So-called Palestinians need to be ejected from Israel or die. It is that simple. Rebuild the Temple.

Rebuild the Temple.

Why?

"Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up" (John: 2:19)

More---

Solomon’s temple was 30 cubits high (1 Kings 6:2), but Herod had increased the height to 40 cubits (near 60 feet high) according to the writings of Josephus, a first-century Jewish historian.

The book of Exodus teaches that this thick veil was fashioned from blue, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen.

The size and thickness of the veil make the events occurring at the moment of Jesus’ death on the cross so much more momentous. “And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom” (Matthew 27:50-51a).

The tearing of the veil at the moment of Jesus’ death symbolized that His sacrifice, the shedding of His own blood, was a sufficient atonement for sins. It signified that now the way into the Holy of Holies was open for all people, for all time, both Jew and Gentile.

When Jesus died, the veil was torn, and God moved out of that place never again to dwell in a temple made with human hands (Acts 17:24). God was through with that temple and its religious system, and the temple and Jerusalem were left “desolate” (destroyed by the Romans) in A.D. 70, just as Jesus prophesied in Luke 13:35.

As long as the temple stood, it signified the continuation of the Old Covenant. Hebrews 9:8-9 refers to the age that was passing away as the new covenant was being established (Hebrews 8:13).

Jesus himself is the new temple—the new Most Holy Place—with no curtain barring us from Him.
