Hi,
A fascinating mystical idea: The Beit haMikdash is designed to parallel features of our planet:
"For this reason they said that the Temple Mount was 500
by 500 [cubits], parallel to the world as a whole, which is 500 years' walk in
width and length, 500 by 500.
"And it is known that the world stands without
support, suspended by the declaration of Gd, like Job 27, 'He suspends the
world on nothing.' So they said that under the Temple Mount were domes
upon domes, with hollow spaces below, like the world standing upon nothing."
(Rabbi Moshe Isserles, Torat haOlah 1:1)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
