"The High Court of Justice on Sunday rejected a request by the Temple Mount Faithful to place what the organization said was the cornerstone of the Third Temple next to the Western Wall, Israel Radio reported.

The court also rejected a request by the group to visit the Temple Mount after 9 A.M. during the week-long Sukkot holiday, which begins Monday night. The organization says its goal is to build the Third Temple on the Temple Mount and to liberate the Temple Mount from "Arab occupation."

The justices said they feared clashes because Sukkot coincides this year with the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, which has become a time of increased attacks by suicide bombers in addition to being a month of fasting and introspection."

2. To the end-timers it is....

...the Temple Mount Faithful have a diiferent reason to rebuild:

"The main goal of the Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement is to bring the G-d of Israel and the Universe to the center of all aspects of the life of this nation and all mankind. This can and must only be done in the place which G-d chose to be His House on the Temple Mount on the location of the First and Second Temples. A new era will be opened in the life of all the world and Mashiach ben David will come and be the King of Israel and all mankind."
