Temple Zero: The Oldest Worship Site In Jerusalem? | Experience Israel

The video takes viewers to the City of David, where archaeologists have uncovered an ancient worship site known as Temple Zero or the Melchizedek Temple. This discovery may be linked to biblical figures such as Melchizedek, Abraham, and even King Solomon’s anointing, making it possibly the oldest known place of worship in Jerusalem.

Dr. Eli Shukron, a leading biblical archaeologist, has spent over 30 years uncovering key biblical sites, including the Pool of Siloam. Since 2010, he has excavated Temple Zero, revealing features like an olive press (for anointing oil), a wine press (for sacred blessings), and areas designated for animal sacrifices and worship.

One of the most significant finds is a stone pillar that may be tied to Jacob’s vision at Bethel (Genesis 28), where he declared, “This is the house of God.” The site's proximity to the Gihon Spring, where Solomon was anointed, further supports its biblical importance. Carbon-14 dating places its use during the Middle Bronze Age, aligning with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob's era.

Temple Zero also connects to biblical prophecy, symbolizing Jerusalem’s spiritual authority from Melchizedek to Jesus. Jesus likely visited this temple during Jewish feasts. End-time prophecies hint at a future temple, reinforcing its significance.

Additional discoveries include rooms for sacrificial rituals, a sacred storage area, and grinding pits for bread-making, confirming the ancient bread and wine blessing tradition.

These findings validate biblical history, align with prophecy, and serve as a call for believers to recognize God's unfolding plan.
