THE TEMPLE AND ANIMAL SACRIFICES TO COME ???

Temple

MOVEMENT

Today


by  Randall Price—— ANSWERED BY KEITH HUNT


In reciting their thrice-daily prayers, observant Jews around the world turn in the direction of the site of the former Temple in Holy Jerusalem. However, according to a recent survey of Israel's public, 43 percent of secular Israelis and 92 percent of religious Jews (an average of 52 percent of the entire Jewish public) support Jews being allowed to physically pray at the Temple Mount.


The 1,300-year-long Muslim occupation of the site, as well as their political clout, makes the realization of this goal problematic. It has caused the Israeli government to support their unwavering prohibition of any non-Islamic act of worship (prayer, Torah reading, even carrying a Bible or ancient Temple drawings) on the Temple Mount. Countless riots, skirmishes, and even war have erupted here over alleged Jewish attempts to exercise their religious claims to the site. (The second Intifada, known as the Al-Aqsa Intifada after the Islamic name for the sacred site, claimed its rise from Ariel Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount in September 2000.)


At the center of the Jewish call to reclaim the Temple Mount is the Temple Movement, birthed in Israel as a result of Israel's 1967 conquest of eastern Jerusalem that made possible Jewish access to the Temple Mount for the first time in almost 2,000 years. Because one-third of the 613 commandments were unable to be fulfilled due to the absence of a Temple, the rabbis that participated in the Temple Mount's deliverance in the Six Day War believed it was time to reverse this situation. Many of the early efforts of these rabbis were in education, but after the first Palestinian Intifada in 1987, the rabbis who advocated a return to the Temple Mount were galvanized into organizations to prepare recovery of the site from Muslim occupation in order to rebuild a Third Temple.


Over the next two decades these disassociated groups of Orthodox Jews developed competing research and activist organizations that promoted social awareness of the need for a Temple and appealed to the government to end the ban on Jewish prayers on the Temple Mount. The two most vocal and conspicuous organizations have been the Temple Institute, founded by Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, a member of the Israeli Paratroop Brigade during the Six-Day War and one of the first to reach the Western Wall, which is dedicated to preparing the ritual vessels for the Temple service; and the Temple Mount Faithful, headed by Gershon Salomon, whose unit in the war also reached the Temple Mount, that has sought to reverse the political prohibitions against Jewish worship at the site and prepare for the rebuilding of the Temple. Today there has been a significant proliferation of new organizations, and no less than ten of the former established organizations share an active central administration.


Once consigned to extremist fringes by the government and the media, the Movement is now endorsed by many Orthodox rabbis who have withdrawn their ban on visiting the Temple Mount, and joined by a growing number of moderate rabbis, who regularly visit the site themselves. Even the Education Ministry has taken sides by encouraging pupils to visit the Temple Mount.


The Movement is also supported by those in the Israeli government in recent years. In 2012 Vice Prime Minister Silvan Shalom was a guest of honor at the annual Temple Mount Conference sponsored by Temple Movement organizations, and many Knesset members have visited the site with others even participating in public demonstrations with the Temple Movement. Moreover, Knesset Members Aryeh Eldad (National Union) and Ze'evElkin (Likud) tabled a bill calling for a change in the legal status of the Temple Mount. The status quo agreement established in 1967 called for the site to be under Israeli sovereignty but administered by the Islamic Waqf and that non-Muslims had no rights or access to the site for religious purposes. The Waqf violated the status quo from 2000-2003 by forbidding Jews to enter the site for any reason, resulting in a closure of the Temple Mount to all persons, including government officials. This bill would make it possible for Israel to exercise real sovereignty and permit the prayers of all people at the site. 


The government support is interesting in light of one of the goals of the Temple Movement being the political overthrow of the current secular democratic government and the reestablishment of the Davidic Monarchy. This has been a particular project proposed by the revival of the Sanhedrin, the ancient Jewish high court of law dissolved in A.D. 358. Prof. Hillel Weiss, a literature teacher from Bar-Ilan University, and chairman of Friends of the Temple, is at the front of seeking to restore the Sanhedrin, and since 2004 various rabbis have met as a "renewed Sanhedrin" to discuss its formal institution and implementation of goals such as rebuilding the Temple and returning to the sacrificial system.


