Israel’s new National Security Minister Ben Gvir visited the ‘Temple Mount’ and this is drawing international condemnation:<\/p>\n

January 4, 2023<\/p>\n

\n

The United Arab Emirates and China have asked the U.N. Security Council to meet publicly, likely on Thursday, over recent developments at Al Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem, diplomats said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Israel’s new … national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir briefly visited Al Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem on Tuesday, a site also revered by Jews, angering the Palestinians and drawing a slew of condemnations. https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/newsfront\/uae-china-un\/2023\/01\/04\/id\/1102945\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The Biden administration denounced Tuesday\u2019s visit to the Temple Mount by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir as \u201cunacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States stands firmly for preservation of the historic status quo with respect to the holy sites in Jerusalem. We oppose any unilateral actions that undercut the historic status quo. They are unacceptable,\u201d U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price said.<\/p>\n

Until Ben Gvir\u2019s visit, the status quo was that Jews were permitted to visit the Temple Mount, an action the Biden administration now seems to be condemning. Ministers have visited the site in the past. https:\/\/www.israel365news.com\/364865\/biden-administration-joins-in-condemning-israeli-minister-visiting-temple-mount\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is not expected to be the only religious action that Ben Gvir and the new Israeli government will be criticized for.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, notice something that Israel365News<\/em> reported:<\/p>\n

January 5, 2023<\/p>\n

In the wake of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir (Otzma Yehudit Party) ascending to the Temple Mount<\/a> to commemorate the Tenth of Tevet on Tuesday, the Return to the Mount activist group petitioned <\/a>the minister to permit the Biblical Passover offering at Judaism\u2019s holiest site.<\/p>\n

Rafael Morris, the head of Return to the Mount, told Israel365 News that there is actually strong grassroots support for reinstating the Passover offering on the Temple Mount.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have lots of people, private and even in the government, that support this quietly but who are scared to say so in public,\u201d Morris said. \u201cAnd there\u2019s no reason why we shouldn\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morris pointed to the exponential growth in the number of Jews ascending to the Temple Mount.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne hundred years ago, it would have been crazy and an incitement of the Arabs to talk about a Jewish state in Israel,\u201d Morris said.\u201dEighty years ago it was a crazy incitement to talk about Jews praying at the Kotel (Western Wall) or Hebron. The Korban Pesach (Passover sacrifice) is a Biblical commandment the Jewish people perform for thousands of years in Jerusalem. It is the most normal thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere we are today, to bring the Passover sacrifice is quite a small step,\u201d Morris said.<\/p>\n

Morris emphasized that this \u201csmall step\u201d is necessary and must necessarily be on the Temple Mount.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only place Jews can perform the hundreds of commandments described in the Torah is on the Temple Mount,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is not our most <\/em>holy site. It is our only <\/em>holy site. Without the Temple Mount, we cannot be Torah Jews.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot bringing the Korban Pesach (Passover offering) carries the punishment of Karet, the most severe punishment described in the Bible. And since King David consecrated the Temple Mount 3,000 years ago, the Temple Mount has been the heart of Judaism and the only place we can perform these mitzvot.\u201d …<\/p>\n

He added that the opposition to Ben Gvir visiting the Temple Mount is explicitly racist.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a human rights issue but it is more than that,\u201d Morris said. \u201cThe people who oppose Jews going to the Temple Mount also oppose Jews living in Tel Aviv. It is the same thing. If we don\u2019t have the right to be Jews on the Temple Mount, we don\u2019t have any right to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morris said that if given the okay by the government, everything is in place to jump-start the Biblical ritual.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have everything we need and we have been practicing for over a decade but we still don\u2019t really know all the questions,\u201d he said. \u201cMitzvot are practical and the actual performance is part of the learning process. Before we returned to Israel, we really had no clue how to practically perform Shemittah (agricultural sabbatical ) and we are still working on it. We are much better prepared for the Passover offering and what we don\u2019t know, the rabbis and Kohanim (priests) will work on.\u201d<\/p>\n

