Satanic “Dome of the Rock” to be removed
by
Jews in the town of Mitzpe Yericho are taking steps for the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem, by preparing descendents of Cohanim (priests) and Levites for service.
At the Mitzpe Yericho rabbinical school, Temple novice priests learn exactly how to conduct the daily Temple service and offer the required sacrifices of doves, lambs, cows, and grain.
Today is really a historical event for the Jewish people,” organizer Levi Chazan said as another part of the school was completed. “It is the beginning of the work for the Third Temple.”
The school will include an exact replica of the Temple. The latest addition to the replica was the area in which priests offered wine and water libations. The water offering was traditionally given on the Sukkot holiday, which was celebrated last week.
Festivities accompanied the completion of another step in the school's construction. Among those present was Baruch Marzel, long-time Land of Israel activist and parliamentary aide to MK Michael Ben-Ari. The timing of the work on the school is particularly appropriate due to recent Muslim riots against Jewish visits to the Temple Mount, Marzel said.
Some Christians believe that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ cannot occur until the Third Temple is constructed in Jerusalem, which requires the appearance of a red heifer born in Israel. Clyde Lott, a cattle breeder in O'Neill, Nebraska, United States, is attempting to breed red heifers with the intent of exporting them to Israel in preparation of the Parousia.

Someone needs to tell them this can’t possibly be happening!
At least, that’s what the Christian Reconstructionists tell me!
Is this a joke? Satire? Or is it from some Christian Zionist website?
I'm a huge supporter of Israel, but this animal sacrifice stuff just sounds nutty.

another thread about this from yesterday...
I am Jewish....and I’ll have no part in sacrifices. Maybe some grain, but I prefer my steaks rare!
I wonder if they’ll run into any of the problems Julian the Apostate encountered when he set about this project back in the 4th century?
Have they found all of the Temple Furniture. What about the Ark?
What are we going to do about those two Mosques??
Indiana Jones has the Ark.
It’s in a warehouse in DC.
BULLDOZER!
Bulldozing is too crass...... I much prefer some sort of dramatic act of destruction.
Hmmmm
I thought ‘the red heifer’ has to be born before the temple is built? Hmmmmmmm.
I'd blame the explosion on a mis-aimed Hezbolah missile.
There are others working hard to make that happen asap as well.
Well they are in the planning stages now....anyway, as long as it pisses off the right people.
True. Hehe.
I guess Joy Behar is the wrong type of ‘red heifer’, huh? Hehe. ;-)
It is neither. So far it is just in the planning stages, as it has been since 1948. However, as I understand it, there is a group that has been gathering the stone, gold, silver, and other items for many years and is prepared to begin building the temple as soon as they are able.
My father’s said of the family is from German Jewish stock, but Jewishness passes via the mother so I’m not.
But if this country falls to socialism I may try to make aliyah anyway :-)
What are we going to do about those two Mosques??
I posted view on that yesterday....

No, he doesn’t. It’s in that big government warehouse, remember?