This new impetus of Jewish fervor for the Temple Mount has crossed religious lines and has attracted young secular Zionists. As Eldad has explained, "What had been marginal once upon a time is gaining momentum. Temple Mount is perceived as avant-garde. It attracts the young. Maybe older people had become accustomed to Temple Mount belonging to the Arabs and waiting for the [third] Temple to fall from the heavens."


The new mainstream status of the Temple Movement has been a factor in the Palestinian Authority ratcheting up their revisionist rhetoric denying a Jewish Temple ever existed at the site and to make the withdrawal of Israel to the pre-1967 war lines and the demand for Jerusalem as the capital of the Palestinian state a non-negotiable starting point in renewed peace talks. From the side of the Israeli government, the pressure exerted by the EU and the United States to comply with Palestinian demands, as well as the threat by the Arab states and fear of provocation over Jewish claims to the Islamic holy sites, has prevented any official support of the Movement's goals. However, one constant in the Middle East is that a lot can change in a short amount of time.


The Temple Movement is of particular interest to those who take a future and literal interpretation of the biblical prophecies concerning the second coming of Yeshua and of Israel's restoration. The New Covenant predicted by Jeremiah (Jeremiah 31-33) and Ezekiel (Ezekiel 36-37) included a renewed Davidic rule and Temple priesthood, including the rebuilding of the Temple and revival of animal sacrifices (Jeremiah 33:15-22; Ezekiel 37:27-28). In addition, Yeshua's statements in the Olivet Discourse, as well as those of Paul, foretold a rebuilt Temple would stand before the return of Messiah and be desecrated by the Anti-messiah (Matthew 24:15; Mark 13:14; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4), apparently in fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy (Daniel 9:27).


THIS  IS  WHERE  THIS  SO-CALLED  PhD  GUY  GOES  OFF  THE  TRACKS;  CONCERNING  THOSE  PROPHECIES  HE  DOED  NOT  HAVE  A  CLUE,  AS  TO  THEIR  UNDERSTANDING——I  HAVE  EXPOUNDED  THEM  IN  DETAIL  ON  MY  WEBSITE.  IT  IS  THE  OLD  PROTESTANT  RAMBLE  FROM  THE  SCOFIELD  BIBLE,  PUBLISHED  IN  THE  EARLY  20TH  CENTURY - Keith Hunt  


As the Temple Movement prepares for the return of the Temple, many prophetic students believe such actions signal the nearness of the return of Messiah as the Scriptures declare: "Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come..." (Malachi 3:1).


THE  TEMPLE  OF  THE  NEW  TESTAMENT  IS  CLEARLY  EXPOUNDED  BY  THE  APOSTLE  PAUL.  AS  THE  NEW  TESTAMENT  CHURCH—— LOOK  UP  THE  WORD  TEMPLE  AS  PAUL  USED  IT—— LOOK  IT  UP  WITH  STRONG’S  CONCORDANCE  OF  THE  BIBLE— LOOK  UP  HOW  PAUL  USED  THAT  WORD  IN  THE  NEW  TESTAMENT.  JESUS  WILL  INDEED  ONE  DAY  SUDDENLY  COME  TO  HIS  NEW  TESTAMENT  TEMPLE—- THE  SAINTS  HIS  BRIDE,  AND  WILL  REJOICE  WITH  HIS  TEMPLE - Keith Hunt

THERE  IS  A  HUGE  DIFFERENCE  BETWEEN  PRAYING  AT  THE  WAILING  WALL,  AND  BUILDING  A  TEMPLE  WITH  ANIMAL  SACRIFICES,  BEFORE  THE  MESSIAH  COMES  AGAIN.


PRICE  HAS  ALL  KINDS  OF  "CREDENTIALS"  INCLUDING  A  PhD,  YET  HIS  UNDERSTANDING  OF  END  TIME  BIBLE  PROPHECY  IS  LIKE  ALL  MESSIANIC  JEWS  OR  FUNDAMENTAL  PROTESTANT  PROPHETS,  APPALLING  TO  SAY  THE  LEAST.


