Randal Price is very much on the side of building a Temple but is willing to admit things that most advocates of the Temple will not - Keith Hunt
Temple
MOVEMENT
Today
by Randall Price
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.
[PRAYING IS ONE THING BUILDING A TEMPLE IS WAY DIFFERENT BALL GAME - Keith Hunt]
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.
[IF THE BILL EVER BECOMES LAW, IT IS STILL A VERY LONG WAY FOR WOULD-BE-TEMPLE-BUILDERS TO EVER BUILD IN THE REALITY OF IT ALL - Keith Hunt]
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.
[IF YOU GO ON THE SANHEDRIN WEBSITE, YOU WILL SEE IT IS A LAUGH. THE SANHEDRIN HAS TO BECOME THE FINAL AUTHORITY IN THE STATE OF ISRAEL. AND THAT IS BEYOND ANY COMMON LOGIC THAT IT WILL EVER HAPPEN. THE SANHEDRIN DREAMERS ARE JUST THAT— DREAMERS OF THINGS LONG GONE, AND JUST DAFT TO THINK THE SANHEDRIN WOULD EVER CONTROL THE STATE OF ISRAEL AS IT DID IN THE TIME OF CHRIST, ALBEIT UNDER ROMAN POWER - Keith Hunt]
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."
[OF COURSE PRICE IS NOT GOING TO TELL YOU HERE THAT IT IS A MIGHTY SMALL PEICE OF THE POPULATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE INTERESTED IN TEMPLE MOUNT STUFF - Keith Hunt]
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.
[TELL ME ANOTHER JOKE; IT'S BEEN THERE FOR CENTURIES, AND THE ARABS WILL NEVER GIVE IT UP
TO JEWISH WANT-TO-BE-TEMPLE-BUILDERS. IF THE JEWS EVER TRIED TAKING IT BY FORCE, ALL ARAB ISLAM WOULD DESCEND ON THE STATE OF ISRAEL TO BLOW THEM OFF THE PLANET IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE - Keith Hunt]
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.
[THEY KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT REAL BIBLE PROPHECY AND RESTORATION OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH. THEY DO NOT ADMIT THERE IS AN ISRAEL SEPARATE FROM JUDAH, THE JEWS. AND WILL NOT BE UNITED AGAIN UNTIL THE MESSIAH RETURNS - Keith Hunt]
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).
YES THAT IS INDEED TRUE, FOR THE NEW AGE TO COME WHEN AND AFTER THE MESSIAH HAS RETURNED - Keith Hunt]
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).
[THAT IS ALL TOTAL GARBAGE; NOT UNDERSTANDING THOSE PROPHECIES; ESPECIALLY DANIEL 9: 27. ALL EXPLAINED IN MY MANY DIFFERENT STUDIES ON MY WEBSITE - 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 AS THE NEW TESTAMENT SHOWS IS NOW THE CHURCH OF GOD. PAUL MADE THAT VERY PLAIN IN HIS WRITING, THAT WE, THE DISCIPLES OF JESUS, THE CHILDREN OF GOD, ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD - Keith Hunt]

………..
AND HE STILL DOES NOT KNOW THE REALITIES OF BIBLE PROPHECY. HE JUST SPOUTS THE PROTESTANT FUNDAMENTALIST TEACHING OVER THE LAST 70 YEARS OR SO, BASED ON A FALSE UNDERSTANDING FROM DERBY AND SCOFIELD, ON DANIEL 9: 27, AS BROUGHT INTO SCOFIELD'S BIBLE IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY.
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 70 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.
ALL THE FALSE TEACHINGS OF FUNDAMENTAL PROTESTANT PROPHETS IS ALL EXPOSED ON MY WEBSITE, ANSWERING THEIR TEACHINGS IN DETAIL.
