Looking out over the city of Jerusalem, you'll notice there are no high-rise towers, and almost all of the buildings are made of uniformly colored limestone. This stone is considered sacred because it was chosen by God for the construction of his "house" on Temple Mount.
The quarries are close by and much confusion has arisen as to how the stones were moved into place. One stone in the Western Wall is 47 feet long, 11 feet high and is placed high up in the structure. It weighs 400 tons!
The Jewish rabbis say this stone is the work of Angels.
A quote from the Bible . . . .
1 Kings 6:7 "neither hammer nor ax nor any tool of iron was heard in the temple while it was being built."
