Smotrich Calls For ‘Rebuilding Temple’ During Jerusalem Day Celebrations<\/h2>\n

May 28, 2025<\/p>\n

Israeli<\/a>\u00a0Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has\u00a0called for the rebuilding of a Jewish temple on the site of Al-Aqsa Mosque and for the expansion of Israel\u2019s borders<\/strong>\u00a0and Jewish settlements in Gaza.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0speech<\/a>\u00a0addressing crowds at a Jerusalem Day rally on Monday, which celebrates Israel\u2019s occupation of the old city of Jerusalem, Smotrich also called for\u00a0“complete redemption” and reconstruction of “the Temple here,”<\/strong>\u00a0referring to Al-Aqsa Mosque, which settlers had raided earlier.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are conquering the Land of Israel, liberating Gaza, settling Gaza and defeating the enemy,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0Smotrich said to crowds that had chanted \u201cdeath to Arabs\u201d as they marched through Jerusalem\u2019s Old City and attacked Palestinians.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith God\u2019s help, we will expand Israel\u2019s borders, bring about complete redemption, and rebuild the Temple here,\u201d he said. https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/geopolitical\/smotrich-calls-rebuilding-temple-during-jerusalem-day-celebrations<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While the Bible clearly states that animal sacrifices be stopped by the coming King of the North (Daniel 11:31), this means that they must be restarted first.<\/p>\n

But an actual massive temple is not required.<\/p>\n

The Temple Institute had the following in its newsletter last year:<\/p>\n

\n

“In accordance with all that HaShem had commanded”<\/em><\/h2>\n

(Exodus 39:42)<\/p>\n

Adar Sheni 5, 5784\/March 15, 2024<\/p>\n

“And G-d saw all that He had made, and behold it was very good, and it was evening and it was morning, the sixth day. Now the heavens and the earth were completed and all their host. And G-d completed on the seventh day His work that He did, and He abstained on the seventh day from all His work that He did. And G-d blessed the seventh day and He hallowed it, for thereon He abstained from all His work that G-d created to do.”<\/em>\u00a0(Genesis 1:31-2:3)<\/p>\n

“In accordance with all that HaShem had commanded Moshe, so did the children of Israel do all the work. Moshe saw the entire work, and lo! they had done it – as HaShem had commanded, so had they done. So Moshe blessed them.”<\/em>\u00a0(Exodus 39:42-43)<\/p>\n

Do you hear what I hear? The grand finale of the building of the\u00a0Mishkan<\/em>\u00a0(Tabernacle) in the wilderness receives a description by Torah eerily similar to the grand finale of the six days of creation. The work of the Tabernacle receives Divine approval just as the work of the heavens and the earth and all that is contained within. And just as G-d blessed and sanctified the seventh day, the place in time in which He would rest from His work, so does\u00a0Moshe<\/em>\u00a0bless the children of Israel who have in six months created the moment in space within which HaShem would rest His presence.<\/p>\n

A modest tent made of wooden beams and animal skins, of dyed fabrics and, yes, of vessels fashioned from silver and gold, merits praise akin to that bestowed upon the creation of the world itself! The labor of mortal man receives the same expressions of admiration as that of the work of the Almighty Creator.<\/p>\n

So concludes the book of Exodus, with the completion of the Tabernacle, its assembly by\u00a0Moshe<\/em>, and the filling up of the Tabernacle with the cloud of\u00a0“the glory of HaShem.”<\/em>\u00a0(ibid 40:35) The same book which opened with the bitter enslavement of the Hebrews in Egypt, closes with HaShem’s manifest presence entering within the midst of the Israelite congregation. The Hebrew slaves left Egypt on the fifteenth day of the month of\u00a0Nisan, “the first of your months,”<\/em>\u00a0(ibid 12:2) and the Tabernacle was completed\u00a0“in the first month, in the second year, on the first day of the month.”<\/em>\u00a0(ibid 40:17) What a difference a year makes!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A year can make a big difference. As Christians, we are to told to examine ourselves every year prior to taking of the bread and wine of Passover (1 Corinthians 11:28; see also Examine Yourself before<\/em> Passover<\/a>). We are also admonished to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18; see also Preparing for the ‘Short Work’ and The Famine of the Word<\/a>).<\/p>\n