THERE  ARE  MANY  "SECTS"  IN  JUDAISM.  WHAT  PRICE  DOES  NOT  TELL  YOU  IS  THAT  ONE  LARGE  "ORTHODOX"  JEWISH  SECT  TEACHES  THAT  THE  NEXT  TEMPLE  CAN  ONLY  BE  BUILT  BY  THE  MESSIAH.


THE  BUILDING  OF  A  PHYSICAL  TEMPLE  HAS  BECOME  A  CENTER  POINT  IN  PROTESTANT  END  TIME  THEOLOGY.  BUT  END  TIME  PROPHECY  NEEDS  NO  PHYSICAL  TEMPLE.  THE  SECTIONS  OF  SCRIPTURE  USED  TO  SUPPORT  THE  IDEA  ARE  ALL  FULLY  EXPLAINED  ON  MY  WEBSITE  UNDER  "PROPHECY."


PEOPLE  HAVE  BEEN  TELLING  YOU  A  PHYSICAL  TEMPLE  IS  "NEAR  TO  COME"  FOR  ABOUT  100  YEARS  PLUS.  SOMEONE  IN  THE  1980s  EVEN  WROTE  THAT  THE  STONES  FOR  IT  WERE  AT  A  DOCK  IN  THE  USA,  READY  TO  BE  SHIPPED  OVER  TO  JERUSALEM.  I  THINK  THE  BOAT  MUST  HAVE  SUNK  IN  THE  ATLANTIC.


SOME  NOW  SAY  THE  TEMPLE  WAS  NEVER  WHERE  THE  DOME  OF  THE  ROCK  NOW  STANDS [THAT  IS  WRONG  ALSO].  AND  THEY  SAY  THE  TEMPLE  CAN  BE  BUILT  IN  SOME  OTHER  JERUSALEM  PLACE.  SO  WHY  HAVE  THEY  NOT  BUILT  IT?  


THE  FUNDAMENTAL  PROTESTANT  PROPHETS  SAY  JESUS  CAN  NOT  RETURN  UNTIL  THIS  TEMPLE  IS  BUILT,  AND  JEWS  START  ANIMAL  SACRIFICES—— IT  IS  A  VERY  VERY  SMALL  MINORITY  WHO  TEACH  THIS  FAR  OUT  DOCTRINE;  THEY  GOT  IT  FROM  A  GUY  CALLED  SCOFIELD  IN  HIS  BIBLE  NOTES,  PUBLISHED  AT  THE  BEGINNING  OF  THE  20TH  CENTURY.   HE  CAME  UP  WITH  A  PLANET  PLUTO  EXPLANATION  OF  THE  PROPHECY  OF  DANIEL  9  CONCERNING  THE  COMING  OF  THE  MESSIAH.


THEN  THERE  WAS  ADDED  ANOTHER  WILD  IDEA  ABOUT  A  “SECRET  INVISIBLE  RAPTURE”  OF  CHRISTIANS.  TEACHING  THE  NORTH  BEAST  POWER—A  HOLY  ROMAN  EMPIRE,  WILL  SIGN  A  PEACE  TREATY  FOR  7  YEARS  WITH  THE JEWISH  STATE.  IN  THE  MIDDLE  OF  THIS  7  YEARS  THE  ANTI—CHRIST  STOPS  THE  SACRIFICES,  WALKS  INTO  THE  TEMPLE  AND  CLAIMS  HE’S  GOD.  SOME  TEACH  THE  SECRET  RAPTURE  TAKES  PLACE  EITHER  BEFORE  THE  GREAT  TRIBULATION   BEGINS  OR  HALF  WAY  THROUGH  THE  7  YEARS.  THE  “CHURCH”  IS  TAKEN  BACK  TO  HEAVEN  FOR  THEN  EITHER  7  YEARS  OR  3  ANND 1/2  YEARS, THEN  JESUS  COMES  IN  POWER  AND  GLORY  WITH  ARMIES  FROM  HEAVEN  TO  FIGHT  THE  BATTLE  OF  ARMAGEDDON [REVELATION 16].


JUST  ABOUT  ALL  OF  THIS  IS  UNTTER    NONE-SENSE!!


IF  THEY  READ  DANIEL  9  IN  THE  FUNDAMENTAL  PROTESTANT BARNES’  BIBLE  COMMENTARY, THEY  COULD  COME  TO  THE  KNOWLEDGE  OF  THE  TRUTH!


