What are you speaking about? I never even touched on the subject of God's promises to Abraham.So, you are preaching the same as Judaism here? They believed the promises made to our father Abraham were for them only. Is that what you are saying here?
It is all about Gods faithfulness to perform the promises made in covenant with Abraham.And from whom I was born (spiritually)? Church, she who by nationality?
There is a beautiful biblical image of the Church - Esther, who became the wife of a non-Jewish king, but then she discovered her true nationality to the king and and then she saved the Jews.
I feel like a Jew, the teaching of Jesus Christ made me a Jew: I'm looking for the Kingdom of God.
I am speaking about the scriptural concept of inheritance....It is full of the notion. The concept of covenants and promises etc.What are you speaking about? I never even touched on the subject of God's promises to Abraham.
Do I have to explain all the Scriptures? I have enough of what I have been doing so far: the prophecies of Ezekiel about the Third Temple and the related issues (the interpretation of Revelation, the problem of restoring the lost tribes of Israel, the Old Testament pointers to the exact date of the birth of Jesus Christ, the explanation of the numerical prophecies of the Bible). Or do you think that I should explain the whole Scripture? I'm not the Lord God.I am speaking about the scriptural concept of inheritance....It is full of the notion. The concept of covenants and promises etc.
Heb 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
If not those concepts I have not a clue where your notions of scripture are coming from.
Do you really think that on that day before the apostle Peter there was a crowd that was "all the house of Israel"? Or the conversion of the apostle Peter recorded in the Bible goes beyond the spatial and temporal limits of the crowd that was before him at that moment in time?
Representatives of the tribe of Judah and the allied tribes of Israel are Israelis. Equally, the representatives of Ephraim and the allied tribes of Israel are Israelis. Therefore, with the help of the Third Temple, there will be a combination of heavenly and earthly: messengers of Messiah Yeshua and present-day Jews.Maybe you missed the fact that Peter also addressed those present as "men of Israel".

If you adhere to a different point of view - this is your right. We will build the Third Temple without you: a relatively small number of Christians and Messianic Jews are sufficient for the construction of Ezekiel's Temple.

Does it surprise you that the Lord God can be in different places at the same time? Nevertheless, this is so.For some strange reason you are ignoring what Peter said in 1 Peter 2:4-10, about the true temple of God.
If a Jew stays in Jesus Christ, then he does not sin. Therefore, such a Jew will not need sacrifice for sin, in the Temple he will eat the meat of peaceful sacrifices.You are also ignoring what the author of the Book of Hebrews said about the fulfillment of the New Covenant and the end of sacrifices in Hebrews 10:16-18.
On the contrary, it is only after the construction of the Third Temple, in accordance with the prophesy of Ezekiel, for all Jews, is opened the opportunity for their selfless service to God in the city of Yahweh Shamah. This city is the earthly embodiment of Heavenly Jerusalem, which is mentioned in the 12th chapter of the Epistle to the Hebrews.You are trying to go back to the mountain that burns with fire in Hebrews 12:18-24, instead of embracing the New Covenant fulfilled by the blood of Christ at Calvary.
The Prayer of TobitFor the curious: please read the book of Tobit, this is a parable.
You have totalitarian thinking. I'm not forcing you to build the Temple: The temple will be built by those who want to fulfill the prophecy of Ezekiel. The prophet Isaiah wrote that the lion of Judaism will eat the straw of religion, and next to this lion there will be a child (City of Saints), near the lair of the serpent (wisdom). You want to forcibly drag the Jews into the order of the Christian denomination, which is just as far from what was between Jesus and His disciples, as modern Judaism is far from what God commanded them through Moses.You and others may put together a building, but it will not be the temple of God.
The possibility of sacrificing for sin is left for those who need it.
The continuing existence of the 10 Northern tribes is sure. The Jews knew about them; John 7:35, Josephus knew where they were, Rabbis in the Middle ages discussed the issue of when they would rejoin and Jews today know they just represent the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin. But the clincher is: God knows them all. Amos 9:9Do you think that the apostle James knew nothing about the lost tribes of the Northern Kingdom, and he knew nothing of Isaiah's prophecy about the return of the lost tribes?
You are so persistent. Do you think you have the right to arrange an exam for me? However, I am not your student. I told what I learned. Whether you understand this or not understood is your problem.What part of "It is finished." from John 19:30, do you not understand?
Your overpromoted, over colored, and opinionated posts, are just ignored by me and I would think most others here.What part of "It is finished." from John 19:30, do you not understand?
I do not know anything about the star of Remphan.But it will NOT have the star of Rempham on its roof!
Can you tell me a reliable source where the star of Remphan is shown?
Unfortunately, the Acts does not describe the shape of this star. The article about Remphan in Wikipedia also does not indicate the number of rays in the star of this idol. I can not trust the numerous anti-Semitic speculations that equate the form of "Magen David" to the form of the star of the Ancient Egyptian idol.Is St. Stephen Reliable enough for you?
Remphan. Remphan (hrem-'fan) was an ancient Egyptian deity worshiped through its idol. St. Stephen mentions Remphan as "the star of your god whose images you made to worship" in Acts 7:43
I'd think long and hard about affixing it to your superman fantasy temple if I were you.
But it will NOT have the star of Rempham on its roof!
The researcher of Jewish symbols Uri Ophir quotes Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, who in the response of Igroth Moshe (section Orach Chaim 3:15) indicates that the origins of the Star of David as a Jewish symbol are unknown.
Nevertheless, Ophir himself puts forward the version that the origin of the Star of David is associated with the temple menorah. Under each of her seven lamps there was a flower: "And make a lamp of pure gold; minted and made a lamp; his hip and his stem, his cups, his ovaries and his flowers should be from him "(Exodus 25:31). Uri Ophir believes that it was a white lily flower, which in form resembles Magen David. In support of this theory, he cites the ancient translation of the Bible of Onkelos into Aramaic, where the word פרח (flower) is translated as "lily". Ophir refers to the rabbi Abraham ibn Ezra (1093-1167), who in his commentary on the Song of Songs writes that in this work the fragrant lily with its six petals (lily, Hebrew שו имеет, has the same root as the number 6 - Hebrew שש) symbolizes the Jewish people :
"I am Sharon's daffodil, the lily of the valleys! As between the thorns of the lily, so is my friend between the virgins.
(Song 2: 1-2)
"
Professor Yehuda Felix in the book "Nature and Earth Israel in the Bible" identifies the biblical lily with a white lily (Lilium candidum) - the only kind of lilies growing in these places in the wild. The petals of the white lily, as Ophir shows, are symmetrically arranged and in the expanded form form a regular six-pointed star, now known as the Star of David. The lamp was located in the center of the flower, so that the priest lit the fire as if in the center of a six-pointed star. Ophir also gives another proof of his correctness. In the third book of Kings it is told about how King Solomon ordered to put on two sides of the entrance to the Temple two huge copper columns, about 9 meters high. These columns were called Yakhin and Boaz. In the upper part of them there was a crown about two meters in diameter in the form of a lily: "And in the vestibule the crowns on the top of the pillars are made [like a lily] ... And he set the pillars to the porch of the temple; put the pillar on the right side and gave it the name of Jachin, and put the pillar on the left side and gave it the name of Boaz. And over the pillars he set [wreaths] made [like] lilies ... "(3 Samuel 7: 19-22). Ophir connects this mention with the version that in the menorah the cups had the shape of lilies, referring to the text of Maimonides (Laws of the Temple, 3: 3): "flowers [in the menorah] are the same as flowers on columns"
