Line 152: − − == Reminder: What happened when Zionist Jews, assisted by Anti-Christian Pagan Emperor Julian the Apostate, tried to rebuild the Temple == − − This is from Fish Eaters, a Traditional Catholic Forum. I used to post there long ago, but I think the forum is down now. The main site is still up. It describes what happened when the Jews together with Pagans tried to rebuild the Temple, as a mockery of Christ who predicted its overthrow, under Anti-Christian Pagan Emperor Julian the Apostate. This miraculous fact in Church History is related by various Ecclesiastical Historians as well as Church Fathers as referenced in this link: https://www.fisheaters.com/juliantemple.html − − "What Happened When the Jews − Tried to Rebuild the Temple − under the Christian-hating − Julian the Apostate (A.D. 331-363), − 4th successor to Constantine − − Theodoret (A.D. 397-451) − "Ecclesiastical History" − Book III, Chapter XV − − Julian, who had made his soul a home of destroying demons, went his corybantic way, ever raging against true religion. He accordingly now armed the Jews too against the believers in Christ. He began by enquiring of some whom he got together why, though their law imposed on them the duty of sacrifices, they offered none. On their reply that their worship was limited to one particular spot, this enemy of God immediately gave directions for the re-erection of the destroyed temple, supposing in his vanity that he could falsify the prediction of the Lord, of which, in reality, he exhibited the truth. The Jews heard his words with delight and made known his orders to their countrymen throughout the world. They came with haste from all directions, contributing alike money and enthusiasm for the work; and the emperor made all the provisions he could, less from the pride of munificence than from hostility to the truth. He despatched also as governor a fit man to carry out his impious orders. It is said that they made mattocks, shovels, and baskets of silver. When they had begun to dig and to carry out the earth a vast multitude of them went on with the work all day, but by night the earth which had been carried away shifted back from the ravine of its own accord. They destroyed moreover the remains of the former construction, with the intention of building everything up afresh; but when they had got together thousands of bushels of chalk and lime, of a sudden a violent gale blew, and storms, tempests and whirlwinds scattered everything far and wide. They still went on in their madness, nor were they brought to their senses by the divine longsuffering. Then first came a great earthquake, fit to strike terror into the hearts of men quite ignorant of God's dealings; and, when still they were not awed, fire running from the excavated foundations burnt up most of the diggers, and put the rest to flight. Moreover when a large number of men were sleeping at night in an adjacent building it suddenly fell down, roof and all, and crushed the whole of them. − − '''On that night and also on the following night the sign of the cross of salvation was seen brightly shining in the sky, and the very garments of the Jews were filled with crosses, not bright but black. When God's enemies saw these things, in terror at the heaven-sent plagues they fled, and made their way home, confessing the Godhead of Him who had been crucified by their fathers. Julian heard of these events, for they were repeated by every one. But like Pharaoh he hardened his heart ...