He explained that performing the Passover service does not require a Temple structure.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe only need an altar,\u201d he said. \u201cThat is essentially a pile of rocks. We don\u2019t need to build anything or change anything on the Temple Mount. We can perform the Passover sacrifice and the next day, all signs of the service will be gone.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Clearly note that a massive Jewish temple in Jerusalem is not required for animal sacrifices. This is something I have posted here for over a decade. I have also posted that the sacrifice matter has been a political issue and that one day politics would allow for the resumption of sacrifices. Irrespective of what does and does not happen this Passover, regular animal sacrifices will one day be resumed by the Jews.<\/p>\n

Let me also add that it is once again admitted that a massive Jewish Temple is not required–and this is something that representatives of both the Sanhedrin and Temple Institute told me personally many years ago, and that is still their position.<\/p>\n

While many do wish to build another temple and have again recently taken steps (see Closer to another Jewish temple in Jerusalem being built?<\/a>), it should be pointed out that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Biblical prophecies do not require that a Jewish temple be built in Jerusalem before Jesus returns (for details, see Why is a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem Not Required?<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  2. There is no biblical requirement for a temple to be built for sacrifices to resume (cf. Ezra 3:6).<\/li>\n
  3. Jewish leaders have long recognized the second point (see also Nascent Sanhedrin structure and high priest: The plan is to start animal sacrifices\u2013this would fulfill prophecy!<\/a>)–which is part of why there have been animal sacrifices this century.<\/li>\n
  4. The Bible also tells of daily sacrifices being stopped (Daniel 9:27, 11:31)–and since they have not started, their start is a prophetic event to look out for.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Furthermore without a temple, on December 10, 2018, the Sanhedrin had a major sacrificial ceremony. The Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> (CCOG) put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy<\/a> YouTube channel related to it:<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a>

    \n

    Sanhedrin makes burnt offering to dedicate altar!<\/a><\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    The Reconstituted Sanhedrin performed a ceremony on December 10, 2018 to dedicate a new altar for the use of daily sacrifices. High Priest Rabbi Baruch Kahane officiated. How does this align with Bible prophecy? Daniel wrote three times that the daily sacrifices must stop, hence they first must resume. The Great Tribulation will begin shortly after these sacrifices stop. In this video Dr. Thiel, who has also been to Israel and spoken with The Temple Institute quotes several scriptures and explains why the actions by the Sanhedrin align with prophecy and the end times. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Here is a link to our video: Sanhedrin makes burnt offering to dedicate altar!<\/a><\/p>\n

    As far as animal sacrifices go, notice that the Bible shows that during the time of Ezra animal sacrifices in the Temple were made before the second Jewish Temple was built:<\/p>\n

    2 Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brethren, arose and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings on it, as it is written in the Law of Moses the man of God. 3 Though fear had come upon them because of the people of those countries, they set the altar on its bases; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the Lord, both the morning and evening burnt offerings. 4 They also kept the Feast of Tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings in the number required by ordinance for each day. 5 Afterwards they offered the regular burnt offering, and those for New Moons and for all the appointed feasts of the Lord that were consecrated, and those of everyone who willingly offered a freewill offering to the Lord. 6 From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the Lord, although the foundation of the temple of the Lord had not been laid. (Ezra 3:2-6)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    An actual rebuilt temple on the Temple Mount is not biblically required for the resumption of animal sacrifices, and many Jewish religious authorities realize this.<\/p>\n

    Since the Bible shows that the Jews will again have animal sacrifices (cf. Daniel 9:27; 11:31), that will happen.<\/p>\n

    Some believe that the Sanhedrin is bringing on ‘Antichrist’ through its sacrifices and desire for another temple (see Sanhedrin Accused of Bringing Anti-Christ<\/a>).<\/p>\n

    The current reason that animal sacrifices are not allowed on the Temple Mount itself is political. The Israeli courts have ruled that they can be performed, but because of the current tensions with the Muslims, they cannot be performed on what is called the Temple Mount.<\/p>\n

    That being said, it may take the ‘peace deal’ of Daniel 9:27 to set the stage for the daily sacrifices, but that too will involve politicians. Politicians can change, and enough will to fulfill prophecies related to animal sacrifices.<\/p>\n