We should be different, in a very positive way each year.<\/p>\n

Now another point from the Temple Institute’s newsletter was that the original tabernacle used for animal sacrifices was a tent.<\/p>\n

While the Temple Institute actually wants the area known as the Temple Mount to be cleared of Muslim mosques, etc. in order to build a massive ‘third temple’ (see I365: Hamas \u2018striving to ignite the region during Ramadan\u2019 says Mossad; COGwriter: Could Jesus return in 2031?<\/a>), the reality is that they only need an altar and perhaps a tent. This was confirmed to me by an employee of the Temple Institute when I visited their location in Jerusalem back in October 2013.<\/p>\n

It is also consistent with scripture.<\/p>\n

It should be understood that the Bible itself nowhere teaches that animal sacrifices require a temple in Jerusalem. Also, the position of certain other Jewish scholars is that a physical temple, while helpful, is NOT required.<\/p>\n

Until Solomon built the first temple (1 Kings 6:14), the Bible shows that the Jews sacrificed on altars. David, Solomon’s father, for example sacrificed on an altar (2 Samuel 24:25), as did Aaron and his descendants (Exodus 20:24; Leviticus 1:10-11).\u00a0 And prior to all of that, Abel (Genesis 4:4), Noah (Genesis 8:20), Abraham (Genesis 22:9-13), and others sacrificed animals to God.<\/p>\n

So for over 3,000 years, animal sacrifices were offered without a Jewish temple.<\/p>\n

Even after the first Jerusalem temple was destroyed and left in ruins, the Bible itself specifically shows that sacrifices were made in the time of Ezra BEFORE the second temple was ready:<\/p>\n

6 From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid. (Ezra 3:6)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One may argue that since it takes the participation of Jewish religious leaders in order for Jewish animal sacrifices to be resumed in the 21st century, that the above scripture is a moot point.<\/p>\n

And it might be if there were no Jewish religious leaders that thought that they could not sacrifice without a temple.<\/p>\n

Yet the fact is, that although they are in the minority, there are significant numbers of Jewish religious leaders who are intent on starting animal sacrifices as soon as possible. And these Jewish leaders do not believe that they have to wait in order for a temple to rebuilt in order to do so.<\/p>\n

Notice the following:<\/p>\n

The 71 members of the “Re-established Sanhedrin” say they want to begin sacrificing animals again, despite the absence of the Temple, the ritual altar and all the required implements listed in the Bible. Rabbi Dov Stein of the group admitted\u2026<\/p>\n

“We want to do the sacrifice, but we have political problems,” Stein said. “We hope there will come a time when the government will agree. We will push for that to happen.\u201d (Rabbis aim to renew animal sacrifices<\/em>. Associated Press. Feb 28, 2007. http:\/\/www.jpost.com)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The \u201cSanhedrin\u201d group referred to above began to form in 2004 and claims to have \u201cthe consent of hundreds of rabbis, scholars and leaders\u201d (http:\/\/www.thesanhedrin.org\/en\/index.php\/The_Sanhedrin_Initiative viewed 09\/11\/08). It also has been working on implements, including those related to having an altar.<\/p>\n

