October 11 - Evening
"The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers
used to meet together in Solomon’s Colonnade.
No one else dared join them, even though they
were highly regarded by the people. Nevertheless,
more and more men and women believed in the
Lord and were added to their number."
- Acts 5:12-14 |

The Church on the Temple Mount |
|
|
Among the unbelieving Jews the apostles “performed many signs and wonders” in order to
confirm the resurrection of Jesus and his glorification as the Servant/Messiah. Those who
believed that Jesus was the promised Christ where not ridiculed and mocked, but instead
“were highly regarded by the people.” The unbelieving Jews, or “seekers” as they are called
today in the western church, respected the Christians but “dared” not join them. After the
Ananias and Sapphira episode (Acts 5:1-11) that resulted in these two manipulative “seekers” dropping dead in church, it appears there was a concern that possibly the same power that
healed the unbeliever in the street, would kill the uncommitted, half-hearted “seeker” who
merely joined the apostle’s services on the Temple Mount out of curiosity and manipulation.
“All the believers used to meet together in Solomon’s Colonnade. No one else dared join them.” – Acts 5:13
Nevertheless, more and more of the unbelieving Jews made a commitment to Jesus the
resurrected, glorified Messiah. And, the church continued to grow.
It is worth noting that during the weeks and months that followed the resurrection the church in
Jerusalem was meeting on the Temple Mount. They used a portion of a beautiful colonnade 45 feet wide that surrounded the perimeter of the entire Temple court yard. This decorative walkway, called
Solomon’s Colonnade, was covered with a ceiling of beautifully jointed, highly polished
cedar wood. Two rows of white marble pillars 37.5 feet tall and the outer wall of the
Temple Mount supported this wooden covering. |

"There is no quarantee that because a person has great knowledge scripture they will be a great Christian, but there IS a guarantee that they can NOT be a great Christian with poor knowledge of scripture."
