In this video Dr. Jason Eric Renna from Liberty Church Denver returns for another exciting teaching regarding the Second Temple or Herod's Temple. This lesson discusses a phrase found in Paul's letter to the Ephesians that many gloss over without understanding the practical significance of the phrase, "wall of hostility."

Cheil and Soreg during the Second Temple period in Jerusalem. The Apostle Paul writes about a "wall of hostility" in Ephesians 2:14. This wall and sign is known by the names, "wall of partition," "middle wall of partition," "dividing wall of hostility," and the "dividing wall. The wall, "cheil," was a physical barrier preventing Gentiles from entering certain areas of the Second Temple grounds.

The Temple Warning inscription, also known as the Temple Balustrade inscription or the Soreg inscription, was an inscription that hung along the balustrade outside the Sanctuary of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. Two of these tablets have been found. The inscription was a warning to pagan or Gentile visitors to the temple not to proceed further. Inscribed in the limestone sign was a warning to all Gentiles.

The Soreg read:
"No stranger is to enter within the balustrade round the temple and enclosure. Whoever is caught will be himself responsible for his ensuing
death."
