Additional information:
According to "Associates for Scriptural Knowledge"
(http://www.askelm.com/temple/t980504.htm), the Greek word translated to the
English word "temple" in paragraphs 087 and
093 means the entire Temple including
its exterior buildings, walls, and, of course, their foundations. Crosswalk
confirms, at
http://bible1.crosswalk.com/Lexicons/Greek/grk.cgi?number=3485&version=kjv
that there is another word for temple which other word means the temple or
sanctuary exclusive of any other structures (buildings, fences, plazas, etc)
that might be associated with or related to the temple. Crosswalk further
confirms that the word used in paragraphs 087 and 093 was, in 100% of the
instances, the word which means the entire Temple complex. The Web Bible
Encyclopedia (at
http://www.christiananswers.net/dictionary/temple.html ) agrees with this
interpretation, as do several other references, and no contradictory references
were found. So, for the purposes of this document, the meaning "temple complex" is accepted
to be the meaning of the word "temple" in paragraphs 087 and 093. The
important consequence of this meaning in these instances is explained at
http://www.askelm.com/temple/t980504.htm .
