The thread title:

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?

I have to admit.......
that there is a huge amount of truth in your assertion. I am a Christian who has no desire to participate in even one Levitical ritual........ because at this time in my life i would have zero understanding of what to do or how to do it. I think I might be able to walk up to a modern Levite though and pass them a cage with a dove in it.................. or lead a lamb to him......... or a kid of the goats......... I might be able to handle something that simple.

Lots of Messianic Gentiles in the first century, before the time of the Bar Kochba revolt did this much........ and the effort was noticed by the Levites who began to study about Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus as a result.


Act 6:7

And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

Although I am relatively ignorant of most aspects of this question I would urge anybody with connections to Israel to encourage people to study the Gihon Spring location.

I lean toward the likelihood, the Dome currently occupies the land of the outer court of Solomon's Temple, thus the Dome does NOT occupy the land where the Temple was situated.

There are several news articles if you care to look on the web for Third Temple Jerusalem.

Also there is the templeinstitute.org with much information.

Your political proposal regarding redirecting water is quite interesting, thanks for sharing.

God Bless,

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.

You sure about that?

Joh 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
Joh 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
Joh 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
I recently watched a profoundly encouraging video that put a rather new light on the book of Joel.


I can't relate.

I have wondered if those verses are in line with.......

Jeremiah 31:34

"And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."

Joel 2:28

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

Sorry, I have taken so long to reply, I wasn't feeling to good for about a week.

The knowledge of the Lord will fill the Earth. The drink offering (spiritually) will be fulfilled. As Paul considered himself being poured out as a drink offering by his speaking the truth, this will eventually be fulfilled as is brought up in Jer. 31. Interesting that the Ezekiel Temple daily sacrifice mentions no drink Offering:

Eze 46:13 Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the LORD of a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning.
Eze 46:14 And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual ordinance unto the LORD.
Eze 46:15 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat offering, and the oil, every morning for a continual burnt offering.

Now compare to this offering as commanded in Exodus 29:

Exo 29:38 Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.
Exo 29:39 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:
Exo 29:40 And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering.
Exo 29:41 And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Exo 29:42 This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee.
Exo 29:43 And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory.

No mention of the evening offering or the drink offering in the Ezekiel temple. The Ezekiel temple is the heavenly temple, which is the MORNING. Notice (pay special attention cause I'm showing you a great pearl) that in Exodus 29:41 that the pattern of the evening is to be done like the Morning. This caught my eye once as i was reading a Rashi Commentary, and it sparked in my mind that this is where a part of the Lord's prayer Christ spoke when He said: thy will, as it is done in heaven so it shall be done on Earth. The evening offering symbolizes the earthly, the morning is the heavenly.

The daily sacrifice foreshadowed the eternal sacrifice of Praise, and the continual doing of God's will (truth) forever. His will is according to the grain and drink offering, and of course, eventually, there will be no need to teach it. Joel warns that the grain and drink offering would be cut off from the house of the Lord:

Joe 1:8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
Joe 1:9 The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD'S ministers, mourn.

The grain and drink offering are made of God's goodness, the grain, wine, and oil, and Paul warned in Romans that if they did not continue in God's goodness that they would be cut off:

Rom 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

Rom 15:14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

Jer 31:12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.

Lots to think about for starters:

The Daily Sacrifice offered burnt offerings upon the altar, and God manifest His true will concerning these offerings:

Hos 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

God has revealed to me that the Earth is His Altar. Man is Earth in the small sense, and mankind in the large. The Earth is an Altar and upon the Earth is to be done there as it is in heaven:

Exo 20:24 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.

Therefore, His will, it shall be done on Earth as it is done in Heaven for God is going to provide sufficient knowledge:

Hab 2:14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

Next, I would like to reveal some things concerning the Altar, but I don't have the time now, but I
(God willing) will get back with you.
Blessings:
Clint

The Altar is where the pleasure of the Lord is presented, and the Earth is to be that location, for His will is to be performed here on Earth as it is in Heaven. The Altar must have a fire burning in it:

Lev 6:12 And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.
Lev 6:13 The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.

