The mystery of the skeletons and the fall of Jerusalem

[LivnForChrist]

An archaeological scandal stirs Jerusalem this week: Who were the thousands of people whose
skeletons were filmed by journalist Benny Liss at the foot of the eastern wall on Temple Mount?
Were they victims of a Second Temple-era massacre or simply corpses buried in a Byzantine
gravesite?

The Eastern Gate always intrigues me. Ezekiel tells us the Spirit of the Lord will again enter through this gate in the future, Ez. 43:4.

According to what I've read, Muslims who conquered Jerusalem (I forget when) were aware of that prophecy so they placed a graveyard there so the Spirit would supposedly have to defile himself by passing through dead bodies in order to enter through that gate. I guess in their minds that makes it impossible for the prophecy to be fulfilled.

As if that could stop the lord.