Notice something in 2016 from the then leader of the Sanhedrin:<\/p>\n

\n

April 19, 2016<\/p>\n

Breaking Israel News<\/em>\u00a0asked Rabbi Hillel Weiss, secretary of the Nascent Sanhedrin, if the mitzvah of korban pesach is incumbent upon the Jews today by Jewish law, despite the lack of a Temple or an altar. \u201cOf course. There isn\u2019t even a question,\u201d Rabbi Weiss answered. \u201cThere is nothing in Jewish law that prevents us from performing this sacrifice. The only obstacle is the government that will not allow the Jews to do this great mitzvah, so the sin is on them, and not, God forbid, on the Jewish people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Sanhedrin established a committee in 2004 concerning the korban pesach to work in cooperation with all religious, legal, and administrative authorities. The committee has attempted several times to obtain the government\u2019s permission. Legal documents were sent to the Prime Minister, the Supreme Court, and the Chief of Police. The Prime Minister did not respond. The Supreme Court appeared to uphold the right to perform the sacrifice, but denied it on grounds of security. This answer was reiterated by the Chief of Police.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the\u00a0korban pesach<\/em>\u00a0is not dependent on the presence of a Temple and continued long after the Second Temple was destroyed.\u00a0http:\/\/www.breakingisraelnews.com\/66076\/passover-sacrifice-makes-comeback-overlooking-temple-mount-photos\/#zchLRxxm8yeAtXsO.99<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This group has made some attempts to offer sacrifices in the past, but has often ran into political opposition.\u00a0Israeli courts have generally agreed that Jews have the right to perform animal sacrifices, but have repeatedly denied this right as the timing would have excessively negative consequences. And to rebuild a temple in the area that the Muslims consider sacred would be even more problematic politically\u2013especially at this instant. Yet, because the Muslims have a strong presence at the site of the old Temple Mount (Har HaBayit) with their al-Aqsa Mosque, some consider the actual construction of a Jewish temple there to be impossible.<\/p>\n

Though it may well take a war, peace deal, and\/or political gridlock for that to happen. The fact that Israel’s Finance Minister has called for a temple suggests that, to a degree, political sentiment is moving more towards allowing the sacrifices.<\/p>\n

Sacrifices will come to pass. The Sanhedrin wants it (watch also Sanhedrin pushing animal sacrifices<\/a>). In late 2016, they appointed Rabbi Baruch Kahane as the next\u00a0Kohen Gadol<\/em>–high priest (see\u00a0Reconstituted Sanhedrin names high priest in preparation for the restoration of sacrifices; to begin as early as the Day of Atonement?<\/a>). More on the Sanhedrin can be found in the article\u00a0Nascent Sanhedrin structure and high priest: The plan is to start animal sacrifices\u2013this would fulfill prophecy!<\/a><\/p>\n

Furthermore, perhaps it should be realized that the government of Israel does have a certain amount of respect for Yisrael Ariel, the founder of the Temple Institute. Yisrael Ariel is also a member of the “Re-established Sanhedrin.” Actually, the Israeli government announced that Yisrael Ariel was winner of the\u00a0Yaakov Egerst Memorial Award for Jewish Culture<\/em>\u00a0by the Ministry of Education for some of his work (Rabbi Yisrael Ariel to Receive the Jewish Culture Award for 5769<\/em>. Israel National News. Oct 7, 2008).<\/p>\n

As far as other ‘obstacles’ to taking actions, the Temple Institute (whose leader is a member of the Nascent Sanhedrin) already said that it has some possible ‘red heifers’ needed for cleansing (cf. Numbers 19:1-10) that some believe is necessary for animal sacrifices to resume.<\/p>\n

It also has a moveable altar of unhewn (cf. Deuteronomy 27:5-6) stones (see\u00a0Temple Institute Completes Altar of Unhewn Stones<\/a>) as well as implements needed to perform the sacrifices (some of which I personally saw in October 2013).<\/p>\n

And since the high priest is not the only one that would be authorized to perform daily sacrifices, the Temple Institute announced in August 2016 that it had established a school to train others in the ways of being Levitical priests (see\u00a0\u2018Temple Institute Announces School to Train Levitical Priests\u2019<\/a>)–it basically thinks it is read–but intends to continue with more regular training.<\/p>\n

