Below is an article from the Temple Institute website about the soon coming Temple in Jerusalem. "IF YOU BUILD IT, HE WILL COME"

I urge you to take a look at this website via the link - http://www.templeins....org/events.htm

I would like to start a discussion about this event as well as related scriptures such as Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy.

In addition I will be posting a link about The Jerusalem Covenant, which I believe is the "Covenant" that the Antichrist "confirms" that will give the Jews the authority to build this Temple.

I find it interesting that in an interview, Rabbi Chaim Richman stated when asked the question about how long it would take to rebuild this Temple, he stated with today's technology it would take less than 3 1/2 years!




Of all the issues we confront today, there is only one which holds the key. The key to peace, prosperity, security, and fulfillment - the rebuilding of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, the place that G-d has chosen.
What is holding back the people of Israel from rebuilding the Temple today? How close are we? How will the nations of the world be affected? Are the obstacles really that insurmountable... or could we overcome them if we only try? Are we waiting for G-d to step in and perform a miracle... or is He waiting for us to take the initiative? How can this dream become a reality in our life time? What is the relationship between the promise of the Holy Temple, and major issues such as the peace process, Palestinian terror, America's relationship with Israel and the Iranian nuclear threat? If you build it, he will come. With G-d's help Rabbi Richman will be visiting the United States this coming June to share the Torah's message of the immediate rebuilding of the Holy Temple, the source of blessing for the whole world.


Bless you, JLB

Here is a link to Jerusalem Covenant - http://christianactionforisrael.org/covenant.html


Jerusalem - The historic Covenant of Jerusalem was presented to the Israeli government on Wednesday, May 19, 1993.
It marked the conclusion of a year of celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Holy City's reunification, which reaffirmed the indelible bond between the Jewish people and its eternal spiritual and cultural capital.
On May 31, 1992 a proclamation, under the signatures of Deputy Minister Avraham Verdiger, Mayor Teddy Kollek and Jewish Agency Chairman Simcha Dinitz, was sent to Jewish communities around the world, inviting them to share in this moment of history with Jerusalem.
Ministry Director-General Yeshayahu Barzel said the year-long celebration had three goals. First, to strengthen the feeling that the entire Jewish people stand united with Israel on the indivisibility of Jerusalem; second, to impart to all Jews - especially those in the former Soviet Union who have been cut off from world Jewry for four generations - a feeling of unity; and third, to remind the non-Jewish world that the entire Jewish people are unified on the emotional and religious significance Jerusalem has for Jews everywhere.
Although there has been considerable opposition from those who want Jerusalem to be an "international city," the covenant of Jerusalem was inspired by the covenant renewal ceremony convened by Ezra and Nehemiah for the Israelites who returned to their homeland from Babylon.
According to David A. Gross's article in Israel Magazine, the Covenant has seven paragraphs, as Jerusalem has seven gates from Ezra's day. Even today, there are seven open gates to the Old City: Jaffa Gate, New Gate, Damascus Gate, Herod's Gate, Lion's Gate, Dung Gate and Zion Gate.
There's a legend which says Jerusalem will have seven gates in the days to come and shine "from one end of the world to the other."
Prepared by Justice Menahem Elon, Deputy President of the Supreme Court Vice, and with input from a wide range of writers, historians and archaeologists, the Covenant, in the form of a scroll written on parchment, was signed by President Chaim Herzog on May 31, 1992.
Besides Herzog, the original scroll was also signed by a lengthy list of dignitaries and national leaders.
Two parchment scrolls of the Covenant were sent to authorities in Israel from Metulla in the north to Eilat in the south and there were signing ceremonies throughout the world, similar to the main signing ceremony in Jerusalem.

JLB,
So, why is it necessary to rebuild the temple? The Temple only had one purpose and that was to accompolish the Sacrificial Law, but since Christ was the attoning sacrifice there is no need to rebuild the temple. If the temple were to be rebuilt the Dom of the Rock would have to be demolished, which would cause world war III and it would be Asia against the rest of the world. How unintelegent is that? Do you actually want war?

Hi Brother,

I titled this thread after the article name on the website - http://www.templeins....org/events.htm

In addition, I pasted another link to the Jerusalem Covenant - http://christianacti...g/covenant.html

Which I stated in my original post, to inform people like yourself, of current events that are happening right now that are a fulfillment of Bible prophecy pertaining to the last days.

The rebuilding of the temple is necessary for the fulfillment of Jesus' words to His disciples about Daniel's seventieth week as well as 2 Thessalonians 2:1-10.

Again, I did not write the bible, I am however trying to inform the brethren of events that are coming to pass.

I would encourage you to read the links that I have provided and discuss them as well as pray about them, your family and friends life may depend on you.

1 Timothy 5:8 says -

But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

That word provide means to prepare in advance!


4306 // pronoew // pronoeo // pron-o-eh'-o //

from 4253 and 3539 ; TDNT - 4:1009,636; v

AV - provide for 2, provide 1; 3

1) to perceive before, foresee
2) to provide, think of beforehand
2a) to provide for one
2b) to take thought for, care for a thing




Remember the words of Gabriel the Archangel sent by God to Daniel -

20 Now while I was speaking, praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God, 21 yes, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, reached me about the time of the evening offering. 22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, "O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to understand. 23 At the beginning of your supplications the command went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved; therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision:

24 "Seventy weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city, To finish the transgression...

To finish the transgression!

I would say that rebuilding the temple for the purpose of animal sacrifices AFTER the Messiah has already come as the final sacrifice for sins, would certainly qualify as transgression.



Thanks and God bless, JLB

JLB,
The problem is that the 70 weeks expired while the Savior was here as they started in the time of Daniel and were continous from that time forward. He was the one who started the 70th week with His ministry and at the middle of the week of years He died for us and the end of the week of years was the stonning of Stephen. The transgretion of animal sacrifice was from the time the Vail was torn to 70 Ad when the temple was destroyed. It matters not what people say as I only go by the Book and it is clear to me and anyone else who reads it without preconceived notions.

Well which is it? Did the 70th week expire while the Savior was here or did it end with the stoning of Stephen?


You also said -

The Book says - Daniel 9:26-27


26 "And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolation's are determined.

27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate."



after the 69 weeks (7 and 62) two things happened 1) Messiah shall be cut off 2) The city and sanctuary will be destroyed.

THEN he shall confirm a covenant with many for week.

Clearly the 70th week is after the city and sanctuary are destroyed.


Based on what you would have me believe, Jesus made a 7 year covenant with us which is now over!


Do you really believe Jesus made a 7 year covenant, that is now over?


Thanks, JLB
