Once upon a time I had a very lucid dream that I was taken back in time to tour "Solomon's Temple" as in the one that stood during the reign of the ancient Israelite king named Solomon. In sum, it was laid plainly that the temple building had anthropomorphic design (laid out like the body of a man). From two sources I would find further validation.
Also, back in mid 90s, I had another dream I was taken on a flying tour by Moses and he showed me a military/naval fleet crossing the Atlantic, mainly the boats and craft such were painted Olive Drab / Green and there was a dragon (Leviathan/Sea Serpent) hidden among the fleet--all heading toward the USA. Strangely enough, years later military patches bearing serpent figures started popping up. Where the fleet came from: I got the impression it was derived of passengers from Europe and the Middle East.

Re: Destruction of the Herod Temple.
It is suggested that Revelations was penned before 66AD. There were various people who gave witness of the pending destruction back then--from the public record it was very public. If I recall correctly, the Herod Temple was missing 'hands'.
Also, remember there was also the Tabernacle of David.
