NEW 'SANHEDRIN' CALLS FOR ARCHITECTURAL BLUEPRINT TO REBUILD JEWISH TEMPLE

New 'Sanhedrin' Calls For Architectural Blueprint To Rebuild Jewish Temple

The Israeli rabbinical council involved with re-establishing the Sanhedrin, is calling upon all groups involved in Temple Mount research to prepare detailed architectural plans for the reconstruction of the Jewish Holy Temple.

The Sanhedrin was a 71-man assembly of rabbis that convened adjacent to the Holy Temple before its destruction in 70 AD and outside Jerusalem until about 400 AD.

The move followed the election earlier this week of Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz as temporary president of a group aspiring to become Judaism's highest-ranking legal-religious tribunal.

However, although Steinsaltz's involvement with the endeavor adds important rabbinic legitimacy, other major halachic authorities, including Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv, the leading haredi Ashkenazi spiritual leader, and Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the premier Sephardi halachic opinion, have refused repeated requests to offer their support.

Nevertheless, the group will establish a forum of architects and engineers to begin plans for rebuilding the Temple – a move fraught with religious and political volatility.

The group, which calls itself the Sanhedrin, is calling on the Jewish people to contribute toward the acquisition of materials for the purpose of rebuilding the Temple – including the gathering and preparation of prefabricated, disassembled portions to be stored and ready for rapid assembly, "in the manner of King David."

Rabbi Hillel Weiss, spokesman for the burgeoning Sanhedrin, said in an official statement that because of "concerns that external pressure would be brought to bear upon individuals not to take part in the establishment of a Sanhedrin, the names of most participants have been withheld up to this point."

"The increasingly anti-Jewish decisions handed down by the Supreme Court prove the need for an alternative legal system based on Jewish sources," said Weiss. "More and more people, including Torah scholars, are beginning to understand this."

The Sanhedrin was reestablished last October in Tiberias, the place of its last meeting 1,600 years ago. Since then, it has met in Jerusalem on a monthly basis.

Good one Yehuda...

All:

It's all too simple.

"Church" is any group of believers.

Table, altar, buildings etc are irrelevant.

THE Church is all believers.

"A temple has to be built during the reign of Antichrist because the Bible says he will enter the Temple and desecrate it by placing an image of himself in the Holy of Holies, and is referred to as the "Abomination of Desolation"."

The prophecy of the rebuilding of the Temple much predated Alexandrian and Roman thoughts and writings on the matter. It was defiled and/or destroyed by the Babylonians, the Greeks and the Romans--all with the thread of one competing religion (the religion that influenced Babylon, Macedonia, then Rome) against that of the Hebrews. You might be interested in reading Ezekiel, chapters 40-43.

...and maybe about the following opinions, also.

Will the Messiah build the Third Temple, or will it descend from heaven?

Simply amazing ~ so this is a thread "about Jews"?

The title concerns the "Temple". Certainly it has a connection to Jews, but it also has a connection to Christians, which only a bigot would deny.

I think you're hitting the religious equivalent of the "race card" a bit early in the debate. Your analysis and digression of anything I've said is also substantially in error.

So, a "church" is all believers, but what is a "church building" if not a "building". If you wish to discuss the "church" as a metaphysical construct, then do so, but if you wish to discuss "church architecture through the ages", you can do that too. I didn't mix the concepts, but you are doing so.

The only purpose served by such behavior is to create a false sense of self-righteous indignation which enables you to mock Christianity.

"This is a description of the "Rapture" which will take place BEFORE the reign of antichrist."

I have no doubt in the Scriptures you referenced but in reading the Scriptures it is not clear on the timeline of when this is going to happen. There is a verse that says we will "spared the wrath to come" which I take as meaning we will be spared as Christians the really nasty stuff to come after the Anti-Christ enters the Temple at Jeruselum.

Saint Sophia Church was an Eastern Orthodox Church stolen by Turks after they murdered the priests and hundreds of thousands Orthodox Christians in Constantinople in the 15th century... about 1465. The Turks proceeded to attempt to destroy ALL Christians in the area who would not convert to islam. Turks were BUTCHERS!!

The Great Schism that separated the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Church happened in about 1054.

Are Levites among the "new" Sanhedrin?

In general you'd expect them to be, but I don't believe that's a requirement. I know very little about the composition, or validity, of this Sanhedrin.

"If a Temple is to be built, we need to know if this really is the site, and not just something accepted as the site."

Though this is not a small matter, don't trip over it. The Jews have known exactly where the Temple should be built for a long long time.

Which Jews? There is dispute on the matter.
