This information does not take away from the, Law of the Temple found in Ezekiel 43:12. All surrounding area on top of the mountain (Mt Moriah) will be most Holy. Such is the Law of the Temple. However, Ezekiel states that the outer court will be given over to the Gentiles for 42 months; 1260 days =1260 years.
THIS IS THE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF Mt ZION 
NOT THIS 
… THIS IS THE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF MT. MORIAH
THE CALIPH OMAR LED HIS ARMY IN TO SYRIA, AT THE DEATH OF MOHMMED IN 632; IN 634ad DAMASCUS WAS TAKEN. AT THE BATTLE OF YERMOUK THE EASTERN ROMAN ARMIES WERE OVERTHROWN, AND THE FATE OF SYRIA DETERMINED; IN THE YEAR 637ad JERUSALEM WAS CAPTURED AFTER A FOUR MONTH SEIGE. THE HEBREW PATRIARCH, SOPHONIUS, WHO WAS GOVERNOR OF THE CITY, SURRENDERED TO OMAR. THE CONQUEST WAS COMPLETED IN 638ad AND THE ORIGINAL MOSQUE OF OMAR WAS ERECTED. THIS IS THE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF MT MORIAH ON WHICH “STANDS” , KNOWN TODAY AS THE DOME OF THE ROCK.
677ad + 1260 days = 1937ad
677ad + 1290 days = 1967ad
677ad + 1335 days = 2012ad
THIS IS NOT MT ZION; THE DOME IS SITUATED IN COURT OF THE GENTILES, EXACTLY WHERE EZEKIEL PROPHCIED (Ezekiel 40:17; Revelation 11:2), IT WOULD BE LOCATED FOR 42 MONTHS. THE DOME IS 330 FEET SOUTH OF THE SITES OF BOTH SOLOMON’S TEMPLE AND THE ZERUBBABEL’S 2ND TEMPLE. EZEKIELS’S TEMPLE IS SOLOMONS TEMPLE. SOLOMON’S TEMPLE FACES DIRECTLY AT THE GOLDEN GATE, THE DOUBLE ARCHED GATE; THE DOME OF THE ROCK DOES NOT.
