As the spiritual descendant of Rome, the nation that destroyed the Second Temple, Trump has the potential to do a <em>tikkun<\/em>, fixing the sin of Rome, and returning the glory to Western society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump\u2019s election is a necessary element of the <em>geula<\/em> (redemption) and a sign that the <em>moshiach <\/em>(messiah) is imminent,\u201d Rabbi Berger said. \u201cThat is why <a href=\"https:\/\/israel365news.com\/323848\/the-trump-king-david-connection-and-how-it-connects-with-abrahams-covenant\/\">Donald Trump in <em>Gematria<\/em><\/a> (Hebrew numerology) equals 424, which is the same as <em>Moshiach ben David<\/em> (Messiah from the house of David),\u201d Rabbi Berger pointed out. \u201cThis certainly does not mean he will be the Messiah, but it indicates that he will play a role in preparing the way for the arrival of the Messiah. He clearly has this inclination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This connection was so evident in Trump\u2019s connection with Jerusalem that in 2018, the Sanhedrin <a href=\"https:\/\/israel365news.com\/321845\/sanhedrin-temple-movement-issue-silver-half-shekel-images-trump-cyrus\/\">minted a coin with the profile of Trump<\/a> superimposed on the image of Persian King Cyrus, who facilitated the building of the Second Temple in Jerusalem that ended the Babylonian Exile in 538 BCE. Cyrus was not Jewish<\/p>\n<p>Cyrus\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/israel365news.com\/320458\/messianic-trump-cyrus-connection-revealed-hebrew-numerology-bible-codes\/\">connection to the Messiah<\/a> is found in the Book of Isaiah. The Persian king is the only non-Jewish leader to be referred to in the Bible as Moshiach, literally \u2018His anointed one\u2019. The word for \u2018anointed one\u2019 in Hebrew is \u2018Moshiach\u2019 (\u05de\u05e9\u05d9\u05d7), which means \u201cMessiah\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><em>Thus said Hashem to <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/theisraelbible.com\/glossary\/koresh\/\"><em>Cyrus<\/em><\/a><em>, His anointed one\u2014 Whose right hand He has grasped, treading down nations before him, ungirding the loins of kings, opening doors before him and letting no gate stay shut. Isaiah 45:1<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Rabbi Berger cited the medieval commentator, Rashi, who stated (Daniel 12:12) that <em>moshiach<\/em> will be revealed, concealed, and then revealed again. This was also stated in Midrash Rabbah (Bamidbar 11:3):<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRabbi Berachia in the name of Rabbi Levi said: Just like the first redeemer, Moshe, revealed himself to the Jews and then concealed himself, similarly the final redeemer will reveal himself and then conceal himself, and then return and reveal himself again\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike Cyrus, God put Donald Trump in power in order to build the Temple and pave the way for <em>moshiach,<\/em>\u201d Rabbi Berger said. \u201cLike Moses, Trump began as part of the common people, was revealed in his first success entering the White House, but was then hidden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike Moses, now that Trump has been revealed for the second time, he will fulfill his ultimate function,\u201d Rabbi Berger said. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust like the Second Temple, the Third Temple will be built by non-Jews,\u201d Rabbi Berger said. \u201cThis will only be fully revealed after Trump fulfills this role.\u201d &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Midrash Rabba<\/em> asked, \u2018why is edom compared to a <em>\u2018chazir\u2019<\/em>? The answer <em>Midrash Rabba<\/em> gives is based on the root of the word <em>chazir<\/em>, which literally means \u2018to return,\u2019\u201d Rabbi Berger continued.\u00a0 \u201c<em>Midrash Rabba<\/em> stated, \u2018in the future Edom will return the glory to its former status.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rabbi Berger emphasized that these sources state explicitly that the Third Temple will be built by the descendants of Rome, i.e. Christianity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRabbeinu Behaye explained this is a <em>tikkun<\/em> (reparation). Rome destroyed the Second Temple so Rome\u2019s descendants, the Christians, are going to amend this by taking part in bringing the Third Temple.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/israel365news.com\/397766\/midrash-hints-that-trump-will-return-glory-to-western-world-by-building-third-temple\/\">https:\/\/israel365news.com\/397766\/midrash-hints-that-trump-will-return-glory-to-western-world-by-building-third-temple\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Remember that a Midrash is not scripture.