The Temple Mount In Zohar Representation

From the Zohar, Bamidbar 161A:

Come and see: when G-d created man in the world, He prepared him [below] similarly to the above. He gave him strength and energy in the middle of his body, where the heart lies, which is the strength of the entire body. From there, the entire body gets sustained and the heart is attached to and strengthened from the higher area above, which is the brain in the head that rests above. And one is connected to the other. [The brain is also attached to and strengthened from the heart.]

In a similar pattern, G-d has prepared the world. He made it one body and He assembled the body organs around the heart, the heart in the center of the whole body, and all the organs take their nourishment from that heart that provides the energy to all of them. Everything is dependent on it. And that heart is connected and united to the upper brain that rests above, as was explained before.

Come and see when G-d created the world, He installed the ocean that surrounds the whole inhabitable planet, and the settlement of all seventy nations surrounding Jerusalem. Jerusalem is situated in the center of all this settled area and it surrounds the temple mount. The temple mount surrounds all the temple courts of Israel, and these Temple courts [figuratively] surround the Chamber of Hewn Stone, the seat of the high court of the Sanhedrin. We have learned that there were no seating privileges in these Temple courts, with the exception made to the kings of the house of David. [These 7 levels of importance correspond to the 7 sefirot.]

The Chamber of Hewn Stone [figuratively] surrounds the altar, and the altar area [figuratively] surrounds the Front Entrance Hall. That hall surrounds the Heichal [the "Holy"; Main Sanctuary] and the Heichal[surrounds] the Holy of Holies, wherein are found the Shechina and the Ark Cover and the Cherubs and the Holy Ark.

Here [in the Holy of Holies] is the heart [the Shechina] of the land and the world. From here, all the settled inhabitable areas, which are the organs of this body, get their nourishment. This heart gets its nourishment from the brain in the head [malchut of Atzilut] and they [Shechina and malchut] unite with each other. This is what is written: "In the Sanctuary, G-d, which Your hands have established." (Ex. 15:17) [The Holy Temple below is directly opposite the Supernal Temple above, which You made.]