The fire transforms offerings, provides light, and was commanded to be rekindled every morning. What spiritually could perform this role of God's will? The answer; the Spirit of Judgment:

Isa 4:4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

Zep 3:5 The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.

The judgment light burns continually and provides light unto those who walk in the truth!

Zec 8:16 These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:

Peace and truth go hand in hand and are inseparable. The daily sacrifice under the laws given to Moses foreshadowed the operation of the truth performed by the Christ. The abomination of desolation spoken by the prophet Daniel mentions that the TRUTH WOULD BE CAST DOWN:

Dan 8:12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

How could the truth be cast down and how does man become a part of the truth?

2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

2Th 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

This scripture confirms that the daily sacrifice was the location of where the truth was being performed up to God. This is a very important understanding. The burnt/truth offering and the peace offering had their fat(abundance) burned(revealed) here:

Jer 33:6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.

Christ came to execute the revealing power by giving the Spirit of judgment:

Joh 5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
Joh 5:27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

Joh 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

The judgment fire is commanded to be forever burning in the Altar:

Isa 42:3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
Isa 42:4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

Isa 33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

And who are those who will dwell with the devouring fire but those who stand with Christ having suffered with him: They are the upright, purged by fire, the gold:

Psa 1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
Psa 1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Dan 7:22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

It was the judgment light that drew about the persecutions and afflictions from the ungodly:

2Th 1:4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
2Th 1:5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
2Th 1:6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

1Pe 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
1Pe 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
1Pe 4:14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
1Pe 4:15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
1Pe 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
1Pe 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
1Pe 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
1Pe 4:19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Lots to think about, look closely, very spiritual.

Heb 6:2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

John 2:18 So the Jews said to him, “What sign do you show us for doing these things?” 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 was speaking about 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 that Jesus had spoken.

As Christ was killed and resurrected in three days, His body, the church would be destroyed and raised in 3 millennial days:

Hos 6:2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

I could be wrong....... but I have wondered if the three days plus three nights could indicate that the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven could occur around the year 3030 C. E?

Could the Ezekiel chapter 40 - 48 Jerusalem Temple Mount complex be built around 1000 years before this?

Yes... the Ezekiel Temple complex will be the New Jerusalem for one thousand years.......
but I do believe that something much grander will come down somehow around the year 3030, (three days from the death, burial and resurrection of Messiah Yeshua - Jesus - Issa).......

I don't put to much stock in time theories but there maybe something to your insight. The sabbath will bring a fulfillment to time, and I believe the 8th day will have a spiritual fulfillment, the spiritual fulfillment to circumcision when all flesh will be cut off and everything returns to God which will fulfill the Jubilee as well.

Hi Dennis:
I am familiar with the 6 mil. days in the bible, and we all want to be at the right place at the right time, so we search prophysies and look for understanding to lead us in the way.

The time of the end spoken of by Daniel brings us at a desolation taking place as referred to by Christ:

Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand

Understand indeed, why? because this goes beyond external or empirical observation. Christ was not talking about an event taking place in the Jewish temple, but rather the abomination involving the TRUTH concerning himself:


Dan 8:12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

The truth through Christ is a Spiritual operation that is eternal and is the basis for performing the will of God. "Thy will shall be done on Earth as is done in Heaven." The sacrifice is the elimination of any other will contrary to God's. Example:


Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

This initiates by the establishment of faith which comes by the hearing of God's Word.
Paul said the time was coming when man would remove his ears from the truth:

2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

The bible speaks plainly that a falling away was coming:

2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

For an offering to be offered, there has to be a fire (light):

Psa 43:3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
Psa 43:4 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.

Christ gave reference to the above Psalm scriptures:

Joh 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Joh 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

This bringing forth of the light is the execution of judgment for which is the manifestation of truth, that is; the things that make up the will of God:

Joh 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

Zec 8:16 These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:

That is what Christ came to do:

Joh 5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
Joh 5:27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

I know this is very spiritual and deep, and I try to write this as plain as possible:

Hab 2:2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
Hab 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Was this Habakkuk writing to what Christ spoke concerning this:

Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

Enough for now, God bless you, hope to get back with you.
Clint
