Carte de visite by Evans & Prince of York, Pa. A tailor born in Philadelphia, Pa., William Hopple Ware made his way to York, Pa., during the early part of the war. In late January 1864, he enlisted for a 5-year term as a hospital steward in the regular army. Assigned to the general hospital in York, he served in this capacity through the end of the war, and continued in the Office of the Surgeon General in Washington, D.C. He resigned about 1866, and made his way West with his wife, Ophelia, and children, and established himself as a minister and temperance activist associated with the Good Templars. His travels took him to Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and North Dakota. He died in 1894 at age 57. His wife and at least four children survived him.

This is a door on the Knight Templar Castle in Akko, Israel. One of the vivid reminders of the history of this small town.
The Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes in Rhodes, Greece, was the headquarters of the Knights Templar from 1310 to 1522. In that year the Ottoman Turks conquered the island and the Knights were forced to relocate to Malta.

Rothley Court Hotel has a rather unusual building attached to it, this being the former preceptory chapel built by the Knight's Templar in 1231. It continued to operate under the Knights Hospitallers following the fall of the Templar order and remained in use as a religious establishment until the Dissolution when like all such communities it was suppressed on the orders of Henry VIII as part of his drive to provide plunder for the crown. The buildings then fell into the hands of the Babington family who fortunately decided to retain the chapel when they built their family mansion on the site, which today operates as a hotel.
The chapel is a single chamber with Early-English lancet window on all sides except the east which has a larger traceried window. It is entered via a vaulted chamber accessed from inside the mansion / hotel. The original fittings have gone but otherwise the chapel is structurally complete and not too thoroughly restored. Items of note within include some 17th century enameled heraldic pieces in the east window and a very worn and broken medieval effigy (found buried in Rothley churchyard in 1790) which is believed to represent a Templar Knight.
Rothley Templar Chapel is probably normally accessible within reasonable hours to anyone enquiring at the hotel reception (provided it's not in use for a function).

Ponferrada lies in the Way of St. James, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and every year many pilgrims pass through the city in their way to Santiago de Compostela. Las Médulas, ancient Roman gold mines also included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site List, are only a few kilometres away from the city.
Ponferrada is also noted for its Castillo de los Templarios, a Templar castle which covers approximately 16,000 square meters. In 1178, Ferdinand II of León donated the city to the Templar order for protecting the pilgrims on the Way of St. James who passed through El Bierzo in their road to Santiago de Compostela.
The castle hosted the Knights Templar's Grand Master of Castille. However, the Templars were only able to enjoy the use of their fortress for about twenty years before the order was disbanded and its properties confiscated in 1311. Several noble houses fought over the assets until Alfonso XI alloted them to the Count of Lemos in 1340. Finally the Catholic Monarchs incorporated Ponferrada and its castle into the Crown in 1486.

When the Knights Templar settled in Bruges, at the place called Tempelhof, near Schipsdael-lez-Bruges (Scheepsdale), as well as at the rue des Teinturiers, the Marché aux Poissons, the Hôpital des Pauvres (later named "Hôpital de Saint-Jean"), and at Westmeersch near the beguinage, they participate in this commercial expansion and enrichment of the city in various ways, including through the control they will have had - through tolls - of a large part of maritime traffic. As the Order of the Temple is attached to the rule of Saint Benedict, the Houses and Commanderies were generally "twinned" with a nearby Benedictine abbey. The Knights Templar of Bruges will therefore be in close contact with the Cistercian abbey of Ter Doest in Lissewege, a nearby village located on one of the pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela (the church of Lissewege, monumental for the place - three hundred inhabitants at the time - was erected by the Knights Templar). In 1148, Thierry d'Alsace, Count of Flanders, who founded the House of the Temple of Douai in 1155, had a few drops of Christ's Holy Blood transported from Jerusalem to Bruges. The Templars of Bruges will escort this relic, which is still present in the Basilica of the Holy Blood in this city. A legend says that it was indeed Knights of the Order of the Temple who discovered this precious blood, in a stone vessel of the Holy Grave, near the temple of Solomon, in the very presence of Thierry of Alsace and his wife Sybil, who, at that very moment, had a vision of the heavenly Jerusalem in the form of a "new Jerusalem of the West"... who was none other than Bruges.Approximately 12 miles south of the Temple is the City, bordered by four walls whose sides are all equal. (Remember that JERUSALEM comprises the Temple and the City, where the Temple is