The temple of Solomon will be erected in Brazil

In San Paulo, it is planned to build a building copying the temple, built in Jerusalem 3 thousand years ago by the Jewish Tsar Solomon. The Jerusalem Temple of Solomon, or the first temple, was destroyed by the troops of the Babylonian king Navudonor.

The temple in San Paulo will be the building of the church of local Christians. The estimated cost of construction is 200 million dollars, reports Newsru Israel .

The Brazilian universal church of the Kingdom of God plans to build a temple capable of accommodating 10 thousand people. Inside, the authors of the idea also decided to place a copy of the ark of the covenant described in the Bible.

Commenting on the decision on the construction of the Temple of Solomon, Bishop Edir Macedo said that the king was building a temple, decorating it with tons of gold. “We have no gold, but we spend huge amounts of construction, which, in general, is the same,” he said.

The temple in San Paulo should reach a height of 55 meters, which is almost twice as high as the famous statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro. The length of the temple will be 126 m, the width is 104 m.

The temple complex, developed by the architect of Roderigo Silva de Araujo, also includes parking for 1 thousand places, a school for 1 thousand 300 children, television studio and radio studio.

The city authorities gave permission to build. The Jewish community of Brazil has not yet commented on the project for the construction of the temple in San Paulo.

The Brazilian universal church of the Kingdom of God was founded in 1977 and today has 8 million followers around the world.
