And with their deaths, they
destroyed our greatest secret.

1:06:05
In the centre of the temple
was the heart of Jewish life,

1:06:09
the holy of holies.
1:06:12
It was the earthly residence
of our God.

1:06:16
The one God.
1:06:19
It housed the Ark
of the Tabernacle,

1:06:22
which stored the original 10
Commandments

1:06:24
which God gave to Moses.
1:06:28
Only one man was allowed
to enter this holy of holies

1:06:32
on one day, the holiest day
of the year, Yom Kippur.

1:06:37
On the Day of Atonement,
1:06:38
all of lsrael
would descend upon Jerusalem

1:06:40
to watch the High Priest,
the Cohen Godul,

1:06:44
make his trip
to the holy of holies.

1:06:47
If the High Priest was pure,
he would emerge moments later

1:06:51
and we'd have a prosperous year.
1:06:54
It meant we were one year closer
to the Messianic age.

1:06:58
But, if he was impure,
he would die instantly

1:07:04
and it meant we were doomed.
1:07:08
The High Priest
had one ritual to perform there.

1:07:11
He had to intone a single word.
1:07:14
Yeah?
1:07:16
That word was
the true name of God.

1:07:22
So?
1:07:24
The true name,
which only the Cohanim knew,

1:07:28
was 216 letters long.
1:07:36
Are you telling me that...
1:07:39
That the number in my head
is the true name of God.

1:07:43
Yes! It's the key
to the Messianic age.

1:07:47
It will take us closer
to the Garden of Eden.

1:07:49
As the temple burnt,
the Talmud tells us

1:07:52
the High Priest
walked into the flames.

1:07:55
He took the key to the top
of the building,

1:07:58
the heavens opened
and received the key
