He sort of has his own cult.He is one seriously courageous Muslim to be in support of the rebuilding of the Temple of Solomon!

Jesus Christ is the King of the Jews (and of everybody else). Jesus Christ is the only king the Jews need.
Why was the first Temple destroyed?
Because there was idolatry, promiscuity and murder.
But the second Temple,
at which time they were occupied in Torah, mitzot and charity.
Why was it destroyed?
Because there was a baseless hate between them.
Talmud Yoma 9b.
Had there been unity they would have merited protection from above.
Not all support the idea,
It is more to do with politics.
I suspect.
I just want to say that I am truly sorry for all those years that I was close to believing in near total pacifism! Rabbi Jesus/Yehoshua once asked a question of the Scribes and Pharisees that should have made it obvious to me that an extreme situation can call for drastic action by a Christian or Jew who feels called into a life in the military or police!
Mark 3:4 "And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace."
I am almost certain that Rabbi Jesus/Yehoshua was referring to the situation faced by the Machabees when Greco - Syrian armies were attacking Jewish communities on the Sabbath.
One community had refused to fight back....but the Machabees....in my opinion correctly judged that this is a violation of an admonition by King Solomon:
Ecclesiastes 7:16 "Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?"
Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, First Book Of Machabees Chapter 2
Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, 1 Machabees Chapter 2
...
"So they gave them battle on the sabbath: and they were slain with their wives, and their children, and their cattle, to the number of a thousand persons. [39] And Mathathias and his friends heard of it, and they mourned for them exceedingly. [40] And every man said to his neighbour: If we shall all do as our brethren have done, and not fight against the heathens for our lives, and our justifications: they will now quickly root us out of the earth.
[41] And they determined in that day, saying: Whosoever shall come up against us to fight on the sabbath day, we will fight against him: and we will not all die, as our brethren that were slain in the secret places."
Jesus Christ is the King of the Jews (and of everybody else). Jesus Christ is the only king the Jews need.
A strange thought has often crossed my mind......... what could have happened if there had been a Messianic Jewish Prophet during the time of Rabbi Akiba......... who might have advised the Messianic Jewish community to assist Simon Bar Kochba and Rabbi Akiba????
It is kind of a strange thought....... and probably not a good thought..... but I read "Son of a Star" by Andrew Meisels many moons ago.......(about the Bar Kochba Revolt).......
and I couldn't help but wonder about that possibility???
An apology to all members of the military and police!
I understand it as so that, in every generation there has been a "Messiah" in as much as,
An extension of the spirit of Moses.
But not The Messiah, who shall usher in the Messanic era,
gather in the exiles, rebuild the Temple.
But hei, I,m not losing any sleep over it.
Psalms 127:2,
It is vain for you,
you who rise early,
who sit up late,
and who eat the bread of tension,
For in fact He gives His loved ones sleep.
And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
Is King David raised up for the Jewish people a significant amount of time previous to when the feet of Messiah stand on the Mt. of Olives in fulfillment of Zechariah chapter 14?
It is pretty obvious that Jesus/Yahushua expects us to believe in the specific fulfillment of the words of the prophets.
"Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:" (Luke 24:25)
The Prophet Jeremiah stated clearly that David would be raised up for the Jews.
"But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them." (Jeremiah 30:9)
It is relevant that Jesus/Yahushua clearly identified John the Baptist as a modern Elijah for his time period.
"And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not,....
Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist." (Matthew 17:10-13)
Could a young, or perhaps not so young Jewish guy be the person who will be raised up for the nation of Israel as another King David much as John the Baptist was another Elijah?
Isaiah speaks about a King Cyrus type of person who was instrumental in assisting the Jewish people to rebuild the second temple to which Jesus/Yahushua came. King Cyrus was a Gentile or possibly a member of the lost tribes of Israel, and did not actually know the God of Abraham very well at all.
"Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call [thee] by thy name, [am] the God of Israel.
For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else, [there is] no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:" (Isaiah 45:1-5)
Although this King Cyrus person sounds somewhat like Jesus/Yahushua in some important ways the fact that it is mentioned that this person does not know God, proves to me that this is not Rabbi Jesus/Yahushua who in my opinion knew HaShem better than anybody else ever did.
Isaiah 66:5 ¶ Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed."A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies." (Isaiah 66:6)
This verse seems to indicate that when the Messiah comes to the earth, there is a functioning temple, I assume on the Temple Mount!? It seems that enemies, typified by the historical Antiochus, have gained control of the temple. In this thoroughly left wing earth this is not so hard to imagine. These enemies apparently cause the sacrifices to cease after being offered for 42 months and apparently kick the Levites off the Temple Mount when they cause the sacrifices to cease?!?!
"Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until [the time] come when ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord." (Luke 13:35)
Another valid possible way of looking at this verse, because scriptures seldom have one plain simple meaning that even a child could figure out, is that we Christians have a house that is pretty desolate and we may well not see the complete fulfillment of the Messianic kingdom until AFTER the Jewish people are offering sacrifices on their Temple Mount Complex.
I certainly am in no position to rule out a soon to be rapture that may even somehow fulfill Rosh ha Shanah or one of the other Jewish festivals but I tend to suspect from these verses that the full fledged Messianic kingdom may not be ushered in until we Christians admit that the prophet Ezekiel, came in the name of the Lord, and his words are inspired and blessed.
Sooner or later the Jewish people will fulfill each and every word given in Ezekiel chapters 40 to 48 regarding their Jerusalem Third or perhaps Fourth Temple Mount Complex.
I read My Descent Into Death by former atheist Howard Storm who died, went to hell, prayed and sang hymns while there, met Jesus/Yahushua, got saved, and was sent back to finish his lifetime. He studied and became a pastor. His idea of the kingdom of God being set up over two centuries would fit amazing well with the idea of the Jews building and finishing and offering sacrifices in a Jerusalem Temple Mount Complex previous to the time when the will of God is done fully on this earth!?
My point is that we had better be careful that we are NOT against the Jews in their efforts to rebuild their temple especially if we will not see the feet of Messiah on the Mt. of Olives, until after they fulfill many of the prophecies given to them. Actually, I will go further than this, I believe that Christians who believe in the inspiration of every word given through Ezekiel will assist the Jewish people in at least some capacity to accomplish the things that they must do, that we simply would have no clue how to accomplish!

