A church in Sao Paulo, Brazil is planning to recreate Israel's First Temple, which was built by the biblical King Solomon some three thousand years ago and destroyed by the Babylonians 400 years later.
The Universal Church of the Kingdom of God announced that the $113 million project will follow the biblical specifications for the First Temple, even down to the particular method that was proscribed for cutting the building stones.
The 12-floor main building will have a capacity of 10,000.
