according to jewish tradition, both jewish temples stood at the temple mount, though archaeological evidence only exists for the second temple. however, the identification of solomon's temple with the area of the temple mount is widespread. according to the bible the site should function as the center of all national life—a governmental, judicial and religious center. during the second temple period it functioned also as an economic center. according to jewish tradition and scripture, the first temple was built by king solomon the son of king david in 957 bce and destroyed by the babylonians in 586 bce. the second was constructed under the auspices of zerubbabel in 516 bce and destroyed by the roman empire in 70 ce. in the 2nd century, the site was used for a temple to jupiter capitolinus. it was redeveloped following the arab conquest. jewish texts predict that the mount will be the site of a third and final temple, which will be rebuilt with the coming of the jewish messiah. a number of vocal jewish groups now advocate building the third holy temple without delay in order to bring to pass god's "end-time prophetic plans for israel and the entire world."
