And
it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house
shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted
above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it. And many people shall
go and say; 'Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house
of the G-d of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his
paths; for from Zion shall go forth Torah, and the word of the Lord
from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall decide
for many people; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their
spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor
shall they learn war any more.
O house of Jacob, come, and let us walk in the light of the Lord' "
-Isaiah 2:1-5, cf Micah 4:1-4

Prophecy in the News : Rebuilding of the Jewish Temple
March
16, 2010
1ST ANNUAL
INTERNATIONAL TEMPLE MOUNT
AWARENESS DAY
ARE YOU AWARE
THAT:
The Temple Mount is
the holiest place in the world; yet Jews and all non-Moslems are denied
the right to pray in groups, and even as individuals; this refusal is
accompanied by their constant degradation, and they are granted no opportunity
for any religious expression whatsoever on the Temple Mount.
Only Jews are forced
to wait an extended period of time before being allowed through security.
Only Jews are forced to present their ID’s to the police.
Only Jews are followed
and harassed by Israeli police and Muslim Wakf guards throughout the entire
visit on the Mount.
Only Jews are arrested
for crimes such as prayer, closing eyes, bowing down or singing.
The Prime Minister
of Israel has failed to include the Temple Mount in his own "Heritage
Plan," among those sites of historical, cultural and religious significance
to the Jewish people, to receive enhanced government budgeting for the
improvement of access, upkeep, and beautification of the sites.
Israelites
are talking about rebuilding the temple in our day.
I encourage
you to read your newspapers and weekly magazines with spiritual eyes
in the days ahead
because even now building materials are being gathered and temple utensils
created for the
rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. At present, the Temple Mount
is controlled by the Islamic "Waqf Authority" and the Moslem
Shrine the "Dome of the Rock" is situated in the spot where
the first and second temples once stood. following the liberation of
Jerusalem and the Temple Mount in the June 1967 Six Day War, the then
Israeli government decided to return the keys to the Mount to the Islamic
Waqf Authority, under Jordanian control, permitting the continued occupation
of the holy site until today.
It is unclear
where the third temple would be rebuilt. The rebuilding cannot even
start until the Jews re-control the Temple Mount. Then the issue of
the placement of the Dome of the Rock would come into play. When the
new temple is erected, all will go relatively well for a while, but
then, midway into the Tribulation hour, the Antichrist will sit proudly
on that temple throne and claim to be the world's god (2 Thessalonians
2:4).
The false prophet will create an image in the likeness of the Antichrist
(Revelation 13:15)
and all mankind will be commanded to fall down and worship the beast
of the revived
Roman Empire mentioned in Daniel 7:8-just as Nebuchadnezzar commanded
the people
of Babylon to bow down and worship him.
The Wailing Wall. The
only place Jews are allowed to pray at the Temple Mount.
The Moslem "Dome of the Rock", with the Gold Leaf roof,
in the distance and on the Temple Mount
and where the Temple originally stood.

Development!
TThe Cornerstone
for the Third Temple, weighing 13 tons, that the Temple Mount Faithful
Movement prepared to be laid on the Temple Mount and start the process
of the building of the Third Temple, was carried by the Temple Mount and
Land of Israel Faithful Movement as they marched from Ammunition Hill
to the Temple Mount on "Jerusalem Day", 27 Iyar 5769
(21 May 2009). The holy Cornerstone was driven
from Ammunition Hill to Jaffa Gate and along the western walls of the
Old City to the downtown streets of Jerusalem and was
presented to the people of Israel and to the entire world for the
first time since the destruction of the Holy Temple in the year 70 CE
On
their way to the Temple Mount the marchers
demonstrated in front of the United States consulate in Jerusalem
against the pressure that is growing from
president Barack Obama and His administration
to divide the land of Israel and to establish a foreign terror Arab
state inside the sovereign Land of Israel given by G-d in
an eternal covenant only for His people Israel for a Holy purpose:
to be a Holy nation, a kingdom of priests and a light to the nations
(exodus 19;5-6) . They warned President Obama
concerning his pressure to stop the
Israeli settlements of the Land, to remove the settlements in Judea
and Samaria and to divide Jerusalem the eternal Capital of the G-d
and the people of Israel. They called-out
to President Obama: 'Take your hands off the Land of the G-d and
the people of Israel and off Jerusalem!' They warned President
Obama to be careful of the divine judgment from the G-d of Israel
as the Prophet Joel prophesied: "For
behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring back
the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations,
and will bring them down in the valley of Jehosophat, and will enter
into judgment with them there for my people and for my heritage
Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and have divided
up my land." (Joel 4:2)
"So
said Nehemiah, 'Then I answered them,
and said to them [the Arabs], "The G-d of heaven will make us prosper
and we His servants will arise and build but you have no portion, no right,
no memorial in Jerusalem.'~Nehemiah
2.20
If, during the Tribulation
period, the people do not bow to the Antichrist and give him full allegiance,
they will be killed (Revelation 13:15; 20:4-5). When the pagan tyrant
Antiochus Epiphanes set up his pagan deities in the place of the most
high God, and put a sow on the temple altar, it was called "the abomination
that maketh desolate"
(Daniel 11:31; 12:11). Now, more than two thousand years later, the Antichrist
will also set up an image called
"the abomination of desolation" according to the statements
of Jesus in Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:14. Why?
Because he is defiling God's holy temple. The Jews revere their holy temple-the
Antichrist mocks it and them
by breaking one of the Jews' commandments concerning the placing of an
idol in the temple (Exodus 20:4-5).
At this point their long sought-for temple again becomes desolate because
of the abominable idol therein.
The
Calm before the Storm
Jesus, in Matthew 24:15-21,
says:
When ye therefore shall see
the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand
in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them
which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop
not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Neither let him which is
in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are
with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that
your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then
shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the
world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Why flee? Because Satan's
final forty-two months are about to be unleashed globally, and he's filled
with wrath
(Revelation 12:12). Then Russia marches and the abomination of desolation
(or image) is set up in the temple
during this final three-and-one-half-year period known as the Great Tribulation
(Revelation 7:14). It is the time
of the end (Daniel 11:40; 12:4).
This revelation and interpretation
of the vision delivered to Daniel by the angel Gabriel was a two-edged
sword:
one of gloom and doom; the other of hope. Gloom, because the Antichrist
is about to appear. Hope, because
Christ destroys him with the brightness of His coming (2 Thessalonians
2:8). Today, we are seeing what can
only be called "the calm before the storm." History is not yet
complete, but the handwriting is on the wall for
those who have eyes to see. (-from Jack Van Impe Newsletter of Sept 3,
2007)

