Should Christians support Rebuilding of Jerusalem Third Temple.

[Hethatreadethit]

I was introduced to this topic back in the 1970's by Evangelist Garner Ted Armstrong.

I didn't start to question it seriously again until the '90's and especially after the year 2000 and I admit..... I flipped flopped back and forth for a while because........ yes..... that Abomination that Makes Desolate...... is scary!

But in the year 40 C.E. when a Messianic Jew would be talking to a Rabbinic Jewish family member..... and they would read Isaiah 52 or 53.... many Rabbinic Jews would probably argue..... that those verses were some sort of metaphor.

Ezekiel chapter 47 does have a valid metaphorical meaning..... .the Holy Spirit must be poured out like a River through all Christians........ but the time when this will happen in such a big way that the nature of animals is positively altered...........
and the curses placed on Adam and Eve completely swallowed up by the Sacrifice of Messiah.......
will probably happen at the same time that there is some sort of literal river flowing from the literal Jerusalem Temple Mount.

At this time in my life I believe I have a duty to assist as best as I can to make this happen......
because the Jerusalem Third Temple sure seems to precede..... the utopian world where
nothing will hurt or destroy.


Ezekiel 47:1 (KJV)

Eze 47:1

¶
Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.

Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.

....

Eze 47:3

¶
And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.

Eze 47:4

Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.

Eze 47:5

Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.


......
Eze 47:8

Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.

I followed the Armstrongs for a while.

Concerning the waters coming out of the Altar, I find that very interesting and spent some time in the study thereof: Look over these scriptures and find their common points:

Isa 33:21 But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
Isa 33:22 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.

Psa 60:7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

Joe 3:18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]tim.

Jer 31:9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

Isa 2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

All who are partakers of the faith in Christ connect to this river.

Joh 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
Joh 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

BUT, the prophet JOEL says:

Joe 1:20 The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Good study, good night for now.

I wonder how these details will fit in?

"In a September 1935, article in the National Geographic magazine, L. Roberts recorded his interviews with various priests in different parts of Ethiopia who consistently told the same story. They recounted that the Queen of Sheba had visited King Solomon and had had "a child", Menelik I. Solomon educated the lad in Jerusalem until he was nineteen years old. The boy then returned to Ethiopia with a large group of Jews, taking with him the true Ark of the Covenant.....

"The Ethiopian official national epic known as the Glory of the Kings (Kebra-Nagasi) contains an amazing story which offers an explanation of what happened to the Ark of the Covenant. In addition, there are several Ethiopian murals which tell how the Ark and the Tablets of the Law were taken to Ethiopia for safekeeping by Prince Menelik I. ..... The Queen of Sheba, his mother, had died and the prince prepared to leave Jerusalem to return twenty-five hundred miles to his native country to become its king.

Prince Menelik bore an uncanny resemblance in beauty and regal bearing to his father. King Solomon wanted to give him a replica of the Ark to take with him to Ethiopia because the long distance would prevent him from ever again worshipping at the temple in Jerusalem.
However Prince Menelik was concerned with the growing apostasy of Israel and the fact that his father, Solomon was now allowing idols to be placed in the Temple to please his pagan wives. King Solomon gave the prince a going-away banquet and after the priests were filled with wine, Menelik and his loyal associates switched arks and left the replica in its place in the Holy of Holies.// (Grant Jeffrey, [page 115, Armageddon, Appointment with Destiny).

Hi Dennis:
I'm sorry if I seemed a little rude in my last post.

By the way, did I tell you I found Amelia Earhart's crash site in my backyard? There were a few plane parts, and then I found a bra strap hanging from a tree with her initials written on it, and then I knew it must be hers! Hahaha, just kidding.

Seriously, I believe the physical ark is a lost cause. A pearl of wisdom: if God puts His laws in your heart, then You have the Ark.

Get back with you latter.
Heth.

On the other hand a gifted pastor from Uganda has written an impressive article on a modern Christian political Cyrus that sure does seem to fit with Isaiah chapters 42 - 46.