the Palace or Habitation of the Messiah (Isa.2:2; Ezek.43:7) in connection with the City, when He, as the Glory of Yahweh, will from time to time visit His earthly metropolis.) Each of the four walls measures 4,500 reeds (or approximately 11 miles) long. Including the suburbs around it, the City is about 12 miles square. Read Ezekiel chapter 48. “All the oblation” (i.e. the area of land offered as heave offering to God) has a total area of 25,000 by 25,000 reeds (60 by 60 miles) — the northern portion for the Levites is 25,000 by 10,000 reeds; the middle portion for the priests is 25,000 by 10,000 reeds; and the southern portion, the “possession of the city” is 25,000 by 5,000 reeds. In the centre of the “possession of the city” is the City. North of the “oblation” are allotted to seven of the twelve tribes of Israel. South of the “oblation” are allotted to the rest of the five tribes. The distance of 12 miles between the Temple and the City is the result of the fulfillment of the Biblical prophecy of Zechariah 14:4-5 (cf. Rev.6: 12-17). A “very great valley” will cleave through the Mount of Olives towards the west (Mount Zion is on the west) and towards the east when the Lord Jesus shall return with His saints to fight for Israel in the Day of the Lord. Hence, the psalm of King David: “Beautiful for situation (elevation), the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion on the sides of the north, the city of the great King” (Psm.48:2). There are three gates on each side of the city wall. Each gate carries a name of the twelve tribes of Israel. This proves that the Oracles of God were truly given unto Isaac, the Promised Son of Abraham and Sarah, and not Ishmael who was of the bondwoman, Hagar (Acts 7:37-38; Rom.3:1-2). In the Book of Revelation, the Holy City, New Jerusalem also has twelve gates with the names of the twelves tribes upon them (Rev.21:12-13), but it is not recorded which name appears on which gate. (There are reasons which we shall see later.) However, many theologians, even Endtime Message believers, with their intellectual reasoning have 'cleverly' deduced that Ezekiel's Temple is that Holy City, New Jerusalem. How could they fail to see that in the Millennial Age the Temple of Ezekiel is 12 miles north of the City, whereas in the Eternal Age the HOLY CITY, NEW JERUSALEM has the “TEMPLE” within IT? (The “Temple” within the Holy City, New Jerusalem shows us the perfect oneness of Christ and His Redeemed.) Ezekiel's Temple is a literal temple, so is the City a literal city. Both will be built in the very near future. The Temple of Ezekiel is as real and as tangible as the Tabernacle of Moses, Solomon's Temple and Herod's Temple. However, contrary to popular belief, the Holy City, New Jerusalem is not a literal city that has a literal temple in it. Some even believe (or fantasize) that it is a literal city hanging or floating above the city of Jerusalem. The fact is that the HOLY CITY, NEW JERUSALEM is nothing less than the Glorified Spiritual body of the people of God who have been redeemed throughout the ages since Adam was created until the time Death is destroyed by Jesus Christ (Y'shua the Messiah) Who would then hand back to God the Father (Yahweh) the authority that was invested in Him, and be subject unto God, that God may be all in all (1 Cor.15:24-28).
ONE RIVER
From our study thus far, we have notice that a river played an important part in the settings of both the Garden of Eden and the Millennial Temple. The river brought life to everything around it. In the “Garden of Eden” scene, a river flowed eastward from Eden to water the Garden and from thence it parted into four heads. This river cut through the middle of the Garden where the Tree of Life was presented and it brought life to all the living things in the Garden, from mankind down to the tiniest of flora. Wherever its water flowed there was life. As it left the Garden to the 'four corners of the world' outside, its nutrients also sustained all the living things around it. Adam and his Wife ate of the natural trees and drank of the natural water to sustain themselves naturally, but they ate of the spiritual Tree of Life and drank of the spiritual Water of the Word of Life which were in the midst of the Garden to sustain themselves spiritually. And in the “Millennial Temple” scene, a river also flowed eastward. Ezekiel saw waters issued forth towards the east from under the threshold, from the south side of the altar. The waters became deeper with every measurement of a thousand cubits, and on the banks of the river were very many trees. Like the river in the beginning, this river was also full of life — a double waters, for it not only came from a mountain source (fresh spring) but it also came from where the Tree of Life (the Shekinah Glory of the Lord) was presented. It came from the Temple ground. The waters gave life wherever it flowed as it moved eastward towards the Dead Sea. There would be a great multitude of fishes thriving in these waters. Except for certain swampy and marshy areas which would be given to salt, the Dead Sea would be healed and every kind of fishes which are found in the Mediterranean Sea would be found in it. (The fishes in these waters could only be the result of the geographical upheaval in fulfillment of the prophecy in Zechariah 14:1-8.) It would be a great place for fishermen. (Read Ezekiel 47:1-11.)
