An exciting book to be read by Christians, Jews and others.

What readers of THE PEOPLE are saying...
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.” Allan Bull, Macquarie University, Sydney.
