Perhaps it is best to be brief on these points as Knowledge depends on the recipients capacity but to clarify on a few matters for deeper understanding at a later time ...
Firstly ...
On the NWO's aka Satan's fascination and obsession with The Star Gates ...it is said that THEY who have but "one-eye" (meaning attachment to the material world only) may not enter.
Therefore if they seek it in order to destroy ...then they may try and we will see what occurs.
Suffice for men/women of understanding and knowledge that the keys to the (star)gates are within them ...
Secondly ...
On Prophet Muhammad's ascension thru the Seven Heavens ...perhaps it is best to look at that event from the point of view of current SCIENTIFIC - SPIRITUAL knowledge rather than to view the paintings of the past or to read the speculations of ordinary men who struggled to comprehend its meaning.
A simple look at Hubble will suffice in this regard ...

May we also recommend this website for a decent rendering of the Ascension and its meaning to us in this generation:
THE INFINITE LIGHT
http://www.infinitelight.org/miracles/ascensions.html
Suffice for us who know and understand that the Prophet Muhammad stood as the example of The Perfect Man i.e. illustrating our true potential as The Ultimate Creation.
Interestingly it is apparent that the Ascension influenced the writings of Dante ...

On the "hanging-stone" under The DOME of The Rock - it is still there but "supports" were put underneath simply to prevent ordinary men from idolatorous behavior ...our current understanding of forces geomagnetic would ease some of the earlier misunderstandings.
IMAGE: Interior of the Dome of the Rock, Jerusalem. The uppermost inscription in the dome is a Qur'anic verse which begins, "God there is no god but He, the Living, the Self-Subsisting Eternal...." The lower inscription, above the windows, records the restoration of the building by Saladin in the late 12th century. (Aramco World Magazine, September-October 1996; photo Peter Sanders).

On Jerusalem - it is the meeting place for ALL the Prophets ...and where our fate will be determined in this world before entry to the NEXT.
We need to hasten our understanding - all men/women need to ...if possible - it is better together as in marriage partners - but not essential.
Each to his/her own.

Comparisons to Other Religions
The importance of the number seven can be seen in numerous cultural and religious traditions worldwide, such as the near-ubiquitous seven-day week which comes from the ancient Near East and has been spread throughout the world by the three Abrahamic religions.
In Judaism and Christianity, there are the seven days of creation, and in Christianity seven deadly sins and seven cardinal virtues.
In Judaism, the Sabbath, or seventh day of the week, is considered a sacred day, and seven is also a key number in Jewish mysticism.
The number seven is also important for Zoroastrians because it is seen as the perfect union between man and woman and the spiritual and material (the number three in reference to the masculine tri-part spiritual-soul, body, mind-and the number four in reference to the feminine material elements--earth, air, fire and water).
