Another thousand years passed. The gold of Solomon's Temple was gone. On the same peak — the same limestone where Abraham's ram was caught and Solomon's altar stood — three crosses rose against a sky breaking with gold. The Lamb, the Scepter, the Passover blood, the scapegoat's scarlet, the Star of Jacob — all converged here, at the center cross.