RE: SHARING NEW DISCOVERIES OF THE TRUTH IN BIBLE PROPHECY CONCERNING THE IMMINENT HEALING AND UNITY OF THE CHURCH
I am mesmerized by the truth in bible prophecy that the Spirit of God has been revealing over the recent years. Secret things belong to God and those that are revealed belong to us and our children... (Deut 29: 29).

1. King Cyrus the great ruled his country 555 years Before Christ i.e. from 576 BC to 530 BC and authorised the rebuilding of the second temple in Jerusalem. Cyrus of the Old Testament is hence associated with the number 555 and is the shadow figure of incoming Cyrus II of the New Testament. You may learn more about his history from the internet and scriptures. This new truth enables us to identify the leadership of the world that will rebuild the temple in Jerusalem as prophesied in book of Isaiah before the rise of antichrist. Cyrus II is coming to revive the evangelical/Pentecostal church in Jerusalem and restore the headquarters of the church in same city where the church was born. He is set to strip Babylon of the vessels of the temple and the name of the Lord God and transfer that crown back to Jerusalem thus leaving Babylon naked. Cyrus will rebuild the temple in Jerusalem in fulfilment of the prophecy of Jesus as written in the book of John 2:18-23 and the prophecy of Isaiah as written in chapters 40, 41, 45 and 47 of the book of Isaiah. Jesus regarded the temple as the symbol of his own body while saying that he had the power to lay it down on the first day (1st millennium) and rebuild or raise it up on the 3rd day (3rd millennium). Remember that one day in the eyes of God is the same as one thousand years (millennium) as stated in book of 2 Peter 3:8. Rebuilding of the temple is thus associated with unification of the church.

Cyrus II will rebuild the temple in honour of our lord Jesus Christ. The temple will be the unifying (rallying) point of the world wide evangelical church as the original headquarters of the church. Psalms133 denotes that there is such a powerful anointing that comes along with unity among brethren. Unification of the whole body of Jesus Christ will make the church so powerful that she will overrun the world within a short time before the return of our lord Jesus Christ. A divided church is a powerless church whereas a united church is a powerful church. The church can only be able to fulfil her ultimate mission of revealing Jesus to the world once we get united as one body of Jesus Christ following his last prayer for his disciples as written in John 17:20-23.

Cyrus II will erase that false image of Jesus that the counterfeit and Idolatrous state church of Babylon has been projecting around the world and revive the original church that projects the true brilliant image of Jesus Christ. Haggai 2:9 says that the glory of the latter church (temple) will be greater than the glory of the former church (temple).The rise of Cyrus will also usher in the ultimate fulfilment of the prophecy of Joel 2:28 where God intends to pour out His Spirit on all flesh in these last days. The era of Cyrus brings the gentile period of grace to its close and leads to the restoration of the Jewish period of grace and salvation.

2. King Manasseh was the shadow figure (forerunner) of the antichrist in the Old Testament who ruled over Jerusalem exactly 666 years Before Christ i.e. from 697 BC to 642 BC. (2 chronicle 33: 1-2 and 2 kings 21: 1-17). Antichrist is associated with the number 666 as written in the book of Revelation 13:18. Manasseh was the most evil king to have ever ruled over the city of Jerusalem and kingdom of Judah.
Manasseh is reported to have killed so many innocent people in Jerusalem that the streets of Jerusalem were flowing with blood; he worshiped pagan idols and stars; he built pagan alters for idols and stars in the very courtyards of the temple; he sacrificed his sons to idols; he consulted diviners and mediums; he even set up an abominable pagan image at the temple that causes desolation just as the incoming antichrist will do. It was on that basis that God decided to have that first temple destroyed completely since Manasseh had desecrated it.

