If not, then where? What is the upper room?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>The following is a discussion on this subject based on some research I have just conducted. Enjoy! \u2014Natan<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Acts 2:1,<\/b> <b><i>With one accord in one place.<\/i><\/b> The location of this event was likely in the Solomon\u2019s portico area of the temple mount, and not in the traditional site of the upper room located on Mount Zion in the City of David, which is southeast and outside of the temple mount area. (See notes at Acts 5:12.) Here, the disciples were gathered in one accord. This is likely the spot where the Acts 2 Pentecost gathering occurred.\u00a0 The reasons for this supposition are these: First, this area was large enough to accommodate thousands of people (unlike the traditional upper room location on Mount Zion in the City of David). Second, people from many nations would have been passing through the city gates located in this area en route to the temple and would have heard Peter preaching. Third, mikveh pools were located just to the south of the Temple Mount (and are still visible today) where those who repented and believed could have been easily and quickly baptized.<\/p>\n<p><b>Acts 5:12, <i>Solomon\u2019s porch\/portico\/colonnade<\/i>. <\/b>(See also John 10:23 and Acts 3:11.)<b> <\/b>This was a large covered area supported by marble columns which supported a wooden roof structure and was located on the east side of the temple mount area along the eastern wall that overlooked the Kidron Valley and faced the Mount of Olives just above the Garden of Gethsemane. This portico was built so that pilgrims and Levites visiting the temple would have a place to gather that was protected from the weather. Meetings and gatherings occurred here, and this was a gathering place of the early disciples as noted in Acts 3:11. There Yeshua taught and debated with the Jews (John 10:22\u201329). Here, the disciples were gathered in one accord (Acts 5:12). This is likely the spot where the Acts 2 Pentecost gathering occurred. (See additional comments at Acts 2:1.)<\/p>\n<p>This portico (colonnade or cloister) that was located on the eastern wall and that existed in the time of Yeshua and the disciples was originally constructed by King Solomon according to Flavius Josephus.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>These cloisters belonged to the outer court, and were situated in a deep valley, and had walls that reached four hundred cubits [in length], and were built of square and very white stones, the length of each of which stones was twenty cubits, and their height six cubits. This was the work of King Solomon, who first of all built the entire temple. (Josephus Flavius <i>Ant.<\/i> xx.9.7)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While the Babylonians destroyed the temple in their conquest of Jerusalem in about 586 B.C., if we are to believe Josephus, they apparently left Solomon\u2019s Portico intact.<\/p>\n<p>In the description of Solomon\u2019s Temple and the complex including not only the temple itself, but its adjacent houses, upper chambers or rooms and inner chambers we read the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Then David gave to his son Solomon the plan of the porch of the temple, its buildings, its storehouses, its upper rooms, its inner rooms and the room for the mercy seat; and the plan of all that he had in mind, for the courts of the house of the LORD, and for all the surrounding rooms, for the storehouses of the house of God and for the storehouses of the dedicated things\u2026 (1 Chron 28<br \/>\n11\u201312; NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We don\u2019t know where these upper rooms were located in the temple complex, but if they were located in what later became known as Solomon\u2019s Porch, which was still in existence in the first century, then this may give us a clue where the upper room that is mentioned in the Book of Acts was located, and where the gathering of the saints on the day of Pentecost occurred. In addition to Solomon\u2019s Porch on the east side of the Temple Mount area, additional porticos were constructed subsequently by King Herod (in 16 B.C.) on all the other sides of the Temple Mount along the outside walls (<i>Smith\u2019s Bible Dictionary<\/i>, p. 681; <i>The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia<\/i>, vol 4, p. 772). The portico on the south side was larger and taller than the others and was called the Royal Portico (ibid.; Jospephus\u2019 <i>Ant. <\/i>xv.11.5).