    From a Christian perspective, the Apostle Paul<\/a> wrote that Jesus<\/a> was a substitute for the Passover lamb that the Jewish people used. He also taught that Christians should still continue to observe Passover:<\/p>\n

    7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. 8 Therefore let us keep the feast<\/strong>, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth (1 Corinthians 5:7-8).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    But how were Christians to do this?<\/p>\n

    The Apostle Paul explains:<\/p>\n

    23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. (1 Corinthians 11:23-26)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    So Christians were to keep the Passover in the manner that Jesus observed His final Passover. And that was at night as a memorial–a memorial is an annual, not a weekly event. Notice that Jesus stated, “For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes<\/strong>.” It is Jesus’ death that this commemorates, and the Christian Passover is the annual commemoration of it.<\/p>\n

    That said, in addition to Israeli politics, the fact that some believe that the Jews have at least one unblemished red heifer in 2000 years will may also play a role in the re-implementation of regular animal sacrifices.<\/p>\n

    Here is a video related to that:<\/p>\n

    5 Red Heifers and Year 5783?<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    The Temple Institute announced that \u201c5 perfect, unblemished red heifers arrived in Israel from the USA\u201d on September 15, 2022.. Chanan Kupietzky, an Orthodox Jewish teacher, pointed out that last year was 5781 in the Jewish calendar, pointing to the year these red heifers were conceived, 5782 is when they were to arrive in Israel, and that the year beginning sunset September 25, 2022 is supposedly 5783, which is supposed to be the year of red heifer redemption. Is that the correct year anno mundi<\/em> (year of the earth) or is 5989 to 5992 more in line with history? What about the claimed Shemitah year? Might the appearance of a proper red heifer encourage the Sanhedrin to begin regular animal sacrifices? Might political considerations result in the resumption of animal sacrifices? Does the Bible show that animal sacrifices in Israel will be stopped? Does possibly having a red heifer mean that a massive Jewish temple is about to be rebuilt in Jerusalem? Do Christians need the sacrifice of Jesus or the blood of a red heifer to be purified? How close do we seem to be for Daniel 9:27b to be fulfilled? <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Here is a link to our video: 5 Red Heifers and Year 5783?<\/a><\/p>\n

    Such sacrifices will be stopped by the coming King of the North Beast power (Daniel 9:27, 11:31), about 3 1\/2 years before Jesus returns.<\/p>\n

    We look are getting closer to that time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Some items of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n

    The Red Heifer, Jewish Beliefs, and the End of the World<\/a> The Temple Institute is watching a \u2018red heifer.\u2019 Why might this be important in the sequence of end time events?

    \n    Why is a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem Not Required?<\/a> Although people like Timothy LaHaye teach a third Jewish temple is required, who is \u2018the temple of God\u201d in the New Testament? Does the Bible require a rebuilt Jewish Temple?

    \n    Church of God on Jerusalem\u2019s Western Hill<\/a> Could this building, often referred to as the Cenacle, which is located on a Mount Zion, possibly have been the oldest actual Christian church building? There is also a video titled Might the oldest church building have prophetic ramifications?<\/a>
    \n    The \u2018Peace Deal\u2019 of Daniel 9:27<\/a> This prophecy could give up to 3 1\/2 years advance notice of the coming Great Tribulation. Will most ignore or misunderstand its fulfillment? Here is a link to a related sermon video Daniel 9:27 and the Start of the Great Tribulation<\/a>.
    \n    Does the \u2018Cenacle\u2019 deal have prophetic ramifications?<\/a> After a 20 year negotiation, the Church of Rome has negotiated the right to have Catholic mass in the building known as the Cenacle. It is in the area where the Church of God on Jerusalem\u2019s Western Hill once stood. This is believed to be the location of the earliest Christian church building. How does the Bible define the \u2018temple of God\u2019 in the New Testament? Could this be the area where the \u2018man of sin\u2019 will sit in the \u201ctemple of God\u2019 that Bible prophecy discusses in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4? This is a YouTube video.
