Would the rebuilding of the Jerusalem Third Temple stabilize the climate???

[FredVB]

There is no good basis to go back to sacrifice animals in light of Jesus accomplishing what was needed for us on the cross, in fact, with that, no animal ever has to die for us, and we would be better off without animals dying for us. But under Israel, apart from being in Christ, another temple would be built and sacrificing animals would start again. Yet when Jesus is here again and reigning, from Jerusalem, the sacrifices will be stopped, and under his reign, animals dying for us will be stopped, and we won't have animals dying for us. But we could learn we don't need such now, with really desiring God's will here in our world as it is in God's Heaven.

How could Messiah Yeshua - Jesus stop the sacrifices in the rebuilt Jerusalsem Third Temple after saying.......

Luke 24:25

"Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:"

How could Messiah, Jesus, stop the killing of animals? He will really reign, how would he not be able to stop it? And prophecies support this being seen. Starting with Jeremiah 31:31-33, the new covenant is promised, which is of the blood of Jesus, which he said himself, which also in Hebrews 8 and Hebrews 9 shows is the one effective way for atonement with sacrifice, the priesthood, and the way to make clean in the needed way. Animals don't need to die for any of us. Animals didn't die for any at the beginning, in the perfect design, the early believers understood this and many refrained from using animal products, there would be return to that perfect design, with the redeemed involved. The blood of animals does not please God, this is said among the prophets. Yahweh God cares even, as would show from Proverbs 12:10. The compassionate Lord Jesus who is coming to reign, fulfilling prophetic scriptures, will have prophecy shown in Isaiah 11:6-9 and Isaiah 65:25 again fulfilled, there won't be the killing anymore. But we who are real believers could well desire God's will in our world as it is in God's Heaven, if we do it would start in our lives. Killing animals is not for betterment in anything and we can be much better without it. When sacrificing animals will resume, it will be without understanding any of these things, and it will need to be stopped.

We humans collectively are taking away the natural environments with vegetation that this world needs to stablize climates.
Brut nature
Hopefully Facebook can be accessed to view that. If humans were gone the world would recover. It won't just happen that way, though. We have yet other ways we can live that will stop contribution to worsening conditions in the world from us, growing things and not using resources that we can learn to do without will be important in that.

I have heard different things about what happens in the near death experiences that we hear accounts of, I will reserve judgment of those. The Bible has still the abundant evidences, and I still trust the things shown from it.

In case you have not seen this, it seens like I will not have to yet wait for judgment of those experiences. The Bible accounts should still be trusted.

I would like to see the temple rebuilt and believe it would have some relevance to Christianity since it would be another "house of God". I however would be opposed to the continuation of animal sacrifices as I believe that is not necessary anymore, but as a gentile, I cannot speak to that. I would happily offer incense to God in the temple though!

However, this whole talk of the temple somehow stabilizing the Earth's environmental climate is silly. The temple may help smooth the political climate somewhat (if it is not built over the Dome of the Rock), but there is no guarantee it would.

What I am wondering about though......
is this the only way to get Ezekiel chapter 47 fulfilled.......
and the world sure does need living waters flowing from Jerusalem?

Whether we like it, as we may, or not, the temple in prophecy would be rebuilt when Yahweh knows it will be. Yet the actual Temple is what the temple that would be in this world is reflecting with modeling it, it is everlasting, in Heaven. Jesus, the Lamb of God, offered his blood to that temple when he suffered and died in the crucifixion.

Animal sacrifices won't be needed. Yahweh's purpose for what we should come to is like the perfection that was made for us in the beginning, shown in Genesis, and there will be no hurt or harm to any (Isaiah 11:9). There will be abundantly pleasant food from vegetation, and we who will come to that will find it is really enough for us.

It wouldn't be up to us to have prophecy be fulfilled, it will be. The vision of the temple to be built in Ezekiel was not all prophecy. It was the temple that should have been built when the people of Israel returned to the land after that. It could still be built. But it is too late to have that temple built for making the sacrifices, that was for it if it was built when they should have built it, before Jesus came and the essential sacrifice was accomplished. Jews will have sacrificing started again, but Jesus will come and be reigning, and he will put a stop to those unnecessary sacrifices, they are abominable to Yahweh when it they are not according to Yahweh's will.

Actually..... read the book of Haggai and tell me that one again!

The power in our freedom to make choices...... and emphasize one project or another...... gives us greater influence over the future than we tend to imagine.


Hag 1:2

Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD'S house should be built.

Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD'S house should be built.

Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?

We do have choices. Yahweh knowing everything will give prophecy in revelation correctly with knowing our choices, which is not the same as choosing for us.

