1. The picture which you present it the temple is certainly not the design. It is unbelievable, impractical, and dangerous. This would never have been built. You need a more thoughtful artist who has some familiarity with architecture.

2. Very impressive, but I have to be a little negative here on several things. 1) 1 Chronicles completes the description of Solomon's Temple given in 1 Kings. In 1 Chronicles, we see the porch section of the temple was 120 cubits high or about 180 feet, which is three times the height of the Temple House itself. It was quite possible the tallest structure in the world at that time. Herod the Great understood this, and made his temple porch 120 cubits high and 100 cubits wide, which was twice the height of the Temple House he built behind it. This also was probably the highest building in the world at that time. What made both temple's extra impressive was the surrounding courts and the platform which supported the courts. Solomon made the platform 600 cubits long and 400 cubits wide with the East side wall going down 600 cubits to the base of the Kidron valley. 1000 years later, Josephus, who was an eye witness and who wrote for the Emperor of Rome who was also an eye witness, said that 450 cubits of the wall was showing above the valley with 150 cubits buried beneath the valley floor which had risen 150 feet due to debris since the time of David. The Temple and Temple mount was still super impressive and had its courts expanded to a square of 600 cubits by 600 cubits by King Herod. The two destructions, 70 AD and 132 AD resulted in every stone being removed to their bedrock foundations. The modern Western wall is 300 feet further to the West than the actual Western wall of the Temple mount. The modern Western wall was part of the lower plaza on the West side Temple Mount. This is why the Modern Western wall covers a mikveh. The actual Western wall would never have covered a mikveh. Plus, in order for the Eastern wall to reach all the way down to the base of the Kidron, valley with a 600 by 600 cubit plaza, the actual Western wall had to be 300 feet more to the East from todays Western wall. 2) The style of the decor followed God's revelation of what it was to look like. Therefore, it would not have been in the style of the Egyptians. Seraphim were angels, not beasts. The seraphim would have looked human. 3) The ark is not that big of a box and the two angels spreading their wings over it would have done so from a space on either side of the ark, from its base all the way up and over so that if a man were sitting on the ark, the wings would go over the man's head with some room to spare. The seraphim angels would not have been situated on top of the lid at all. In addition to this, Solomon had two huge seraphim which had wings which were 5 cubits in length each, covering 20 cubits all together. This measurement shows us that the Temple measurements size, were inside measurements, not counting the walls etc. 4) We do not know if the Temple house roof covered the roof of the Holy of Holies. However, it does not make sense for the Holy of Holies to have its floor raised higher than the Temple house floor for three reasons. a) We are not told this. Plus there is no mention of steps before the Holy of Holies, while the other steps in from of the porch are mentioned. b) The priests could accidentally view the Holy of Holies from gaps at the bottom of the curtain, and c) There would not be sufficient space for the steps to led up to the Holy of Holies. 5) The Holy of Holies probably lines up with the Tomb of Zecharia's which is probably not a tomb but a marker for this purpose. The Dome of the Rock is a mistake for the location of the Temple. Remember, not a single stone was left upon the other and this includes the entire Temple Mount which is also called the Tempe for short. Jesus was not a recognized official priest, so never stepped inside the actual Temple House or the Holy of Holies. He taught from places within the courts and other temple buildings. The Romans remodeled the Temple mount for their own purposes while hiding the original location of the Temple House and the Temple mount. Suliman the Great killed all his wall builders, probably because while the were rebuilding from the "ground" up, they came across the actual foundations of the Temple Mount. He had them killed to keep them from revealing this information. This is why they were given an honorable place of burial next to the current Temple Mount in a cemetery which can still be viewed today. This was the only logical reason to do this treacherous thing to his "beloved" builders while keeping the people from causing an uproar, as they received a prominent burial place. Maybe their secret is buried with them, if they somehow managed to sneak the info in with their deaths.??? 6) The two pillars were placed inside the porch … not outside of it. I have a lego model of Solomon's Temple and am building the Ezekiel Temple, which dimensions are like a mystery puzzle. Two things about this temple stand out. 1) It has the dimensions of being atom bomb proof. (This is why the walls are 12 feet and 10 feet thick with possibly roofs twice that thick and a 12 foot thick foundation.) 2) The side chambers are 40 feet long and 8 feet wide for each of their interior spaces, at its base. No depiction shows this. This fits neatly into the 200 foot by 200ft Temple structure base using a normal cubit of 18 inches plus 6 inches for the hand span making an Ezekiel cubit 2 feet approximately. This makes the best sense. The temple porch would be 240 feet high if the same proportions were kept the same.
