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.
Excuse me, the Church is called Hagia Sophia and was an Orthodox church before the Ottoman conquest (and is now a museum since the establishment of the Turkish Republic).
Isn't the rebuilding of the temple the place when the Anti-Christ will come into power?
The only thing is how will the Anti-Chruat fool the billions of Christians who know this is prophecy? someone will try and kill him sure as the sun will rise...
This is the rock with the footprint in it. I don't believe the bible mentions that particular rock. There's a totally different rock named, but no one seems to know where it is.
BTW, we had a thread here the other day where the first Christian church in a town somewhere was built out of a converted pagan temple. They even kept the old stand for the altar where animals were sacrificed but they replaced the top.
Folks do this quite regularly as one world religion moves in to displace another one. Islam is not the first one to do that.
Trying to win converts to the Death Cult, Mohamed?
BTW, discovering the site of Herod's Temple does not necessarily reveal the site of Solomon's Temple.
Ping!!!
"The Church of San Sofia in Istanbul is a Catholic church converted to a mosque."
Visit Spain and Portugal and you'll see a lot of Mosques converted into Catholic Churches.... so ?
Interesting article - http://www.cryptojews.com/Ornament.htm
That's what that "muzzein" guy in the tower is shouting -
"....aaaaaaaAAAAAA$$$$$$$$$HHHOOOOOLLLLEEsssssssuuuuuPPPPPP!"
Moslems have tried and true methods for turning such folks into very good converts. It's better to know "true facts" than "funny stories" about Islamic foibles in order to counter them.
The latest in document research reveals that the earliest Korans (pre-dot Arabic) are mostly written in Syriac-Aramaic, and are better read in that language than in any construct identified as "Classical Arabic".
The most interesting things pour out of this new translation ~ one is that the oldest part of the Koran, the supposedly divinely revealed core, is mostly a Christian document designed in Damascus to be used to convert the pagans at Mecca to Christianity.
The Meccans added the rest of the stuff over the next 180 years. This is why the Koran only "refers" to material in the Bible and New Testament, and does not contain much in the way of divine text.
No doubt they knew this in the early days, particularly during the first 300 years of their history where Moslems attended Christian mass.
All are advised to read

2 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the east; and the sound of his coming was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with his glory. 3 And the vision I saw was like the vision which I had seen when he came to destroy the city, and like the vision which I had seen by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face. 4 As the glory of the LORD entered the temple by the gate facing east, 5 the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the temple. 6 While the man was standing beside me, I heard one speaking to me out of the temple; 7 and he said to me, "Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the people of Israel for ever. And the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their harlotry, and by the dead bodies of their kings, 8 by setting their threshold by my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall between me and them. They have defiled my holy name by their abominations which they have committed, so I have consumed them in my anger. 9 Now let them put away their idolatry and the dead bodies of their kings far from me, and I will dwell in their midst for ever.
No, I was hopeing you'd remember that Christian churches all have as their primary feature THE ALTAR.
You deny legitimacy to millions of Christians when you do that you know.
BTW, "God" is an Anglo-Saxon word better applied to Thor than to the "God of Abraham".
The primary feature in my church is Jesus.
So, which 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Temple are you talking about?
(BTW, I'm pretty sure I've missed some of the Temples in a long series of Temples ~ then there's the Temple where the Samaritans made sacrifice ~ )
YHWH then... not "allah."
He built the Mosque over the heel stone of the Altar for the glory of God.
You may disagree with him on many things, but that's not one of the things to get upset about.
