From the Heart of Jerusalem: The Temple Institute

[Parture]

2014/15 is the next Lunar Tetrad (Rev. 6.12) on passovers and tabernacles, and won't happen again till 2582/83. The Dome on the Rock is to be torn down and 3rd Temple begins construction in or right next to the Tetrad, since the last two feast Tetrads fell in 1949/50 and 1967/68. Rev.6.12 shows us in order the great earthquake (2010-11), unique solar ecliplse (H3 Nov. 3, 2013) and Tetrad. The Tribulation is 2,520 days from Feast of Trumpets, Sept. 14, 2015 to Aug. 7, Tisha B'Av, Sunday, 2022.

liked vid. thanks

Actually, according to the Bible, the Temple mount belongs lawfully to Israel for it was a Jebusite who sold it to David for the building of the first temple.

The mosque MUST be demolished because its on a place where it does not belong.

Well, there is some right in your comment too but don't forget in a parliamentary democracy religion and state should be separated. I tell you this as a believer (I'm not atheist).

The ultimate form of government in Israel will be a Torah government, and all institutions, whatever their function, will be under the laws and influence of the Holy Torah. Democracy as we now have it is a temporary affair. Think constitutional monarchy, rather than republic.

@72Yonatan I understand your point, it's the typical view of Ortdoxy in Israel. Thanks for having shared it with me. I don't beleive in the hegemony of religion, I rather believe in coexistance of different peaceful life styles and human rights. Let's hope, Israel won't become a "second Iran" and that the Temple - after being rebuilt - would bring peace and harmony for all of us!

@Euriel1

Your fears about "hegemony of religion" are based totally upon your education and your life conditioning.

However as human beings, we have the ability to rise above our conditioning, and above all the corruptions and missing pieces of our society.

We can build a better world, starting today, if we choose to do so. And building the third temple is the correct thing to do, regardless of what nations think of us.

As it says in Talmud - "in a place where there are no man, be a man."

[Euriel1]

How do you want to rebuild the Temple on the Temple Mount if there are two mosques already? Nobody would agree (and even the majority of Jews would protest) because it would be an anti-human step to demolish other religion's "temple". This would be an act also against the Torah?

But why don't we build there a Jewish temple between the two Muslim mosques? The mount could be divided by "estetic walls" or curtains between the different temples. This would be a compromise for peace and equality

@Euriel1

Your comment 3 years ago is based upon fear of what the nations will think, and you ask "wouldn't this be against Torah to demolish other religion's temple..?" The answer is no, it would not. We do know that sacrifices and the structure must be in its exactly commanded place, and their current building could not have been built if they had not demolished our temple first. So we are reclaiming this plot which David purchased for its rightful owners and correct use. No church or mosque.

I think everything depends on the individual how he or she can reconciliate his/her everyday life with Torah. "Western life" can also be in harmony with the fear of G_d and I'm not talking about secularism now.

[72Yonatan]

@Euriel1

Western life is based upon "the pleasure principle" - example: "if it feels good, then do it." All their values are pointed to liberty for the "pursuit of happiness" and for them happiness is defined as "fun" or pleasure. As Jews, we have reminded them to have a conscience, and they will never forgive us for that, and have tried to destroy us for thousands of years. But they did not have success. The USA is the new Rome, and they too will fall. Just pay attention and watch "Liberty."

[NWesterner]

dekzukenval, I would think so! Not that I'm a pious person...it just seems logical to me people must surrender to G-d's will. It's exciting yet frightening seeing what's unfolding in Israel with so many returning to their spiritual roots to lay down physical roots.

G-d Bless Israel.

okay this may sound random but u was just wanting to know why certain people say G-d, and skip the 'o' out ? why not just say God?

[tbonealaska]

This is reflecting that the name of G-d is so holy we can not say it, a Jewish tradition. Whether one believes this or not it is better to be safe than sorry and also not to offend anyone.

[72Yonatan]

@rich2468

Good question, and since this is not a real divine name, it is not necessary to do this. But it is done out of habit, since the divine Name cannot be written and then erased afterward, as that would be disrespect. That is why we do not try to vocalize the divine Name also. To take 'Hashem' in the place of the real Names is our custom. The Torah gives a death penalty for blaspheming the divine Name, so this is a wise custom.

[tbonealaska]

very well put