THIS  PROPHECY  HAS  ALREADY  BEEN  FULFILLED  IN  EVERY  SINGLE  SENTENCE ;  IT  HAS  NOTHING  TO  DO  WITH  END  TIME  PROPHECY! 


THESE  PEOPLE  DO  NOT  UNDERSTAND  MATHEW  24;  MARK  13;  LUKE  21.  THEY  WILL  NOT  LET  THE  BIBLE  EXPLAIN  ITS  OWN  END  TIME  PROPHECIES.  THE  ABOMINATION  THAT  MAKES  DESOLATE  IS  INTERPRETED  FOR  US  IN  LUKE  21—— IT  IS  THE  END  TIME  BEAST  POWER,  THE  HOLY  ROMAN  EMPIRE  IN  EUROPE,  THE  ABOMINATION  OF  BABYLON  THE  GREAT  OF  THE  BOOK  OF  REVELATION,  THE  “KING  OF  THE  NORTH” [DANIEL 11:40],  MOVING  INTO  THE  HOLY  LAND  WITH  ARMIES  SURROUNDING  JERUSALEM,  AND  MAKING  IT  DESOLATE. 


THEY  DO  NOT  UNDERSTAND  WHAT  IS  THE  POWER  THAT  DESOLATES  THE  CITY  OF  JERUSALEM.  WHEN  ALL  OF  THE  REMAINING  STONES  OF  THAT  TEMPLE  MOUNT,  WILL  COME  CRASHING  DOWN,  AS  JESUS  PREDICTED,  IN  MATTHEW  24. 


THESE  TEMPLE  PEOPLE  KEEP  QUIET  ABOUT  THE  PEOPLE  AND  GOVERNMENT  OF  THE  STATE  OF  ISRAEL  IN  THAT  THEY  ARE  SECULAR— FEW  ARE  RELIGIOUS.  THE  GOVERNMENT  IS  A  SECULAR  GOVERNMENT——THEY  COULD  CARE  LESS  WHAT  SOME  LITTLE  SMALL  SECT  WOULD  LIKE  TO  DO.


THE  ANIMAL  RIGHT’S  PEOPLE  WOULD  BE  UP  IN  ARMS  AND  PROBABLY  BURN  THAT  EDIFICE  TO  THE  GROUND——PEOPLE  DO  NOT  REALIZE  WHAT TRYING  TO  ESTABLISH  THE  OLD   TESTAMENT  PRIESTHOOD  AND  ANIMAL  SACRIFICES  ENTAILS—— IT  IS  NOT  A  SLAUGHTER  HOUSE  PER  SE,  FOR  ALL  PEOPLE  IN  JERUSALEM,  TO  BE  FED——MANY  MANY  ANIMALS  ARE  KILLED  FOR  SOME  SO-CALLED  RELIGIOUS  CEREMONY.


THE  CIVIL  RIGHTS  FOR  ANIMAL  GROUPS  WOULD  BE  UP  IN  ARMS!


THEY  WOULD  STAND  IN  THE  WAY—- PROTEST, PROTEST! I  WOULD  NOT  BE  SURPRISED  THEY  WOULD  BURN  IT  DOWN,   AND  MANY  TIMES  OVER  IF  THIS  “SECT”  AND  “CULT”   REALY  DID  BUILD  A  RELIGIOUS  SLAUGHTER  HOUSE  TEMPLE. 


THE  TWO  ARAB  NATIONS  JUST  RECENTLY  SIGNING  A  CO-OPERATE  [SEPTEMBER 2020]  DEAL  WITH  THE  STATE  OF  ISRAEL,  IS  HAILED  AS  SOME  BIG  DEAL.  THEY  HAVE  MISSED  IT!  THIS  IS  NO  BIG  DEAL  AS  A  CANADIAN  REPORTER  ON  NATIONAL  TV,  SAID  THE  TWO  ARAB  NATION  WERE  ALREADY IN  A  FRIENDSHIP  PARTNERSHIP  WITH  THE  STATE  OF  ISRAEL. THE  REPORTER  LITERALLY  SAID,  “THIS  IS  NOT  SOME  BIG  DEAL.”