3. Prophet Jonah was the shadow figure (forerunner) of Jesus Christ in the Old Testament who undertook his prophetic ministry around 777 B.C. Prophet Jonah is hence associated with the number 777. He arose from the shadow and demise of Prophet Elisha. His preaching radiated such great power and authority that turned the city of Nineveh as the rising super power of that time up side down within 3 days only (read the book of Jonah). Jonah was the prophetic force behind the restoration of the lost territories of Israel in the reign of King Jeroboam II of Israel between 782 BC and 741 BC as written in II Kings 14:25. Jonah related with God more or less as his own father and God loved him more or less as His own son. He volunteered to die save occupants of the ship and was raised to life after three days just like Jesus Christ. Jesus compared himself with Jonah as his forerunner in the Old Testament as far as his earthly ministry, death and resurrection was concerned in Mathew 12; 38-41, Luke 11; 29-32. Jesus will also oversee the restoration of the lost territories of Israel just like prophet Jonah when he comes to rule as the king of kings and Lord of Lords. We can therefore correctly associate Jesus Christ with the number 777 just like Jonah as our commander-in-chief, Lord of the Sabbath and fountain of life.

The more we know where we came from the more we know where we are going. You are cordially invited to visit my face book home page for more information and messages. Feel free to share this truth with other brethren just as I received it free of charge from God.

I'm not looking for another Christ! I look to understand and do the will of Him who has called me to His Throne and to partake of His table.

But King David was an "anointed king" and the feeble Jews of the future are supposed to be like King David......... the least Christian of the future will be greater than John the Baptist....... so Messiah Yeshua - Jesus seems to be wanting to take each of his followers up to a pretty astounding level of wisdom, understanding, love and faith.

If you are in the faith of Christ, (not to question your Spirituality) you are being anointed because the anointing of the Spirit comes by hearing which comes with faith.

1Jn 2:24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
1Jn 2:25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
1Jn 2:26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Gal 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

The trumpet is sounding off, so do you hear it?

Well said...... I believe that the type of situations that
God is allowing to come upon us, (such as Hurricane Irma) is forcing
each of us to look at the level of faith that we have and wonder if there
is a way for us to rise up to a whole new level of spiritual authority over
disasters and threats?????

I have the impression that I need something to happen to me along the lines
of what happened to the amazingly humble Todd White:

 

[DennisTate]

Just as literal water will flow from the millennial Jerusalem Third Temple
as described in Ezekiel 47...... so also...... greater and great levels of the Holy Spirit should
flow out of each of us............. I know that I am still pretty dry...... and I know that
that is not God's fault....... .that is mine!

 

[DennisTate]

This is an unprecedented situation:

Sanhedrin to Trump-Putin: Fulfill Cyrus-like role in Jerusalem

Prof. Rabbi Hillel Weiss, spokesman for the Sanhedrin, said, "The political conditions today, in which the two most important national leaders in the world support the Jewish right to Jerusalem as their spiritual inheritance, is historically unprecedented.”

He said that the election of Donald Trump, who has promised to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, coupled with Putin’s expressed desire for the Temple's rebuilding, prompted the Sanhedrin to send a letter to both leaders. The letter proposes that they act jointly as did King Cyrus of Persia 2,500 years ago and show most practically that they recognize the importance of Israel and the Holy Temple.

I wouldn't wish for anything bad. I find the book of Joel really enlightening concerning the end times. The Holy days come into fulfillment and their purpose come to view:

Joe 2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

The gathering at this time will be to the revealing of light (new moon is a sliver of light), and this will bring hope once again to man:

Pro 10:28 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

This hope comes from the hearing of faith of Gods judgments:

Psa 97:8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.

This gladness comes from the hope in God's judgments concerning Christ:

Psa 119:43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.

The new moon is the beginning of God to manifest His righteousness in Christ

Hos 6:5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.

This will bring forth the day of gladness and the trumpets shall declare this day.

Num 10:10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.

The next sets of scriptures really bring this to light:

Rev 15:4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

Isa 26:8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
Isa 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

The grain, wine, and oil is God's goodness and God shall sow these in the earth:

Hos 2:22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.

There will be a time of affliction with God's people according to the Day of Atonement and whoso will not humble themselves will be destroyed:

Joe 2:12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
Joe 2:13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
Joe 2:14 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
Joe 2:15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:

Babylon will not humble herself:

Rev 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Rev 18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

Her humility God will force on her.

