Leilu Nishmat Reb Eliyahu Tzion ben Reb Chananya Niasoff ז"ל
And in the merit of our partner in Torah Yigal Yisroel ben Sofia שיחיו
This class was presented on Sunday morning, 25 Tamuz 5776, July 31, 2016, at Ohr Chaimshul, Monsey, NY. It explains the reason the Rambam gives us an unusual history lesson about the Holy Ark in his halachik work. "When King Solomon built the Holy Temple, knowing that it was destined to be destroyed, he built a place in which to hide the Ark, [at the end of] hidden, deep, winding passageways.” It was there that King Josiah placed the Ark twenty-two years before the Temple’s destruction.
The Beis Hamikdash in Jerusalem was built by King Solomon in the year 2928 from creation (833 BCE), and was destroyed 410 years later, on the ninth day of the month of Av, by the armies of the Babylonian emperor Nebuchadnezzar. Seventy years later it was rebuilt; the second Temple stood for 420 years, until its destruction by the Romans, also on the ninth of Av, in 3829 (69 CE).
From the Rambam's words about the Ark we discover that the core of the Temple was never destroyed. What is more, it means that the first, second and third Temples are not three different structures, but the continuum of a single edifice. in this class we also discover why we allow ourselves to make such destructive mistakes. It turns out we are the ones who do this to ourselves for a very healing reason.

Question of Validity thus Requiring a Source
If you do not accept the Baal Shem's foundational theory of hidden Self-Judgement then the basis of the dvar torah is faulty. Please give the Baal Shem source like a Zohar or a Medrash : where Hashem has individuals (neshama) on Yom HaDin judge others to provide self-judgement?

N. Purim Katipunan -7 months ago
The roots of our Balitiki, the World (Fig) Tree of the Filipino, reached all the way down to Yrushalayim, deep into the living caverns of the Beis HaMikdosh, which lay deep within the ground, where it was never destroyed.
On this day of Purim:
Para sa mga himala, para sa pagliligtas, para sa malalakas na gawa, para sa mga tagumpay, at para sa mga laban na ginawa Mo para sa aming mga ninuno sa mga araw na iyon, sa oras na ito ng taon.
Salamat Bathala Maykapal (HaShem of many layers) para sa milagro ng Purim. El Melech (Ne'eman) Namin {Our Faithful King}. Amen.
