Quote: "The world holds dark assumptions that fervent dreams by different faiths for the Temple Mount must lead to conflict. We pretend that these dreams no longer matter, but past regional peace initiatives have fallen apart in disputes about the Temple Mount. Join us in unveiling the prophetic calling of God's Holy Mountain through close religious study, and in seeing: The Temple Mount is not a problem but the place for Jew, Muslim, and Christian to fulfill Zechariah's prophecy: "On that day, God will be one and His name one."
But some argue that this gate is not in the same location as the Eastern Gate that lies buried beneath the ground. The Temple Mount and Land of Israel Faithful Movement believe that the real Eastern Gate is located a hundred metres further south, and that the Holy of Holies was located directly beneath the present day Dome of the Rock. They believe that only the destruction of the Dome of the Rock will pave the way for the building of the Third Temple. They admit that this would inevitably lead to a third World War, but that God would grant Israel the victory for seeking to fulfil His will. Whichever theory holds true, there is no doubt that we are nearing the time when the Temple will be rebuilt, in accordance with Biblical prophecy (Revelation 11:1-2). As we saw recently, the Temple Institute, which is reconstructing many of the instruments that will be used in a rebuilt Temple, is already working on blueprints for the Temple's construction. And one of the tasks the newly established Sanhedrin has set itself is the discovery of the exact location of where the Second Temple once stood. Many Jews believe that the construction of the Third Temple will precipitate the coming of the Messiah. And the Bible does seem to indicate that a messiah-figure will enter the rebuilt Temple shortly after its construction (2nd Thessalonians 2:4). Unfortunately he will not be the true messiah. When He was here on Earth, the Lord Jesus Christ said that He had come in His Father's Name and the nation of Israel had not received Him. But, He said, if another came in his own name, him they would receive (John 5:43). This one whom the nation of Israel will receive will enter the rebuilt Temple and blasphemously declare himself to be God. He will then demand that all the people of Earth worship him. Unwittingly, the very 'dark assumptions' and 'fervent dreams' that they are working to prevent will be realized, when people of all religions are commanded to worship a man who sits on the Temple Mount claiming to be the one true God. How devious the devil is. Only when the Jewish nation has nowhere else to turn, they will recognize who their true Messiah is and turn to Him for salvation (Zechariah 12:10). And He will come to them and save them from their enemies. Praise God that we know the true Messiah, and we do not have to wait until then to find out who He is! Do you know Him? He is the one with the nail-pierced hands (Psalms 22:16). He is the one who loves you, and gave Himself for you (Galatians 2:20). Why don't you turn away from your sins, and trust in Jesus Christ for salvation today. Isaiah 53:6 Source Star Online, Temple Mount Faithful |