Then after the Day of Atonement the Earth shall give her increase which must occur before the Feast of tabernacles can be fulfilled:

Deu 16:13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:

This will come with praise for people will hear God and praise the Lord, yea they bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord and there will be great rejoicing:

Psa 67:5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
Psa 67:6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

Psa 138:4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

This praise shall be sufficient for those who gather to bring their increase to the great feast:

Joe 2:23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
Joe 2:24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.
Joe 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
Joe 2:26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
Joe 2:27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

Jer 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

It is all Spiritual, although these feast days that are coming are like dress rehearsal, I love this time of year.

Is Christianity relatively desolate due to our having forgotten the words of the Prophets?

Those who built the temple on the rock call it the Temple of Solomon. Herod built the second temple, and Jesus called it His Father's house. (shrug)

Jesus was a prophet, and many of His words are scribbled out.

 

[W2L]

Jesus is the temple.

 

[DennisTate]

Jesus is the temple.

True....... but as Ezekiel 47 is fulfilled literally........ each Christian will become more and more and more like our Messiah...... and higher and higher levels of living water will flow from us during the Millennium / Era of Messiah.

Actually.... King Herod added quite a bit to the Temple complex....... but apparently what he added is in danger of collapsing.

Is the Temple Mount in Danger of Collapse? | Israel Behind the News

Israel fears that Temple Mount retaining wall will collapse and that the region will burn. The problem: Aerial photographs of Temple Mount have proven that al-Aqsa Mosque’s southern wall is inclined to one side. The reasons: Wear-and-tear over time, ground shifting and renovations being carried out by Waqf. The proposal: Israel proposed to assist in renovating wall but Waqf has yet to respond. Waqf: “If wall collapses, there will be general war.” The municipality: “We are helpless.”

Should Christians support Rebuilding of Jerusalem Third Temple.

It is absolutely none of our business. Hasn't our Middle Eastern meddling had horrible enough consequences already?

Since Christ is the final sacrifice for sin in the New Covenant and the New Covenant has made the Old Covenant "obsolete" (Hebrews 8:13), I cannot understand why Christians would even consider such a thing.

Heb 10:16　 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;　

Heb 10:17　 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.　

Heb 10:18　 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.　


Based on Hebrews 12:18-24, we are not come to Mount Sinai, but to the New Covenant of Mount Zion.

God allowed the Romans to destroy the temple in 70 AD for a reason.

Why did God rip the temple veil in half on the day of Calvary?

Of course not. It goes against Christian basic teachings.

 

[SBC]

Should Christians support Rebuilding of Jerusalem Third Temple.

Support? How so? Agreement? Financially?

The building of the Third Temple, is already prepared;
...meaning architectural drawings, design, artworks, down to Rabbi's clothing.

Issues:

Many Jews have become secular, and are void of interest in rebuilding the Temple.

Where to build the Temple. This is an ongoing dilemma process.
...It should be situated on the same place, where the holy of holies sat of the first TWO Temples.
...Should it sit, where the Muslim Mosque Dome currently sits?
...IF that be so, How to gain that ground, without WAR.
...No one knows for sure, yet research appears to dictate....
...The First and Second Temples, actually sat to the north of the current Dome.
...That the Dome, is sitting, on the outer court, built by Solomon, for the Gentiles, who could not enter
......the Temple.
...If the Jews, come to an agreement, to build the Third Temple, north of the Dome, a resolution
.....could be accomplish, and construction commence. Currently, their research continues.

And what about the Third Temple?
Yes, I believe it WILL be built.
And yes, like the former TWO, it shall be desecrated, and destroyed.

When the Temple IS BUILT, it shall be a sign of the beginning of the Tribulation.
...The "Universal" ie World Leader over all Nations, shall be revealed, and established.
...Once his position is accepted and established...
.....He will put himself in the Temple, claiming it as His Throne, and himself, as god.
.....Who shall believe and worship him?
.....Those who submit to him, by and through their own self- glory, ignorance and desperation.

So, it is a matter of, does one want to rush in the future, or let it play out according to Gods design.
And so to, Gods design involves what individuals choose to do. Some will participate in support of the Third Temple, some won't.

And the bottom line is ~
Christ's Kingdom on earth, shall NOT be built with men's hands, nor shall He sit in a desecrated Throne.

God Bless,