The Sanhedrin and the Temple institute keep taking steps aligning with properly understood end time biblical prophecies about this (see the 2020 post,\u00a0BIN: Jerusalem School Trains Priests to Perform Temple Rituals in Anticipation of 3rd Temple<\/a>). Biblical prophecies will come to pass (2 Peter 1:19).<\/p>\n

For formal clarification of the position of Jewish leaders, I contacted the reconstituted Sanhedrin many years ago and asked why it felt that sacrifices could be started before a temple is rebuilt.<\/p>\n

The response I received was:<\/p>\n

Hichot Maasei HaKorbanot [The Procedures of Offering Sacrifices]<\/p>\n

Chapter 19<\/p>\n

Paragraph 17:<\/p>\n

He who slaughters a Sacrifice in this period [when we have no Temple], and offered the sacrifice outside the Azara [the alloted area of the Temple] – is culpable, because the offering must be performed in the Azara, SINCE IT IS PERMITTED TO PERFORM SACRIFICES despite having no Temple, since the sanctity of the Temple is eternal.<\/p>\n

Paragraph 18:<\/p>\n

He who slaughters the sacrifice of a gentile outside the Azara is culpable, as is one who performs the offering. NON JEWS are permitted to offer burnt-offerings anywhere, on an alkter which they built. Jews may not help them in the performance of this sacrifice, since Jews may not offer sacrifices outside the Azara. But we may instruct them and teach them how to perform sacrificesto the ASlmighty God, Blessed be He.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it is worth noting that on 5766, Rabbi Benyamin Fuss published a 445 page book on Sacrifices of non-jews, of which the text proper is of 372 pages [the rest are indices, etc.] called Torat Habamah: Regarding sacrifices on an Altar outside the Temple. (Email from the Sanhedrin webmaster Abrahamson to Bob Thiel September 17, 2008).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So, the Sanhedrin clearly believed it did not need a third temple to sacrifice.<\/p>\n

Rabbi Yeshayahu Hollander was the English language spokesman for the nascent Sanhedrin.<\/p>\n

The webmaster of the Sanhedrin added the following in a subsequent email to me:<\/p>\n

\n

This quote comes from Maimonides’ (Rambam) work the Mishneh Torah.<\/p>\n

The nascent Sanhedrin sees itself as the continuation of rabbinic jurisprudence, and must take into account all halachic works written to date, and proceed from there. (Email from the Sanhedrin webmaster Abrahamson to Bob Thiel September 17, 2008).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Therefore, it appears to be a longstanding position of some Jewish scholars that Jewish sacrifices can be started on an altar and, as long as it is in the area of the old temple, that a physical temple is not first required.<\/p>\n

This is consistent with Ezra\u2019s previously quoted practice.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, in a case heard in 2010 by the Supreme Court in Israel concerning the sacrifices, there was the following report:<\/p>\n

\n

The organizers also demanded to be allowed to celebrate this coming Passover holiday on the site of the Holy Temple by offering the Paschal sacrifice. They noted that according to Jewish Law, the Holy Temple does not need to be built in order to resume the sacrificial offerings. They emphasized accordingly that the Temple Mount organizations are not trying to change or make\u00a0modifications to any existing\u00a0structures\u00a0on the Mount, but rather aim to\u00a0receive\u00a0permission to build a temporary altar, which would be dismantled\u00a0immediately following the Passover Offering. (Fendel H. Supreme Court: No Passover Sacrifice Again This Year. IsraelNN.com, March 24, 2010. http:\/\/www.israelnationalnews.com\/News\/News.aspx\/136699)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Although the court ruled against allowing this THEN on current political grounds, the point is that there are many Jews are willing to resume the sacrifices without a temple being built or the Temple Mount at all modified.<\/p>\n