<\/p>\n<p>It may be of interest to recall that many years back Alton \u201cDon\u201d Billingsley of the Church of God-Faithful Flock (CGFF) took out an advertisement in the old <em>The Journal: News of the Churches of God<\/em> related to Donald Trump and Cyrus. Here are some of his claims:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Possibly as soon as 2018 or 2019, President Trump will follow the historical duality of King Cyrus, who made a proclamation that the second Temple would be rebuilt in the first year of his reign over Babylon. This was after the LORD stirred his spirit up to do it (Ezra 1:1). Jesus Christ will also stir up the spirit of President Trump to do the same before he leaves office in 2020. The way was paved for the Temple to be built when Jesus Christ stirred the mind of President Trump to move the Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. He fulfilled the promise he had made during his campaign to do it. And he did it in his first year in office as did King Cyrus in his first year. \u2026<\/p>\n<p>President Trump has been made aware of his likeness to King Cyrus by the religious people in Israel. And Christ using his brashness and lack of fear of what anyone thinks of his decisions will stir up his mind at the exact time to make the proclamation. With his support, the Jewish people will begin the sacrificial offerings and laying the foundation for the new Temple. \u2026<\/p>\n<p>Considering the hostility of the Arab nations and their threats of war, there are those who say this will be utterly impossible! There will be hostility against it from Congress and the Defense Department as well as from others. But to say this is impossible in view of their hostility and threats is to leave Jesus Christ out of the picture! Nothing is impossible with Him! Please remember His intervention at needed times can be seen throughout history. And the prophecy concerning the Temple will be fulfilled, for He will be behind it (Isaiah 46:8-10). \u2026<\/p>\n<p>the need to make the needed changes in life to be protected from the awful things that are very near to all of us and be prepared for the coming of Jesus Christ. And seeing the building of the Third Temple should be a real wake-up call to that end!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Note: Isaiah 46:8-10 says NOTHING ABOUT A TEMPLE TO BE BUILT.<\/p>\n<p>Now let\u2019s go back to the Hebrew scriptures and look at the Cyrus prophecy:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div id=\"v-24\" class=\"verse font-helvetica\"><span class=\"verse-number\">24<\/span> <span class=\"verse-24\"> \u201cThis is what the LORD says\u2014 your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the LORD, the Maker of all things, who stretches out the heavens, who spreads out the earth by myself, <\/span><span class=\"verse-number\">25<\/span> <span class=\"verse-25\"> who foils the signs of false prophets and makes fools of diviners, who overthrows the learning of the wise and turns it into nonsense, <\/span><span class=\"verse-number\">26<\/span> <span class=\"verse-26\"> who carries out the words of his servants and fulfills the predictions of his messengers, who says of Jerusalem, \u2018It shall be inhabited,\u2019 of the towns of Judah, \u2018They shall be rebuilt,\u2019 and of their ruins, \u2018I will restore them,\u2019 <\/span><span class=\"verse-number\">27<\/span> <span class=\"verse-27\"> who says to the watery deep, \u2018Be dry, and I will dry up your streams,\u2019 <\/span><span class=\"verse-number\">28<\/span> <span class=\"verse-28\"> who says of Cyrus, \u2018He is my shepherd and will accomplish all that I please; he will say of Jerusalem, \u201cLet it be rebuilt,\u201d and of the temple, \u201cLet its foundations be laid.\u201d \u2019 <\/span>(Isaiah 44:24-28)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>45:1 \u201cThus says the Lord to His anointed,<br \/>\nTo Cyrus, whose right hand I have held \u2014<br \/>\nTo subdue nations before him<br \/>\nAnd loose the armor of kings,<br \/>\nTo open before him the double doors,<br \/>\nSo that the gates will not be shut:<br \/>\n2 \u2018I will go before you<br \/>\nAnd make the crooked places straight;<br \/>\nI will break in pieces the gates of bronze<br \/>\nAnd cut the bars of iron.<br \/>\n3 I will give you the treasures of darkness<br \/>\nAnd hidden riches of secret places,<br \/>\nThat you may know that I, the Lord,<br \/>\nWho call you by your name,<br \/>\nAm the God of Israel.<br \/>\n4 For Jacob My servant\u2019s sake,<br \/>\nAnd Israel My elect,<br \/>\nI have even called you by your name;<br \/>\nI have named you, though you have not known Me.

Daniel 9:26-27 tie directly in with Daniel 11:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"style18\"><span id=\"en-NKJV-22068\">31\u00a0And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily <em>sacrifices,<\/em> and place <em>there<\/em> the abomination of desolation.<\/span> (Daniel 11:31)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"style18\">11 He even exalted himself as high as the Prince of the host; and by him the daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place of His sanctuary was cast down. 12 Because of transgression, an army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices; and he cast truth down to the ground.

The Palestinian President (Mahmoud Abbas) said that this pronouncement eliminated the USA as being a fair mediator for a peace deal. Others have claimed that Donald Trump is an end time Cyrus and his pronouncement will lead to a Third Temple in Jerusalem. Is there ever going to be a peace deal? If so, will Europeans be part of it?
