QUESTION: Many people who are Jewish and Christian would love to destroy the Dome of the Rock. We hear Christian zealots pushing this event to bring about the Second Coming and Armageddon. Does Socrates show anything on this subject?
Do you plan an update on your Middle East War Report? It’s been almost ten years, and 2024 is here.

ANSWER: I have visited the Dome of the Rock and paid my respects. Jerusalem is the crossroads of three major religions – Jewish, Islam, and Christian. Disputes over specific locations abound throughout the city. There has been a long-running and undeclared war between two of Israel and Iran – the Middle East’s most implacable foes. I am deeply concerned that 2024 was the target year for this confrontation to burst to the surface. The October 7th Hamas/Iran attack on Israel was the beginning.
To the Jews and Christians, this is known as the Temple Mount, while the Muslims call it the Dome of the Rock. It contains a huge rock that the Jewish tradition says is that this is where Abraham was told to sacrifice his son. To the Muslims, the rock is the spot from which the Prophet Muhammad was taken up into heaven for an encounter with God (an event known as the Miʿrāj). Thus, it is the same rock, symbolizing the clash between these religions.
There are some Christian Zealots who want to destroy the Dome of the Rock to force the Second Coming and Armageddon. Yet there are also far-right Jewish Zealots advocating the destruction of the Dome of the Rock to pave the way for building a Jewish temple. The initial construction of the Dome of the Rock was undertaken by the Umayyad Caliphate on the orders of Abd al-Malik back during the Second Fitna (691–692AD). It was constructed on top of the very site of the Second Jewish Temple, which had been constructed in c. 516AD to replace the destroyed Temple of Solomon was reconstructed by Herod the Great, the Jewish King of Judea from 37/6BC to 4/1BC. It was that Temple that the Romans destroyed in 70AD.
It was only after the Six-Day War was over by June 10th, 1967 (1967.441) that Israel’s capital city, Jerusalem, was reunited. For the first time in 19 years, the Old City was open to believers of all faiths, and Jews could access their holiest sites. I was fortunate to have visited everywhere in the late 1970s. Cyclically, that was precisely on time under the model.
It was 51.6 years right on target from the Six-DayWar that the negotiations began, and within two months, on March 25, 2019, then President Donald Trump signed the Proclamation on Recognizing the Golan Heights as Part of the State of Israel. It was then, from May 3rd to 6th, that the Gaza–Israel clashes began (May 2019) also on time.
Israel allowed Jews to pray on the Temple Mount. The Jews have been praying at the base of the Temple Mount, where the old Temple Wall still remains. Jordan, the custodian of the Dome of the Rock, demanded that the government cease Jewish prayer on the mount. The Israeli government avoided formally addressing these silent prayers. They occur on the eastern side of the Dome of the Rock/Temple Mount, albeit without traditional Jewish prayer items such as tallit, tefillin, or siddur.
Our computer has been projecting a rising confrontation and has targeted 2024 as the key turning point. I also reported on that in the February 13th, 2023 post in the last update. Yes, I will update this.

Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson reemerges from the shadows whenever he hears word that a war may be winding down. Johnson made an emergency trip to Ukraine when Zelensky was considering a peace deal with Russia, urging him to continue the endless war. According to Johnson, Russia was a threat to world peace, and Ukraine had the responsibility to fight a war of good vs. evil. Now, Johnson has reemerged from hiding to issue the same warning about issuing a ceasefire in Palestine.
The UK has already issued £87 million to fund the war on Palestine. The UK has provided Israel with £725 million, a low estimate, in arms since 2008. There are now calls from every corner for a ceasefire, as you cannot simply wipe out an entire nation to catch a group of terrorists. Palestine has no official army, human rights groups are outraged that countless Palestinians are being murdered on a daily basis, and everyone, including the United Nations, has asked Israel to back down.
“If you want an example of the death wish of Western civilization [sic], I give you the current proposal from members of the British establishment that this country should ban arms sales to Israel. If you want evidence of government madness, it appears that Foreign Office lawyers are busily canvassing the idea — which has not, as far as I can tell, yet been rejected by the Foreign Secretary himself. He seems to have gone into a kind of purdah on the subject,” wrote Johnson.
Israel is fully equipped with an elite military and arsenal that unofficially includes nuclear power. Since the terrorist attack on October 7, 2023, nearly 34,000 Palestinians have been killed by the IDF, including 13,000 children, and nearly 76,000 have been critically injured. Over 8,000 people are missing in Gaza. Estimates state that 1,139 Israeli troops have been killed, with nearly 9,000 injured. This is not a fair war by any means.
Gaza is in ruins. Around 80% of schools and commercial buildings have been wiped out in Gaza, according to the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the World Health Organization, and the Palestinian government. Around 83% of groundwater wells have been terminated. Humanitarian aid cannot reach Gaza, and aid workers from around the world are rapidly dying in the crossfire.
“More alarming still, we are told that an Israeli arms ban is the subject of an active row in Cabinet, with only a handful of ministers positively sticking up for Israel. The contagion has spread pretty wide, and very fast. The proposed embargo is now supported by MPs on all sides, by the former head of MI6, by some former Supreme Court Justices, and by about 600 members of the legal profession, all of them clamouring for us to turn our backs on the only democracy in the Middle East,” Johnson continued. “Let us be clear what it would mean, to ban arms sales now, when Israel is under a greater existential threat than at any time I can remember. If we ban the sale of arms ourselves, it surely follows that we do not think any self-respecting country should be arming the Israelis.”
Hamas does not pose a threat to the world’s stability. The inflation that will come from supporting endless wars, however, will pose a threat as it is further sinking nations into debt and contributing to the sovereign debt crisis. Neocon Boris Johnson does not care about the well-being of society, as his only goal is to support endless wars at the expense of the people on both sides.