2 THESSALONIANS 2 —— THE  MAN  OF  SIN  AND  THE  TEMPLE—— THE  WORD  “TEMPLE”  IS  NAOS,  VINE’S  EXPOSITORY  DICTIONARY  SAYS  SHRINE  OR  SANCTUARY. Page 621.

NOW  READ  DANIEL  9: 16-18.  JERUSALEM  IS  THE  SANCTUARY  OF  GOD.  IN  THE  HEBREW  IS  IS  “HOLY  PLACE.” [MATTHEW  24— VERSE  15].  IT  IS  NUMBER  4720  IN  STRONG’S  CONCORDANCE.  


NOW  READ  DANIEL  8: 11 AND  THE  CONTEXT.  THE  WORD  “SANCTUARY”  IN  VERSE  11,  IS  #4720.  THE  WORD  “SACRIFICE”  IN  THIS  SECTION  IS  NOT  IN  THE  HEBREW.  THIS  IS  AN  END  TIME  PROPHECY [VERSE 17].  FOR  “DAYS” IN  VERSE  14  THE  HEBREW  IS  “MORNING  AND  EVENING.”  IT  IS  1,150  DAYS  OR  3  YEARS  2  MONTHS  AND  10  DAYS,  AS  IN  30  DAYS  TO  THE  MONTH.  


THE  WORDS  “SANCTUARY”  IN  VERSES  13, 14,  IS  #6944  IN  STRONG’S  CONCORDANCE.  IT  MEANS—— A  SACRED  PLACE  OR  THING;  CONSECRATED  THING,  HALLOWED  THING,  DEDICATED  THING….HOLINESS,  SAINT,  SANCTUARY.


NOW  BACK  TO  THE  WORD  #4720.


TURN  TO  EXODUS 15: 17 —— ISRAEL  IS  TO  BE  BROUGHT  INTO  THE  “MOUNTAIN  OF  THINE  INHERITANCE”  WHICH  IS  MADE  FOR  GOD  TO  DWELL  IN.  “IN  THE  SANCTUARY  O  LORD,  WHICH  THY  HANDS  HAVE  ESTABLISHED.”


ISRAEL  WAS  TO  DWELL  IN  THE  PROMISED  LAND—— THE  SANCTUARY  OF  GOD,  THAT  HE  WILL  ONE  DAY  DWELL  IN.  BOTH  THE  HOLY  LAND  AND  THE  HOLY  CITY  OF  JERUSALEM  ARE  THE  SANCTUARY  OF  GOD!

NOTICE  ALSO  PSALM  78: 54—— ISRAEL  WAS  BROUGHT  TO  GOD’S  SANCTUARY—— #6944  IN  STRONG’S CONCORDANCE.


THE  MAN  OF  SIN,  THE  FALSE  PROPHET  OF  THE  BOOK  OF  REVELATION,  THE  ONE  WHO  WILL  CLAIM  GODNESS,  WILL  ONE  DAY  SIT  IN  THE  TEMPLE  SANCTUARY  OF  GOD——  THE  HOLY  LAND  AND  THE  HOLY  TEMPLE  JERUSALEM!  IT  HAS  NOTHING  TO  DO  WITH  A  PHYSICAL  BUILDING.  


THE  TWO  END  TIME  PROPHECIES  OF  DANIEL  8:8-17  AND  12:11 [CONTEXT]—— THE  WORD  “SACRIFICE”  IS  NOT  IN  THE  HEBREW!  IT  IS  JUST  NOT  THERE!  BUT  MANY  QUOTE  THESE  SECTIONS  TO  PEOPLE  TO  TRY  AND  PROVE  THERE  WILL  BE  END  TIME  ANIMAL SACRIFICES  BY  THE  JEWS.  


SUCH  IS  THE  SLIGHT  OF  HAND  AND  FALSE  READINGS  OF  THE  BIBLE,  BY  SOME,  BECAUSE  THEY  DO  NOT  “SEARCH  THE  SCRIPTURES”  AS  JESUS  TOLD  US  TO  DO.



ALL  THE  FALSE  TEACHINGS  OF  FUNDAMENTAL  PROTESTANT  PROPHETS IS  ALL  EXPOSED  ON  MY  WEBSITE,  ANSWERING  THEIR  TEACHINGS  IN  DETAIL.
