Interfaith compound with a synagogue, mosque and church in Abu Dhabi
Revelation 3
2 Wake up, and strengthen what remains …
9 Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.
11 I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. 12 The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name.
13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of the true one, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Hebrews 9:24
On the last day of the festival, the great day, while Jesus was standing there, he cried out, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me” John 7:37
The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

The AFH is an interfaith complex designed by architect David Adjaye that contains a church, a synagogue and a mosque, has opened in Abu Dhabi. Located on Saadiyat Island – a cultural hub positioned off the coast of Abu Dhabi – the project incorporates three separate houses of worship for the three Abrahamic religions Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
Adjaye Associates has studios in Accra, London and New York. The firm was recently named as one of a list of firms reported to be working on The Line megacity in Saudi Arabia. Saadiyat Island is home to the Louvre Abu Dhabi, a Jean Nouvel-designed art gallery that opened in 2017. Other projects planned for the island include Foster + Partners' long-awaited Zayed National Museum and architect Frank Gehry's Guggenheim museum scheduled to open in 2025.
The (Arabic: بيت العائلة الإبراهيمية) is an interfaith complex on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi.

It houses the St. Francis Church, Imam Al-Tayeb Mosque and Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue in separate structures. The project was announced by Abdullah bin Zayed, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation, on Feb. 5, 2019 at a meeting of the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity at the New York Public Library. It was officially inaugurated on 16 February 2023 by Lt. General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, and Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence. The implementation of the project is supervised by the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity (HCHF).
The space's design is similar to that of the Tri-Faith Commons which also has a synagogue, church, mosque, and interfaith center on 38-acres in the American heartland of Omaha, Nebraska.

This week’s Torah reading (i.e., parashat Mishpatim) concerns various social and civil laws of ancient Israel. Regarding the opening statement of the portion: “And these are the judgments (i.e., mishpatim: הַמִּשְׁפָּטִים) which you shall set before them” (Exod. 21:1), the sages state that this means there must be the recognition of social obligation between man and his fellow man before the obligation between man and God can be embraced (see Matt. 5:23-24). This idea may be summed up as, “respect precedes Torah” (דרך ארץ קדמה לתורה), since without any form of brotherhood, unity, or basic civility, we are left with anarchy, anomie, and despair... As we move closer to the prophesied “End of Days” (אַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים), it is evident that the world has become more and more lawless, heartless, and a place of despair. Civil law is flouted and every person does “what is right in his own eyes.” The storm clouds are gathering...
But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!

"And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." - Luke 21:34-36

Earthquake in Turkey felt in Israel - An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.7 occured in Turkey early on Monday morning. It was felt in the Sharon region in Israel at a magnitude of 4.7.
Gaziantep Castle, a Highly Significant 2,000-Year-Old Structure, Destroyed in Turkey Earthquake. Dating back to the Roman empire, around the second, third, and fourth centuries A.D., the structure was originally built as a lookout. It was expanded to its current form by Byzantine emperor Justinianus during the sixth century.

After earthquake and rain, damage reported at the Muslim structures on the Temple Mount
The tiles on the exterior feature Arabic calligraphy recording Surah Ya-Sin (the ‘Heart of the Quran’) which was commissioned in the 16th century by Suleiman the Magnificent.
This stone was part of many ceramic tiles that were installed during the recent restoration works at the Dome of the Rock. Last year, Islamic Awqaf officials at the Aqsa Mosque in Occupied Jerusalem had voiced concern over Israeli diggings beneath the holy site, which they said caused cracks and other damage to its building’s structure. Vibrations believed to be caused by Israeli underground diggings led to the fall of several stone parts from the Mosque’s ceilings and walls over the past few years.
