THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TEMPLE

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TEMPLE

“THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TEMPLE” Part I

The interest in the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple has accelerated in recent days. A video on “YouTube” shows the building of a special training center for priests who will be ready to serve in this Temple. The Jewish Sanhedrin has been reestablished and their efforts are centered in the reestablishment of the Jewish Temple.

The word “temple” is used 204 times in the Bible – 117 of those times in the NT. The words “temple of the Lord” are found 24 times, once in the NT. The words “temple of God” appear 9 times. The word “tabernacle” is used 328 times, 20 in the NT. The words “holy place” are found 60 times – 5 in the NT. The words “the most holy” appear 24 times and the words “the most holy place” another 10 times. The phrase “the mountain of the Lord” is found 4 times, and the words “the house of the Lord” occur 234 times. Other usages include “the mount of the Lord” and “the holy mount.” The word “sanctuary” appears 137 times of which 21 usages are in the last nine chapters of Ezekiel that describe a future temple of the Messiah Himself. The evidence totals up to over 1000 usages in the Bible. Isaiah 27:13 speaks of a future day when people will come to “worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.”

CNN Waters Down the Israeli Response

CNN Waters Down the Israeli Response

CNN fails to provide any Israeli reaction to a flawed Amnesty report.

Utilizing the “halo effect,” whereby because of their humanitarian focus, non-governmental organizations are insulated from scrutiny and are regarded as above reproach by the media, Amnesty International has published a report accusing Israel of denying Palestinians access to water supplies.

Standing with Israel

Standing with Israel

By Jim Hutchens

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice said: [Re: The Goldstone Report]

“It is outrageous that a respected institution like the United Nations provides a platform to spread lies and stories about Israel.”

The Goldstone report accuses Israel Defense Forces and Palestinian militants of war crimes and possible crimes against humanity during their Dec. 27-Jan. 18 conflict in the Gaza Strip.

“The United Nations provides a stage for Ahmadinejad, who threatens to annihilate Israel, and lets him stand judge …This is nothing short of ridiculous.”

Rice promised that the United States will continue to stand by Israel as a loyal friend in the fight against the Goldstone report.

God says:

“Because of the oppression of the weak and the groaning of the needy, I will now arise, says Yahweh. I will protect them from those who malign them.”… “Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge uprightly among men? No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence on the earth.”…“If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked.” (Psalm 12:5; 59:1-2; Proverbs 29:12).

The Jerusalem Connection says: While the trend lines of the Obama administration do not bode well for Israel, we can be grateful with respect to the scandalous findings of the Goldstone Report, we are standing with Israel. The tried and true axiom still stands,

“I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.” (Genesis 12:3).

If our blessing Israel ever turns to cursing, our demise will soon follow.

The Latest Anti-Israel Stunt

The Latest Anti-Israel Stunt
By David Warren

The significance of Israel to the west is out of all proportion to her size and in direct relation to her place, on the front line. The country is unambiguously western, and not only her institutions but the way they operate leave no doubt of this. When, for instance, there are allegations that Israeli troops have committed crimes, in the course of military operations, there is an investigation. The contents and conclusions of that investigation are invariably made known. There will most certainly be open public discussion, and Israel’s press is remarkably free. [...]

Kerry, Hagel to Keynote ‘Anti-Israel’ Dinner
By Aaron Klein

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., and former Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., are among the keynote speakers slated to address the annual dinner of J Street, a controversial Israel lobby group accused of working against the Jewish state, while scores of lawmakers are backing out of the event amid news media coverage of the organization’s agenda.

Nearly 160 congressional lawmakers, mostly Democrats, endorsed the Oct. 26 dinner with some reportedly slated to attend.

The night’s speaker list includes politicians as well as poet Josh Healey, who has penned works implying Israel is perpetuating a Holocaust against Palestinians.

NEW YORK BOROUGH BECOMES “ENEMY TERRITORY” FOR CHRISTIANS AND JEWS

NEW YORK BOROUGH BECOMES “ENEMY TERRITORY” FOR CHRISTIANS AND JEWS
September 16th, 2009

Bam! Bam! Bam!

It’s 3:30 a.m. in Brooklyn and Mohammad Boota, a Pakistani immigrant, is beating his barrel drum along Coney Island Avenue and Foster Avenue.

Boota, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1992 from Pakistan, is joined by other drummers, other Pakistani immigrants, as the cries of muezzins ring out from loud speakers throughout the borough.

The racket goes on every morning during Ramadan.

The pounding of the drums, Boota explains, is necessary to wake believers so they can eat a meal before the day’s fasting must begin….

TURKEY TURNS ON ISRAEL

TURKEY TURNS ON ISRAEL

Turkey is a beautiful, wonderful and fascinating country.

The Apostle Paul wrote much of the New Testament either in Turkey (then “Asia Minor”), or to the churches located throughout that remarkable land. The Apostle John saw in Turkey the startling vision of the End Times that became the Book of Revelation. The country later became the seat of the Ottoman Islamic empire. Later it became a modern democracy, a NATO ally, a friend of Israel, and the original “Reformer” country. I have been there numerous times and shot part of the Inside The Revolution documentary film there last year.

But something is amiss…

6 For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because you have clapped your hands and stamped your feet, rejoicing with all the malice of your heart against the land of Israel, 7 therefore I will stretch out my hand against you and give you as plunder to the nations. I will cut you off from the nations and exterminate you from the countries. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am the LORD.’ ” Ezekiel 25:6-7

Obama ‘loathes’ Israel

Ministry leader: Obama ‘loathes’ Israel

A Messianic Jewish leader and Israel supporter is outraged that an Obama website recently published an article comparing Israelis to Nazis.

According to the Israeli news service Arutz Sheva (IsraelNationalNews.com), Organizing for America — the political arm of President Barack Obama — recently carried an entry on its website from ultra-left-wing professor Richard Falk. Falk, reportedly a supporter of Ayatollah Khomeini’s 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran, was once deported from Israel for statements he made comparing Israeli treatment of the Palestinians to the Holocaust.

Neo-Replacement Theology

Neo-Replacement Theology

By Thomas Ice

“Supersessionism is the view that the New Testament Church supersedes, replaces, or fulfills the nation Israel’s place and role in the plan of God,”1 notes Mike Vlach, who has written a PhD dissertation on the topic.2 Supersessionism is another term, often found in academic circles, for replacement theology. Today there is a growing trend for some who teach replacement theology to deny that their views should legitimately be classified as supersessionism…
