The hill was closer to heaven than the surrounding area.
The temple was easier to defend in its location on the hill.
There was already a temple on the Mount of Olives.

That girl on your avatar looks like she’s 7 years old!!!

Is the Mount of Olives in the West Bank and if not how far to the West Bank.
I know they say east Jerusalem, but on a map I looked at it almost looked to be further east and actually in the West bank.

mount of olives is the ridge that lays between the old city of jerusalem and the judean desert. between them lays the kidron valley.
the mt of olives is in what is called "east jerusalem", the area that was occupied by jordan until 1967 and was annexed by israel following the 6 day war.
the name "west bank" is misleading. it makes people think of just the area on the bank of the river, in fact in some places it’s wider than the remaining bit between it and the sea.

Well, a few months later, here’s the spring concert version of the piece that already has more than 1,300 views. Not sure it can compete … except they’ve had more practice! (Of course, this one was performed after a tornado passed through and the choir had just returned from being evacuated. I’ll say, Hallelujah!)

Good Luck!!!

He taught us on the Mount of Olives, gave us two commandments and from then on preached how he will return to earth. Where did all this extra stuff come from?
what referrest thou to? You know, "extra stuff".

The two commandments that Jesus gave were originally in the Old Testament. Jesus was just reminding everyone what the original law was before everything blew up out of control. All the extra stuff is just detailed examples of the two great commandments.

Temple Mount. Randall Niles views the Temple Mount of Ancient Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives across the Kidron Valley.

The Temple Mount in Jerusalem is the location of the first and second Jewish Temples, the first built by King Solomon in the mid-900s BC, and the second by the returning Jews from Babylonian captivity in the early 500s BC. In the first century BC, King Herod rebuilt and expanded the second temple, doubling the area of the Temple Mount and surrounding it with four massive walls. The western retaining wall is the longest and still used today as a sacred area for Jewish prayer.

Herods Temple Mount is the Jerusalem of Jesus time. It was this Temple where Jesus taught the people and rebuked the Jewish leadership during holy festivals. The Temple Mount during Jesus time was an awesome site, taking 1,000 Jewish priests and 10,000 laborers nine years to complete under Herod. In 70 AD, the Jerusalem of Jesus time, including the Jewish Temple, was totally destroyed by the Romans.

Since the 7th century AD, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem has been the site of two major Muslim religious shrines, the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Remarkably, the Temple Mount, also known as Mount Moriah, is the holiest site in Judaism, the third holiest site in Islam, and a primary site of historical significance for Christianity. Thus, it has been, and continues to be, one of the most volatile sites on the globe.

my dear jews =your thoughts please ,,,,,

In Jewish tradition, the Mount of Olives is closely associated with the concept of resurrection. The Biblical prophet Zecharia foretold that when the Messiah arrives in Jerusalem, the first dead to be resurrected will be those who are buried on the Mount of Olives. This is why many Jews are buried on the mountain, with some of the graves dating back to the First Temple period. The cemetery appears to be in disrepair now because many graves were defaced during the nineteen-year Jordanian occupation of Jerusalem that began in 1948.

The mountain is mentioned at several points in the Bible, most notably when King David fled to the Mount of Olives for refuge during the rebellion of his son Absalom.
