| A NOTE FROM DAVID |
|
 We all have differing ideas about holiness so it is good to see what the Scriptures say!
I trust that you have studied the references given in order to achieve a balanced view. For holiness is a requirement of our walk with Jesus.
Broad Wall (1st Temple)
Excavations in the Jewish quarter in the old city of Jerusalem unearthed a section of the 1st temple wall, built by Hezekiah, during the 8th C BC. The wall was intended to protect the city against the Assyrians (Ashur). The impressive wall, almost 8M thick and 8M high, strengthened the defense of the city. This is an important archaeological site, since it remapped the Biblical period city, whose boundaries were not known prior to these excavations.
The name of the wall was used in a later time in the history of the city, when Nehemiah returns from the Babylonia exile and rebuilds the wall and the first phase of the second temple. He built the city in a smaller scale, but on the west section he reuses the Hezekiah "broad wall", as written in the Bible (Nehemiah 3 8): "...and they fortified Jerusalem unto the broad wall". According to most scholars, this broad wall is at this site - what remained from the first temple era.