PRICE HAS ADMITTED IN OTHER WRITING, THAT THIS TEMPLE STUFF IS ONLY TAUGHT BY A VERY VERY SMALL MINORITY OF PEOPLE. HE ADMITS THE TEMPLE COULD ONLY BE BUILT WHERE THE DOME OF THE ROCK NOW STANDS, WHERE THE 2ND TEMPLE ONCE STOOD. IF HE NOW SAYS DIFFERENT THEN THEY HAVE FIGURED SOME NEW SITE IS WHERE THE 2ND TEMPLE STOOD; WHICH IS MOST DEFINITELY WRONG, AS PROVEN BY MANY EXPERTS.
HE ADMITS THE RED HEIFER MUST BE BORN IN THE HOLY LAND, ONE FROM OUTSIDE IS NOT PERMITTED, AND IF ONLY ONE WHITE HAIR IS FOUND IN ITS BODY, IT IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE SACRIFICE BURNING. THE 5 RED HEIFERS SENT FROM THE USA ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, CAN ONLY BE USE IN GENETICS TO BREED A PURE RED HEIFER BORN IN THE STATE OF ISRAEL.
THEN THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT THE OUTCRY FROM ANIMAL RIGHT PEOPLE; THEY WOULD DEMONSTRATE LIKE CRAZY [MAYBE CRAZY ENOUGH TO BURN THE TEMPLE DOWN, IF IT EVER RISES], FOR TO KILL ANIMALS LIKE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, WOULD SURELY HAVE THE ANIMAL RIGHTS PEOPLE IN A FRENZY OF FURY. THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT SECULAR AS THEY ARE, WOULD PROBABLY NOT ALLOW IT EITHER.
THE THEOLOGY THAT A PHYSICAL TEMPLE HAS TO BE BUILD BEFORE JESUS THE MESSIAH CAN RETURN AGAIN, IS THEOLOGY FROM PLANET PLUTO, WHICH LEADS THE FUNDAMENTAL THEOLOGY GUYS INTO FALSE PROPHETIC TEACHING FOR THE END TIMES, IN A HUGE MAZE OF FALSEHOODS RIGHT BACK TO PLANET PLUTO FROM WHERE IT CAME!
ON MY WEBSITE, FOR DECADES TOLD YOU ABOUT THE RETURN OF CHRIST…… HERE IT IS——
JESUS CHRIST'S RETURN: Bible prophecy gives the outline and even details of what MUST take place on this earth BEFORE Jesus can return. Those who teach Christ can come at any second, are teaching a false doctrine. Certain events that will take are least three and one half years before Jesus returns MUST come to pass. Knowing Bible prophecy and walking with the Lord, I can dogmatically tell you with full assurance, that Jesus will NOT return in this decade of 2000 - 2010. (posted 2004) It is now 2010. Much has yet to form in Bible Prophecy. I can with prayer and knowing Bible Prophecy, tell you that Jesus will NOT return before 2015 (posted Feb.2010). It is now near the end of 2013. Knowing Bible Prophecy and walking with the Lord; I can tell you with full assurance Jesus will NOT return before 2020. There is an end time of 42 months, about 3 and 1/2 years. The "king of the south" an Arab union led by Egypt is a long way from forming. The "king of the north" a resurrected Holy Roman Empire of Europe has much to form to be the end time Beast/Babylon of Revelation. It will take much longer for this to happen than by 2016. Hence Jesus will not return before 2020.
TODAY MAY 2024 I WILL TELL YOU QUITE DOGMATICALLY FROM KNOWING BIBLE PROPHECY JESUS WILL NOT RETURN BEFORE 2030 AND EVERY UNLIKELY NOT BEFORE 2035.
LOOKING AT HISTORY— THERE HAS BEEN AT LEAST A 100 YEAR PERIOD BETWEEN THE 6 RESURRECTION OF THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE. BETWEEN NAPOLEON AND MUSSOLINI ABOUT 120 YEARS, THE 5TH TO 6TH RESURRECTIONS OF HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE. SO WITH THAT SAID IT WILL BE ONLY ABOUT 100 YEARS FROM MUSSOLINI TO 1935, SO MY TENTATIVE SAYING
JESUS MAY NOT RETURN TILL AFTER 2035.
BUT DOGMATICALLY NOT BEFORE 2030!
