Jews belonging to the tribe of Levi came together for a mass gathering on Sunday, for the first time in over 1900 years - since the destruction of the Second Temple. As the article states, through the modern science of genetics, ancient Biblical prophecy can be fulfilled. Rather than relying on questionable geneologies, the lineage of the ancient priestly tribe can now be proved through DNA analysis, enabling true Levites to take their place in a future Temple. Quote: "Genetic research over the past several decades has succeeded in isolating a particular DNA signature shared by all members of the Tribe of Levi, making the reinstitution of Israel's priestly caste a relatively simple endeavor once the Temple is rebuilt. Ben shared this Scripture concerning the prophecy on the reformation of the tribe of Levi. Malachi 3:2-3 Source Israel Today, Arutz 7 |