"Son of David" is a Messianic title in fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy.
2 Samuel 7:12-16. NIV
12 When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will punish him with a rod wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands. 15 But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.’”

In Christ second coming he will come as a victor with great power. There is no need to repeat the Davidic prophecy.Yes...... the man similar to King David who will be raised up at this time.... will be be a modern David much as John the Baptist was somehow an "Elijah" and the modern David will........ consider Messiah Yeshua - Jesus to be his Lord!
That is a truly important point to make! Thank you! This means that the modern David will not think that he has to go through Psalm 22 again...... because it was done for him by Messiah the Passover Lamb.
In Christ second coming he will come as a victor with great power. There is no need to repeat the Davidic prophecy.
The Rabbi is mistaken. It is (Israel) who does not know God. Israel was surname by Yahwah.I totally agree...... but I take the wording on Moshiach ben Ephrayim or Messiah son of Joseph quite seriously in Orthodox and Chassidic Jewish prophecy quite seriously because it seems to me that Isaiah chapters 42 - 46 indicate the raising up of somebody who will assist the Jewish people to get their Jerusalem Third Temple built....... and according to an article by Rabbi Pinchas Winston on Moshiach ben Yossef / Ephrayim...... this person could appear to be merely a Gentile?????
Isaiah 45
Isaiah 45:4
4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
Isaiah 45:5
5 I am Jehovah, and there is none else; besides me there is no God. I will gird thee, though thou hast not known me;
are intriguing indeed!
How could this refer only to Messiah Yeshua - Jesus?????
He knew G-d better even than King Solomon did!
The Rabbi is mistaken. It is (Israel) who does not know God. Israel was surname by Yahwah.
Only in movies and the Bible........I have yet to see anyone raised after having been dead for thousands of years. At best you might be able to clone the person if you come across some of their DNA. I understand that it's supposed to be "supernatural" but I haven't seen it done supernaturally either nor have I come across any real evidence of such a thing having taken place in the past. It doesn't seem very probable at all.