But as I said, this in Ezekiel was not all prophecy. They should have built this, starting it when they were told to start building. Then there were things prophesied that would happen. That still waits though.

The Jews would start sacrifices still. But this would be an offense to Yahweh. Jesus while reigning would have it stop.

There is a lot of evidence that the First Century Messianic Jewish community were not offended by the sacrifices that many of them assisted in before 70 C.E. when the Second Temple was destroyed.

The early Jewish Christians continued to participate in the sacrifices indeed!

In my opinion this is probably one of the most important aspects of this entire question.

The probable reasoning as to why Messiah Yeshua - Jesus would bother to chase the money changers out of the temple area are important also.


Psalms 69:9

For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me."


John 2:13

¶
And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables

And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

There is a lot of evidence that many of the earliest believers, of the first century messianic community, were not even using food from animals, including various of the apostles. If they did not make issue with unbelieving Jews' way of worship, it was not that they had authority among all Jews, and they were more involved in their own community, and knew those ways of the old covenant were over, that those would not be continuing.

I thought still that I could post some of the things showing this about early believers, with links to sites for that, though with really searching about this certainly more would be found.

Christians Practice Vegetarianism

Christian scholars have concluded vegetarianism to be the more consistent with respect to the spirit of Christ's teachings. There are the Ebionites, Athanasius, and Arius, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Tertullian, Heronymus, Boniface, St. Jerome, and John Chrysostom. Clement wrote, "It is far better to be happy than to have your bodies act as graveyards for animals. The Apostle Matthew partook of seeds, nuts and vegetables, without flesh". Of the earliest Christian documents is, Clementine Homiles', a second-century work based on the teachings of St. Peter.

Clement of Alexandria (The Instructor, book 2, chapter 1., Peter said, "I live on olives and bread to which I rarely only add vegetables." Pseudo-y Homilies 12,6; also Recognitions 7,6.
Homily XII states, "The unnatural eating of flesh meats is as polluting as the heathen worship of devils, with its sacrifices and its impure feasts, through participation in it a man becomes a fellow eater with devils".

Many monasteries in ancient times practiced vegetarianism.

Clement of Alexandria: Sacrifices were invented by men to be a pretext for eating flesh.

James, the brother of the Lord was holy from his mothers womb; and he drank no wine nor strong drink, nor did he eat flesh. Hegesippus, quoted in The Church History of Eusebius, book 2, chapter 23.

Seneca was a vegetarian but quit as he did not want to be identified as a Christian.

<<"Certain foreign religions (Christianity) became the object of the imperial suspicion and amongst the proofs of adherence to the foreign culture or superstition was that of abstinence from the flesh of animals. At the earnest entreaty of my father, therefore I was induced to return to my former dietetic habits.">>

Interesting...........
I don't think that this rules out the Jews having sacrifices though..... because Jews do not have to do exactly all that Christians decide on.....

 

[Meowzltov]

This entire question shows a misunderstanding of Jewish law. I wish Christians would spend a little time actually studying Judaism in order to understand the Bible better.

This is not the first time in history that there has been no temple. Remember that when Judah was conquered and carried off into Babylon, the first temple was destroyed. Yet Daniel and others were still able to keep God's laws in captivity. How? It's because Hosea the prophet said, "The words of our lips (prayers) shall be as calves (sacrifices)." Hosea 14:2

The daily prayers of Jews are given the same names as the temple sacrifices. In fact, the reason Daniel prayed three times each day is because there were three sacrifices.

SOOOOO..... it is not necessary for the Temple to be rebuilt for Jews to keep the covenant.

Does that mean the temple won't be rebuilt? We are still instructed to build a house of worship in Jerusalem if we can. Right now there are obstacles in the way. When a way is found around those obstacles, the third temple will be built. Some say that building the third temple is the way to invite the coming of the messiah. Others say that the temple will not be built until the messiah comes. But one way or the other...

But many Jewish scholars do see a connection between the rebuilding of the Third Temple and a massive transformation in the atmosphere of Israel.

Will the Next Temple Coin Feature Putin Alongside Trump and Cyrus?

“The Temple, as a house of prayer for all nations, is the source of true peace,” Rabbi Hillel Weiss, spokesman for the nascent Sanhedrin, a biblically mandated court of 71 elders, told Breaking Israel News. “It has been presented in the media as a ‘flashpoint’, the focus of conflict. That is the opposite of the truth and has actually made this lie into a reality.”

Ezekiel 47:1 (KJV)

Ezekiel 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.

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.

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 47:8

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.

If you read about the Dr. Masaru Emoto research this may make more sense to you.