And while the Temple Institute itself wants to sacrifice a red heifer first, it claims it has four candidates that are thriving (see Red heifers healthy and thriving\u2013possible sacrifice in April 2024?<\/a>)–and some there hope to sacrifice one later this Spring (see \u2018Red Heifers could be ready for the Temple by Passover\u2019 or Pentecost?<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Because Hamas knows this, it claims that was one of the reasons for their October 7th attack against Israelis (see I365: Hamas Spokesman: Oct 7 attack launched to stop the red heifers<\/a>).<\/p>\n

But no one, Israeli or Hamas or anyone, will be able to stop biblical prophecies from being fulfilled.<\/p>\n

While the Bible does not prophesy the need for another red heifer as the New Testament says they are not needed for Christian redemption per Hebrews 9:13-15, biblically, we know that the sacrifices will be re-implemented by certain Jews as the prophet Daniel was inspired to numerous times that they would be stopped:<\/p>\n

9 And out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Glorious Land. 10 And it grew up to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them. 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. He did all this and prospered.<\/p>\n

13 Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, \u201cHow long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?\u201d<\/p>\n

14 And he said to me, \u201cFor two thousand three hundred days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.\u201d\u00a0 (Daniel 8:9-14)<\/p>\n

27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
\nBut in the middle of the week
\nHe shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering \u2026 (Daniel 9:27)<\/p>\n

31\u00a0And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices,<\/em> and place there<\/em> the abomination of desolation.<\/span> (Daniel 11:31)<\/p>\n

11 \u201cAnd from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.\u00a0 (Daniel 12:11)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, we see that after a deal is made, 3 1\/2 years later, sacrifices will be stopped. By who? Well, the \u201che\u201d above was called a \u201cprince\u201d in Daniel 9:26. He will become the King of the North Beast leader as discussed in Daniel 11:31, 40 and his forces will place an abomination when the sacrifices are stopped (Daniel 11:31). That placement is something that Jesus pointed to as a sign of the end in Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:14.\u00a0 Since Daniel shows that those that wait the 1335 days are then blessed\u2013this looks to be a reference to Jesus returning and establishing the Kingdom of God a little less than four years after the daily sacrifices are stopped by the Beast!<\/p>\n

Since the sacrifices will be stopped they must first start. And that is something that the Temple Institute and Sanhedrin are working towards.<\/p>\n

As Jesus said:<\/p>\n

35 Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming \u2014 in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning \u2014 36 lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!” (Mark 13:35-37)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The animal sacrifice situation is one of the events we in the Continuing<\/em> Church of God are watching for.<\/p>\n

Temple Institute, Heifers, Hamas, and a Tent<\/a><\/h3>\n

In March 2024, the Temple Institute recently pointed out that how God blessed the Sabbath, He also blessed the construction of a tent tabernacle. They pointed out progress from the ancient Israelites. Should Christians be making spiritual progress each year before Passover? The Temple institute has stated that the area called ‘the Temple Mount’ needs to be cleared of Muslim mosques, etc. so that a ‘third temple’ can be built. It also claims that it has four thriving red heifers, one of which it want to sacrifice before the implementation of regular animal sacrifices. Has Hamas claimed that the existence and possible use of a red heifer was a factor in its attack in Israel on October 7, 2023? Does the Temple Institute believe it must have a massive temple in order for sacrifices to resume? Or is having a priesthood, an altar, and a tent enough? What does the Sanhedrin say about that? Did Ezra write that animal sacrifices were made after the first temple was destroyed, but before the second temple was started? Is that believed by numerous modern Jewish rabbis and scholars? Does the Bible teach that regular animal sacrifices will be resumed? Could there be any relationship to the stopping of them and the return of Jesus? Is the day of Jesus coming getting much closer? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie address these issues.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We all need to watch and pray as Jesus said in Luke 21:36 and grow in grace and knowledge and as the Apostle Paul wrote:<\/p>\n

25\u00a0 … exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.\u00a0 (Hebrews 10:25)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That day is approaching more and more.<\/p>\n
