"Y-H-V-H (--we pronounce that 'Havayeh,' as the Torah instructs us not to pronounce the four letter name of G-d the way it is written; more about this name later--) is in this place, and I didn't realize!" Once this realization had hit him, he trembled and said, "This place is awesome!" (The classic Aramaic translation reads, "This is not a normal place.") And then, "This could only be the house of Elokim, and this is the gateway of heaven!"

It was more than seven hundred years before Jacob's vision could be fulfilled, when King Solomon built the Holy Temple on that mountain, placed the Holy of Holies around that spot, and placed the Holy Ark on the rock where Jacob had laid his head to rest. The rabbis of the Talmud call that rock "the foundation stone" -- because, they say, from it the world was begun. Read that as "the origin of something from nothing and the place where the two meet."
Scripture: John 2:13-25
13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.14 In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers at their business. 15 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple; and he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16 And he told those who sold the pigeons, "Take these things away; you shall not make my Father's house a house of trade." 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for thy house will consume me." 18 The Jews then said to him, "What sign have you to show us for doing this?" 19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." 20 The Jews then said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?" 21 But he spoke of the temple of his body. 22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken. 23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs which he did; 24 but Jesus did not trust himself to them, 25 because he knew all men and needed no one to
bear witness of man; for he himself knew what was in man.http://www.rc.net/wcc/readings/john213.htm