Israeli Sense
of Humor at UN
An ingenious example of speech
and politics occurred
recently in the United Nations Assembly and made the
world community smile.
A representative from Israel began: 'Before beginning
my talk I want to tell you something about Moses.
When he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he
thought, 'What a good opportunity to have a bath!'
He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and
entered the water. When he got out and wanted to dress,
his clothes had vanished. A Palestinian had stolen them.'
The Palestinian representative jumped up furiously and
shouted, 'What are you talking about? The Palestinians
weren't there then.'
The Israeli representative smiled and said,
'And now that
we have made that clear, I will begin my speech
Experience
the holy land and visit Jerusalem, Israel.
From
the Jaffa Gate, the Temple
Mount Faithful marchers
continued to the Temple Mount
in the same way as the Maccabees.
When we arrived at the Temple Mount, we swore what our forefathers swore
2,586 years ago after the destruction
of the first Temple, and what our forefathers
swore
in the year 70 CE when the second
Temple was destroyed.
We swore,
"If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let
my right hand forget her cunning.
If I do not remember you let my
tongue cleave to the roof of
my mouth, if I do not set
Jerusalem above my highest
sorrow and joy" ~Psalm 137.5-6.
We swore it in the name of all the people of
Jerusalem, and even in the name of so many
brothers and sisters of Israel among the
nations that stand today with such real
and heroic faithfulness with the G-d and the
people of Israel at this critical time.
A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art.
They had everything in their collection,
from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire
the great works of art.
When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was
very courageous and died in battle
while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved
deeply for his only son.
About a month later, just before Christmas, there was a knock
at the door. A young man stood at the
door with a large package in his hands. He said, "Sir, you don't
know me, but I am the soldier for
whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and
he was carrying me to safety when
a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly. He often
talked about you, and your love for art.
" The young man held out this package. "I know this isn't much.
I'm not really a great artist, but I think
your son would have wanted you to have this."
The father opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted
by the young man. He stared in
awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his
son in the painting. The father was so
drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked
the young man and offered to
pay him for the picture. "Oh, no sir, I could never repay what
your son did for me. It's a gift."
The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to
his home he took them to see
the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the
other great works he had collected.
The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction
of his paintings. Many influential
people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having
an opportunity to purchase one
for their collection.
On the platform sat the painting of the son. The auctioneer pounded
his gavel. "We will start the
bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?"
There was silence.
Then a voice in the back of the room shouted, "We want to see
the famous paintings. Skip this one."
But the auctioneer persisted. "Will somebody bid for this painting.
Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?"
Another voice angrily. "We didn't come to see this painting. We
came to see the Van Goghs, the
Rembrandts. Get on with the real bids!"
But still the auctioneer continued. "The son! The son! Who'll
take the son?"
Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the
longtime gardener of the man and his son.
"I'll give $10 for the painting." Being a poor man, it was all
he could afford.
"We have $10, who will bid $20?"
"Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters."
"$10 is the bid, won't someone bid $20?"
The crowd was becoming angry. They didn't want the picture of
the son. They wanted the more worthy
investments for their collections.
The auctioneer pounded the gavel. "Going once, twice, SOLD for
$10!"
A man sitting on the second row shouted, "Now let's get on with
the collection!"
The auctioneer laid down his gavel. "I'm sorry, the auction is
over."
"What about the paintings?"
"I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was
told of a secret stipulation in the will.
I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only
the painting of the son would be
auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire
estate, including the paintings.
The man who took the son gets everything!"
God gave His son 2,000 years ago to die on the cross. Much like
the auctioneer,
His message today is: "The son, the son, who'll take the son?"
Because, you see, whoever takes the Son gets everything.

BELIEVETH, SHALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE...
