'One of the earliest photographs of Jews praying at the Western Wall of Herod's Temple, 1870s. The Scroll of Ahimaaz (1050 CE) mentions the location as a Jewish prayer site. In around 1560, Suleiman the Magnificent gave official recognition of the right of Jews to pray there.'

Jerusalem - Western Wall's Letters for God
* * * *
Religions are, by definition, metaphors, after all: God is a dream, a hope, a woman, an ironist, a father, a city, a house of many rooms, a watchmaker who left his prize chronometer in the desert, someone who loves you—even, perhaps, against all evidence, a celestial being whose only interest is to make sure your football team, army, business, or marriage thrives, prospers, and triumphs over all opposition. Religions are places to stand and look and act, vantage points from which to view the world. So none of this is happening. Such things could not occur. Never a word of it is literally true.
—Neil Gaiman, "American Gods"

Truth, Lies, and everything in between.
There is a song about Jerusalem, ‘There are stones with the hearts of men and men with hearts of stone,’ and, so it goes.
Since the 7th of October I have been trying to understand. After the shock After the horror After the disbelief, then realisation of the events, My aspiration has been to communicate. To rise above the misinformation. It has been impossible. Reality isn’t what it used to be, They say, Truth, lies and videotape. Look left and good is bad, Right and bad is good, Not…

Jerusalem: Orthodox Jews attend a night-long prayer event to mark Tisha B’av at the Western Wall. During Tisha B’av, ultra-Orthodox Jews stay up all night reciting lamentations focusing on the destruction of the first and second temples, the second of which was located on the other side of the ancient wall, on the Temple Mount. 2017.

In this special one-off video I try out Gate Zero, a Christian bible game and my first ever time trying out a Christian game! I travel back in time to Jerusalem in the year 33AD. I have a look around the Temple Mount, dodge some Roman soldiers and become ordained into the priesthood so I can get access to the Jewish temple!
This demo taxed my computer while recording and running it, sorry for the low FPS, I will be interested to play the full version once it comes out and once I've got a new PC.
Gate Zero is developed by Bible X Games and published by BCC Media.
Please visit 'Israel My Channel' on YouTube for videos on Jerusalem and the Temple Mount!: https://www.youtube.com/@IsraelMyChannel