“And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.– Ezekiel 47:12 Yes, the natural river would be so full of waters of life that there would be no lack of fruits growing upon the trees, and because of the healing properties of the waters, the leaves of these trees would also possess medicinal values. Likewise, spiritually, from the Throne of the Temple, the Lord's Christ would issue forth His Word of Life like waters flowing all over the earth, and “the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea” (Isa.11:9; Hab.2:14). The King of kings and the Lord of lords shall rule the earth with a rod of iron (Rev.12:5; cf. Mic.4:1-4, Isa.2:2-4) such that the natural and mortal man may be regenerated under His Laws and His Righteousness. “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit” (Jer.17:7-8). Truly, those who trust and obey the Laws of the Lord during His Reign of a thousand years will live forever, but the days of the rebellious shall be cut short.
THE MILLENNIAL TEMPLE
The Temple which Ezekiel saw in his visions would be constructed differently from the Tabernacle of Moses, the First Temple of Solomon and the Second Temple of Herod. Instead of a rectangular wall around the Temple (i.e. the Inner Sanctuary or Sanctuary proper which comprises the Most Holy Place and the Holy Place), which itself is rectangular, it has an inner court of 300 cubits square and an outer court of 500 cubits square around it. [1 cubit is about 12 feet.] The outer court separates the “sanctuary” area (i.e. the courts and buildings) from the “profane place” (i.e. the common area). The altar area which is just outside the Temple is 100 cubits square. [In Biblical numerology, the odd single-digit numbers relate to divinity. 1 represents Unity, the Oneness and Sufficiency of God. 3 represents Divine Perfection and its Completeness. 5 represents the Grace and Saving Power of God.] The symmetrical layout of the whole sanctuary emphasizes the Grace of Divine Worship of the One True God. Also, unlike the other sacred buildings, EZEKIEL'S TEMPLE (as it is called) has three gates in the outer court, each positionally centered in the north, east and south. The inner court has three gateways relative to the gates of the outer courts. (Read chapters 40-42.) Each of these gates has seven steps, and each of the gateways has eight steps. The one last entrance into the Temple has ten steps. These different levels of steps and heights toward the Temple proper point to the worshippers seeking for spiritual perfection, deliverance and the laws of God. Hence, Ezekiel's Temple looks like a PYRAMIDAL BUILDING with a TOWERING TEMPLE, the place of God's Shekinah Glory, where the Prince of Israel, Jesus Christ (Y'shua HaMashiach), shall sit and receive worship as He rules over Israel and the nations of the world. Because the Lord Jesus Christ is THE ARK OF THE TRUE COVENANT, there will be no wooden ark overlaid with gold in the Temple. Yes, in that day, when the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven is over and the Great Tribulation is ended, when the Lord's Christ shall come with His saints, all riding on white horses, to Jerusalem to fight in the Battle of Armageddon (Rev.16:16; Zech.14:1-15) and to set up His Kingdom, the Glory of Israel shall come from the “way of the east” into the House (Ezek.43:2,4), and the Lord (Yahweh) shall say, “The place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile…” (Ezek.43:7). “And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow into it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light" (Isa.2:2-5). Amen. The Prince shall teach them to walk in the Light of the Glory of Yahweh – the Father of Life! The Wife of Christ (the Glorified Redeemed) shall rule with Him together with the Twelve Apostles over the twelve tribes of Israel (Matt.19:28; Rev.20:6).