Ah yes, the “Rachel Corrie” Model.
***I’m a huge supporter of Israel, but this animal sacrifice stuff just sounds nutty***
As a Christian it is important because the rebuilding and reinstituting of the sacrifices are prophetic.
I’ve often wondered about this, not being Jewish myself. In the Torah, it appears that the father determined if the child was Jewish. David’s great-grandmother Ruth was not Jewish, yet David is. And the biblical lineages focused on the paternal and not maternal ancestors.
May I suggest reading the Old Testament. Animal sacrifice was the only way to atone for one’s sins. The sacrificial blood of the animal absolved your sins.
This same act was accomplished by Jesus on the cross thus absolving my sins.
But if this country falls to socialism I may try to make aliyah anyway :-)
We might go with you.
L'Chaim!
It's sad when something wonderful, such as a desire to see our Savior face to face, is perverted into something hideous, such as the desire to see bad things happen to one's neighbor. Dispensational premillennialism has nearly, I think, run out of gas. And not a moment too soon.
It's interesting, but gypsy fortune tellers refuse to have their own fortunes told. They know, from routine contact with their customers, that the lust to peer into the future is an addictive, and debilitating poison. Those who seek prognosticators are losers. Fatalistic. Failures in their own minds, who seek external forces to blame for their own shortcomings.
This is true even if the fortune tellers are using God's Word for their cracked crystal ball. In fact, since they are dealing with God's Word, they have even fewer excuses for their evil acts than those pagans who tried to read steaming entrails. And fortune-telling is a profoundly evil act. The "prophecy teachers" unanimously predict a global triumph for the other team, and assert, in a vile and pernicious libel against God's goodness and power, that the gospel is inadequate, not good enough, to measure up to the demands of our age.
I think it's past time for us to tolerate these doomsayers as Christians who are attempting to preach God's Word in good faith. Their reaction to the fall of the Soviet Union indicts them forever in the eyes of those who have eyes to see. Rather than giving God glory for His great mercies -- they frantically tried to find another cosmic boogyman to blame all the world's problems on. We who take the work of God seriously, what He achieved through the death, burial, resurrection, and enthronement of the Lord Jesus Christ, need to shake off our reluctance to call bovine feces by its true name: a slander against the God of Heaven.
If fortune telling is evil, how do you explain the many predictions of the future in the bible?
Ping to the Red Heffer breeder who moved to Israel.
“I am Jewish....and I’ll have no part in sacrifices. Maybe some grain . . “
That didn’t work too well for Cain.
Julian the Hellene was apparently a pagan, who worshipped the Roman “gods.”
Not the person to build G-d’s Temple, I would think.
In the spring of 2003 a group of ultra orthodox students laid a symbolic corner stone at the border of the temple mount stating the temple could be built there and not necessarily exactly on the dome’s location!
Their point as has been my point for years is that there is no “mandated spot” for the third temple to be built in Jerusalem. The temple could be built any time God and the winds of prophecy allow! The Dome doesn’t have to magically disappear and there is no biblical prophecy that says the third temple has to be built exactly on the mount of Olives, the Bible says simply it will be rebuilt in the latter days!
Indeed, the mount of Olives is prophesied to split in two, North to South as the foot of the Son of Man touches down on it. So perhaps it wouldn’t be a good idea to put a new temple directly on the mount.(There is a fault line in the mountain and at the base of the mountain and indeed underlying the city is a huge reservoir of fresh water. When the mountain splits at the time of the last battle, water will run east and west. The water is said to have healing properties and all the poisoned seas and rivers will be made pure by these waters)
“thought ‘the red heifer’ has to be born before the temple is built?”
No, merely before it is utilized.
Ikea
Ruth coverted to Judaism.
As to Abraham and Sarah, for that matter.
There is no difference between a Jew-by-Choice and a Jew-by-being-Chosen.
When Christ rules Jerusalem directly, there won’t be any more sacrifices; HE, the living sacrifice will reign there supreme!

“May I suggest reading the Old Testament. Animal sacrifice was the only way to atone for one’s sins. The sacrificial blood of the animal absolved your sins.”
Actually, no.
The blood made you ritually clean, so as to be able to approach G-d. You are absolved by asking G-d for forgiveness and repenting of your sinful ways.
How about these guys (they even say a prayer before they push the button): http://www.controlled-demolition.com/
I’ve often thought meterologists should be doomed to Hell, myself.
From what I understand the Mount of Olives is actually a hill east of Jerusalem. But you are correct, it was David’s wish to build the Temple and it was he who chose the site, not God.
We have one of those in the equipment yard where I work. Don’t use it much, because to move it you have to take the blade and tracks off.
That explains part of my question. However, that doesn't explain why the biblical lineages refer to the paternal heritage and not the maternal heritage.
“However, that doesn’t explain why the biblical lineages refer to the paternal heritage and not the maternal heritage.”
Your tribe (e.g., Levi) is decided by your paternal line.
The red heifer is already born.
David certainly bought the real estate, but I would opine that G-d picked the location, starting with Issac.
Also, kingship was paternal.
